Happy Birthday Card with the Sweet Escape Collection by LDRS Creative

Hello LDRS Creative friends and family!  I am here today, sharing yet another cute card showcasing the new Party Time Tails Stamp Set & Coordinating Dies from the Sweet Escape Collection Release.

Do you ever have a stack of unfinished card bases in your stash that you kept for a while?  I do, and I always keep them in a plastic bin in my craft room, ready for my next project.  Sometimes the simplest projects are the best to create, turning a ho-hum base into a beautiful card!

I started by stamping the Party Time Tails Stamp Set onto Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored with alcohol markers.  I used the Party Time Tails Coordinating Dies to die-cut the images.  Since I already have a 5×7 card base with an ink-blended background in my stash, I decided to add some texture by splattering it with some white watercolor.

I wanted a big, bold sentiment to match my 5×7 birthday card, so I decided to use the Big Word Birthday Die.  Once the sentiment is adhered to the card, I added the little cute mice and finished the design by stamping some black stars using the aLined Geos Stamp Set.  Here’s another look at the finished project:

I hope I have given you some inspiration today to create beautiful projects with the new Sweet Escape Collection.  We cannot wait to see what you create, and don’t forget to share it on social media!

Thanks for stopping by, and happy crafting!

Valentine’s Day Cards Featuring Old & New Release by LDRS Creative

| marialrussell

Hello everyone! Happy Friday and Happy New Year! In today’s post, I am sharing two Valentine’s Day cards featuring some old and new releases by LDRS Creative. 

For my first card, I am showcasing the Fuzzy Wuzzy Birthday Suit and Undercover Bundle, along with the Alpha Stencil Pack, A to Z Sentiments, and the Mixed Scallop Rectangle Dies.

I ink-blended the scallop die-cut and the card base with Soft Kisses, Tangerine Orange, Dan-D-Lion, and Key Lime Pie Hybrid inks using some blending brushes.  It took a while to blend the colors, but I am happy with how they turned out!

I foam-mounted the scallop die-cut on the card base and used the Alpha Stencil Pack, along with blending brushes and the colors Lipstick Red and Soft Kisses.   

Next, I stamped the cute little “Fuzzy Wuzzy” image using Tropical Sea, In Your Face Orange, and Raven Hybrid ink.  I also stamped the sentiment from the A to Z Sentiments and added the red heart to finish the look.

For my next card, I used one of my favorite alphabet dies called Sophie Alpha Uppercase Die Set, along with the aLined Geos Stamp Set, Star Octagon Frame Die, and Petite Petals Die.

The background was made by ink-blending the base with Soft Kisses Hybrid ink.  I used the A-lined Geos stamp set to create the pattern with the same ink for a monotone look. 

Next, I die-cut the leaves and flowers using the Petite Petals Die set, as well as the white frame using the Star Octagon Frame die, and the word “LOVE” using the Sophie Alpha Uppercase Die Set.  I love mixing and matching old and new products to create a beautiful card!

I hope you were inspired today with the projects I made for Valentine’s Day!  Thanks for stopping by, and happy crafting!
