Designer Choice Challenge at The House that Stamps Built

 Hi there, crafty friends!

It's time for another Repeat Impressions Stamps Designer's Choice challenge at The House that Stamps Built. Heather is our hostess this month. She has challenged the team to 'use pumpkins' on our cards this week!  

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

3214 G Thanksgiving Blessings

514 I Prize Pumpkin

I stamped, colored, and fussy cut the Prize Pumpkin 3 times. Found some pretty new designer paper and layered it on. Stamped the Sentiment between the layers, and added the pumpkins. The top pumpkin is adhered using pop dots for some dimension. Why, oh why, didn't I think to add a cute twine bow?  Oh, well...next time!

This was a fun challenge, and I hope you'll all join in! Get those Repeat Impressions' stamps out, and get started on your 'Recycled Item' cards!!!

 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!

Technique Junkies November Release Blog Hop

Happy NOVEMBER Release Day! 

We have New Stamps and stencils in the Technique Junkies line! 

This month we are proud to offer 2 new Technique Junkies stencils, also!

Here's what I made:

This card uses #SD1054 Love, Laughter and Coffee, and #S887 Coffee Stains.

I made the background by stamping on Kraft Cardstock. The coffee mug was actually a TINY die that I punched out, laid on my copier and enlarged until it was big enough to hold the sentiment. I cut it our of white cardstock, used some masking and ink blending brushes to create the center section, then stamped the sentiment. The lid was enlarged, cut out, scored, and adhered to the top of the coffee cup. Love the way this one turned out!

This next card was created with #SD1055 French Script Ballerina, and #SDX180 Dreaming with your feet. The image was stamped onto white cardstock, then masked off. Once masked, I used the Shining Star Stencil from the October release. Then, using the same ink color and the Ink Blending Brushes, I blended the panel and card base, prior to removing the mask. Voila!

Dreaming of a White Christmas

  Hi there!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I'd like to share two beautiful cards that I created, using some gorgeous October release stamps!

This first card front was stamped using 'Snow Covered Pines', with a beautiful blue ink. The panel was trimmed, and using the Ink Blending Brushes and a bit of blue ink was blended over the edges of the panel. The sentiment from 'Oh Christmas Tree' was stamped, and the edges of the sentiment panel was also blended prior to adhering to focal panel. The panel was adhered to a white card base. To finish the card, a white glitter pen was used for some of the snowflakes in the sky, and on the tree tops.

Next up, 'Brightly Shining' was stamped with Versmark, and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.  The background was also heat embossed using a stencil that is no longer available. The panels were layered, and adhered to a black card base. What a stunning card this made!

Technique Junkies stamps make such beautiful cards!  

This October release is amazing! So glad I could share it with you!

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 this Repeat Impressions Stamp:

3214 G Thanksiving Blessings

Hope you like it!

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Building Beavers

 Hello, my creative friends!

I'm excited to be guest designing for Blue Knight Rubber Stamps for the month of October!

I got to work with this company last year and I very much enjoyed creating with their beautiful, high quality stamps. I was eager to get started with the fun stamps that Lynn Anderson sent me this month.

For this post, I used this Blue Knight Rubber Stamps set:

Building Beavers 11-12-0251

I was asked to use each stamp set in two different ways. So... this first card is stamped and colored right out of the package, with no embellishing. Isn't is a fun image?

(I have to tell on myself here) I was totally done with this image, and just touching up a spot here and there with my Copics, and I drifted off. The marker was apparently quite still in one place on the image. Do you see it?  Yep, the blooper on the tail of the beaver on the right!  

This second card uses the same stamp set, but with some changes (and no bloopers), to make the two cards look different.  

For the above card, I changed up to a 5" square shape, and added some strips of Washi Tape, along with one of the nice sentiments from the set.

Hope you like it, and are inspired to check out the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps Blog (link below) for more inspiration from the design team!

The Smallest Bell

  Hello out there!

It's Fri-yay...thanks for stopping by!

I have two fun, Technique Junkies cards to share with you today using some wonderful October release stamps.

For this first card, I used 'Joyful Jingle', which was heat embossed with Silver embossing powder onto an older stamp 'Floral Frame Card', which as also heat embossed in silver.  I trimmed the focal panel, blended some pretty inks onto the panel using the 'Ink Blending Brushes', and adhered it to a card base. Ta-done! So easy!

This next card was fun.  

Using the 'Candy Cane' stamp, and a homemade wreath builder template, I stamped the candy cane onto a 4" x 4" white panel.  Colored the candy canes with Copic markers, and used Glossy Accents on them to make them realistic looking. The panel was adhered to card base, and I used a stamp from the 'Santa Mail' set, (which I colored with Copics and fussy cut), and ahered it over the center using dimensional foam.  To finish the card, 'Dotted Merry Christmas' was stamped, matted, and adhered to the card base. Isn't it fun?
