Fantastic Birthday!

>> Tuesday, May 31, 2011

Hi Everyone!

I have lots of info for you today, so I will bypass the chit chat and get right down to it :)  This week DRS Designs is the sponsor at the Card Patterns blog.  If you would like a chance at winning $20.00 off your next order, just link up your card at the Card Patterns blog using the sketch below.


Need some inspiration?  Well, here is my take on it.


The Birthday Sheet Music background and the Paws-itivley Birthday sentiment are from the newly released stamps.  I went with a monochromatic color scheme and completed it using my favorite Polka Dot background stamp and the darling Small Cat Print which matched the sentiment.

The next exciting bit of news, is the Stamp A Day Giveaway begins tomorrow! 


 How does it work?  Just leave a comment here at the DRS Designs blog.  Then come back tomorrow and see if you were the randomly selected winner!  What stamp will you receive as a prize?  Well, that too will be revealed the following day!  So come back tomorrow to see the fabulous card Cathy made using the prize stamp.  Then you want to do the same thing each day.  Leave a comment and come back the next day to see the prize in use, as well as the winners name! The winner will then have 7 days to claim their prize by sending an email with their name and address to DRS Designs.  So. Much. Fun! 

What are you waiting for?  Leave a comment and then get stamping for your chance to win!  Have fun and Good Luck!

Diggity Dog Birthday!

>> Monday, May 30, 2011

Hi Everyone! Hope you're all having a great holiday weekend!

Today it's Jennifer here and I have a fun birthday card to share with you today, especially for any dog lover! I've paired up the recently released Hot Diggity Dog Birthday Greeting (732E) with the Doggie Dilemma Stamp (254H) for this card.


I colored the Doggie Dilemma and the cardstock that I stamped the sentiment on with Copic Markers.  This was simple embellished with a decorative border punch, petite copper brads, and brown ribbon tied in a knot. 

I went over his eyes and nose with a Glaze pen to make them look shiny and wet.  Looks realistic doesn't it?

Hope you like this Dog Birthday card!

Thanks for stopping by to see it, I appreciate your visit!

Smiles,
Jennifer

Thinking of You Daisy

>> Sunday, May 29, 2011

Welcome!

Unfortunately I was in need of a sympathy card this week, but I ended up very pleased with not only how this card came out, but how fast it all came together.

My original idea was to use the darker mauve as my folded card and as I was cutting the paper down I ended up with a strip slightly larger than 1" and it all just fell into place from there.



After stamping our Medium Daisy with black dye ink, I "colored" them using a white gel pen.



After adhering the strip to my card I stamped our Vertical Thinking of You using black ink and then added lavender pearl paint to the center of the flowers (the pearl paint eventually got a little smashed, but I kinda like it :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a wonderful Memorial Day!

For the Graduate

>> Saturday, May 28, 2011

Happy day!
I don't even have a graduate.  However, I know WAY too many this year!  On my little street alone, we have 7 graduates!  I had fun doing this card as I didn't do my usual school colors, but used the sentiment to help me create a nice scene. DRS Designs has some delightful new stamps and I used our great new Bright Graduation Greeting on vanilla paper and sponged sahara sand on it to match the sand on the main image.  The main image-sea grass was stamped in noir black and then I used post-it notes to mask for the sun, water and sand.  Onto the sky I sponged lovely lilac, pink and bayou blue.  The sun was done in more mustard.  The water is night of navy and then I lightly sponged around the edges with black.  Lastly, I added some glitter pen high-lights to the grass.  Papers used:  soft suede, peri blue, apricot appeal, black, vanilla.

Come check out the new designs.  There is something for everyone!

I hope everyone enjoys the  holiday weekend and stay safe!

Peace, Man!

by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

Happy Far Out Friday!

