Pick of the Week

Hi everyone!

It's my turn to share a Pick of the Week at The House that Stamps Built. The Repeat Impressions Stamps that I picked to showcase are:

419 J Another Year

3405 C Random Hearts

2511 H Even When

2526 J Travel Light

2812 G Hogs & Kisses

1222 G Love Stencil

It's that time of year, right?....the time when you scramble for a Valentine, or Anniversary/Wedding card...  I thought it would be fun to share a way to create several cards from on small square sheet!  Grab a cup of coffee, and we'll make some stuff!

Here's what I made from one 6" x 6" sheet of stamped & embossed cardstock:

Let's get started!

First you need a 6" x 6" square of patterned paper or cardstock (I chose cardstock!)

Next, choose your stamps. I wanted to make this an all over design, creating my own patterned paper, so I chose the heart from the Love Stencil set.

Stamp the image randomly all over your sheet, using Versamark Ink. I stamped about 1/4 of the sheet at a time, and sprinkled on my embossing powder as I went. Once all your images are stamped, and powder sprinkled on, heat emboss your sheet. It will look like this:

Isn't this pretty???

Next, cut your sheet as follows. I first cut a 4" strip, all the way down. 

Then I cut that into a 4" x 4" piece, which left a 4" x 2" section.

I neglected to photograph that I also cut the 4" x 4" square diagonally, forming two triangle shaped pieces.

Now, you are left with a 2" strip. 

Lay that on your trimmer with the long edge at the top. Cut at 3", 4", and 5".

Your sheet will now look like this:

You're ready to create!
Here are the 5 cards that I was able to create using these bits and pieces, and some fun and amazing Repeat Impressions stamps:

Ta-da, - Ta-done!

Wouldn't this make a nice gift set for someone?

Hope you will give this a try - it really is easy and fast, makes such a fun project! It's also a great way to use those scraps of cardstock that we tend to save ration hoard!!!

Anything Goes at The House that Stamps Built

Merry Christmas!!!

Today is a new challenge for Repeat Impressions Stamps.

It’s an 'Anything Goes' challenge at the RI blog, The House that Stamps Built, we hope you will join us!

Here's what I made using these Repeat Impressions Stamps:

7506-W Daily Red Flip Set

Flip Fancy Die Set

The cold weather is upon us, so I thought I'd create with something a bit cheerful today!

I personally, don't drink anymore. Not a prude, but some surgery I had has made alcohol a risk for me, so I choose to stay safe.  But....that said, I just can't resist playing with stamps this cute now and then!  Aren't they fun???  

The images were all stamped with Memento Ink and colored with Copic markers. I used the Repeat Impressions Flip Fancy Dies to cut out the white pieces and the black mat on the center piece. Hope you enjoy it!

Now it’s your turn!

I was drawn in immediately by these colors and the pattern that the rosettes made. It was hard for me to not look at this photo and try to reproduce exactly what I see (well, in my simple mind's way, anyway!).

Tic-Tac-Toe at The House that Stamps Built

Hi everyone - Happy Wednesday!

It's time for a new Tic-Tac-Toe challenge for Repeat Impressions.

Here is the inspiration board that Wendy gave us to work with:

  

I chose to work with: Silver or Gold, Die Cut, and Stars. I know it's a little late for this card, but think ahead to next January!

Today, I used these Repeat Impressions Stamps:

5140 C Star Silhouette (sm)

5111 H Star Silhouette (lg)

3804 I Happy New Year

3811 Champagne Bottle

3803 Champagne Glass

Here's my creation:

Good golly, this one would NOT photograph nicely!  All of the elements were heat embossed with silver powder, and all matting is metallic silver. I've tried so many times that I almost feel like popping a cork myself!  Lol....no worries - no chance of that happening in this lifetime! 

Now it’s your turn! Create something using the Tic-Tac-Toe board above, and link it up at The House that Stamps Built. Remember, your creation does not have to be made with Repeat Impressions stamps, but if you would like to include our designs we would love to see them! Plus, there’s an added bonus… you will get an additional entry in our random.org drawing for using our stamps in your submissions!

Designer's Choice Challenge at The House that Stamps Built

Happy New Year, everyone!

This is my third post today - if you are looking for my 2 Crafty Critter Crazies post, or my Seasons Givings post, scroll up (or down?) to find it!!

Wow...a new year, a new decade!  And of course, a new challenge at 'The House'!

It's time for another Repeat Impressions Stamps challenge at The House that Stamps Built, and we have a new Designer’s Choice Challenge for you. Shirley is our hostess for the month, and has challenged us all to use our RI stamps to bring back a childhood memory! Please join us in our challenge, and create something using the theme: "Create a card using an image that brings back a childhood memory.".  

This was an easy one for me. We grew up a bit on the poorer side, so most of our fun was created by just being outside and doing 'things'. One of the things I loved most about childhood in Chicago was ice skating!

Here's what I made using these Repeat Impressions Stamps:

2006 H Let it Snow

4714 L Snow Skating

I did a bit of coloring with Copic markers, added some gel pen dots on hat and scarf, fussy cut the image, and adhered a die cut of metallic silver (ice rink, right?) at the base of the image.  For the card base, I found a fun border die, and stenciled a pattern in the background. Popped up the image and voila!

This was a fun challenge - thanks Shirley!!!

 And now it’s your turn!

We hope you will create a card that has a focus on today’s DCC theme, and enter it in our challenge at The House that Stamps Built!  Remember, your creation does not have to be made with Repeat Impressions stamps, but if you would like to include our designs we would love to see them!  Plus, there’s an added bonus… you will get an additional entry in our random.org drawing for using our stamps in your submissions!

One lucky person this month will win a $25 Repeat Impressions Gift Certificate!
