ODBD Weekly Inspiration: You Are Appreciated

Hello everyone… Mother’s day is in 2 days and school will be out in less than 2 weeks! Can’t you believe that? Summer break is almost here! I am excited 😀 I hope you all are, too.

Today, I have another appreciation card for teacher to share with you. I created it using Our Daily Bread Designs May New Release stamps and custom die sets.

For the base, first I cut out the Lattice Background Die with white and black cardstocks and put them together slightly overlapping. For the frame, I cut out the frame using Rectangles Dies. I added the some distress ink on the frame. And then I added the lattice background on the white card base, and added the frame on top of it using double side tape.

I cut out the red, green and black cardstock using the A+ Apples Dies. I put each apple together with liquid adhesive and added a twine bow on each of them, too. Then I added the biggest one on the card, next the medium apple, and last the smallest one. I added the A+ with 3D foam tape.

For the sentiment, I stamped the sentiment from Class Act stamp set on a white cardstock with black archival ink and then I cut it out using the Double Stitched Pennant Flags Dies. And I added some red ink along the edge of the pennant banner. I added the sentiment banner on the card with adhesive and tucked it under the apple a little bit.

I finished the card with some red gems. This card is flat enough for mailing too. That’s my card for today. I hope you all are having a fantastic weekend with your family. Have blessed day and thank you for stopping by.

Mixed Media Thank You Card With Vellum Flower

Hello everyone… I am here today would like to share with you a fun mixed media card with stamps, die sets, gelatos, texture paste, and 3D handmade flowers.

I used the Lattice Background die set from Our Daily Bread Designs as the stencil to add the Ranger texture paste on the canson watercolor paper. Then I set it aside to dry.

While waiting for the background to dry, I die cut the rose petals and flowers with dies from Our Daily Bread Designs out of vellum papers. And then I added some of the Diamond Stickles on the edge of each petal and leaf. Then I put them together with dries clear adhesive.

Then I die cut one fancy fan die from Our Daily Bread Designs and then stamped the sentiment on it with Versafine Onyx Black ink pad.

Once the background dried well, I trimmed the edge to fit as the mat on the cardbase. Then I added some gelatos on top of the edge, blend them with my finger, and then sprayed them with some water to create the dripping look on them.

Than I added some splats on the background with London Fog FireWorks! Spray.

To put together the card, I added the background panel on the card base with Tombow Xtreme adhesive. Next is I added the sentiment fancy fan on the card with glue dots, and then the 3D vellum flower with the clear dries adhesive.

And that’s my card for today. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do and inspired you to create today. THANK YOU for visiting me today and have a fabulous day!

Mixed Media Tag: You Can Fly, Be Free

Hello everyone… One of the reasons I love Spring is not only the flowers are blooming, but also the birds are singing beautifully outside of our windows at the backyard all morning.

Inspired but the birds, I created this mixed media tag for my tag ring:

I cut out canson watercolor paper 140 lbs for my tag base. Than I added some shades of blue and purples from Koi watercolor paint on the background.

I use Some Birds – ARTplorations stencil and Bloom Silhouettes – ARTplorations Stencil. I used make sponge to add the Black Distress Ink in the tag using those stencils. And then I dabbed the GooseBumps on top of the ink for extra texture on the images. Let it dried well.

Once the background was completely dry, I added some some splatters on it. Started with water, some of the London Fog FireWorks! Spray, and then I added some of the GooseBumps at the last.

I stamped the sentiment from Trendy Birds 2 – STAMPlorations stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad on white cardstock and I trimed them into word stripes. I added them on the tag with mini stapler.

I hope you all enjoy this tag as much as I do 🙂 THANK YOU for stopping by my blog today!
