Timeless Tuesday Case a DT Member....

Good morning!

Where has the month gone?  This is my last Tuesday as guest designer for the Timeless Tuesday Challenge.  I've enjoyed working with these talented designers, and have certainly loved working with the Flourishes stamps and accessories.  Thanks, ladies for the opportunity to work with you this month!

Today's Timeless Tuesday Challenge Hostess is Ally, who has challenged us to case a Flourishes DT Member.  I went into the gallery, and chose to case a card by Stacy Morgan (see below).

Here is my card:

Flourishes "Humming Along", Flourishes Laural Venise Lace, Spellbinders Dies, Ribbon, Want2Scrap Bling, Kaiser Craft Bonjour Collection DP, Dimensional Squares, Blue, Black, & White CS

I didn't have the same stamps or the dies that Stacy used, so I used the set 'Humming Along', and other dies, but I think my card turned out very similar.  I love the little Hummingbirds in this set, and could hardly wait to ink them up!

Here is Stacy's card:

I hope that you will check out Stacy's blog - she has some beautiful creations to share!

We would be delighted to see your card at the Timeless Tuesday Challenge this week!
You can find full challenge details on the Timeless Tuesday Challenge Blog!!!

The DT has some beautiful projects to share this week, as they too, have cased their fellow DT members!  Please stop by to see what they have to share with you:

Someone to Annoy...

Hi there, and Happy Monday!

Here's a cute 'just because' card.  I saw this at Bugaboo, and it made me giggle.  What a cute sentiment for just that right friend or family member :)

This fun image comes all in one piece - frame and all.
It's colored with Copic Markers,and mounted on Amuse cardstock.  

Added a few 'nailheads' from my stash.
A bit of Jillibean Soup twine is the perfect

finishing touch for a very quick and easy CAS card.

Hope it gave you a giggle or two, as well.

Thanks for stopping by,

Patti J.

What If Wednesday Sketch Challenge

So here we are...another Wednesday!

Time for a new What If Wednesday Sketch Challenge at Repeat Impressions.

Wendy's Amazing Sketch:

My card:

Repeat Impressions Series 9200 Image, Bazzill Basics CS, Copic Markers, Scrap of green zig zag trip, Kaiser Craft Pearls, wet and dry adhesive, dimensional squares.

Rather than do pennants, I stamped the image a couple of extra times, and fussy cut three of the flowers. Some Kaiser Craft pearls finished off my border.  I used one of the new images from the 9200 series, and colored it with Copic Markers.  The 'corners' on all of my pieces were done with a small square punch, that I barely caught the edge of the CS with.  The nice even mats were done, once again with my Perfect Layers Tools.  The image is popped up on dimensional foam. I also split the butterfly wings, and popped one up a bit higher than the other for some dimension.

We would love to see your take on this fun sketch!  When you have your card finished, just head over to the RI blog, The House That Stamps Built, and link it up...you could be the lucky winner!  Full details on the blog!

Now, my fellow Rockstars have been hard at work, and have some beautiful and fun creations to share! Check out what they have been working on, using this sketch:

Christmas in July...

Hi there...I have a creation that I'd like to share with you today.  

Today's project is for the Flourishes' Timeless Tuesday Challenge, which is, Christmas in July!

Christmas Card

Gift set of card and box of notes

Box of notes with transparent lid to the side.

Last week, Beate Johns, had a tutorial and video at Splitcoaststampers, showing how to make this delightful box full of beautiful note cards.  You can find Beate's tutorial and video here.  (To see another version of this great little box, check out my talented friend, Lorie's blog!)  I chose to make a gift set, of a Christmas Card, and this Note Holder Box.  I hope you like it!  I'm keeping this post as short as possible today, but let me know if you have any questions!  I will post supplies used at the bottom.

NOW....

Under The Sea...

Welcome to another Repeat Impressions' Stamp of the Week Monday!

Today's post features "Under the Sea" (2423-W).

Sigh...no matter how hard I tried, I could not capture the pretty colors in this card.

The image was colored with Copic Markers, and then a few Frosted Lace Stickles were dotted on the 'bubbles', and a few extra bubbles added.  Using an oval Spellbinder, I cut a frame for the image on the card front. I then used the outside of the Spellbinder, and drew an oval onto the card front panel.  I cut it out with my scissors, and adhered it to the front of the card using dimensional squares.

Added some bling, and voila - pretty quick card!

This stamp can be yours this week for 50% off, IF you are a RI reader! Check out the RI blog, The House That Stamps Built for all of the details!
