My first card was made using the new Good Man stamp set and the Vintage Ephemera Paper Collection.
My second sample was made using the fun, new Sunshine Blessings stamp set and the fabulous new Sunburst Background.
Creative Nugget: A blue card base was created from a side folding card by cutting off approximately the top 2/3 of the card front. The bottom of the front as well as the inside of the card were layered with yellow card stock. The Sunburst Background was embossed on Neenah Solar Crest card stock and sunny colors were sponged on while the paper was still in the embossing plate. A portion was cut and stitched to the outside of the card front.
The smiley sun from the Sunshine Blessings stamp set was stamped on Neenah Solar Crest card stock and colored with Copic Markers. A banner was created using one of the sentiments from the Sunshine Blessings stamp set and the Pennant Dies. Two of the words from the sentiment were highlighted by stamping them in different colors, cutting them out, and popping them up on the banner. This panel was then stitched to the inside of the card. A few clouds cut with the Clouds & Raindrops Dies and flowers cut and sponged with the Bird and Nest Dies were added to finish the card.
Here are the new release products available now at the Our Daily Bread Designs Store that were used to make my projects...

Thanks so much for stopping by…hope you were inspired!
Have a wonderful 1st day of June!

These are stunning! Love how you did the light house, so creative and the sunshine will put a smile on anyone's face :)
ReplyDeleteGreat lighthouse card. I know how to tie a nautical knot. When my son was in scouting (he's an Eagle Scout now) the parents learned as well as the scout to tie many, many knots. It's one of the few things I still remember.
ReplyDeleteYour sunshine card is breath taking. Love the flowers and the stitching, too.
Very beautiful cards .Lovely details.
