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).

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!

October rubber stamp card idea

October card using DP Artworks Stamps

Mary Sue posted this and I re-posted it...

Here is what I have been working on. I used DP Artworks Branch LG rubber stamp. I stamped the branch in black, using a Black Memories pad. I added lines for the web of the spiders. I found some pearl dimensional paint which worked great. The paint has a small pointy end which makes a nice line. Using the paint as an adhesive I stuck the spiders on. Finding some glow-in-the-dark stickers at the store I trimmed the moon and stars and Tah dah...It is done.

I like the way this card turned out. I am sending it on to Deena and the folks at DP Artworks. So soon you will be seeing it on their blog. I can't wait. I am making several of these for the boy's teachers and a few good friends.

Bobbey strikes again! New card samples using DP Artworks rubber stamps

We received a envelope from Bobbey Sakoman in NC just the other day....I have not even thanked her yet...But oh my goodness....Two of the cutest samples were in there! She used our sunflower stamp "Followers FL 14 F" for the first one and "Spotted wing butterfly NT 45 F" for the second one. She totally rocks samples! She teaches classes and if you ever get a chance to take a class from her, you will not be disappointed!

The sunflowers are stamped on a piece of inked glossy paper. I love working with glossy paper.

The butterfly was stamped, embossed, highlighted with a glitter pen and embellished with studs. (way cool!)

These along with many of her other awesome samples will be in our booth at Stampaway in Cincinnati, Ohio this August.(You didn't think I would go a day without talking about Stampaway....did ya?)

It's Christmas time in October!

So I went to the post office to check my mail....plus I had received an email from Bobbey Sakoman (in NC). She is one of or most excellent sponsored artist! She said she had sent some samples...but holy moly! She sent a box full of the most amazing samples....and I will be sharing these with you over the next few weeks!
They truly blew me away.....I called Bobbey as I was driving away from the Post office...I am sure I freaked her out a little...but really......WOW! The three I posted here are cards. The stamps used are; The pinkish colored card:Wild flowers, Swirl background and Thank you.

The red and white card has Iron round large (it comes in three

sizes).

The sunset card is made with Tall trees.

If you would like to order any of these stamps check your local stamp store or contact us at dpartworks1@yahoo.com. We can hook you up with them.

So a big thank you goes out to Bobbey for sharing these fantastic samples....And check back soon we will have more soon.....and not just cards!

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.
