Sports & Hobbies WLSC

 Hi Everyone my DT make today is for the mid month post for 

We Love Stamping

This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme from Anesha

Sports & Hobbies 

 

 

As I said in my previous WLSC post, I have just one set of stamps for sports and as I hadn't used some sets, I decided to go with them. However, I have used this set before, here. 

 

I decided to use kraft card, something I haven't used in an age.  I stamped the dart board, then die cut it, with a larger die cut in black card. I temporally placed them in the centre of the layer card, which had been to cut to add onto the base layer. I haven't a circle stamping platform, so tried to add the darts as evenly as possible, I haven't been too successful, but I don't think the men notice, I hope not. 

 

I then coloured them with markers, fixed the dart board in place, stamped the sentiments from the dart set, then cut them by hand and added them at an angle onto the card. Next I added a red pearlised layer to brighten the card a bit and placed the layers onto the base card.

 I have very few sports stamps, in fact just one set, I've had for years. I've not used this set of images, so decided to follow a sketch and case a card that was shown on the back of the stamps package.

 

I firstly stamped the pins, I was going to write the Happy onto the pins, but I'm a bit shaky of late, so decided to see if my Silhouette could cut, out of card, 5mm x 7mm letters. It did, incredible really, I'm always impressed how good it is. I added them to the pins. 

 

Next I die cut the circle for them and die cut a paper from a pad for the larger circle, with the same colours, that I had decided on. 

 

For the background I stamped the ball over the card and die cut it to fit the base card, it was added to it.

 

Next the circles were glued together, and edged with the ball layer. The pins were added, one sideways, as if it was hit by the ball. I then added a die cut orange piece of card and stamped the birthday on it. Adding the ball.

Charcoal Chuck TMR

 Hi Everyone, my DT card for today is for 

 

So many things I could have done with the subject, but it seems I'm on a run with a Dr Digi images. I love this image and as my Nephew in Law, is a great BBQ King it was made for him, he really does delicious things with the BBQ, so it's perfect for his birthday. 

I started with the background, pretty simple, I stencilled the clouds and grass and cut to size with a die. I then took the image into Silhouette and print and cut him 3 times for depth.  Next was to colour him with DI's. I really am no artist. The stencilled layer was added to the base card and then Chuck was added. I also print and cut the sentiment 3 times, it was a copy of the words I had in my files, that wouldn't fit, and it was layered onto the card. Quite simple, but that's my mind set atm.

CCC Bird Day Tweetings

    Hi Everyone, my DT make today is for -

Critter Crazy

 Anything Goes but they MUST feature a critter as the main focus 

Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale, 

Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter.

I had already stamped and coloured a bird, the tree branches and the bird house, a few months ago, but didn't know what to do with them. Then in a panic to get this post done, I decided to use them, but to add another bird, it was pot luck on colouring it to match the first one, but it was OK in the end, I think?

 

I embossed a leaf background from a leaf die, but decided to only colour the flowers in it. I die cut it, as per the sketch I had to use for inspiration. Next I added the tree house and branches and the birds, I didn't have what I wanted in a sentiment stamp, so printed one out and die cut it. 

 

I wanted to add paper, as per the sketch, and found this bird paper in my files a freebie from my subscription magazine, and it even had blue tits on it. I printed it, cut it to size and pasted it onto the base card. Then added the circle design. 

 

The sentiment was added with 3D pads. Thank goodness for sketch inspiration sometimes. 

This is the sketch I used -
