Special Moments with Daffodil Afternoon DSP

WOW!

This is a clean & simple card that I made last night.

I love the way it turned out!

It is bright & cheery & could be used for many different occasions.

 

The black in this DSP just pops with the splash of colors 

added to it with the flower/leaf images.

This DSP is the Daffodil Afternoon DSP that is a Sale-a-bration choice

& you can get it for FREE with a $50 product order.

 

How did I do it?

Look how I layered the words........

1.  I stamped them onto a 2" strip of Very Vanilla card stock & punch it out

using the Tailored Tag Punch.

2.  I then used Basic Black card stock & punch out 2 Tailored Tag pieces.

 

3.  NOTICE how I cut them using my scissors.

One of them I cut in half vertically.

And one of them I cut in half horizontally.

 

4.  I then layered them behind the words.

 This is what it looks like from the back side when all layered together. 

*NOTE that I did snip off a little bit of the Basic Black card stock 

from each end of the Tailored Tag Punch once I got it layered together.

This way there are even edges all the way around the layered words as shown above.

I added the DSP strip along the inside edge of the card & it shows

 from the front then when the card is shut.

Here are the supplies & measurements.

Driving By

 

Check out this CUTE card using the 'Driving By' stamp set.

This stamp set is a SAB choice that you can get for FREE with a $50 product order.

So years ago my boss (Keokuk County Attorney),

had a yellow Volkswagen bug like this!!

Thus I just couldn't resist making this VW yellow!

 

What a fun stamp set this is to use to make a male or female card.

But I especially think it would be great for a little boy too!!

Notice how I used the Splatters Embossing Folder.

Check out the CUTE Adhesive Backed Hexagons.

And the stripped DSP is from the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP pack

that is a SAB choice that you can get for FREE with a $50 product order.

 

NOTE:  If you look at the images in this 'Driving By' stamp set, 

there are presents on top of the roof of the car.

I did cut apart my stamp set, by cutting off these presents.

You'll keep the present so you can add them again if you want,

by just sticking them back onto the clear bock together.

Look at these photos........

It looks like this when I cut the presents off the top of the car.

This is what it looks like when I stamped it.

So I took my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker 

& drew a thin line to complete this omitted small line.

This is what it looks like when I add the presents back to the top of the car.

 This is what it looks like when this is stamped.

Notice that there are a couple of omitted lines.

So I did use my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to 

draw lines back where they are omitted to fix this. 

This is what it looks like with the lines I drew onto my card stock,

 using my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker.

This now is perfect & no one would ever know that I made this into a duo versatile stamp.

COOL HUH!

Rainbow of Happiness

 Check out this fun rainbow card!

 

The inspiration for this rainbow came from a card that my 

friend Sandy Carlson sent to me.

 

What is a rainbow?

A rainbow is a multicolored arc, or curved line, in the sky. 

Most rainbows form when the Sun's rays strike raindrops falling from faraway rain clouds.

 

WOW!

I love this Rainbow of Happiness Bundle.

I also love the coordinating Sunshine & Rainbows DSP

that is a SAB choice you can get for FREE with a $50 product order.

The 3 Wood kids are staying at our home right now.

Ainslee helped me make this card last night.
