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?

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Beautiful Bridge

 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:

Beautiful Bridge 11-08-0249

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

This second card uses the same stamp set, but with some changes, to make the two cards look different.  I'm hoping the above card looks like a summer scene, and the card below looks like an autumn scene! That was my goal, at least!

For the above card, I spotlighted part of the image, by cutting it out of the focal panel, and matting it with the same cardstock as is on the large mat behind the focal image. The spotlighted rectangle is adhered over top of the main image, using foam dots for dimension.

Hope these cards inspire you to check out the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps Blog (link below) for more inspiration from the design team!

Gnome for Christmas

 Hi there!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I'd like to share some fun cards I created with wonderful October Release stamps!

These cards feature two awesome new stamp sets, 'Gnome for Christmas', and 'Christmas Tree Sextuplet'.

This first card front was created using Ink Blending Brushes, and some pretty ink colors, blended over the entire panel.  The sentiment was stamped with Versamark Black ink. The Gnomes and Trees were then stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black, colored with Copic Markers, and fussy cut. The trees were adhered directly to the card front, while the Gnomes were popped up with dimensional foam.  Aren't they cute?

Next, I made a set of three cards, using one of the sentiments, and one of the Gnomes on each card. I also had SO much fun with the new stencil 'A Colorful Life - Cloud Edger'.

These cards were all so much fun to create! Technique Junkies stamps make such awesome cards!  

This October release is amazing! Can't wait to share more!

Don't forget!!! You can always save 10% on any order by entering TJ10Patti at checkout.

Now, be sure to head over to the Technique Junkies store and check out the incredible new stamps this month! 

Don't forget about the October 'Gotta Have it All Bundle'!  You get all 15 stamps, and 2 stencils!!! The cost is normally $144.78, but the discounted price is $108.59!

Tic Tac Toe at The House that Stamps Built

 Hi everyone - Happy Wednesday!

It's time for a new Tic-Tac-Toe challenge for Repeat Impressions.

Here is the inspiration board that Wendy gave us to work with:

My choice was Black Cats, Gate Fold Card, and Embossing.

Today, I used these Repeat Impressions Stamps:

2308 E Bats

2322 G Black Cat

1139 F Halloween

Here's my creation:

and here is a view with the gatefold opened up. The left side of the sentiment strip was adhered with two small pop dots, while the right was adhered with two small velcro dots. Prior to mailing, I will add a white panel to the inside for my message. One of the 'grands' will probably get this one!

This was pretty easy (once my brain cells kicked into gear)! I actually had to call my bestie, Shirley, for a gentle reminder on measurements for the gatefold! 

Now it’s your turn! Create something using the Tic-Tac-Toe board above, and link it up 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!

Check out my sidebar to see how you can save money on your RI orders!

Lots of things are on sale at Repeat Impressions, so hurry on over and take a peek!!!

Now, it's time to see what my fellow Rock Stars have created!

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Cute Koala

 Hello, 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:

Cute Koala 11-12-0250

I was asked to use each stamp set in two different ways. My first card is stamped and colored right out of the package, with no embellishing. Isn't is a sweet image? All coloring is done with Copic Markers, and the highlights are done with a white gel pen. After the image was stamped and colored, I gently blended on the sky, and blended a second time with the same blue Distress Oxide Ink, but used an oval stencil to sort of 'frame' the cute little critter.

This second card uses the same stamp set, but with some changes, to make the two cards look different.  I used a cloud stencil to give the sky an evening look, changed up the color of the Koala, and used no white gel pen on any of the image.

Hope this inspires you to check out the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps Blog (link below) for more inspiration from the design team!
