Stamp Ink Paper: Tic Tac Toe Easter

0

Today’s card is dedicated to God.  He gave me Life and a talent that I still critique more than anything.  I believe in practicing reflection often and not just once a year.  Today I think of all the wonderful friendships I have made simply because I love to stamp.  Creativity is a work in progress for many of us and the #1 way to push oneself to learn more is to participate in challenges.  Thank you so much for visiting today….now in time for Easter hop on over to the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge #94 – Tic-Tac-Toe!

So go on and get your Easter Bunny on with us over at the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge.

The Details:

  • Bunny.  Use a small oval punch or the smallest oval framelit from the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies and cut one side straight across.  For the head, the smallest circle in the Layering Circle Framelits Dies would be perfect.  However, you can use any size oval and circle because you can make the bunny as large or small as you’d like.  I got the pink tail from a different project, which was purchased from one of the big box stores (they’re fairly cheap).  
  • Crosses.  I stamped the Hardwood stamp with Soft Suede ink.  I then cut little tiny rectangular pieces to make the crosses.  They came out perfect!

Use Host Code above and receive a gift from me when you place an on-line order via my on-line store.  Do not use if your order is more than $150. You will receive additional Host Reward and you’ll automatically receive a gift from me.

  1. Join as a hobby demonstrator when you want to place an order that equals $99.

Stamp Ink Paper Challenge – Shake Shake Shake

0

The most creative endless weeks of Stamp Ink Paper are often the days that get my week started or feeds my creativity.  I don’t make many shaker cards because it’s not my strong suite.  But it doesn’t mean that I won’t try, so I made this for a future #BringingBirthdaysBack card.  Show me one that you have made at the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge.

Join the Stamp Ink Paper challenge and rock this shaker card!

The Details:

  • Use of Framelits to create shaker.  Use a framelit, like a square or a circle that will leave a large opening to give the contents a better view or make it fun to shake shake shake.  I’ve just had a thought (as I type this post), I’m going to try a shaped framelit to make a shaker card….so let me go shake, shake, shake…shake my craft room. LOL
  • Foam Adhesive Strips.  These strips ROCK because they are perfect for shaker cards.  They also give a little bend to create a shape.  I’ll definitely show y’all how to make one this week.

Stamp Ink Paper: His Name

0

Christmas

A card may not be perfect, but every perfect card is one that is made with your heart. Today’s card is for the Stamp Ink Paper Sketch Challenge.  When the Peaceful Pines stamps set was introduced  in the 2015-16 Annual Catalog I purchased it and never used it.  Something many of you may not know is that the trees are slightly different sizes….I like that!

Stamp Ink Paper #77

You too can play along with Stamp Ink Paper here.

The Details:

  • 3-D Stamping.  When I snip my stamped images to add Stampin’ Dimensionals for the 3-D look, I always stamp the image under the image.  I stamp it so that just in case the receiver looks under the pop up image they’ll also see a stamped image.  There’s no reason for it, but that I like it.  Do you do the same thing?

What’s More Enjoyable: Little or Big Things?

Enjoy the Little Things

I have often watched other card makers design their own background and it’s always been intimidating for me.  But today, I bit the bullet and went for it!  We are our own worst critiques and although I didn’t think it was perfect enough here it is!

The Details:

  • Which colors first?  Although there’s no right or wrong way, I first stamped the lighter colors.
  • Light in the middle.  Leave a little less color in the middle so that the main sentiment shows up a little more bold.  However, I embossed the sentiment so that it was more bold and stood out from the rest of the card.

Friendship

Here it is my friends!  The plug to the hole in my heart is the Retro Rubber (Card) Challenge. I’m not on the design team, but will start using my vast Stampin’ Up! collection of years gone past.  Cards made with my ‘antique’ collection usually don’t make the blog because they aren’t available for purchase from Stampin’ Up! and I’m not selling them. But now I’ll be able to show them off on the blog and I’m so excited and I only hate that you can’t see the goofy smile on my face.

retro-challenge-50

everything-nice-2005-suStamp set used for the Retro Rubber Challenge (RRCB50) is the retired set And Everything Nice – 2005.  It is absolutely nothing but cuteness.  If you have an older stamp set you’d like to show off I’d also love to see your card on the challenge.

Friendship The Details:

  • Water-color Madness.  For over a month now I have been water-coloring like a mad woman and the best tool I’ve found that works great for me are the Aqua Painters.  They come in two brush sizes and I tend to use the smaller one.  I love that the brush allows me to be able to start off with a darker shade of the color and I brush in short strokes to push the color down where I want it to blend.  You just have to practice practice practice.
  • Please Leave a Comment.  Your comments give me the encouragement to continue the blog and share my love of handmade cards.  I’d love for you to forward this post to a friend and say, “If I had made this card, I would’ve sent it to you.” LOL…then I want you to come back and let me know what they said.
  • Share Some Sunshine.  Did you think of a specific friend when you first saw the retro image and read the cute sentiment?  Please share it.  Scroll down to the bottom of the post and click on the envelope image to share the card with someone whom you think can use a little bit of sunshine today.

Peek-a-boo: I’m Here for You

0

Here for You

We’ve all been in a place where we needed a friend and hopefully you’ve been there for a friend who has needed a friend and that friend was you. Did you know that sending someone a handwritten card provides more comfort that a text?  Try it sometime. =)

Here for you

The Details:

  • Another Brick in the Wall. I love that old song!  But hey, want to make the Brick Wall embossing folder different? Simply trim a brick out and stamp an image that will be seen through it.  How easy is that?
  • Give the Brick Wall an Old Look.  You can achieve a speckled look and give the wall some flare with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. It’s perfect and it does’t have to be perfect. 
  • Create a Vistor. Snip out another little creature on the front side of the wall so the one stuck behind the wall isn’t so lonely. LOL.  I stamped only one hedgehog from the Love You lots set and snip it and if you use a Stampin’ Dimensional it’ll look like it’s truly standing near the wall. I love it!!!
