All is Calm

 Hello Friends!

I'm up on the Technique Junkies blog to share a pretty card, using some awesome stamps from Technique Junkies.

Here's what I made:

I used Snow Covered Pines, All is Calm, and Snowman to create this card. First, the trees were stamped onto a white panel, using a dark blue ink. Then, I used a glue pen and some irridescent glitter to give the trees some winter snow. The snowman was stamped, colored with Copic markers, fussy cut, and popped up in front of the trees. I added a bit of white 'fluff' from my stash to his hat and pom pom. The sentiment was stamped in blue on a white scrap, and adhered to the top left corner of the card, and also on the envelope for fun.

So glad you stopped by today!

Words as Focal Point

Hello!

It's time for a new challenge at The House that Stamps Built! Our challenge for this week is 'Use your sentiment/words as your focal point'.

Here's what I made:

This photo shows the glitter paper a bit better!

I stamped the sentiment repeatedly on the card base on a diagonal slant, prior to creating my scene!  I used that fabulous glitter paper again for my hill and trees. It does not flake off, and is the best thing since sliced bread - seriously! 

I used these Repeat Impressions' stamps:

4716 K - Snow Holiday

2006 H Let it Snow

Let it Snow!

Hello!

It's time for a new challenge at The House that Stamps Built! Our challenge for this week is 'Black, White + One Other Color'.

Here's what I made:

I stamped on some fun glitter paper for the printer that I found at Wal-Mart, thanks to my friend Shirley telling me to go look! The hat, bird, and scarf were colored with a Spectrum Noir Glitter Pen. I added some red glittery rick rack washi tape, and cut a section of the white glitter paper in a zig zag pattern to fit between the red pieces.

Christmas will be here before we know it!

Night Snow

Hello there!

I have a pretty card to share today!

Isn't this one of the prettiest stamps you've ever seen?  Wow! Just WoW!  I stamped Night Snow using a deep blue ink, added a strip of 1/8" Washi tape, matted panel with white, and adhered to a deep blue card base. The sentiment from my new favorite sentiment set Four Little Sentiments, was stamped on white, with a strip of Washi Tape below, for a bit of sparkle.

YES, the fence is part of this stamp! Gorgeous, right?

Super easy! Give it a try!

So glad you stopped by today!

Think Snow...

Happy Wednesday!

Today is a Repeat Impressions' Designer's Choice Challenge, at The House that Stamps Built.

Melissa Cash is our talented challenge hostess.

Melissa chose the theme 'Think Snow' for her DCC challenge.

While I'm totally NOT ready to think about snow yet, I do have a lot of fun

creating with it!  Here is what I created:

This card uses Repeat Impressions 'Let it Snow #2006-H', and Repeat Impressions 'Holiday Preparations #2004-L'

To create this card, I made my white A2 card base, and stamped the sentiment.  I then took a Copic BG10 marker and made snow dots everywhere!  The little snowflake in the sentiment was highlighted with the marker as well.  The incredibly fun image was stamped on another piece of white cardstock.  I took a black marker, and brought all of the snowdrift 'lines' all the way out to the edges of the cardstock, colored the image, and yep, more dots!  Then, some glitter was added to the snowflake, some of the dots, and the snowdrift lines.  Fun flock was added to the hat for some additional dimension. After it was finished, I fussy cut around it all, and popped it up on the card base.  Oh, what fun this was to create!  Someone VERY special will be getting this in the mail!

Now, it's time to see what my fellow Rock Stars have been up to, while they've been thinking 'snow'!

Designer Choice Challenge - Winter

Hello...

It's time for another great Designer Choice Challenge (DCC) for Repeat Impressions Stamps!

We are thrilled to have an amazing Guest Designer here with us today at

The House that Stamps Built!  Robin Clendenning, is helping us out today, 

and has chosen 'Winter' as her DCC theme.

I'm not quite ready for the snow to fly yet, but I do love creating for winter, so

this was a fun challenge.  I decided to keep it clean and simple.

Here is my card:

I used 2006-H Let it Snow, and 8805-K Snowflakes for this card. I actually cut the flakes apart, making 5 individual stamps - love it!

A bit of the card was masked off on the left, and a lot on the right.  The first batch of flakes were stamped with Versamark, and heat embossed with white embossing powder.  Next, I sponged on some distress inks until I had a color I was happy with.  Then I came back in with some navy pigment ink, stamped the sentiment, and filled in the open spaces with more snowflakes.  The final step was adding a wee half-snowball to the sentiment.  Very quick card!

We hope you will join us by creating a winter project, and entering it in Robin's DCC Challenge, at The House that Stamps Built!

Now it's time to check out the inspiration that my talented Rock Star teammates have created for you!
