Fun Fold Challenge

  Hi there, crafty friends!

It's time for another Repeat Impressions Stamps challenge at The House that Stamps Built. This week, Wendy has challenged us to use a theme of 'Fun Folds'.

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

2423 L Under the Sea

4009 G In All Things

This is a shadowbox card. 

You just need 2 pcs of cardstock the same size. Score each piece 1/2" and 1" from each side. Cut your opening out of the 'front' piece and glue or staple the ends together after all stamping and embellishing is complete.

 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!

Born to be Wild

 Hi everyone!

It's my turn to share a Pick of the Week at The House that Stamps Built. 

Since Father's Day is coming up soon, I thought it would be fun to re-share one of my favorite Repeat Impressions' cards.

The Repeat Impressions Stamps that I used for this card are:  

9108-G, Born To Be Wild

9120-M, Harley

4320-G, Wild Daisies

A bit of stamping, coloring and layering created a fun focal panel. The panel was mounted onto a dry embossed silver panel, and then adhered to a red card base. Pretty cute, right???

Grab those RI stamps and create something fun!

 For this week only (June 7 - June 13), get 20% off the stamps used in my creation above when you use the coupon code POTW6721.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs and blessings,

All About the Boys

 Hi there, crafty friends!

It's time for another Repeat Impressions Stamps challenge at The House that Stamps Built. With Father's Day right around the corner, Wendy has challenged us to use a theme of 'All About the Boys' this week.

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

9713 E Bubbles

9718 G Plant

9716 H Fish Face

Our grandson has been taking swimming lessons. While we were in DC a few weeks ago, we were able to watch the kids swim. They are SO good in the water! Anyway, Nate got promoted into the next class, so there was a definite need for a hooray card for our 'little fish'!!!

Here's what I made:

Tried for a better photo, but just could NOT get the lighting right for this card. Oh well, you get it, right???

And here is the way the card opens up. Isn't this adorable? I found lots of ideas on Pinterest, and sort of designed my own shape and size here. Note: the sentiments on the inside of the card are not RI stamps, but the bubbles, plant, and fish definitely are!!!

Here's a close up shot of the silly fish face. 

This was a fun challenge, and I hope you'll all join in! We all need some man cards in our stash!

 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!

Framed Seascape

Hello!

It's June 1st - Release day at Technique Junkies! We have some awesome new stamps for you, and all of them are 15% off through June 8th! No codes are needed, just put them in your shopping cart and the discount will be applied at checkout. 

Here is the Gotta Have it all Bundle, and a little preview of the new stamps:

I've never created much with sea or beach related stamps, so I'd be lying if I said that this month didn't scare me a little (okay, a lot!).  All three of my cards use the image #S927 'Framed Seascape' and sentiments from the new set #SD1137 'Ocean Frame Sentiments'.

Without further chatter, here are my cards for today's hop:

For this first card, I used some blue alcohol inks and a silver mixative, and created a background. Then, I simply stamped the image and sentiment using black Staz-On ink and my stamp positioner. I'm pleased with the final outcome and hope you like it!

This time, I decided to get my Copics out, and color the scene. Once I had everything the way I wanted it, I fussy cut the entire panel, and popped it up on a card base with some dimensional foam. I'm pretty happy with this one, too!

Last, but not least, I went with simple again. I found a piece of designer paper and heat embossed the image and sentiment using Versamark Ink and white embossing powder. And...of course, my stamp positioner! Again, I fussy cut the panel, and adhered it directly to the card base.

So....which one is your favorite?

I hope you like these fun new releases, and can't wait for you to see the rest of this release!

Secret Garden

 Hi there!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog. I have two cards to share, featuring the 'S903 Secret Garden' background stamp. What a dream to color this background - just look at all of the beautiful details!

For this first card, the background was stamped onto white cardstock, and colored with Copic Markers. The focal panel was mounted onto a light green card base. The sentiment were three words from the #SD1084 Plant Smiles stamp. These were fussy cut, and popped up onto the card front.

And here is the second card:

It was colored with Copics, nearly the same as the above card. Using one of my favorite sentiment sets, #SS02b 'Simple Sentiments Set 2, Style b', I stamped and matted a sentiment. It was adhered to the focal panel, and this panel was adhered to a green card base.

I'm going to use this May release a lot! Hope you will too!!!

So glad you stopped by today!

Wet or Dry (or wet AND dry) Embossing

Hi friends!

It's time for another Repeat Impressions Stamps challenge at The House that Stamps Built. Today's challenge is to use Wet or Dry Embossing'.

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

9001 L Butterfly (lg)

9009 F Butterfly (sm)

8606 E Happy Birthday

This was embossed with Tim Holts Embossing Glaze in the Speckled Egg color. I was so surprised to see the outcome. In real life, it looks like it's just wet! Like a tone on tone. And the glaze is SO shiny!

This photo shows the shine a bit better. I held it this way and that under my ott lite until I got it just so....

So easy, and what fun to make!

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

Hanging Stars part 2

 Hello my creative friends!

I have two cards to share today, using the #SD1077 'Hanging Stars' stamp. This stamp is fun! Earlier this month, HERE, I used a simple heat embossing technique using these stamps. Today, I'm creating in Technicolor!

Here is my first card:

This card was created on watercolor paper. I used some water color markers, and colored both the stars, and the new release #SDX184 'Adulting is Overrated'.  These were then spritzed with water before stamping. Of course, I had to stamp the sentiment three times in three colors. Isn't this fun? Can't wait to send it to just the right someone!

And here's the second card:

Again, this was so easy. My white focal panel was cut, and place into my stamp positioner. The stars were inked up with a Kaleidacolor ink pad (yep, I still have lots of them!).  I lifted the lid, flipped the panel around, and inked/stamped again.  Then, I stamped a sentiment from one of my favorite sets #SS02b 'Simple Sentiments Set 2, Style B', stamping with the Kaleidacolor Ink, first in the center, then to the left and right of center sentiment. Ta-Da! Ta-Done!

Which one is YOUR favorite?  I'm partial to the 2nd one!

I have so enjoyed working with this May release!

So glad you stopped by today!
