DeNami Product Spotlight: Happy Easter

DeNami Product Spotlight for April is the Happy Eater sentiment.

It's a timeless font and can be used for many years to come... plus it's 10% for one week!

I stamped the Happy Easter using 3 different colors of ink onto some scrap grid paper.  I mounted each one on a matching piece of cardstock.  I dug through my Easter stamps and stamped the bunny from the cuddly pals set, sheep, and Easter chickie in black and colored with copics. They are layered onto circles and foam taped up.    Pretty patterned paper made it quick and easy! Have fun making your Easter cards, you only have a few weeks to go!

I stamped the Irish Chickies stamp three times across the white cardstock. I colored them in with my copic markers. Happy St. Patricks Day stamped in Versafine Habenero.  It's a small detail but I added the solid shamrock stamped in Versamark onto the green cardstock to add a bit of luck!

I don't normally make St. Patricks Day cards, but these little chicks are pretty cute!

Easy!

Retro Sketches #53

 This card is for Retro Sketches #53

I tried my hardest to add buttons, or something round to the top, but I just couldn't make it look balanced.  Hope this card is close enough.  I am trying to use up some older patterned paper, so I can buy "new"! This is basic grey patterned paper, paired with a PTI saying and Denami  intertube chick.  

I'm thinking this card would work for a boy, pre-teen age. SUCH a hard age to make cards for, in my opinion.

Back to School Sketch & Theme Challenge

This card is for two challenges. Cas-ual Fridays Challenge: Top of the Class and Retro Sketches.

My kids started school on Monday.  It was a super smooth transition for them... so far!

For this card I used the super cute DeNami Back to School Chickie.  I added a Thank You sentiment in red.   The DeNami celery cardstock matched my patterned die cut perfectly.  I added some fun school type lines on the bottom portion of the card base.  The sketch called for some pretty ribbon, so I added some pretty 5/8 grosgrain ribbon.  Perfect little thank you for one of my kids teachers.  My daughter has a male teacher this year, which is a 1st for us.  I will have to get creative for gifts this year. 

DeNami Product Spotlight: Back To School Chickie

DeNami Product Spotlight: Back To School Chickie

Perfect time for this cute little Back to School Chickie to be showed off!  My kids 1st day of school is Monday.  We are trying to cram every little bit of fun into this last week as possible.  I sure miss them when they are gone, but it's nice to get lots of "me" time and lots of time to get crafty.
I stamped the Back to School Chickie in black ink onto white cardstock and punched him out with a scalloped circle punch.  I matted it with a red cardstock scalloped circle.  I colored in with tombow markers, added a Hooray saying to the Jumbo Paper Clip.  I figured the Jumbo Clip could hold a photo, to do list, or artwork.  The smaller paper clip is intended to be used as a bookmark or a paper clip. I added a quick bit of twine to the smaller clip.

DeNami Product Spotlight: Sending you smiles across the miles

DeNami Product Spotlight: Sending You Smiles.  What a fun sentiment!

The airplane chickie is bringing someone a special message.  "sending you smiles across the miles"  Since I live away from all of my family --- this is the perect stamp for me to use!!  I used the medium polka dot background with sea breeze ink to create polka dot paper.  I added crystal lacquer to the airplane and used twine to tie the message on with. Quick and simple! Hope everyone is enjoying your summer!!

I stamped the Fly A Kite stamp and the large chickie stamp onto white cardstock and colored them in.  Added a strip of green grass at the bottom. Decorative borders stamp set was stamped in Versafine Blue onto Sky Blue Cardstock. Looks like the chickie is enjoying flying the kite -- this card would work for any occasion. Thanks for stopping by!

DeNami FALL Bloghop

Welcome to the DeNami Fall Blog Hop. What a perfect way to start off the month!

You should be arriving from Tenia's Blog.  If not, you can start at the beginning of the hop.

DeNami has such a fun collection of Halloween, Thanksgiving, and General Fall stamps.  As usual, the hardest part for me is choosing what stamps to use.  I decided on the new Thanksgiving Chickies.   They make such a fun little fall scene.  I also love the sentiment, perfect for anytime of the year - Thankful for you. Are you shocked? Yep, I used my sewing machine.  I don't do it very often, now I remember why.  I always seem to have some sort of mishap!

Now it's time to visit SUZANNE she is the next one on the hop.

This color combo was fairly challenging for me.  I love making fall cards, so that helped a bit. I inked up about 2/3 of the polka dot background stamp and stamped on the lime cardstock.   4 little squares were a perfect match for this cute little Thanksgiving set.  Colored them real quick (had to get grey in there somehow!) added a bow... done. Perfect little card for anyone.

Soccer season has started here in Vegas.
