{ Card flair and Die cut freebies }

Looks like it’s been a while since I shared a free file. Freebies are popular on this blog and I see them pinned on Pinterest and I get updates when they are downloaded from my blog. Well, I am ready to share more. I was thinking about retiring some of my old freebies as I upload the new files. Let me know what you think.

I created this card using Sentiment Bubble Flair from {A Flair For Buttons}. I am sharing it on A flair for buttons blog.

Happy birthday by Daniela Dobson

I used Mojo Monday 347 for the card. Tall & Skinny. I used Heidi Swapp cardstock that I had for a long time and found it recently. I sprayed it with Citron color shine.
I created the flower in my Silhouette Studio that I cut out. You can make the flower whatever size you want. Just make sure you select all three shapes when you make them bigger or smaller.
I colored each flower layer with Gelatos. I used the flair for the center of the flower. The flair set comes with 6 different sentiments, perfect for cards.

I used a chevron stencil and modeling paste for the base of my card.

{ A Kick Off To Summer Blog Hop }

 CardMaker Magazine and Technique Tuesday are teaming up today for a “a kick off to summer” blog hop.

Here is what I created.

Best ever by Daniela Dobson

I started by stamping two different chevron patterns on the left side of the card. I stamped the flower on The Story Die die cut and colored it with watercolor crayons. I used Faber Castell Gelatos to lightly color the background of the die cut. I used 3D White Foam Sticky Strips to add dimension to the story card die. The sentiment is stamped on patterned paper die cut with Label die. I layered two different patterns and stapled them together.

{ Reverse Confetti May Color Challenge }

Hi and welcome to our May Color Challenge – orange, light pink, and dark pink.

Here is my card.

Thanks a bunch by Daniela Dobson

I started by using my stencil and adding modeling paste. Once that was dry I colored the background with watercolor.
I stamped a strip of paper with diagonal stripes from So Stripey using light pink. The flower from Petals ‘n Posies was stamped using dark ink. I added some orange pearls and an orange enamel dot to the flower. The sentiment is from Petals ‘n Posies set, as well.

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge – Inspired by a Song }

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – Inspired by a song!

Our challenge starts today, May 15, and continues to the following Wednesday evening, May 21, at 10 PM.

Create a new project using  Impression Obsession stamps and post it on Impression Obsession Blog, between May 15-21. A winner will be chosen randomly to win a $25 gift certificate to the Impression Obsession store.

Here is my card.

I love you by Daniela Dobson

Not sure how much I was inspired by a song, instead I was inspired by Love Songs 1 stamp set. There is another set called Love Songs 2. First time using this Love Songs 1 stamp set. I paired it with my loved Wood Grain stamp and Tapestry Tag. Clearly, I need to use them more often. I rearranged my stamps recently and found some that I forgot about and placed them in a basket on my work table. The Clearsnap ColorBox Guava ink was a bit too bright so I mixed it with Bubblegum.
I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock and adhered it to to card using 3D foam strips from Therm O Web.
I used Retrosketch #114 for this card. 

I love you close by Daniela Dobson

That is all from me. Make sure you check out what the rest of our DT created.

I hope you play along.

{ May Studio AE Blog Hop from Technique Tuesday }

Welcome to our May 2014 Blog Hop. Today we are featuring projects made with Today Circles - Studio AE - May 2014.

Here is my layout.

Best memory by Daniela Dobson

These circle stamps are a perfect match for our Circles - DIY Steel Dies. I stamped them on white cardstock and then die cut the circles. In addition to the large circles, there are these tiny words that I used to add throughout the layout. I even used them as words in my journaling. I am using lots of new supplies that I received recently from Emma’s Paperie: American Crafts, Studio Calico and My Mind’s Eye.

***We are going to give away one $25 gift certificate after the hop. To be eligible to win, all you need to do is comment during the hop! The lucky winner will be announced on the 15th on the Technique Tuesday blog.***
