Happy New Year!

Hello!

It's time for a new challenge at The House that Stamps Built! Our challenge for this week is 'New Year'. 

This is a sad post...

Wendy, the owner at Repeat Impresssions', lost her husband recently, and is pausing things while she works out all the details, and gets her life in order. This may be our last RI post for a few months, or our last RI post period. Wendy is an amazing, generous, beautiful woman, who we all consider a friend, and love dearly, and we wish her all the best as she goes through these difficult days ahead.

Here's what I made:

I used these Repeat Impressions' stamps:

3804 I - Happy New Year

2106 G - Star Cluster

Let's see your projects! Remember, you don't HAVE to use Repeat Impressions Stamps, but if you do, you have double the chance of winning!

Visitor from Heaven

 Hi there!

I have a couple of pretty Technique Junkies cards to share today. The first card uses 'SD1051 Cardinal from Heaven' from the November Release. 

The sentiment was stamped with black ink on white cardstock. Using the 'Cloud Edger' Stencil and Ink Blending Brushes, I added a few airy clouds. The image was die cut, as well as a red mat panel. I used a fun circle die with spikes, and just cut a couple of sections, which were adhered between the two panels. This panel was adhered to a piece of pretty patterned paper, and then to the card base. Easy peasy, and so pretty!

Next up is a pretty New Year's card.  To make this card, I cut one panel of black cardstock, and one panel of striped designer paper. Each of the panels was cut on the diagonal.  The Technique Junkies' 'Shining Star Stencil' was inked up with Versamark Ink, and heat embossed with silver embossing powder. Isn't it SO pretty?  

Technique Junkies stamps make such beautiful cards, and it's so exciting that they are carryng their own stencils now! 

This November  release is amazing! So glad I could share it with you!  Don't forget that you will get 10% off any purchase by using my code, TJ10Patti. 

Be sure to head over to the Technique Junkies store and check out the incredible new stamps this month! 

Also, don't forget about our 'Gotta Have it All Bundle'!  This bundle inclueds all 15 stamps/stamp sets, and the 2 stencils from the November 2020 Technique Junkies New Stamp Release!!! You get 15 stamps, and 2 stencils! This would normally be $130.78, but the discounted price is $99.99!!!  You'll save $30.79!   SKU: NOV20GHIA

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!
