Better Things

Hi there! 

I have a pretty card to share today, using a beautiful stamp from the February release 'S896 Poppy Arrangement'.  

This card includes a fun background stamp 'S545 Crosshatch' and a beautiful sentiment 'SDX063 Better Things'. I love this sentiment - it's perfect for that time you just don't know what to say to someone special, and it's only $3.95!!!. Coloring was done with Copic Markers





 


I'm pleased with the way this turned out - hope that you like it, as well!

We have TWO February 'Gotta Have it All' Bundles!  The first bundle is shown below. Here's what you'll get:

My 10 Minute Pick of the Week

 Hi everyone!

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


So...have you ever needed a card for a missed design team deadline? (Asking for a friend) 
Last night, Wendy, the owner of Repeat Impressions (my boss! gulp) messaged me and thought perhaps she had lost my POTW post, because she couldn't find it. Truth is...I wigged out!  I created a POTW for my NEXT turn, but forgot one for this post. So, there was a mad dash this a.m. to create a post that wasn't too photo heavy, as Wendy will have to pull everything together at the last minute!

Here's what I needed for my 10 minute creation:

A card base (grabbed a pre-cut, pre-scored base)
A white panel
Several colors of ink
Black Ink, and stamps


For this card, I just took that darling Fern stamp, and began randomly stampin it on the white panel, until I thought enough was enough. I then added the dots, and finished with the sentimen.
The panel was adhered to the card base, and I was truly finished, and had things put away in 10 minutes!




Hope you like this - Give it a try with any of your fun stamps!

 For this week only (February 22 - February 28th), get 20% off the stamps used in my creation above when you use the coupon code POTW22221.

Thanks for stopping by today!

I am entering this card in the Turner Syndrome Blog hop!  There are a few days left to enter - 23 sponsors, some of the design team members are giving prizes. My prize is a $30 gift card to Technique Junkies Stamps!!! Check it out HERE.

Hugs and blessings,

Wine a Little, Laugh a Lot

 Hi there! 

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I'd like to share two fun cards that I created, with some new release products!  

Both cards today use 'SD1057 Wine a Little'. What fun is this?  I'm sure we all know someone we could send one of these to! 

This first card has 'SD1007 Artistic Swipe' in the background. I LOVE this stamp, and will be using it often!  I used my Ink Blending Brushes and A Colorful Life 'Faded Petals' stencil, and voila! Very quick, fun card for someone special!




And here is the second card. I used another new release 'S896 Poppy Arrangement' to 'frame' the sentiment. Isn't it pretty?  Coloring was done with Copic Markers, and a bit of white gel pen. Used some glossy accents on the wine glass and flowers to add some shine. I used Ink Blending Brushes to fill in the white space, and love the way it turned out!



We have TWO February 'Gotta Have it All' Bundles!  The first bundle is shown below. Here's what you'll get:

Get Well Challenge at The House that Stamps Built

 Hi there, crafty friends!

It's time for another Repeat Impressions Stamps challenge at The House that Stamps Built. Wendy has challenged us to use a theme of 'Get Well' this week.

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



I stamped the Vertical flowers twice, leaving room in the center for the sentiment. An edge punch finished the top and bottome edges of the focal panel. The last addition was a couple pieces of Washi tape. I like the way this turned out!

This was a fun challenge, and I hope you'll all join in! We all need Get Well cards in our stash!

 We hope you will create a card that has a focus on today’s 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!

Let's Go to the Movies

Hi there! 

I have a few fun cards to share today, using the '#SS132 Go to the Movies' set. What a fun set this is - there are 7, yes SEVEN stamps in this set! 

This card also uses 'S895 Cinema Pattern' for the background panel. Is this not nostalgic? Oh my goodness, as I colored each little part of this, it reminded me of days gone by! Coloring was done  with Copic Markers.




And here is the second card. The background was made with the A Colorful Life 'Baby It's Cold' stencil, and negative strips cut out from the Go to the Movies set. 



The last card was made by stamping and fussy cutting4 sets of the 'tickets' from the 'Go to the Movies Stamp set. Everything was distressed, and a bit of skinny gold Washi tape was added for a bit of pizazz!

We have TWO February 'Gotta Have it All' Bundles!  The first bundle is shown below. Here's what you'll get:

Feel the Love at The House that Stamps Built...

 Hi there, crafty friends!

It's time for another Repeat Impressions Stamps challenge at The House that Stamps Built. Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions' challenged us to create a 'LOVE' themed card this week.  What a fitting challenge for the 10th of February! 

Rather than a Valentine card, I changed things up a bit, and just made a 'Love' card. I went for clean and simple. A white panel was dry embossed, and then an Ink Blending Brush was used to brush on some yellow Distress Oxide Ink. Then I took a yellow sparkle pen, and colored every other sun ray. The last step was to stamp my sentiment, mat it, and ta-da!!!

Here's what I made using this Repeat Impressions Stamp:


Hope you like it!


This was a fun challenge, and I hope you'll all join in!
