For my Kiss Me card I used an acrylic block and distress inks to create the watercolor background before stamping the image and sentiment.
 
For my Plywood card I raided my husband's workshop for a few washers to embellish my card!  I stamped the plywood image using Memento Cocoa ink onto Kraft cardstock and cut it out using the Sizzix Top Note die.  Cardstock and designer papers are from my stash.  Just to clarify - the top panel of designer paper with the tools is the flip side of the bottom panel designer paper!
 
Here's the Design Team:
