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!

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.

Wine time

Here are two of our newest images. This is Wine girl and Time echo. I used water color pencils to add the color. The ribbon is silk. I love using silk ribbon, it takes color well. This is an oversize card.

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!

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.

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?)

Playing with playing cards....inspiration.....

Okay, so here is something I have wanted to do for many years and just have not taken the time. They are playing cards. These are some in their first stages. So far I have started the kings, queens and jacks. I (needless to say) am the Queen of Heart! The card images are my family members ( not all of them but, it is set #1) . I will be adding crowns and more fun stuff. I am really excited about them....I work on them a little every day. I am making a set for my mother and myself.....Hey, Christmas is only 107 days away. Hmmmm.... ponder...If you have never done this...oh my gosh....FUN!

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.

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!

Branching out

Well, it's time to make some new art and create some new classes. I've got eight or so new ideas rolling around in my mind. ( They are making lots of clacking and buzzing noises so I ought to do something about it.;) So soon I will be posting new samples....yippy!

Awesome new samples....Bobbey strikes again!

Well, she has done it yet again! Bobbey (totally creative one that she is)has sent us new samples that were used in an on line magazine! She is one of those creative people who can see a stamp and *POOF* an idea comes and cards are made....I love artist that can work outside the box. No hand holding here...You go girl!