Ok, does the title make you feel like you're watching a Sonny & Cher rerun or a Cheech & Chong movie? Maybe it's just me. This card totally takes me back to the end of the sixties/early seventies. This chartreuse color is still one my dad's favorites. And he loved the sixties! He was the first one in our neighborhood to sport those white bell bottom pants. You know, those polyester ugly pants you wouldn't be caught dead wearing now...even on the golf course! As kids, my siblings and I were too young to buy our own clothes and no way could we talk mom into cool stuff, but she couldn't stop Pop from dressing like a rock star or buying a Mustang convertible, lol! So he really does stand out in a crowd. Even now!

This is a pretty easy card; I let all the peace signs do the talking. They're all stamped in a citrine pigment ink. The big kahuna was stamped and embossed on top of a scribbled marker background then die cut w/ lg circle die. The pink behind it was die cut w/ a lacy circle.

For the long inset, I used a long rectangle die to cut out a section of my background, attached it to a scallop pink rectangle and put it back on top of the opening. I added a few cut out flowers and used my SAMJ to split the sentiment into 2 lines. I used a hot pink marker to color in a few of the letters. Finished card measures 5.5 x 4.25.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great Memorial Day weekend!






Supplies:
stamps: Jumbo Peace Sign, Double Peace Sign, Small Fun Flowers, Stand Out in a Crowd
paper: white, hot pink
ink: Colorbox citrine pigment, VersaFine onyx
accessories: markers, clear embossing powder, Spellbinder circles, lacy circles, long rectangles and scallop long rectangle dies, SAMJ (stamp-a-ma-jig)

Hot Diggity!

>> Wednesday, May 25, 2011

Have you checked out the latest release of images by DRS Designs? Check them all out here. I have a fun one for you today...a birthday card for young and old!

Check out Frisky Florence on my card below...she is ready to party!!!



I used one of the new birthday sentiments that was recently released...I chose to "alter" the sentiment a bit. I left off "dog" by simply cutting my stamp with a straight cut so that the parts will fit together again. This way I can stamp the image in its entirety or simply remove the word dog so that the image becomes more versatile for me. Florence was fun to color. I added a Prima flower and brad to her hat and I gave her a pearl earring. It's hard to see in my photo but I stamped the gift background in dazzle versamark ink on my olive panel.

Thanks for checking in...
See you soon...

Happy Birthday

>> Tuesday, May 24, 2011

Good Morning Everyone,

How is your week going so far?  Last week my hubby was on vacation, so I was totally out of my routine.  Today I'm struggling to get caught up.  The problem with a stay-cation is... There is no maid service!  lol.  I am happy though to show you my card that I made using two of the newly released stamps here at DRS Designs.

It's a clean and simple design using the Giant Open Balloon stamp.  It's fairly large, so it just called out for me to paper piece it.  I stamped it on card stock in primary colors and cut each one out.  I did cut off the string portion of the stamp and added a piece of twine, so that I would have a real string for each balloon.  Then I attached them with pop dots for some dimension.

I stamped the new Brush Birthday Greeting in the corner (Don't you just LOVE that font??!) and added three gemstones for a bit of bling and embellishment.


Are you getting excited about our Stamp A Day Giveaway?!  It starts next week and all the details can be found right here.

And stop by the new releases page and see all the latest stamps, here at DRS Designs. 

Even if it's not your birthday today, hope your day is a happy one!

Education!

Posted by Jennifer E.

Happy Monday!
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. 

Can you believe that May is almost over? With that in mind, I know plenty of kids who can relate to DRS Designs Nothing and Everything sentiment (683G) as the school year comes to an end.  Do you?  I've used it here to create this card along with the new Teacher Tools image (792G) from their recent release.


I colored the image with Copic Markers and then stamped the sentiment directly below it on the same piece of white cardstock.  I cut it out with a fancy die and adhered it to a yellow card front that was punched with a corner rounder on all 4 corners.   

I kept this card simple by only using a few brads, red ribbon and a touch of red Stickles on the apple for embellishments.  Don't forget your Teacher Thank you cards this year...this Teacher Tools image would be perfect for them!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Smiles,
Jennifer

It's "purr"fect!

>> Sunday, May 22, 2011

Welcome!

