August 2020 Chibi Release

Hello! 

Today is New Release day at Stampers Delights

I created this card using Chibi Live-Love-Laugh and Craft-On stamps from the New Release. 

Here is my card:

I started by creating this scene with the two image sets and then printed it on Xpress-it paper.  I colored the image and the background with Copic markers.  I chose a hot pink card base, added a Stamping Up DS paper and then adhered the colored image on top (I did use a stitched square die to trim up the image and add a bit more framing before placing it on top).

You can find this Live Love Laugh image HERE:

And you can find this Craft On image HERE:

Frog Boots/Pansies Planter

Hello Friends!

Today I'd like to share a design I did using my pre-colored Imagine That Digistamp set Frog Boots/Pansies Planter... it's so adorable and since I'm a huge fan of frogs, this is one of my favorite digistamp sets :)

I decided to use the pre-colored image in the set but created my own background to go with it.

I printed the pre-colored image and cut it out with my scan n cut.  I used a bee stamp from Stampin Up, stamped it many times and embossed it with black embossing powder.  Next, I colored the background with Tim Holtz distress inks.  I used a blue card base to match the blue pansies and matted both the image and sentiment twice... first with a purple-ish colored card stock and then with a green bubble patterned paper (I rounded the corners of the green patterned paper).  Lastly, I added the matted image/sentiment on top of the background and added a few dots to bling it up a bit.

Here is the link to the Imagine that Digistmap set I used: Frog boots/Pansies Planter

Thanks so much for stopping by... please feel free to ask any questions or just let me know what you think, I'd love to hear from you!

Summer BBQ & Dachshund Party

Hello.... 

Today I have a few card designs to share with you... 

Hope you enjoy them as much as I did creating them :)

First:  Happy Birthday Dad

I started by printing the images (table/condiments were printed in color).  Next I colored the BBQ King with Copic markers.  I chose a red card base and assembled the colored images on top, the BBQ King was popped up with dimensionals (from Stampin Up).

I used the following Imagine That Digistamp sets: 

Summer BBQ Kit                                       Farmer John

  

Second:  Doggone it!

I started by printing the image/sentiment in color.  I chose a yellow card base and then created a background with Tim Holtz Oxide inks.  I matted the colored image on blue card stock and assembled it all together.

Here is the Imagine That Digistamp set I used:

Dachshund Party

Manatee Sports - Imagine That Digistamp

Hello Everyone!

Imagine That Digistamp has some new manatee sports images: Basketball, Soccer & Tennis, I have made some cards using each of these new digistamp sets.  I can't wait for you to see them so let's get started :)

Score!

I printed the image/sentiment on Xpress-it paper & colored it with Copic Markers.  I chose a blue card base, added green patterned paper and mounted the colored image on a paper I created using glitter paste.  Lastly, I added a few stars to bling it up a bit.

Here is the digistamp set I used:

Manatee Basketball

Next we have: Goal!

I printed the image/sentiment (Goal!) on Xpress-it paper and colored it with Copic Markers.  I chose an orange card base, added patterned paper from the 6x6 Perfectly Plaid paper pack by Lawn Fawn and then used my black copic marker to trace along the edge of the colored image to give it a little framed look.  Once assembled, I added a sentiment from Stampin' Up matted with black card stock.

Here's the digistamp set I used:

Manatee Soccer

(you can give the manatee whatever soccer # you'd like as the image has no # however you get a set of numbers to use, that way your little manatee can have the same number as your little soccer player... so cool!  I just love to personalize)

Last one:  Tennis

(front of card when closed)

(front of card when opened)

(side view of card when opened)

   

I printed the image/sentiment on Xpress-it paper and colored it with Copic Markers.  I chose a brown card base for this 3D card.  For the top of the card I created a patterned paper with Oxide inks and hand wrote "So Proud of You" on it and then matted it with white card stock.  Then I assembled the card.

Here is the digistamp set I used:

Manatee Tennis

Aren't these digistamp sets so so cute?!!!  And they are just in time for back to school and extra curricular activities such as these.

If you'd like to get these images, they are available in the shop now.  Just click on the name above the digistamp image.
