Mother's Day

Hi there!

Mother's Day is just around the corner, so I thought I would recycle a post from last year!!

I have 2 pretty cards to share today, featuring an older Technique Junkies stamp set #SS071 'You are the World', Set of 3. Seemed perfect timing to share these creations again!

This was so easy to create. The image was stamped in the center of the focal panel, and a flower was stamped on either side. A Colorful Life Designs Stencil 'Damask', was ink blended around the edges with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink. The flowers were colored with Copics, and glossy accents was scribbled onto the flowers. The panel was adhered to a white A2 card base.

Here's the yellow card - you can see the glossy's on this one!

Hope you like them!

So glad you stopped by today,

All About Moms 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. Today's clallenge is 'All About Moms'. We've been challenged to use a mom theme on our projects. 

My mom is no longer with us, but I know lots of moms that could use a paper hug this year!

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

1137 E Mother's Day

The front panel was dry embossed, and inks blended over top. The sentiment was stamped in green, then matted in pink and green, and adhered to focal panel. Very quick and beautiful card!

Hope you like it!

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

 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!

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

You are the World

Hi there!

Edited!  I liked this one so much that I created a yellow one today!

I have a pretty card to share today, featuring an older Technique Junkies stamp set #SS071 'You are the World', Set of 3. It's almost Mother's Day, and this seemed a perfect card to share!

This was so easy to create. The image was stamped in the center of the focal panel, and a flower was stamped on either side. A Colorful Life Designs Stencil 'Damask', was ink blended around the edges with Kitsch Flamingo Ink. The flowers were colored with Copics, and glossy accents was scribbled onto the flowers. The panel was adhered to a white A2 card base.

Here's the yellow card - you can see the glossy's on this one!

Mom

Hi everyone!

Today I have a card to share that I made for the Impression Obsession challenge 'Mom's Rule'.  Mother's Day is always a bit difficult for me, as I lost my mom to cancer in 1999. However, I have a daughter, and daughter-in-law that are both moms, so I usually create for them!

Here's a quick card that I made using the Impression Obsession Die 'Sunflower Background'.

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great week!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hello!

Well, here I am with my Saturday morning post for Great Impressions...

where did the week go?

This week, the Great Impressions' Design Team has been showcasing some beautiful projects for Mother's Day. I had fun this week, stamping, coloring, fussy cutting, and creating with some wonderful GI stamps.

Here's what I made:

To begin, I used Great Impressions B150 Happy Mother's Day, and Great Impressions E576 April Showers Bring May Flowers.

I stamped the sentiment directly onto the patterned paper. The image was stamped onto a piece of white card stock, colored with Copic Markers, and die cut with some nesting dies. I tied a ribbon around the card, and added the layered focal panel with foam squares for some dimension.

A few pretty sequins topped this card off perfectly.

For my next project, I used Great Impressions H251 Tall Tulips.

Here is a front view of the card.  

This view from the side gives a much better perspective of how many tulips there are in this box card!

The back of the card has white card stock, to enable a message to be added.

Here, I am beginning to collapse the box.

This view shows the card completely flat, and ready for mailing.

I found the box card template at Splitcoaststampers, and liked it because it is larger than an A2 card, which allows for a whole LOT of tulips! There are A2 measurements with the directions, but I chose to go with the larger dimensions. The tulips were stamped, colored, and fussy cut about 6 times, to make this beautiful bouquet. I hope the recipient likes it!

If you haven't checked out the GI Blog this week, be sure to go back to Sunday, and see what yummy projects my DT sisters have shared. You will be SO inspired!

Don't forget - about the GI challenges!

A fun challenge for April is still going on.

If you use GI stamps be sure to link up to the customer gallery HERE. 

Be sure to stop by the Great Impressions store (HERE) and treat yourself to a few new stamps!

Did you know shipping is free over $25?! 

That's it for today!
