Darkroom Door 4th of July Shaker Card

 

Hello stampers!  It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you today to share a festive 4th of July shaker card made with fabulous stamps by Darkroom Door, available at Topflight Stamps.  For this card, I started by embossing the Pinstripe background stamp in white and brushing on Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink onto the misted panel.  Next, I embossed the new Brave & Free quote stamp and Sketchy Stars eclectic stamp in white and colored the sentiment with Chipped Sapphire and the stars with Barn Door.  I love the Darkroom Door quote stamp collection and love to cut my sentiments apart and rearrange them for new phrases.  That makes the most of each purchase and we all want to do that, right?!  I layered the fussy cut elements over a shaker panel I made with stacked star die cuts.  I used the same dies to cut two pieces of white fun foam to build up the star layers in the shaker and some upcycled die cut packaging for the acetate.  I hope this card makes you smile as you celebrate this 4th of July and you will try some of these ideas yourself.  Hugs, Autumn

 

Here is last year's 4th of July card I made with Darkroom Door stamps: Sketched Leaves and Garden Birds mixed with the Sketchy Stars.  Such fun!  Posted HERE.

Summer Ocean Card

 

 

Hello crafty friends! Ericka with Strangely Creative here and today I have a quick summery ocean card I made using Darkroom Door and Visible Image.  I started by stamping the Darkroom Door Frame Stamp Burnt Edge. I then made a mask of the stamp so that I could create an ocean scene around it.

 

I then took the Visible Image Ride The Waves stamp and used Hunkydory Prism Brush Markers and colored the waves in different blues and stamped them multiple times. I also stamped the sailboat included in the set and colored up the sky.

I then stamped the Darkroom Door Open Sea quote stamp in Versafine Claire Medieval Blue and clear heat embossed it. I love this quote and the curly script.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend dreaming of the sea!

Don't stop playing by Charmaine Canham

I planned on making a journal page using these adorable stamps,
 but then I decided to make a mini journal page and
turned that into a  greeting card instead.

I stamped two Darkroom Door - Frame Stamp - Spiral Notebook images.
This will serve as the journal with two
pieces glued to one another. 

Stamp and cut out two girls from
 Carabelle Studio - Rubber Cling Stamp Set A6 - Face It - Kate Crane .
I colored them with Copic Markers. 

I like to use washi tape and acrylic paint in
 my journals; decorate one side.
Use your fingers to apply the paint. PLAY!

The other side with this sentiment from 
Darkroom Door - Quote Stamp - Playing Quote Stamp - Red Rubber Cling Stamp

with Versafine Onyx Black. Also,
adhere the two girls to the page on the left. 

Place the now one-piece journal onto an
A2 card base a little lopsided.
Cut off all the edges. And you are done.

A quick and fun card that took about 25 minutes to make.

Talk soon,

Charmaine
