Thinking of You with LDRS Creative

I have been enjoying creating clean and simple cards and today’s project is super easy, you can create this in less than 30 minutes!

For today’s card, I am showcasing the Finest Blooms Pirouette Stamp Set and Finest Blooms Pirouette Coordinating Dies, along with the A2 Stitched Layered Card Toppers Die Set with the following Hybrid Inks –> Pink TutuKey Lime Pie and Raven.

I started by die-cutting some Beige, Pink and White card stock using the A2 Stitched Layered Card Toppers Die Set.  I adhered the layers on an A2-size notecard, and foam-mounted the white card stock for added dimension.

Next, I stamped the images with Raven Hybrid Ink on some Neenah Solar White Card Stock and colored the images in with alcohol markers.  I used the Finest Blooms Pirouette Coordinating Dies to cut them all out.  The leaves and flowers were stamped using Pink Tutu and Key Lime Pie Hybrid Inks.

I finished my design by foam-mounting the images on the card for added dimension and stamping the sentiment with Raven Hybrid ink.  Here’s another look:

2 Cards Featuring Floral Toner Toppers & Sunny Meadow Stamp Set

Hello LDRS Creative fans! Things are pretty busy here on my side of the world but I am throughly enjoying Spring! What about you?

I also have been trying to build my stash of “just-because” cards to send to family and friends and so for today’s project, I have two cards to share with you using one pattern paper. 

While looking at all of my LDRS paper pad collection, I decided to use the beautiful Floral Toner Toppers 6×6 Paper Pad, along with the Lovely Watercolor Ephemera PiecesSunny Meadow Petal Pusher Stamp Set and Sunny Meadow Petal Pushers coordinating dies with the AMAZING LDRS Hybrid Inks.  The black strips were die-cut using the 1/8″ Slimline Background Strips.

Both cards below are pretty much identical with the exception of the sentiments used.

I started by stamping the images from the Sunny Meadow Petal Pusher Stamp Set on some Neenah solar white card stock.  I made sure I had enough images to create two cards. 

The layering inks I used today are:  Pink TutuLipstick JungleScarlet RoseKey Lime PieOlive BranchPistachios-A-PlentyFour LeafLa La Lavender and Grape Ape.

Next, I cut the Floral Toner Toppers Paper to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 then used my paper trimmer to cut it in half, diagonally.  I foam-mounted both pieces on some A2-size notecards.  I cut the black strips using the 1/8″ Slimline Background Strips Die Strips Die on some black card stock and adhered on the card with liquid glue.

The next step was to adhere the floral images on the card with liquid glue and foam adhesive for added dimension.  I finished the card design by adding the sentiments on the card using the Lovely Watercolor Ephemera Pieces and You’re Simply The Best stamp set

Here’s another look at both cards:

I hope you like these cards today and much as I do!  Below, you will find links to the supplies used to create this project(s). Where available, I use compensated affiliate links at no extra cost to you. Your support helps me to keep bringing you new projects and inspiration. Thank you!

2 Cards Featuring Easter Pirouette Stamp Set by LDRS Creative

Hello everyone!  I was away for two weeks and I couldn’t wait to start creating today! I am back sharing two cute Easter cards, showcasing the Easter Pirouette stamp set and coordinating dies, along with the One Fine Day 6×6 Paper Pad that I mixed with a few older stamp sets (mentioned below) and the A2 Diagonal Stitched Layered Card Toppers Die Set by LDRS Creative.

The new LDRS release is to die for!  I honestly didn’t know which stamp set to feature for my cards today since they are all AMAZING, but since Easter is coming soon, I figured I’d share some Easter-themed cards!

I started by stamping the images on some Neenah Solar White card stock with Raven Hybrid Ink.  I colored the images in with alcohol markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out.  I also die-cut another panel of Neenah solar white using the smallest die from the Diagonal Stitched Layered Frames and stamped the images from the Hoppy Egg Hunt (eggs) and A Day in the Park (tree) using Raven Hybrid Ink.  I colored them using alcohol markers and adhered the cute little chick to finish the scene. I matted this panel with some black card stock that I die-cut using the Diagonal Stitched Layered Frames

The colorful background was made by using the biggest die from the A2 Diagonal Stitched Layered Card Toppers Die set and the One Fine Day 6×6 Paper Pad that I adhered on an A2-size notecard.

I finished the card design by using some white gel pen for added texture.  Here’s another look at the first card:

For my second card, I also used the Finest Blooms Pirouette Stamp Set and coordinating dies with a few of my favorite layering Hybrid Inks –> Pink TutuLipstick JungleKey Lime Pie, Peachy KeenIn Your Face OrangeLittle Boy Blue and Bali Blue.