Do you ever feel like you're in a card making rut? I did this week and to turn things around I did a very long, tall, skinny card! Living on the edge aren't I??

The first thing I did was cut apart our new "Purr"fect Birthday Greeting into the 4 separate lines and line them up, 2 at a time on my longest piece of acrylic. I'm pleased to say this was my 2nd attempt to get them all straight and I said "close enough!" I also sponged on a little purple ink along the edges.

Next I stamped our Happy Sitting Cat 4 times on four separate pieces of paper and cut each one into a square that's slightly larger than 1 1/2". After coloring, I sponged pink ink around the edges and then layered them on black cs and attached them to my card.

For my ribbon I used a doubled over piece of 1/8" black ribbon. I pulled the two cut sides through the loop at the top and then folded it over and crimped it all together using a brad that I had previously embossed using cotton candy ep.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Save the drama for your mama!

>> Saturday, May 21, 2011

Good day all!  My card today used our new sentiment at DRS Designs Save the Drama for your Mama!  Also, I used our fun flip flops
My ink colors:  daffodil delight, orchid opulence, pixie pink, antique linen sponged for sand. 
Papers:  white, pixie pink, lovely lilac, black
Accessories:  primas, liquid pearls, label punch, dimensionals, twine

This sentiment reminds me of my girls....16 and 20 years of age.  I wish they'd save the drama for someone else!

Basket of Daisies

by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

( you can always click to enlarge photos)

Happy Friday!

This is the post you should have seen last week, but Blogger apparently had other plans for everyone. Oh well! I hope you've had a terrific week! We've been having some work done on our house so there's been lots of banging and sawing and hammering going on every day. I have kind of gotten used to it but my parrots are nervous wrecks. Every little noise and they think they're under attack. I can't imagine anyone coming after a parrot w/ a hammer and nails. It would be a lot like trying to nail jello to the wall, lol. But I'm sure in their little parrot heads they're imagining all kinds of terrible fates.
My first inclination, was color all the flowers and basket. But I had the gold embossing powder sitting out and thought, hmmm. The flowers reminded me of a flower bed full of daisies we had in the house I grew up in. Loved them! So after stamping the image twice and gold embossing, I used a little bleach on the second batch of daisies, cut some out and attached them on the base image. They just give a little dimension and subtle difference in color. The gold paper behind them was cut w/ a lg blossom die. On the background, I gold embossed the dots on top and the medium daisy bloom on the bottom. I used a lt sand marker to add just a hint of color. Finished card measures 4.25 x 5.5. Gold embossing just adds elegance to any image, don't you think?
Thanks so much for stopping by!






Supplies:
stamps: Daisy Basket, Med Daisy Bloom, Polka Dot Background, Just Because
paper: ivory, brushed gold
ink: Encore Ultimate Metallic gold pigment
accessories: detail gold embossing powder, lt sand marker, Krylon gold leaf pen, bleach & acrylic paintbrush, Spellbinders blossom, ribbon tag and circle dies, Quickutz scallop border die

Enjoy Today

>> Tuesday, May 17, 2011

Hi Everyone,

It's Karin posting today and I used one of my favorite color combos (red, yellow, orange) for today's sunny card.

I was playing around with the Polka Dot Background stamp and chose to make these rosettes.  I cut 2 1"x11" stripes of paper in each color and stamped them with polka dots.  I then scored them in 1/2" increments, glued them together, and embellished them with a white button.  The background was stamped in Versamark and embossed with clear powder. The Enjoy Today sentiment was stamped and layered in matching colors to echo the three rosettes.  The finished card measures 5 1/2"x5 1/2".

Here is a closer look at all those polka dots...


Just click here to see all the newest stamps and I hope you remember to enjoy the day.  Oh, and one last thing! DRS Designs is the sponsor this week at 365 Cards blog.  I hope you can stop by the blog and play along with the challenge of the day for your chance at winning $15.00 off your next purchase at DRS Designs!

Fishing Funny!

