Hello there! Today for our Sunny Saturday Share we have a special guest designer which I'm sure many of you know well. Cristina "Yainea" Nunez is joining us!!! I am such a huge fan so I was delighted when she agreed to squeeze us into her busy schedule and create some cute cards with a couple of our stamp sets. :)
Her first card uses our School Time stamps. I just adore the fun chalkboard treatment she gave her background and how realistic her apple looks with her beautiful shading!
Up next is a card using our Birthday smiles stamps. For this card, Yainea started by stamping the images in white pigment ink and then when it was fully dry she stamped over the images again in bright colors of dye ink.
I love how the colors pop against the kraft paper with this fun technique! :)
Thank you Yainea for sharing your talents with us. You're the best! :)
Hi there! I'm wrapping up my week hijacking the blog with one last Bundled Up card using one of my favorite color combos: Hot pink and lime green!
This particular hat is a favorite of mine from the set. My daughter had a hat identical to this in red when she was two and it was the cutest thing ever! I can still picture her chubby cheeks squeezed with the hat's chin strap! ;)
To pick up the colors in my pre-colored penguin I repeatedly stamped the Cool Christmas sentiment in alternating colors of pale pink, hot pink and lime green ink on the diagonal. After I was done I felt like it was still a little too plain for my taste so I stitched simple rows with white thread on my sewing machine. I also die-cut a trio of matching snowflakes from the Snow Kissed die set which I topped with small jewels for a bit of sparkle.
I have to gush that I am loving these mini snowflake dies! I'm finding they are just the right size to compliment so many stamped images!
Well, I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Don't forget that there's still time to take advantage of our 20% off sale using the code "CARDMAKER" at our online store. I will pop in again on Monday with some winners from Wednesday's blog hop. :)
