Season's Greetings, Dreamweaver Style

Hello there!  It's Stampendous® Dreamweaver Thursday and this week we're celebrating stencils and stamps that are "All in One."  You know, an awesome sentiment with an even more awesome image either stamped or stenciled.  For my card today, I've used Dreamweaver Stencil© LJ897 Rhinestone Wreath.  This particular stencil isn't carried by Stampendous yet, but, you can find it at the Stencil With Style on-line store in the meantime.


Here's what I used to create this card:

Stampendous® Dreamweaver Stencils© LJ897 Rhinestone Wreath Stencil
Stampendous® Dreamweaver Stencils© Metallic Silver Embossing Paste
Stampendous® Mixed Media White Paper
American Crafts™ Jolly 6x6 Paper Pad
Burgundy Cardstock by Bazzill Basics Paper®
May Arts Ribbon®
Glue Dots® - Small
Zip Dry™ Paper Glue by Beacon Adhesives

Here's what I did to create this card:

Trim a piece of white cardstock and tape stencil to paper
Paste emboss, remove stencil and set aside to dry
Trim cardstock to create a card base with a tent fold
Trim a piece of patterned paper as shown
Once paste has dried, adhere all layers as shown
Create bow and attach to card front with a glue dot

This is a super easy card to create, the longest process is just waiting for the paste to dry!  Here's a list of my teammates playing along today:


Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I'll see you again tomorrow with another post!

Hugs,
Lea

Thank Ewe!

This is a bittersweet post today for Dreamweaver Stencils, it's my last post with the Dream Team under the skillful guidance of Lynell, founder of Dreamweaver Stencils.  If you've been under a rock somewhere and haven't heard, Stampendous Stamps has purchased Dreamweaver Stencils.  Since I'm also on the Stampendous Design Team, I'm lucky enough to get to continue creating with my very favorite stencils, now combined with my very favorite stamps.  I want to "thank ewe," Lynell, for inviting me to become a part of your Dream Team!  It was a privilege and an honor to serve under you for the past two years. Lynell, I wish you and Wayne the best always and I'm sure I'll see you again!  I do hope you enjoy your new-found freedom!

In honor of our last post for the Dreamweaver Stencils Dream Team, I would like to share my first card I posted as part of this wonderful group of gals.  Details can be found here!


And here's my final post for Dreamweaver Stencils as part of the Dream Team:


Here's what I used to create this card:

Dreamweaver Stencils© LL3040 Open Sheep Stencil
Dreamweaver Stencils© DL3040 Open Sheep Die Set
Dreamweaver Stencils© Regular Embossing Paste
Plaid® Baby Pink Acrylic Paint
DecoArt® Americana® Coral Blush Acrylic Paint
Basic Grey® Olivia Paper Pad
Tim Holtz® Distress Ink in Iced Spruce
Coral Cream Cardstock by Bazzill Basics Paper®
Guacamole Cardstock by Bazzill Basics Paper®
May Arts Ribbon®
Zva Creative Crystals®
Beacon Adhesive

Here's what I did to create this card:

Trim a piece of patterned paper and tape reverse side of stencil to paper
Mix paints with paste until you have desired color and paste emboss sheep
Run die cuts through die machine with two different patterned papers
Once paste has dried, attach die cut pieces to paste and pattern paper
Create horizontal A2 card base with a tent fold from green paper
Trim a piece of coral cardstock as a mat for patterned paper and adhere the two
Create a double bow from ribbon and attach tails around back side and adhere entire piece to card base
Add distress ink around edges of sheep
Adhere two small black crystals for eyes

When you have a shower, you need thank you cards to send to your guests that gave you a present.  For a baby shower, there's not much that's sweeter than this adorable lamb.  I think it's perfect!  Plus, I really wanted to thank Lynell for the past two years and the opportunity she gave me to create with her wonderful products.  Here's the rest of the team playing along with our farewell to Lynell:


Thanks for stopping by today.  I appreciate your visits and I always love to read comments you're sweet enough to leave.  Have a wonderful day and I'll see you again soon!

Hugs,
Lea

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Rain, rain, go away, come again another day!  That's my theme song this week!  It's been raining the past few days here in North Carolina and, even though we need it, I'm ready for it to be gone.  Bring on the sunshine!

Our Stampendous Dreamweaver Stencils April challenge is "Showers to Showers" and this is my take on the theme this week:

Set this aside to drive

Color over raindrops with glitter pen
Create an A2 card base from blue cs with a tent fold
Trim a piece of yellow cs a 1/4" smaller than card front
Trim a piece of yellow cs to mat behind image
Cut a piece of green ribbon and a piece of yellow ribbon and adhere the two together
Trim rain stenciled piece to fit 1/4" smaller than yellow cs
Add distress ink all over stenciled piece
Adhere stenciled piece to yellow cs and attach ribbon as shown
Adhere these layers to card base

 At Stampendous we’re very excited to be able to offer our products in many countries around the world. We’re able to do this thanks to our terrific distributors in those countries who help retail stores to stock our products. In the UK we have a very long and valued partnership with Woodware Craft Collection. These wonderful folks stock almost all of our products, and they even stock several classic items that have retired from our store here in the US. They also stock almost all of our new Dreamweaver Stencils line, so we thought it would be another great event to celebrate the addition of Dreamweaver to the Stampendous family.

This week we’re going to celebrate with the awesome Woodware Design Team and the Dreamweaver Stencils Dream Team all of the the great Stampendous and Dreamweaver Stencils products that Woodware makes available to the UK market.

Manly Kind of Birthday Card

January has been all about birthdays for Dreamweaver Stencils, the birth of a new year and the birthday celebrations of family and friends.  Such a perfect way to start a new year!  We'd love for you to play along with us, and link your creations to the Inlinkz tool at the bottom of this post, or on the Dream It Up! blog, for a chance to win the stencil of your choice...and remember, using Dreamweaver products gets you bonus points towards an extra stencil!  

 For my post today, I've created a monochromatic card with a masculine feel for all those special fellas in your life.  Actually, if my dad was still living, this card would be perfect for him!  That man loved his coffee and this mug reminds me of the ones at Waffle House, his favorite place to eat breakfast.  Here's my card:

Here's what I used to create this card:



 Here's what I did to create this card:
  • I started out by taping my stencil to my paper and with a brush, I inked through the stencil with frayed burlap ink
  • Once done, I trimmed my paper to the edge of the stenciled area and distressed the edges, then inked the edges with vintage photo ink
  • I stamped three "coffee rings" on the inked design and then added my spoonful of gold dust and heated it from underneath
  • I adhered a small scrap of burlap to fit behind the mug and then wrapped the card with burlap twine as shown and finished it off with a knot
  • Next I created an A2 card base with a tent fold
  • I attached this stenciled panel to the card base and lightly inked the base edges
  • I stamped the coffee mug with the sentiment and cut it out
  • I colored the "coffee" and went over the text with distress markers
  • Lastly I attached my mug to the card base


 I'm really pleased with the way this card turned out.  I love it when they come together so easily.  There's lots more inspiration for you from the whole team so be sure to check it all out and leave us some love!  

Thanks for stopping by today!  I'll see you again soon, and, in the meantime, have a wonderful day!  Don't forget to play along with us!

Hugs,
Lea