>> Monday, May 16, 2011

Posted by Jennifer E.

DRS Designs has just come out with some great new stamps, have you seen THEM?


The card I have to show you today was made using the new Proud Catch Fisherman (765K) stamp. This image was a lot of fun to color with Copic Markers. Then, by using the masking technique I was able to sponge ink around him to create a scene. It's amazing how much a little color will make an image like this come alive! Next, I created the card front and used a decorative border punch at the top and bottom of the beige cardstock. I added the funny Jerk Fishing Greeting (276G) which really gave this card some character!

If you really like this image, make sure to see his friends, Frisky Florence (771K) and Rascally Russell (777M) from this release as well. You're sure to love them! Stay tuned right here to the DRS Designs Blog for more cards made with this release in the next few days.

Thanks for stopping by. We appreciate your visit!

Have a wonderful Monday!

Smiles,

She's Stylin'

>> Sunday, May 15, 2011

Welcome!

Have you checked out our New Releases yet? Simply pop on over to our web site to see our 14 new images! It was a real decision which ones to use first, but in the end this was my favorite card!

My card today took a little planning, but I think it was well worth it! I cut out a 1 1/2" square out of the red cs and a 1 1/4" square out of the purple. I attached the purple to the back of the front of my card. I stamped only the top line of our new Drama for Mama saying under the square using black ink. For the flowers I used our Interlocking Flower Background stamp.

Outside:

It's a relative plain card till you open it up! I stamped our new Frisky Florence on white card stock, and after coloring I trimmed her so only her head showed through my front window.

Inside:

Last but not least I added the bottom line of the Drama for Mama saying again using black ink!

Have a great weekend!

I love you daisy!

>> Saturday, May 14, 2011

Good Saturday morning!
I have to say that I am stuck on this fun, medium daisy bloom here at DRS. I also used the background branch and I love you greeting. I used pearlescent watercolors on leaves and daisy. Paper pieced the daisy and some of the leaves. Next, I stamped the three butterflies, painted with the pearlescent watercolors, cut out and popped up. Stamped the sentiment and punched out with modern label punch, used some lace and a cute daisy charm (which was difficult to photograph). Lastly, the green layer is embossed with leaf folder that looks very similar to the stamped image. Thanks for taking a peek today!

Bee Well

>> Thursday, May 12, 2011

Lately, I need a lot of "Get Well" cards.
It seems a lot of my friends are having surgery!
I stamped this card with the new one line "Bee Well" sentiment (756B) from DRS Designs.
I added the Bitsy Bumble Bee (1020A) and colored it with copics and added some Ranger stickles to its wings.
Black border was done with a Martha Stewart punch.
I also used the Easy Dot Background (628H) stamp on white cs.
I added some black/white gingham ribbon and some black pearls for accent!

Thinking of You...

>> Wednesday, May 11, 2011

Happy Belated Mother's Day to all the moms out there!!! The card I have for you today is another quick and easy one and a great one to keep a bunch on hand. You never know when you will want to send a "just because" card.

Here is today's card...images by DRS Designs...



I used two new sentiments by DRS Designs, thinking of you and medium daisy.

I stamped the daisy in gray just on the corner of the card. The flowers are by Making Memories and Prima. The sentiment is raised on pop dots. I added some twine to the button flower centers...the blue twine was tied in a bow.

Have a great day!
Thanks for checking in...
See you soon...

Thank You

>> Tuesday, May 10, 2011

Hi Everyone,

This was a simple thank you card that I made a couple of weeks ago, so I thought I would share it with you today on the DRS Designs blog. 

I embossed the card base, and then simply stamped a panel with the new Three Butterflies stamp and colored them in with my go to choice of Copic markers.  I used a couple of shades of pink and then outlined the large butterflies with a light gray.  I went with a bold black border to make them pop even more.  The Thank You sentiment is actually from the larger stamp Thank You for Your Support.  I just used the beginning portion, obviously ;)


I chalked the border of the sentiment and finished it off with a couple of bits of bling. 

