Featured Sunday Stamper

Welcome!

It's week 2 of our new Featured Sunday Stamper and we went a long way to find our winner!

Birgit E. from Sweden! Yeah!!!

Birgit is known as "Biggan" on Splitcoast Stampers" and I highly recommend you take the time to visit her gallery there - She is one VERY talented lady

We sent her our Bird on a Branch Stamp and our Triple Tree with Snow stamp and these are the cards she sent us -


Birgit sent me these instructions ~

I used my new lovely stamps from DRS design for these cards! On the first card I sponged the background with blue Distress Inks and then stamped Triple Tree with Snow (004L) twice with green Distress Ink. Colored the Bird on Branch ( 328K) with Promarkers and cut it out. Added some Glossy Accent to make it shine a bit and placed it on 3D foam. The Bullfinche are a common bird on Christmas card here in Sweden so I gave him a red breast. Love the Address Label Frame-Trees (106H) for the envelope !!

The other card is very clean and simple with a cut out Bird on Branch ( 328K) with Glossy Accent and some half pearls as berries!

Thanks for stopping by, and feel free to nominate any exceptional stamper in your world to invite@drsdesigns.com and maybe they'll become a Featured Sunday Stamper too!

Our First Sunday Stamper!

Welcome to our first "Featured Sunday Stamper" post!

We recently started a new kind of contest - a backwards one really. You can get all the information on our "By Invitation Only" contest by clicking here.

One of the things we noticed right off the bat (we've actually noticed for years) is that every now and again we see a card that just about takes our breath away - I've actually been speechless a time or two! Sometimes everything just clicks and you end up with a card or project that's totally awesome. We'd like to take a few Sundays and give the designers of these cards a little extra applause.

So, to get on with it...

Our First Featured Sunday Stamper is...

Pam S. from Westminster, Co (aka Bailmac on SCS)

and here's the card that she sent in ~



Here's how Pam says she made her card:
"I inked up the pine bough (467K) with always artichoke and early expresso, the Stepping Back In Time Greeting (674H) was inked in noir black and clear embossed. I added the snow background (187H) with craft white and embossed with iridescent ice embossing powder and unfortunately, the sparkle of the snowflakes doesn't photograph well. Next, I brayered with soft sky from left top corner to bottom right corner and then brayered not quite navy in the same fashion. I sponged cherry cobbler around the edges. Papers used; cherry cobbler, white, always artichoke and black. Main image put up on dimensionals and Basic Grey square rhinestones used. A black satin ribbon tab added as well."

What's the best news in all of this?? I'm very excited to say that Pam has become our newest Design Team Member!! Hot Diggity! We are very fortunate to have a wonderful, awesome and extremely talented group of ladies designing for us and Pam is going to fit right in.

Please stop by tomorrow for her first blog post - I can't wait to see what she has in store for us!

I'm also hoping you stop by next Sunday (and every day in between, of course:) for another "Feature Sunday Stamper"
