Wee Bit Irish

>> Tuesday, March 5, 2024

Hi Everyone,

Inspired by Nancy's whimsical card last week, I decided to do the same, and use the Wee Bit Irish Greeting to make a card in that theme.

I began by stamping Michelle Monkey a few times in random spots on the card, leaving room to place my sentiment. I colored them up, stamped in some tiny shamrocks using the Small Shamrock Group, and added a few hats that I fussy cut from the Top Hat St. Patrick's Day Greeting stamp.

All that was left for me to do, was add the greeting and adhere the panels to a green card base!

Happy early St. Patrick's Day!

Love and Blessings

>> Tuesday, February 6, 2024

Hi Everyone,

Have you finished making your Valentine's Day cards? If not, here's a bit of hearts and flowers inspiration for you today!

I paired up the Flower Hearts (SUCH a C-U-T-E stamp!) with the sweet new Love and Blessings Valentine's Day Greeting. The image was stamped, colored and die cut, with a bit of glitter glue added to the hearts. It is a valentine after all :)

I made the background using the Candy Heart Background along with and embossed background of the same type, covering up the seam with some gems. (Boy do I have a lot of them in my stash!)

For more Valentine stamps, be sure to pop on over to the DRS Designs store!

Have a happy day,

Karin

Hello Winter

>> Tuesday, December 26, 2023

Hi Everyone,

Today's super simple card is for when you're flat out of time and need to make something quick. Which is me. All the time during the holidays!

I stamped some of the Simple Pine Trees for the background and added a couple of die cut deer. I made the new Hello Winter Greeting into a banner and attached it to the top, along with a few tiny snowflakes.

I told you it was simple.

I hope you got everything on your stamping wish list for the holidays! If not, just buy it yourself right here!

Thanks for visiting,

Karin

Berries

>> Tuesday, November 21, 2023

Hi Everyone,

While I know Thanksgiving is this week, I couldn't resist showing off a couple of the new stamps soon to be released here at DRS Designs.

I stamped and colored up the new Berries and Bow Christmas Decoration (9275F), die cutting it and turning it into a tag by punching a hole in the top and adding a ribbon. I then layered it onto an embossed holly background and added the new Small Script Merry Christmas (272E) Greeting.

To finish it off, I added some punched holly leaves and red gems as berries, and also added some glitter glue to the image berries as well. It's the holidays, there is no such thing as too much glitter this time of year!

Be sure to stop back and see all of the new holiday and winter stamps!

Happy Holidays!

Autumn Cards

>> Tuesday, November 8, 2022

Hi Everyone,

Sadly, the trees where I live are now all bare, but I'm trying to keep all the vibrant fall colors alive by using them on my cards.

Here is the fourth and final card using some background paper that I made. You can click here to see how I made it out of one 8 1/2"x 11" piece of card stock. The stamps I used are:

Filigree Pumpkin

Silhouette Branch

Splatter Background

The sentiment stamp named Season of Thanks Oval, was heat embossed using a glittery powder and colored using regular, non-alcohol based markers.

This card features the new Gather Hope Thanksgiving Greeting, that was embellished with a couple of little pumpkins to match my embossed background.

The pumpkins are from the 4 in 1 Harvest Designs.

For more fall goodness, I stamped a border of the Open Leaf and colored them up to match!

Thanks for popping in!

Trick or Treat

>> Tuesday, October 25, 2022

Hi Everyone,

Since Halloween is next week, it thought it was time for me to share something on that theme.

Whenever I host at my house, I like to send my guests home with a small treat. This time of year, my go to take home gift is pumpkin bread, but I ran short on time for elaborate packaging. I had 12 of these bags leftover from a long-ago Halloween, and they fit the mini loaves perfectly, so I dressed them up with a ribbon and tag made using the Small Trick or Treat Greeting.

I found I made one too many tags, and also had a piece of ribbon left over, so they made their way onto a Halloween card.

The background was stamped, and heat embossed using the Interlocking Star Background, and the main image was made using the Goblin stamp. I stamped them on top of each other, colored them up and added googly eyes.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Birthday

>> Tuesday, September 6, 2022

Hi Everyone,

When it comes to cardmaking, September is a heavy birthday month for me. It would be great if I planned ahead, but since my good intentions usually fail, my cards tend toward a simple design.

I stamped the Wordy Birthday Greeting in black, orange and red ink, adding some yellow sponging around the die cut. I attached the sentiment at an angle to an embossed cupcake background and added the fussy cut Birthday Party Pig.

To finish it off, I added a few punched stars for a confetti like embellishment :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Ohio Buckeye

>> Tuesday, July 19, 2022

Hi Everyone,

After moving out of state for her job, my friend has recently moved back home to the great state of Ohio. While it's not exactly down the block from me, it is much closer than Minnesota, so I made this new home card for her to celebrate the move.

The background of the card is embossed houses, which really ended up being hard to see after covering it up with a die cut Ohio, but I loved being able to stamp the Ohio Buckeye in the center. I added a little gemstone in the spot of her new hometown.
