DeNami Floral Happy Birthday

I love flowers, especially flower stamps. I don't think I will ever own "too many" stamps - but I'm close to having a few hundred floral ones!

Solid Petals Cling Set is only $7 and that is what I used to make the large purple flowers and green leaves.  I added the solid leaf sprig in blue around the flower and leaf images.  Buttons were added to the center of each flower, some twine at the top and the happy birthday sentiment

DeNami Blog Hop: Summer Splash!

Welcome to the July DeNami Blog Hop Summer Splash!

You should be arriving from Tenia's Blog. If not, feel free to start at the beginning. 

Summer --- FLIP FLOPS!! 

I just had to use these little cuties and thought this new stamp would make a pretty background for them.  I stamped it in deep lagoon onto PTI aqua mist cardstock.  The flip flops were stamped in the same color onto white cardstock. I colored them in with copics, added some polka dots and rhinestones.  Layered onto a square cardstock base - measures 5 1/2 x 5 1/2,

DeNami ELEGANT Sneak Peek

It's an exciting time! Sneak Peek Time at DeNami! 

Hopefully you are following along with all of the fun at the DeNami Blog.

My 1st card showcases the gorgeous peacock feathers! Aren't they stunning? I stamped them using a black memento ink and colored with copics. I went back over them with a quickie glue pen and some extra fine glitter to give them some shine.  Thank you stamped in black onto a white cardstock strip.  I tried to make a perfect line with my marker, it was a near fail, but I'm going with it anyway.

The next two Christmas cards actually use the exact same stamp, I just used it differently to show how versatile it is.  The most common way is to stamp the entire image onto white cardstock like I did below.  The above card just uses the floral image and I left off the sentiment.  I was able to mask a different Merry Christmas stamp and stamped it in red onto the white cardstock.  Added some twine and rhinestones.  

How pretty are the new solid leaf images? They are BIG CLING images and stamp out so beautifully.  I chose to stamp them in fall colors and added a thinking of you sentiment. This could easily be used as a Thanksgiving or fall card if you choose.  The sentiment fits perfectly into the new Elegant Word Plate -- another one of my favorites!

I know, I always say that I love the new stamps, but I REALLY do love the new DeNami stamps this season.  Anyone have a favorite?  They are all so pretty and what a versatile and unique collection! Chickies, leaves, Christmas, Elegant, florals!!

Product Spotlight: Tropical Drinks Set

This sweet little set has been around for a few years, but I still love it!

I seem to use the Hello Friend sentiment quite often.  It just works for about any occasion!  I stamped the sentiment using Cherry Pink Impress Ink and then used a fine tip black pen to add a frame around the drinks.   Can you see the shine on the drinks?  It's Crystal Lacquer.  I ran the hot pink cardstock through the big shot with a swirl embossing folder to give it some texture.

Craft Dash Challenge #20

I can't believe Paulina is hosting her 20th Craft Dash!

Colors: Hot Pink, Tangerine, Gray

I completed this card is 8 minutes and 38 seconds. 

I spent half of that time messing around with adhering the sequins. 

 Next time I will use crystal lacquer to attach them!

I stamped the chevron border at an angle using grey ink.  I stamped the medium solid and small solid hibiscus flowers onto white cardstock and cut around them quickly.  I used foam tape to pop them onto the card quick.  I stamped the sending you sunshine sentiment using grey.  This is my 1st time using sequins.  I've seen Paulina do some amazing things with them!  I'm hoping I will get the hang of it soon.

Sequins purchased from Avery Elle using my gift certificate I won previously - thanks to the Craft Dash & Paulina!

Challenge runs from Wednesday, June 19- June 29th.

Prize: $20 DeNami gift certificate 

DeNami Product Spotlight: Starry Burst

Product Spotlight: Starry Burst

This stamp is 10% off - one week only!

When I see stars, I automatically think patriotic colors.  I wanted to change it up a bit and made shiny sparkly starry bursts.   I used silver ink with a kaleidoscope embossing powder.  It really picks up different colors as you turn the card from side to side.  I added the Congratulations sentiment onto lavender and stapled it on.  I added a big bow at the top using iridescent edged ribbon.

DeNami Patterned Paper Blog Hop

Hopefully you just hopped here from my friend Amy's Blog.  If not, you will want to start at the beginning of the hop so you don't miss anyone!

I totally over thought this month's theme - patterned paper.  I wanted to do something original, but I honestly just couldn't come up with anything! YIKES!

 I used it in the traditional way as a background to the fun DeNami Hoppy Birthday Frogs.  I layered different strips of patterned paper onto my cardstock front.  I added a few DeNami buttons and twine.
