Two for Tuesday - Birthday Stamp/Die Duo

Hello friends!  It's time for another Two for Tuesday feature over at the Divinity Designs Blog.  Today I am using the new Birthday Stamp/Die Duo along with some other goodies from the Divinity Designs Store for my two cards.

Creative Nugget:  Since I didn't have any gold card stock, I decided to make some of my own.  After gold embossing several sheets of card stock, Sparkling Star Dies and Double Stitched Star Dies were used to cut several gold and black stars.  The stars were arranged on a panel cut with a Pierced Rectangle Die. A sentiment from the Birthday Stamp/Die Duo was stamped and embossed in black and birthday was cut three times and stacked.  The All-Star sentiment is from the All-Star Jersey stamp set and was gold embossed to finish the card. 

Creative Nugget:  A Pierced Square Die and a Square Die were used to cut a window from the background panel for the shaker card.  Nuvo Mousse was applied through the Arrows Stencil with a palette knife to this panel for the stepped up version.  The little sentiments were stamped on pieces cut with the Log Cabin Die...these pieces are perfect for stamping small sentiments!

Be sure to hop on over to the Divinity Designs Blog to see more Two for Tuesday creations!

My first sample is for the Baseball fan in your family.

Creative Nugget:  The baseball image from the Baseball Stamp/Die Duo was stamped randomly all over the background panel cut with a Pierced Rectangle Die and colored with Copic Markers.  Paper from the Old Glory Paper Pad was cut with a Pierced Square Die, mounted on red paper from the same collection and stitched to the card.  Pierced Square bases were added.  One sentiment was cut with a Pierced Square and the other cut and matted with a Pennant Flag die cut and a Double Stitched Pennant Flag die cut.  Finally, an extra baseball was cut with the coordinating die and popped onto the card with foam tape.

My second sample uses the Golf Stamp/Die Duo.

Creative Nugget:  My Golf card is a Latch Fold Card.  After cutting and scoring the base of the card, paper from the Old Glory Paper Pad was mounted to each of the panels.  The green hills on the front of the card were cut from papers from the Birthday Brights Collection using a Leafy Edged Border Die and the Grass Hill Die and stitched to the card.  The hole on the green was cut using a Pierced Oval Die and a Circle Die.  A Pennant Flag Die, a Double Stitched Pennant Flag Die, and the handle die from the Bountiful Basket Set were used to make the flag.  The golf club was paper pieced using metallic silver card stock for part of the club.  The latch for the card was made with the golf ball from one of the sentiments in the Golf Stamp/Die Duo. Another sentiment was stamped on the inside of the card.

My third card of encouragement was made with the Teamwork and All-Star Jersey stamp sets and the coordinating Sports Jerseys Dies.

Creative Nugget: Papers from the Patriotic Collection and the Old Glory Paper Pad were cut with a Pierced Rectangle Die and mounted to the card front.  All of the other elements were made from the same paper collections.  The All-Star Jersey was stamped right on the striped paper.  Some of the red and blue paper was covered with VersaMark Ink and embossed with glittery embossing powder.  This paper and the Sparkling Stars Dies were used to cut all of the stars.  The Notebook Paper Stamp/Die Duo was used to make the panel on which the sentiment from the Teamwork set was stamped.  Other dies used include the Clipboard Dies and Sports Jerseys Dies.
