Tile my world!

Here is a card sample made using a DP Artwork rubber stamp. The name of the stamp is Tile duo (EL 34 G). One side of the stamp has 1 big tile ( featured on the black background). The second side is the same tile smaller and with 4 to make one side. I love this stamp and this sample! This was made by our friend of friend Vicki (she's got skills!) Thank you Vicki for this sample!

Fast horse

 

What a great sample from Vicki B. She used two of our (DP Artworks) stamps. The two stamps are; Full run (AW 20 F) and Fast horse (QP 14 E). It is a really great looking sample!

Catch and release

The name of this stamp is Catch and release. I added color using both Primsacolor pens and watercolor pencils. Glitter was added for highlights. The ribbon is a jute ribbon. I really like this image. It was one of our first images (in our very first catalog).

Where does time go?

Soooooooo.....Where does time go? Well, just ask these clever ravens. All of the images are DP Artworks stamps. These are from our new stamps.

In the park

I love this new image; we called it In the park. This is an oversize card like the previous cards have been. I used prismacolor markers. The prismacolor markers are like Copic markers. They give a nice translucent color that can be layered to add shading. I think I will ask for these for Christmas and build up my collection.

Ohio gold

Alrighty, the stamp I used for this sample is called Ohio gold. This stamp was made from a photo that I took in Toledo, Ohio. My sister and I went to a farmers market one fall day. It was a lot of fun. I was able to get some awesome photos that I have since used in art work.

Fish is fish

Here is another sample I made.  The stamps I used are Fishline and Sushi. This was a easy card to make. I stamped the fish on a piece of card stock and added color. After cutting the fish out I glued them onto the background. I then stamped the sushi quote, layered in on black, and glued it down.

Tah dahhhh.

Done.

Easy, quick, and fun!

Boys will be boys....cute children rubber stamps

    
This card was made by Bridgette Yond. She has two adorable girls, and made this for a friend of hers. The DP Artworks stamps she used are; Spencer (MO 40 E), Patrick (MO 46 E), Pup (MO 09 B), and Puppy play (MO 52 C). She used Prismacolor pens to add the color. It is a very cute card.

I was received an e mail yesterday asking how I name the stamps. Sometimes it is easy to name the stamps...and other times it is difficult. The little boy in the green shirt is named Spencer after a student I taught a million years ago. I also have one named after his brother and sister, Alex and Clair. I taught both boys. Their parents were amazing as well. So now you know a little more about how I name the stamps.

  The little girl on yesterday’s card is named after my sister-in-law Dion. I will try to start letting you know a little more about the stamps. Thanks for checking out my blog.

Friends forever rubber stamp sample

Here is a sample from our very own Tressa. She used two stamps; Dion (MO 17 E) and Toy duo (MO 18 C). She used color pencils to add a bit of color. This ATC was stamped with Black Memories ink pad. The background is ColorBox Chalks Amber Clay and Burnt Sienna. All the DP Artworks rubber stamps of children have been very popular. Tomorrow's sample features some other of our children stamps.

Wee art

Do you know what these are? They are coin holders. Shel Andrews sent us this. It is double sided. The two DP Artworks stamps she used are Bee gear (small) and the other is Pressed (flowers). You could totally put this on the front of a card, altered book or even add a ribbon for and ornament.

More samples with DP Artworks rubber stamps!

 Here are some samples I happened upon. I wish I could tell you who made them.

 I see Amy Anderson's name on the back of one. She may have made all three.

They are awesome samples. I do have many samples to post and will be doing so soon.

Nature on parade!

This card is a 3" by 3" card after matting. Before matting it is a ATC ( 2.5" by 3.5") Okay, here is a cute and easy little card. First we made a mask of Cy MO 20 E. Basically what this means is that we stamped Cy on a piece of copy paper or a post it note, and then cut it out. We placed the cut out on the white card stock. Grab your Corner curl stamp NT 75 G and using a Marvy ink pad (Ochre) stamp the background. Lift off your mask and stamp Cy (we used Memories Black) in the space left from the mask. Next we stamped Sprig NT 85 B in Cy's hand (again we used Memories black). We could have made a mask for the sprig, but alas, we did not. The color was added with colored pencils. We matted it a few times and tah dah....another card- done.

children at play

This finished card is a 5 1/4" by 5 1/4" Well, here is another eye candy card. This is fun and easy to make. First we used a black Memories inkpad and stamped all the images. We used a mask on Dion and the pinwheel. By doing this it looks like she is holding the pinwheel in her hand. The stamps used are listed below. The images are all colored with colored pencils. We stamped (on a piece white cardstock) the teddy bear and Scout (the dog) and colored them. Cutting both of them out, we used pop dots behind them and placed them over where we stamped them originally. This makes them "pop" off the page. We finished the card by adding color with stipple brushes (around each image).
Stamps used:
Dion MO 17 F
Toy duo MO 18 C
Scout MO 19 C
Tim MO 22 E
Pinwheel MO 24 A
Children GT 64 E This is the quote

New cards

This is a 5 1/2" by 4 1/4" card

Here is a card made by Tressa....a great artist....and...my mom. And here is how she made it. First she grabbed the Tea for two stamp DL 24 G, and stamped it on acetate. You could stamp it and take it to the copy shop and copy it on to acetate. Next find a piece of paper to use as a background. This floral is a great background that harkens back to the 1940's. She ran the acetate through the xyron or you could use some double sided tape...hidden of course. Find paper that complements the background colors. Take a circle cutter and cut a circle in the front of your card. Adhere the Tea for two image/background so you can see it through the circle (that you cut out earlier)...center it. Stamp Good friends, EL 03 B, onto an extra piece of the some cardstock that you used for your card. Trim around your Good friends stamped image. Matte it on white and position it under the Tea for two image. tah dahhhh you are finished....beautiful!
