Flag Across America

Hi there!

I have 3 cards to share today, using the new release stamp #S888 'Flag Across America'. This is a beautiful stamp. My first instincts when I saw this image, was to send a card to each of our kids and their family. One lives in the DC area, one in the Sacramento CA area, and of course, we live in the St Louis area.

Here's what I made for them:

These two cards were colored with Copic markers, distressed with a paper towel dipped in alcohol, a fine point marker, and a couple of red glitter hearts. The sentiments are from one of my favorite older Technique Junkies sets #SS02b Simple Sentiments Set 2, Style b.

Don't forget about our Independence Day coming up July 4th! This would be a perfect image for the holiday!

For the third card, I used the image, and stamped over top of it with a Technique Junkies stamp #SD436 'America Beats True'.  

These were easy cards to create!  I am having a lot of fun with this June release! Hope you see something you like!

So glad you stopped by today!

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!
