More Creative Visions Projects...

Hello!

I have a couple more cards to share with you, 

from my August DT assignments for Creative Vision Stamps.

Here's what I made:

I must have really loved this rose stamp, as I bought it this summer at the Collinsville show,

and then ordered it for my August DT cards!  Lol...my friend Shirley got a nice

red rubber gift package!  This is called 'Rose' and comes with FOUR different sized

images!!!

Here's another Sassy girl!  This set is called 'Wrinkled'.

Isn't she a hoot?  I stand at the mirror and do that very thing sometimes.

Bet some of you do, too!!!

I'll be back to share a couple more soon!

Repeat Impressions Project of the Week - Dry Embossing with a Twist...

It's Monday, and you know what that means at the Repeat Impressions blog,

The House that Stamps Built - it's time for a Project of the Week.

Each week, one of our designers brings you a fun project, and today

it's my turn!  We are going to do some Dry Embossing 'with a twist'!

For this project, I have used these Repeat Impressions Stamps:

4405-K Dragonfly Deco

102-F Dragonfly

Let's get started...

Once you choose an image, stamp it, color it, and fussy cut.

I stamped the two dragonflies repeatedly, not knowing how many

I might use.

Next, gather your layers.  You will need a card base, a white panel, and a colored mat.

Now, take you white panel and lay your images on the panel, where you

think you're going to want them. Once you have them in place,

adhere them to your white panel using a few drops of glue on each image.

Once your glue is dry, place your white panel into an embossing folder, and run

it through your embossing machine.

When you take your panel out, here is what it looks like. Sort of resembles

a piece of fine, printed linen, right?

Now all you have to do is assemble your layers, and voila! A beautiful card!

So....what else can you emboss?

I've embossed a ribbon....

a paper napkin...

a piece of transparency (had to lay the marker on it to get it to lay flat!)

and, a piece of vellum (you can see my removable tape underneath :)

I've also been told you can emboss other things, like fabric (spritz with water first),

fun foam, etc....

Give it a try! You will soon be embossing whatever isn't glued down!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

We'd love to see your creations, and you could win some Repeat Impressions Stamps!

Happy Fall...

I'm excited to share a pretty fall card with you.

For my card today, I used these Great Impressions Stamps:

F243 Happy Fall

H219 Harvest Cart

Here is my card:

This Happy Fall sentiment, is actually a vertical stamp. I stamped and colored, and
then cut the letters apart for this card.

See you next Saturday with another project featuring some amazing stamps from Great Impressions!

Creative Vision Stamps Projects

Hey there!

I've got some news to share with you!

Between dear hubby's surgery in July, and my surgery in August, I totally forgot

to share that I am on the Summer 2015 Design Team for Creative Vision Stamps!

This is taking some getting used to, as we simply make cards to mail to the owner,

who then uses them on her convention/stamp show display boards.

I've always enjoyed working with the Creative Vision Stamps. Laura Bastian,

the owner, has some pretty unique designs, and some pretty funny sentiment

stamps (some are for adults only).  Her animal, flower, and scene stamps are just

beautiful, and many come two to a package, each one being the same stamp

in two sizes.

Anyway....my cards for August were mailed last month, and I'll be sharing them

with you in the next few weeks.  I'm mailing my September cards soon, and

will share them when I get some free time to do so.

Here are a couple of my August designs:

I simply could NOT get this to photograph well!  I used Congratulations in

the center of the framing.  This is from the set 'Simply Said'. It contains

Congratulations, Happy Birthday, and Get Well Soon.

This sassy, sunburned girl is from the 'Summer Lovin' set. I had fun giving her

a bit of sun, and some shiny glasses. The clouds are felt.

I'll be back with a couple more soon!

Thanks for dropping by - hope you will pop over to the

You've Been Booed!!!

Happy Saturday!

It's my day to share some Great Impressions fun with you!

I decided to use a cute little ghost today, and I hope

you like him (her?) as much as I do!

For this card, I used:

C455 Halloween Ghost

B236 Booed!

There are little ghosties everywhere!!!

I sure miss having kids at home during the holidays!

OOPS! I just realized I have a cute teensy orange bow that was to go

in the blank space above the sentiment.  Tee hee... guess

you'll need to use your imagination!

See you next Saturday with another project featuring some amazing stamps from Great Impressions! 

I hope you will check out our current Great Impressions Challenge, and if you use some Great Impressions stamps make sure you link them up in our Customer Gallery!

Great Impressions sponsors Aud Sentiments...

Good Morning!

I'm popping in today to share a bright and happy card with you.

Great Impressions is sponsoring the Aud Sentiments Challenge #140,

and I've made this 'happy' card for their challenge.

For this project, I've used these Great Impressions Stamps:

E878 Happy

J119 Elegant Butterflies

I just love the way this turned out. I was a bit leery of the color combination, but once it was finished, I was pleased!  Sometimes it's hard to think outside our box, and use non-traditional

colors, but what fun the results are!!!

Here's my card:

Hope you will pop over to the Aud Sentiments Blog, and take part in their challenge!

While you're out and about, be sure to take part in the monthly challenge at

the Great Impressions Blog!!!  I can't wait to see your fun

creations!
