Enjoy Today Small Stamp by Darkroom Door~

Hi all!
Today I'm sharing the NEW small stamp by
Darkroom Door called Enjoy Today. 
The sentiments are great for art journal pages or
scrapbooking too.  Great size!

I used a tag and created a pocket using the NEW Sm. Vintage Label 
to hold bookmarks.  The project is simply made but great
to add to an inside cover of a book.  

Each sentiment strip is used for a bookmark.  I also added stamps from these
Darkroom Door sets: Sketched Borders, Vintage Office and Library
Books.  Distress Oxide is used to create a mixed media look. Acrylic paint
is always a fun element to add to the mix.  The NEW products can be found
HERE.   All the adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Horse & Sleigh Die by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi all!
Today I'm sharing the NEWLY released Horse & Sleigh Die 
 by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  It is a fun one!

I want to focus on the top card first.  The backround is created 
stamping in a repeat pattern using Archival ink. Twine and a
sentiment (One Line Sentiments/happy any day.) were added.
to complete the card.  I created a charm using the Horse & Sleigh Die.
Here is how I did it~

Cover a piece of black cardstock with packaging tape on
both sides.  I used the Big Shot for added pressure. Run it through
 a couple of times to get a clean cut.  Punch a small hole
in the top and add a bead or two and dangle from the twine 
on the card.

The second card is stamped out using the Ski Lodge stamp, 
colored with panpastels and then the Horse & Sleigh die cut is
added along with the sentiment. The sentiment is from the
One Line Sentiments/happy any day., embossed and added to the
card front.

Small Vintage Label Stamp by Darkroom Door~

Hi all!
Today I would like to share a couple of
tags created with the NEW Sm.Vintage Label by
Darkroom Door.  So cute and goes great with
the Lots of Labels set.

The tags are created in the same way, just different stamps used.
I wanted to create a Mother's card and Father's card so the stamps
reflect that. 

The background for the tags is the NEW Handwritten Ledger set with
Archival black ink. The Fine Leaves are colored in with Distress Oxide
ink.  The Sm. Vintage Label is stamped and then trimmed out.

The Vintage Office set was stamped with Archival ink in random
 spots.  The label is added along with the paper doll on each tag.
The hanging strip is using the NEW This Happened set.  I added
embossed sentiments to each tag.  Love the white words on black
cardstock.  Other products: Father's Day Sentiments, Mother's Day
Sentiments 

You can find the entire NEW release HERE.

Relaxing on the Beach Die by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

 Hi all!
Sharing another NEW Die by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps
 called Relaxing on the Beach Die.  A great way to add 
dimension to a image easily!!  I'm in for that.

Both of the cards are stamped using the Relaxing on the Beach 
stamp .  The chairs are cut out first and then stamped using a 
stamping platform. The chairs are colored with panpastels
and then added over the stamped image using dimensional
adhesive.  Gives the cards added interest and it was easy to do.
Sentiments are the One Line Sentiments/lucky you.

Dotted Circles Abstract Stamp by Darkroom Door~

Hi all!
Today i'm sharing a couple of cards using the 
Dotted Circles Abstract stamp by Darkroom Door.
I used bright Distress Oxide inks for these cards. 
The inks work so well for this type of card background.

Both cards are created in the same way.  A mix of
ink was used (like watercolor) for the backgrounds.
I then stamped over the colorful ink mixture to get
a fun mixed media type look. 

I love how the Under the Sea stamps worked with this design.
So perfect!! Also used on this card are the Stripped Rings Abstract,
 Enjoy Today (NEW) and Stitched Borders.

The blue tone oxides along with some purple and pink make for 
a beautiful background for Seashells stamps. Also used on this
card are the Shaded Dots Abstract, Abstract Faded Circles and
 Enjoy Today(NEW) stamp.

Sea Life Die by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi all!
For the month of April I will be sharing the NEW
Dies by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  They go with the
BKR stamps.  A great way to add dimension to a card front
without the hand cutting.  First up is 
Sea Life Die.

Both of the cards are created in a similar way but
different in the way the card was put together.  The background
is a mix of Distress Oxide inks.  The bottom card, stencils were
added for texture and a mixed media feel.  The Sea Life images are
run through a die cutting machine and then stamped using a 
stamping platform.  Designer tip:  Stamp the Sea Life images
on a piece of paper using a stamping platform.  Place the die cut
iamges over the stamped impression on the paper.  Works beautifully.
Place the images, on the card front, using dimentional adhesive. 

The One Line Sentiments/friends rock. are embossed with white
 embossing powder and added to each card.

Thin Sticks by Darkroom Door ~ a card!

 Hi all!
Today I'm sharing another project using the Thin Sticks
Abstract stamp by Darkroom Door.  This time a 
card. Love to change it up!


I stamped strips using the Thin Sticks stamp and then cut them
into sections.  Each section was a different ink. I used Distress Oxide
 ink. The section were then arranged on the
front of a A2 card front and adhered down.

The Robin bird was stamped and then added along
with the sentiment for the card.  I also used Carved Leaves Vol.1,
Robin, Enjoy Today(NEW) and Stiched Borders all byDarkroom
Door. Love how the stamps go together. So easy to create with
them.