Thanks for visiting and remember, you can see all of the new releases here.

First Holy Communion

>> Monday, May 9, 2011

Hello, and welcome back to the DRS Designs Blog!
I hope all you Mothers out there had a wonderful Mother's Day!

It's Jennifer here posting today to share with you a Communion card I made for my Godson.   He made his First Holy Communion this past Saturday and I was so glad to see that DRS Designs had the perfect stamps so I could make him a card.  I'd much rather make the cards I give away then buy them.  It's a lot more fun that way too!

The first step I did in making this card was heat emboss the Praying Boy Silhouette (899F) with black embossing powder on light blue cardstock.  I matted it with a white cardstock scalloped oval to use as the focal point on my card front.  I stamped the First Holy Communion Greeting (913G) with black ink on white cardstock and inked the edges around it with light blue ink.  I created the card front from black cardstock that I dry embossed to add a little texture to my card.  I assembled the stamped pieces as shown and used the notched corner punch on all 4 corners.  I added a light blue ribbon and 3 light blue brads as embellishments and then threaded metallic silver string through the notched corners. The entire card front was then adhered to an A2 sized light blue cardstock base.  

I decorated the inside similar to the card front.  On white cardstock I used the notched corner punch on all 4 corners, inked the edges with light blue and I also added a strip of light blue ribbon near the bottom.  I stamped the Communion Greeting (401F) for the inside message.  
  
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
Smiles,

Happy Mother's Day!

>> Sunday, May 8, 2011

Welcome!

We here at DRS want to wish all of the Moms viewing a Happy Mother's Day!! Relax, Enjoy and take some time for yourself today! And if you're not a Mom, we'd like to say Happy Day! Relax, Enjoy and take some time for yourself today!

My card today is for the newest Mama I know ~ Many people in our wonderful stamping world know about Marco's Papers (if you don't, you might want to check them out!). Well recently, Marco's have a new helper to train the stamping way! Bryden Michael Ihle, was born Thursday, April 28!

This is the card I made to send to my friends Karen and David at Marco's celebrating the birth of their 2nd grandchild!

Now, onto my card - I will say, I love how the ribbon border came out, but I'm gonna have to love someone an awful lot to do it again!

At this point I'd like to give my sister and co-worker Samantha a few kudo's! A month ago or so she sent everyone on the Design Team a 'centering ruler'. If you haven't heard of one before, let me tell you how easy it is to not only use, but to mark of even sections. After laying mine on my card I quickly made sure the same number was on the left and right and then used my pencil to make tiny marks to punch out using a 1/16" hole punch. It was the threading of the ribbon that took me FOREVER! And of course it was AFTER I threaded the ribbon I decided I wanted to add the green sponging ( I really recommend doing it first :) To finish up I punched out the giga scallop oval and sponged it too, then stamped, colored and cut out my Jenny Giraffe stamp and added his bow. I stamped part of our Baby Greeting using turquoise ink and taped it all together!

Thanks again for spending part of your day with us!

Bee Well!

>> Saturday, May 7, 2011

It's gonna be a bright, bright, sun shiny day!!!!!  Colorado weather is awesome!  We are so lucky.  To celebrate the wonderful weather and getting to plant this weekend, I decided to go bold!  I used DRS Designs new releases:  polka dot background, medium daisy bloom, the happy bee and the Bee Well sentiment.
First, I stamped the daisies on vanilla card stock.  I cut two out and paper pieced them a bit off kilter.  Colored with only orange and pink pirouette.  Yellow chunky glitter used for flower centers.  The polka dot background was stamped in noir black as was the sentiment.
Papers:  vanilla, pink pirouette, bright orange, black.
I hope all the mom's out in blogland have a terrific mother's day!

Take care,

Pam

Bee Well (aka I Must Be Sick!)

>> Friday, May 6, 2011

by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

Happy Friday!
Ever have one of those days? You know, where you have an idea and you start something like ...I don't know...this card, maybe? Everything is going good... for about 10 minutes. Then this little dude named Murphy stomps all over your project w/ his "if anything can go wrong... blah blah blah."

