TAWS September 2015 - Sneak Peek

Hello friends,

Welcome to The Alley Way Stamps September Release.  Today, I'm sharing a sneak peek of a set called BIG Time.  I LOVE LOVE this set to pieces.  

On this card, I combined it with Flower Show.  I first stamped "Love" and embossed it with gold embossing powder directly on a card base.  On a piece of card stock, I stamped the flowers around the border and colored them with Copic markers.  With a craft knife, I carefully cut around the flowers and adhered my floral frame over my card base using foam tape.  

Thanks for stopping by, please check out our DT's pages for more sneak peeks.

Paper Sweeties August 2015 Release Sneak Peeks!

Hello everyone... It's Sneak Peek day at Paper Sweeties.  

For today's card, I'm using the following stamp sets: Birthday Banners, Let's Party, and the sentiment is from Wishing You.  

School has started.  In my household, it means there'd be lots of birthday invitations.  So I'm getting a head start by creating lots of colorful birthday cards, that fits for little kids.  

I first die cut a piece of cardstock using a pierced rectangle frame.  Next, I stamped my banners and presents.  I created the overlapping presents using the masking technique: stamped the first present, masked it, then stamped the next present.  I colored my images using Copic markers.  Finally, I stamped the sentiment and adhered my panel over yellow card base.  

Thanks so much for stopping by.  For more Sneak Peeks, please check out our DT's pages below.
