Swirly Snails

It's Swirly Snails day here on my blog today!

This is a fun background stamp in the new release at Technique Junkies this month.

I created two cards to show how versatile a background stamp can be!

For the first card, I used the stamp as intended - a background. The Swirly Snails, were stamped onto red cardstock with Versamark, and heat embossed with black powder. The sentiment is from the last release, Good Vibes - this is a great set, with 8 fun sentiments. The sentiment was stamped, heat embossed, and matted with black. It was adhered over the 2 bottom left snails on the background stamp.

The next card was a bit outside the box!  I die cut this fun frame in a pretty, happy pink cardstock. 

I stamped just one line of snails for the top row, then using the Four Little Sentiments set, I stamped four 'Hello's, and cut them to line up and fit in the bottom three squares. I loved this fun designer paper, and felt it made a great background panel for the card. Hope you like it!!!

Have a great weekend! I'll see you again on Sunday, with a bit of a 'crabby' card!!!

Inspiration Palette at The House that Stamps Built

Happy Wednesday!

It’s challenge day at the Repeat Impressions blog, The House that Stamps Built, and we have a new Inspiration Palette Challenge for you. Here is the Inspiration Palette that Wendy gave us this week:

I was drawn in by the colors, so I inked up some strips of cardstock with Copic Markers, adhered the strips like bricks, and created this fun card, using these Repeat Impressions Stamps:

9900 Hello series

2617 D Tiny Bird (flight)

2614 D Tiny Bird (front)

Hope you like it!

Now it’s your turn!

A few more never seen items...

Happy Saturday!

Here are a few more items that have never seen blogland!

Give me a shout if you have questions, otherwise, enjoy!

First, this is a rack that my BFF Shirley's hubby built to hold my wooden stamps (well half of them, anyway)!  I love having them where I can see them, but use wooden stamps so seldom anymore. The rack is fabulous, and Wayne did a wonderful job.

Another effort using Yupo Paper, Alcohol Inks, and Alcohol Lift-Off Ink Pad

Thanks for stopping by!
