My card is an A2 card, I stamped and die cut the birds and florals from the Hummingbird stamp set.  The set only comes with one Hummingbird and I wanted the bird on the left facing the bird from the set.  I decided to do the technique, reverse stamping. There are lots of YouTube videos on this technique if you don't know how to do it.  I colored the birds and the flowers with alcohol markers.  I die cut the black layer from the Frames and Tags die set.  I then die cut the top layer from the Basic Frame die set.  I masked off the edges on the top layer and created clouds in the background from the Cloud Stencil and ink blended some green at the bottom for grass.

Wednesday, February 14, 2024

Happy Valentine's Day!

I am here with Newton's Nook Designs featuring Porch Swing Friends Stamp Set with the coordinating dies. This set is perfect to send to your special friend that loves dogs and cats.  I love how the dog and cat are relaxing together on the porch.  

Here is my card for your inspiration:

D Idlet, Love & Meows Paper pad, Porch Swing Friends Stamp Set, Newton's Nook Designs, friendship card,

My card is an A2 card, the background paper is from Newton's Nook Designs Love & Meows Paper Pad. I create my card by stamping the image of the dog and cat snugged on the swing from the Porch Swing Friends Stamp Set. I colored the image with alcohol markers. I die cut the image with the Porch Swing Friends die set. I then die cut a piece of white cardstock using the Framework Die Set, ink blended the background with some light blue ink from my stash.  I stamped the sentiment from the Porch Swing Friends Stamp Set and added the image from the Porch Swing Friends Stamp Set.  To finish off the card, I added some enamel hearts from my stash.  

Thank you so much for stopping by, to see lots of inspiration using Newton's Nook Designs stamps and dies, please visit their blog.
