Duos! Artful Angel & C.C. Designs

 Hello crafty friends!  DT Kim here, and I am so excited to share with you these fun cards I made using the C.C. Designs Duos stamp set!   How cute are these?  This stamp set has 15 different images that can be combined, 2 sentiments, and 3 smaller coordinating images, allowing you to create cards for any occasion!

To create my cards, I colored my images (colors listed below), fussy cut them, and set them aside.  I wanted my cards to be light and airy, so I started with a card base of white and a top layer of white, die-cut using the C.C. Designs Rectangle Dies.  I die-cut a panel from coordinating card stock using the C.C. Designs Scalloped Rectangle Dies.

I die-cut a heart from the white panel, and I cut a smaller heart and set it aside.  I adhered my white panel with the heart die-cut to the colored panel, and then attached them to my card base.  I adhered the white heart to the center of the heart in the panel. 

Using VersaMark ink, I stamped the sentiment on black card stock and heat embossed it in white.  I die-cut the sentiment using a banner die and adhered it to the front of my card panel.  I stamped the plus sign in the middle of the white heart and added my main images.  

How cute are these cards?  Once I figured out my layout, I was able to whip these out in no time flat!

Newton's Nook Knead Kittens

Hi angels!  DT Kim here to share this card made with the adorable Newton’s Nook Knead Kittens stamp set. 

I had a ton of fun creating this card.  The images in this stamp set are just adorable.  I colored up the image with Copics (colors listed below) and then fussy cut the image and set it aside.

I decided that I would pair kraft card stock with some Stampin' Up Flirty Flamingo card stock.  I die-cut a heart using the Sizzix Framelits Die Set and I inked up the edges of the heart with Saltwater Taffy Distress Ink.  I die-cut a card panel from each using the Stitched Rounded Rectangle Dies from Elizabeth Craft.  I inked the edges of both panels using Vintage Photo and Saltwater Taffy Distress Inks.  

I used the small stamps in the stamp set to create my own background.  I inked them up with Versamark ink, which is a ton of fun, as it creates a watermark and takes on the same color as the paper you are stamping it on, just a shade darker.  I heat embossed the sentiment onto the heart and adhered all of the layers to the card base.  I wound some baker's twine around my fingers and placed it on the card front, and then I popped my image up on foam dots. 

Copics Used: 

Cat:  E25, E33, E53, E50, RV21, RV000

Bread:  E18, E15, E13, E53, 51, E50

I hope that you have found something that inspires you to get crafty!
