Today is the second day of the SSS Blog Hop celebrating the Moments in Time release. I hope you are enjoying all the inspiration using products from this amazing release - and there are a lot of products in it! First I want to share with you a card I made using the Birthday Dragons Stamp and Die Bundle as shown here:
I also used the new A2 Frame Dies which are a must have for card makers - love the size and how they can be used as I'll show you in my card below.
I first stamped all of the images in the Birthday Dragons stamp set with Versamark Ink. I colored them all in with Copic Markers. I wasn't sure what color a dragon should be so I went with a chartreuse green and bright purple! I die-cut all of the images out with the matching dies. I used a white Uniball to add lines to the balloons and dragon wings. I used Tonic Crystal Glaze over all of the balloons so they are shiny and raised.
I made the background with several colors of cardstock using the new A2 Frame Dies. I die-cut a larger frame from purple cardstock and attached it to a white card base. I then die-cut a chartreuse green frame with the next size smaller frame and attached that inside the purple one. Then I die-cut the same size frame from royal blue cardstock and used the inside piece inside the green frame. I love that you can use the frames as well as the inside of the frames to layer lots of colors on your card! I attached all of my dragons and cake on the front of the card using foam tape beneath some of the images. I stamped a sentiment from the set with black ink and attached that over the purple frame. I used some of the new Electric Lime Embellishment Mix around the background.
I blogged this card yesterday using the new Welcome Little One stamp and die set. You can see my blog post with directions for this card HERE.
I blogged this card the day of the release using the new Thanks Always stamp and die bundle and the Delicate Stitched Borders Dies and you can see the blog post with directions HERE.
