Valentine Wishes

 Hi there! I have a fun card to share with you today. 

This card uses Technique Junkies 'Valentine Wishes', and 'Valentine Heart Border' and just makes me smile - love the colorful pop of red and black on white, and what a sweet, whimsical sentiment!  

The sentiment was stamped in black and highlighted with a red Copic marker. The background was stamped a few times in red ink, and decorated with red stickles...gotta love sparkle, right? The sentiment was popped up with foam dots and adhered to background panel..

I think this turned out well! This will go to my hubby! I feel so lucky to have him. He had Covid, and became sick the end of November. It was apparently one of the more severe cases. There were a couple of days that I was hoping for the best, but thinking the worst. He's doing better each day, and since he basically missed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's, I think he really deserves a pretty, sparkly card!

I love my Technique Junkies stamps!

Designer's Choice Challenge - Donna chose Hearts!

Happy New Year, everyone!

February brings 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. Donna is our hostess for the month, and has challenged us all to use HEARTS in our projects using our RI stamps. Please join us in our challenge, and create something using the theme: "Hearts".  

There is a lady at church that has been battling Stage 3 breast cancer. She's been fighting this for months and months, and I have yet to hear one tiny complaint come from her. So, this card is for her! She is a daily inspiration for all of us.

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

8417 G Prescription

8420 D You

1210 K Tumbling Hearts

I did a bit of coloring with Spectrum Noir markers, did a little heat embossing and sponging with Distress Oxide Ink, added some ribbon and a sentiment. Voila!

 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!

Now, it's time to see what my DT friends have created!

A couple of cute chicks!

Good morning!

Today is my day to post for the Great Impressions Stamps Blog.

This has been such an incredibly fun month, so far!

I signed up this month to do a Card Swap with Bazzill Papers.  I made ten Valentine's Cards, using the papers that were sent to me.  As soon as I saw the papers, I knew without a doubt, that I wanted to use these cute chicks on my cards!

Stamps: Great Impressions B189 'Love Chicks', D364 "Happy Valentines and Flowers', Bazzill Basics 'Red Devil' DP, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, Copic Markers, Black Colorbok Cardstock, Perfect Layers Tools

 

This was an easy card to create - DH actually cut strips of cardstock for me while I colored...

how cool is that?  And seriously, how can you look at these darling chicks, and that

delightful sentiment without smiling?  Used my Perfect Layers Tools for the nice straight borders (check out my sidebar for details).

Don't forget - you can be the next Guest Designer at the Great Impressions Stamps Blog!

You still have lots of time to take part in the January challenge.  Check out the blog for all of the fun details!  What a great experience it's been - the ladies have all welcomed me so warmly.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Hugs,

Patti J.
