Just a note

Hello! Playing in the Sunday Stamps weekly challenge today. The photo inspiration board is below.

The leaf dies are from Lawn Fawn. I colored them using perfect pearls. I gotta tell you those jars were a bit dusty, so it was a good thing to dig them out, clean them up, and put them to use. The sentiment is from The Ton and the crosshatch die is from MFT stamps.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sending get well wishes

Hello. Playing in the Paper Dragonfly challenge #21 - Fall Splendor and the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge #225. Went with the bottom row. 

Dies are from Lawn Fawn. I cut them out, added Versamark to them, and then dusted each one with a bit of perfect pearls. The sentiment die and stamp is from Wplus9.  Rustic cream cardstock is from Papertrey, Ink.  In real life those little leaves sure do shine nicely.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Anything goes - pretty peacock

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is the ever popular Anything Goes.

Peacock is colored with Copic's. I wanted to show the embossing up close and show case the sparkle on it that I added using perfect pearls, but of course it's so hard to photograph that. I did use my Brother Scan N Cut to cut this guy out. 

There's a new challenge every week over at  The House That Stamps Built, and you don't have to use Repeat Impressions stamps to link up or win. Also, for my blog readers: Enjoy the 10% discount code to the Repeat Impressions Store posted on the sidebar.

August Tic-Tac-Toe challenge

Hello. It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we were challenged to use the following Tic-Tac-Toe grid. Here is what I did.

I used Distress Oxide inks to create the background. The large dragonfly is stamped in versamark and then I used perfect pearls to give it shine. The smaller dragonflies are heat embossed with silver embossing powder. Dew drops added per the TTT grid.  The dragonflies can be found HERE over at Repeat Impressions.

Season's Greetings

Hello! I'm feeling a tad bit better with the abscessed tooth. Ended up having to go to the emergency clinic to have them prescribe some anti-inflammatory drugs and some pain killers. Once the swelling goes down I can then go to the dentist. I'm extremely lucky that I have paper work to do at work and I can do that from home. However, swelling or no, back at it tomorrow. Thanks for those who wished me well!

OK, on to some stamping stuff. Here is a card that was inspired by two challenges today.

The photo below from The Card Concept is what inspired me in color, texture and the poinsettias. I kept it as clean and simple as possible following this weeks Freshly Made sketch.

The plaid stamp is from My Favorite Things and is stamped using vintage cream cardstock and pure poppy ink from PTI. The sentiment came free from (I think) STAMPlorations in an order that I got. Vine stamp in the back is from So Suzy.

I picked up the mini poinsettia's at Hobby Lobby when they were 40% off and knew they would come in handy soon. The pine and berry dies are from Poppy Stamps. Used some red perfect pearls to add the red berries on the die cut.

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by!

ETA: Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Christmas.

Poinsettia

Hi everyone. It's sketch week over at Less is More and this is what I did with it.

Poinsettia die is from Poppy Stamps. I cut it out of red and green cardstock, then distressed them with Ranger distress inks in Festive Berries and Mowed Lawn.

The berry branch is also from Poppy stamps. I cut it out using basic white paper, colored it brown using a Copic marker. To add the red berries, I dusted off my perfect pearls. Once dry, I cut it up and stuck it behind the poinsettia.

Holidays sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink.

That's it for today. I've got to go clean up the mess I made while making this. Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday to you - CTS #40

Hi everyone! I really think this weeks sketch by CAS(e) this sketch has a lot of possibilities and decided to give it a whirl.

I reached deep into my bottom drawer and pulled out my green perfect pearls to create this green bush. The stamp is from Inkadinkado and is inked up in versamark and then dusted with the perfect pearls - which you cannot see in the picture! Sentiment is also from the same company, just a different set.  Green gingham ribbon tied around the panel and the little bow was created using the bow easy!

Well, back to stamping - thanks for stopping in!

Trying to stay warm

Hi everyone! It's sure been cold here - we've had 9 consecutive days that have been colder than normal, with a high of 41 degrees and no rain! But wow, it's sure been foggy in the mornings. So to warm up, I stamped up a pair of mittens.


Stamps are from Papertrey, Ink and stamped in Memento ink. Mittens colored with B93, 95 and 97 plus G21 Copic markers.

The snowflakes were stamped in Versamark ink then dusted with perfect pearls. Die is from PTI and so is the blueberry cardstock. The green cardstock is from Hot Off The Press.

A stardust pen was used to highlight the snowflakes on the mittens.

Thanks for stopping by!

Silent Night

Hi everyone! Here's a card I completed for the "Clean and Simple" challenge over at Splitcoaststampers - and there is NO stamping on the front of this card! The challenge was to use White and one other color!

Shimmery paper is embossed with the new 5x7 snowflake cuttlebug embossing folder and used as the back ground for this card. The branch punch from Martha Stewart crafts was used on the same shimmery paper to make the tree.

I added a dusting of Perfect Pearls to the navy cardstock, which didn't picture well - but in real life it sparkles quite nicely. A satin bow ties this all together!

Shimmery paper is from Papertrey Ink and the Navy cardstock is from American Crafts.

Be back later with Tuesday's sketch challenge!
