Guest Designer Spotlight: Sending My Love Card with Laura Bassen

Every other Friday we will be spotlighting a different guest designer on the blog.  I'm very excited by all the wonderful and talented ladies we have lined up for the coming months and the wonderful Laura Bassen is kicking things off with a darling card using our Sending My Love stamp set.

I just adore the darling way she colored her kitty and her clean and simple style!  The little window with the kitty peeking out is too cute and I love the way she cut the heart with hands out as a separate piece to pop them up and make them stand out!

Rain or Shine: You Make Me Happy Card with Elise

Good morning! It's Elise again to share a colorful card with you that features the Rain or Shine stamp set and dies!

I was so excited about the rainbow and cloud stamps in this set, and I knew they would be perfect for a cheery, colorful card!

The images are all colored with Prismacolor pencils and attached with foam tape. I used a smiley face stamp from another set that I had in my stash, but the face could easily be drawn on the cloud with a black marker. I also added some stickles to the edge of the clouds and the hearts for some extra detail. Here is a close up on those adorable clouds!

Thanks for stopping by and stop by again tomorrow for some more inspiration! :)

Rain or Shine: Let's Weather It Together Card by Marion

Hi there. It's Marion here with another card using the Rain or Shine stamp set. Isn't this puppy just the sweetest thing?

I created the background with my new Kuretake water colour paints onto some Tim Holtz water colour paper.  I thought it created the perfect background for the cute doggy image from the set which I coloured with Copic markers. I popped up the images with some foam dimensionals.

Rain or Shine Sending Sunshine Rainbow Card by Mendi

Hello there!  Today the team is showcasing ways to use the Rain or Shine stamp set and I have a fun Rainbow card that I created pairing sentiments from the complimentary Sunny Sentiments stamp set.

I colored my image in with Copic markers.  I used a pale B0000 to color in shade the bottom of my clouds and then popped them up with foam tape to add some interest.  I then added a little clear glossy accents over my hearts to give them some shine.  

For my sentiment I gently bent the stamp on my block to have it follow the curve of my rainbow.  Love how clear stamps can be shaped like this!  :)

Rain or Shine Let's Weather It Together Card with Melissa

Hello everyone, Melissa here! I am super excited to share a card with you today featuring the newly released stamp set Rain or Shine! This set is so much fun! 

Sunny Studio Stamps Rain or Shine Rainy Day Let's Weather It Together Card by Melissa Bowden.

Like a lot of my cards, this is one layer so required quite a bit of masking. I first stamped the dog holding his umbrella, then masked them off and stamped the grassy border from Sunny Sentiments. Once that was done I masked off the grass area with masking paper and inked up the sky using a variety of blue inks. I then used a darker blue to stamp the raindrops. I then removed the mask from the grass and stamped the sentiment on the bottom of the card and heat embossed it using white embossing powder. 

To add the color to the grass I masked off the sky and inked it up using several green inks. Next I colored both the dog and his umbrella using distress inks. To finish the card I stuck the scene onto a scalloped card base.
