Night Snow

Hello there!

I have a pretty card to share today!

Isn't this one of the prettiest stamps you've ever seen?  Wow! Just WoW!  I stamped Night Snow using a deep blue ink, added a strip of 1/8" Washi tape, matted panel with white, and adhered to a deep blue card base. The sentiment from my new favorite sentiment set Four Little Sentiments, was stamped on white, with a strip of Washi Tape below, for a bit of sparkle.

YES, the fence is part of this stamp! Gorgeous, right?

Super easy! Give it a try!

So glad you stopped by today!

Courage

Hello Friends!

I'm up on the Technique Junkies blog to share a pretty card, using Courage, from Technique Junkies.

This is one of my favorites from this new release. How many times in life have we 'gone on', when we had no strength do do so? Beautiful sentiment!

I created a panel on Yupo paper, using alcohol inks, and felt taped onto a straight edge. After the panel was complete, I die cut the inside panel, stamped the image onto the die cut panel, and matted in black. The focal panel was then adhered to the original panel, and attached to a card base.

I struggle a bit with cards suitable for men, but I think this one could work!

So glad you stopped by today!

Warmest Holiday Wishes - POTW

Hi everyone!

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

My plate is full to overflowing this month, so my project is a quick and easy fold...hope you enjoy it!

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

May the Miracle

Warmest Holiday

This fold is so simple.

Start with a piece of cardstock that measures 5.5" x 8.25" and score at 1 1/8" and 5.25".

Cut a piece of patterned paper to 2.75" x 5.25"

Cut another piece of coordinating patterned paper to 1" x 5.25"

For the inside of card, cut a white panel measuring 2.75" x 5.25"

Adhere them into place as shown.  Stamp a sentiment on the top of the larger panel. Stamp another sentiment on the same color as your card base, and mat with one of your patterned papers. Adhere the far right edge of the sentiment strip to the bottom right, and use a velcro fastener on the left side. Voila! A pretty card with a fun fold!

Well, hope you'll give this a try! 

Grab those RI stamps and give this a try!

Let's Go to the Hop!

Hello!

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

There is an awesome Gotta Have it All Bundle, and a little preview of the new stamps!

Wow! The holidays are fast approaching, and what better time to be creating?

I chose today, to use the beautiful Forest Buffalo for my card. The sentiment is also from a new set, called Four Little Sentiments. This set has Just Because, Miss You, Thinking of You, and Hello. These are much used sentiments in my creations, and I was thrilled when this set came out. AND....it sells for a mere $3.95!!!

To create my card, I created an alcohol ink background on Yupo paper. The image was then stamped with Catherine Pooler's Midnight ink. This is the juiciest, most amazing ink! I let it dry for a while, and then took a paper towel, and laid it on the image, and ran my fingers gently across the image, to pick up any excess ink. I set the panel aside to finish drying overnight, then mounted it onto a card base. The sentiment was stamped on a scrap of the card base color and adhered to the front of the card.

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

Ornaments-2021

 Hello crafty friends!

I have some fun news to share today!  I'm guest designing for Jan's Digi Stamps for the months of November and December!  If you've never been to Jan's site, and looked at her images, you need to go! She offers both black and white, and colored images, and they are all so beautifully done!

Jan's offering a free digi set as a 'Thank You' gift for everyone! This set is called Christmas Baubles, and will be FREE to everyone at Jan's Digi Stamps, starting November 1st. The freebie will run until Christmas Day, and will then be retired.

Be sure to check out the monthly challenge at Jan's Digi's!

 I've created a card, and a set of tags with this set, and I hope they inspire you to do some digital creating today!

First up, here is my card:

I used the beautiful 'Christmas Baubles' for the focal panel, and added 'Merry Christmas' from the Christmas Cardinals set. A piece of washi tape, and a gold metallic background finished this one off nicely!

Next, I downsized the image & sentiment quite a bit, and created some beautiful gift tags!

Here's a closer view:

Here are some things I created using last year's free images:

This one was pretty simple!  I brought the image and sentiment in, and trimmed them down to fit on the lower section of the card. A strip of patterned paper and some washi tape finished this one off nicely!

Next up:

For this card, I brought in the same ornament image as seen above, but greatly reduced the size, and used it 8 times to create a frame around this pretty sentiment from the Christmas Cardinals set. I absolutely love the beautiful script of this sentiment!

Well, thanks so much for stopping by! I'll be back in a couple of weeks with some more fun creations!

Hugs and giggles,

Patti J.