First, I prepared the background that I matted with some black card stock.  I stamped the images randomly from the Finest Blooms Pirouette stamp set using the hybrid inks I mentioned above.  I had so much fun mixing and matching the beautiful colors!

Next, I used the Finest Blooms Pirouette Coordinating Dies to die-cut the middle of the background panel.  The idea behind that is to in-lay the wreath that I stamped using the Finest Blooms Stamp Set with the Key Lime Pie Hybrid Ink and die-cut using the coordinating die.

I in-laid the wreath with foam-adhesive for added dimension and adhered the center die-cut with liquid glue.  I also adhered the cute little chick in the middle from the Easter Pirouette stamp set.  I adhered the card front on some A2-size notecard.

To finish my design, I stamped the sentiment from the Easter Pirouette Stamp Set using Watermark Ink on some black card stock.  I sprinkled some White Embossing Powder and used my heating tool to heat-set the sentiment.  I love that the sentiment also has a coordinating die to cut it out perfectly!  It really is worth the investment!  I added some foam adhesive and liquid glue on the sentiment and adhered on the card panel.  Here’s another look:

I hope you like my cards today and got inspired to shop the new LDRS Spring Release!  The supplies I used are listed and linked below for your convenience.  Thanks for stopping by today, and happy stamping!

You Are a Shining Star with LDRS Creative’s January 2022 Release

Hello everyone!  I’m sharing this cute and simple card today showcasing the ADORABLE Never Stop Dreaming Stamp Set and Never Stop Dreaming Dies, with the A2 Stitched Layered Card Toppers Die Set and In the Grass Border Dies

To make the card, I placed the stamps from the Never Stop Dreaming Stamp Set inside my stamping tool and stamped the images on some Neenah Solar White Card stock using Raven Hybrid Ink.   I stamped the images with the help of the Stampendable Stamping Tool  to get some really good impression.  I colored the images in with alcohol markers and used the Never Stop Dreaming Dies to cut them all out. 

The background is a pattern paper from a previously released Exclusive Craft Kit  that I die-cut using the  A2 Stitched Layered Card Toppers Die Set.  [Side note: y’all need to check the Exclusive Craft Kit  as they are packed-full of crafting goodies that you can use over and over again]. I used my white gel pen to draw dots and starbursts to the background for added texture and interest. I adhered this panel on some A2-size notecard.  Since the paper is 6×6, I cut the extra using the In the Grass Border Dies.  I adhered the grass panel to the background panel with some 1/8 inch double-sided tape.  Other than that, I didn’t really need to do anything else since the background already has everything to create my scene.

Next, I adhered all of the images on the card with glue.  Since I needed the sentiment to stand out on the card, I stamped it on some black card stock using Watermark Ink.  I sprinkled some White Embossing Powder and heat-set with my heating tool.  I cut the sentiment using the Fiskars Paper Trimmer and adhered on the card with double-sided adhesive.  I finished my design by using some white gel pen to draw dots and stars on the background for added texture and interest.  I also used some Stickles to add some shine to the moon.  Here’s another look at the finished card: 

 I hope you like my card today and got inspired.  The supplies I used are listed and linked below.  Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping!

I started by die-cutting two panels of some Neenah solar white card stock using the A2 Diagonal Stitched Layered Card Toppers Die Set.  I adhered the bigger panel to an A2-size notecard.  The smaller panel was inked up using a Blender Brush, with the Plaid 6×6 Stencil and Alloy Hybrid Ink.  I foam-mounted this panel on the card for added dimension.

Next, I stamped the images from the So Thankful and Country Corner Accessories Stamp Sets with Raven Hybrid Ink.  This is my favorite ink to use to stamp my images.  I colored the images in with alcohol markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out.  I adhered the Christmas Tree to the Red Truck with liquid glue and foam-mounted both images on the card front for added dimension.

I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Wishes stamp set on some black card stock with Watermark Ink.  I sprinkled some white embossing powder and heat set with my heating tool. Next, I used the Wave Ribbon Stack Die Set to cut them all out.  I love using this stamp set and die combo!  You get to stamp it at one go and have a bunch of sentiment strips to be used for future projects! Such a genius idea!  I adhered the sentiment on the card using liquid glue.

I finished my card design by adhering some gold baubles on the Christmas Tree and Stickles to the star, for added texture and interest!  Here’s another look at the card:
