My Craft Spot sponsoring a cool giveway here!

 

Hi All, I am so excited to have one of my favorite stamp company's My Craft Spot, sponsor a giveaway here on my blog.  Not only that, but I am the Guest Designer on their blog today too, how cool is that!  All you have to do for a chance to win a free stamp set of your own is check out all the gorgeous stamp sets over at My Craft Spot, then leave me a comment and tell me which stamp set you like best (a difficult decision, I know) and you may be chosen as the winner on Monday!  I got really carried away with this set so I will be posting more cards this weekend for more chances to win!  (Contest open to US residents only).

On to the card I made using one of the 11 awesome stamps that came in the Birthday Wishes clear stamp set.  I really love how these stamps are perfect for mixing with my digital hybrid printing, they take to ink really well too, I used Memento tuxedo black ink, I love the clean crisp look.   I printed the background paper from Gecko Galz ATC Papers In Dreams along with the image from the Ever After set on to Staples photo paper.  Those life like flowers were printed from the Optic Illusions Measure of Time set.   I added a little bling with some Waterfall Stickles and printed my envelope liner in the matching paper.  I used my Perfect Paper Crafting Mini Rulers to set the Night of Navy trim and to space out the area to trim around my stamp too.

Be sure to stop by My Craft Spot and see all the gorgeous designs done by the talented Design Team over there, be sure to check out all the items they have like the sweet metal dies that match up with the stamps and the awesome deals on twine too.  That's it for today, please stop by tomorrow for another card and another chance to win!  Thanks for stopping by and best wishes in the draw!  ~Diane

Time is on our side.

Hi All, I am sharing a card I made for the Gecko Galz DT using some of the amazing items from our partner this month Optic Illusions.   We want to show you how easy it is to blend other products with the beautiful Gecko Galz products.  This month the theme was Time, using Optic Illusions Measure of time set.  There were so many wonderful papers and pieces to this set I had a hard time choosing what one to use first, so you will be seeing a lot more of this set!

Here are my directions for this 5 x 7 card.   I used the clock charm and rusted bird cage from Optic Illusions along with the Gecko Galz image from June Dreams and the paper liner printed from the Carnival paper pack.  I printed the image on to Staples matte photo paper then added some Stampin Up crystal effects to the watch charm. I mounted this on to a piece of black card stock then on to my white card base.  The envelope liner was printed on copy paper, trimmed and placed inside the envelope. 

Well, that's it, thanks for stopping by.  ~Diane
