Between Coffee and Wine

Hello friends!

Today, I'm sharing another fun card that I made, using a new stamp, Between Coffee and Wine, from the April release at Technique Junkies.

 I know a lot of coffee and wine drinkers! Unfortunately, I cannot drink either, but I know some folks that may get a card with this fun stamp!

Here's what I made:

I began by using an older background stamp, Coffee Stain. This was stamped onto Kraft cardstock with brown ink, matted onto blue, and adhered to a Kraft card base. Next, Between Coffee and Wine was stamped onto Kraft cardstock using brown ink, then again onto white cardstock using blue ink. The white coffee cup was fussy cut, and popped up on card with a dimensional dot. The panel was matted with blue, and adhered to card front.

Someone you know drinks coffee and wine, and 'NEEDS' a card made with this stamp!

Age...and Wine

Hi there!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I'd like to share two fun cards that I created, with some new release products!

Both cards today use S875 Dotted Squares. What a fun background stamp this is - it's so versatile. I've used it two different ways.

Here's what I made:

This card features:
S875 Dotted Squares 

SDX183 Age Gets Better 

SS126 Gnome for Christmas

For the above card, I used strips of post-it tape, and stamped several different colors on an angle. The sentiment was stamped and matted. The 'wine drinking gnome' (lol...) was stamped onto a scrap of white cardstock, colored with Copic Markers, and fussy cut. He was 'grounded' with a scrap of the same blue as the mat and the card base.

This card features: 

S875 Dotted Squares 

SS129 To Ride a Horse (set of 5)

This time, the Dotted Squares background was stamped with black ink, and adhered to black mat, then card base. The sentiment was stamped in black, matted with black, and popped up over top of a pink 'tail', and a bit of bling was added for balance...and bling!

So glad you stopped by today!

Wine a Little, Laugh a Lot

 Hi there! 

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I'd like to share two fun cards that I created, with some new release products!  

Both cards today use 'SD1057 Wine a Little'. What fun is this?  I'm sure we all know someone we could send one of these to! 

This first card has 'SD1007 Artistic Swipe' in the background. I LOVE this stamp, and will be using it often!  I used my Ink Blending Brushes and A Colorful Life 'Faded Petals' stencil, and voila! Very quick, fun card for someone special!

And here is the second card. I used another new release 'S896 Poppy Arrangement' to 'frame' the sentiment. Isn't it pretty?  Coloring was done with Copic Markers, and a bit of white gel pen. Used some glossy accents on the wine glass and flowers to add some shine. I used Ink Blending Brushes to fill in the white space, and love the way it turned out!

We have TWO February 'Gotta Have it All' Bundles!  The first bundle is shown below. Here's what you'll get:

And here is the 'Gotta Have it All' Bundle Two:

Calorie Refund

Hi there! 

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I'd like to share two fun cards that I created, with some new release products!  

My first card uses 'SD1065 Calorie Refund' and 'S890 Whimsical Coffee Background'. I couldn't get a good photo of this, even with my OTT light, but the background is stampd with brown ink, on kraft cardstock, and there are several places that I've colored in with a red marker. Perhaps clicking on it to enlarge it may show the coloring. The sentiment was stamped in black ink, and highlighted in gray Copic marker. The 'calorie items' were colored with Copic Markers and some glossy accents were added for yummy shine. Again, the photo doesn't show how yummy these look. Some days are just like that, right???

Here's another fun card. This focal panel 'SD1070 It Takes a Village', was stamped with a wine colored ink. The 'glass' portions were colored with Copic markers, and covered with glossy accents for a look of real glass. The panel was then distressed with a touch of distress ink. The background is a piece of beautiful patterned paper. I already have a recipient in mind for this one!

Don't forget that the January 'Gotta Have it All' Bundle is $94.80. Normally, this would be $126.30 - what a great deal! Here's what you'll get:

So glad you stopped by today!

Anything Goes at The House that Stamps Built

Merry Christmas!!!

Today is a new challenge for Repeat Impressions Stamps.

It’s an 'Anything Goes' challenge at the RI blog, The House that Stamps Built, we hope you will join us!

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

7506-W Daily Red Flip Set

Flip Fancy Die Set

The cold weather is upon us, so I thought I'd create with something a bit cheerful today!

I personally, don't drink anymore. Not a prude, but some surgery I had has made alcohol a risk for me, so I choose to stay safe.  But....that said, I just can't resist playing with stamps this cute now and then!  Aren't they fun???  

The images were all stamped with Memento Ink and colored with Copic markers. I used the Repeat Impressions Flip Fancy Dies to cut out the white pieces and the black mat on the center piece. Hope you enjoy it!

Now it’s your turn!

We hope you will create a card that has a focus on today’s challenge, 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!

Check out my sidebar - grab the code to save money on your RI orders!

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

Age and Wine...

Hello, and Happy Thursday!

I had a bit of time to play yesterday, and had purchased, but not yet used, this fun digi image from "From the Heart Stamps".  We have two friends that really enjoy visiting wineries,

and since it's not really our thing, we have a lot of fun razzing them about it.

This digi is called Birdbrain Wine.  It's colored with Copic Markers,

and I used up some patterned papers from my scrap piles.

I'm going to enter this in the "From the Heart Stamps" Challenge,

which is a sketch challenge...with a twist.  The twist is that you can either

follow this sketch... 

or used a handmade embellishment, OR you can do both!

My handmade embellies are the wee butterflies that I've punched and drawn on.

Thanks for stopping by!