The card is finished, but it took me longer to fix the things that went wrong than it would have taken to start over. Geez, Louise, I must be sick! Anyway, I stamped the new Bee Well sentiment (more than once, lol) and went over it w/ a black glaze pen. I probably should have just embossed it and saved myself the mess when the first one was ruined because the glaze pen leaked like a sieve. I guess it's a good thing c/s has a reverse side. Most everything you see is a reverse side, lol.

I stamped the Polka Dot Bg in yellow on white. Well, I did this twice, too. Note to self, do the yellow first and then do the black dots on white. Or else really clean the black ink before using the yellow ink. Back side again. These were die cut w/ mega oval dies. Had to redo the embossed die several times, too. The die kept slipping and...nevermind; it wasn't pretty.
The daisy border is a punch I did one in yellow and twice in black. The black was spread apart to make a frame for the yellow. Another note to self: double sided tape is not a good thing when it shows thru the openings in the flowers. Duh! So I had to dust it w/ my static bag to remove the sticky then use a black marker to color in where the tape showed. Except that I accidentally used a black glitter marker the first time. The final mistake was on the inside. I like to add a border or coordinating image to the inside of my cards. As I was stamping the polka dots down the side, I dropped the stamp on the top. So I had to cut out some flowers and bees to cover it up. The finished card measures 5.5 x 4.25 and is a virtual Where's Waldo of mistakes hiding in the midst.

Thanks so much for stopping by and if you read all of this, you may be as persistent as I am, lol!





Supplies:
stamps: Bee Well, Polka Dot Background, Bitsy Bumblebee, Happy Bee
paper: white, black, yellow
ink: Ancient Page coal, Yo Yo Yellow
accessories: stickles, Daisy chain border punch, Spellbinders mega ovals, hole punches (for the flower centers), markers

Hi Everyone,

Today I'm showing off my all occasion card jam packed with stampy goodness from the latest release here at DRS Designs.

I started off with the Woven Plaid stamp, using pink and green ink on white cardstock for the top portion of my background, and then used the Polka Dot stamp for the bottom part.  The new Butterfly Oval, which I cut out using Oval Nestabilities and colored with my Copic markers was the perfect size to hold the sentiment Enjoy Today.


The butterfly border punch matched the stamped butterflies in the circle and the ribbon I've had in my stash forever.  The same with the flower embellishments...I love it when things work out and color coordinate.

If the weather hasn't been spring like where you live, I hope this card brightens your day and be sure to check out all the new releases right here.

CAS Thinking Of You!

>> Monday, May 2, 2011

Hi Friends!
Jennifer here again to share with you a simple Thinking of you card I made using 2 stamps from DRS Designs latest release.


I used just a small portion of the Medium Daisy Bloom (668H) three times, cut in different spots with a Nestability die. I colored them with Copic Markers and matted them on an orange cardstock rectangle. I created the card front by distressing the edges of the white cardstock panel and matting it with peach-colored cardstock. I arranged the 3 bloom squares vertically on the left side of the card front and then stamped the Vertical "Thinking of You" (690D) on the right side of the card front. After adding some brads and some twine threaded buttons to the flowers, I attached the card front to an A2 sized orange cardstock base. Such a bright and cheery Thinking of You card perfect for Spring and Summer, don't you agree?  Hope you enjoyed it!
Thanks for stopping by!

Smiles,
Jennifer

Welcome!

A clean and simple welcome is sometimes all it takes!


It's very hard to pick up in the picture, but my ivory layer not only has some little flecks of color, it also has a wonderful grain-y texture! I stamped our new Background Branch using Vivid Vintage Green ink on the right side of my card, then inked just the stem part to do the left side. I stamped the One Line Welcome on a scrap using Vivid Taupe ink and layered it with black cs and kraft cs. I mounted the whole think on a folded hunter green card.

Thanks for stopping by!
