Thank you, squared

Hello. Playing in the CASology cue card this week of Square.

Stamps are from Concord & 9th. I used Hero Arts Navy ink on the huge Thank You sentiment.  Flowers are also stamped in HA ink. I did use my Stampoholic nano to stamp the large sentiment so that I could get really good coverage of ink. Overall, kept this one very clean and simple.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Hello

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at Just Us Girls. This week is trend week and we are looking for Multi-step stamping.

Flower layering stamps are from WPlus9 and the hello sentiment is from Winnie & Walter.

I used Fresh pigment inks in Spun Sugar, pink lemonade and butter for each flower. Outline stamped in Versafine, as is the sentiment. I dusted off my small scalloped border die and used it to frame the pink panel in the back ground.

Surely everyone now has perfected this technique with all the really cool stamps that are now available. Why not whip something up and join us this week?

Thinking of you

Hey there. Here is my take on this weeks Freshly Made Sketch.

Azalea is from Altenew. I stamped it using Altenew's Green fields and Red cosmo inks. Love how it turned out. I also bought the coordinating dies and used them to cut the leaves and azalea out. I popped up the flower using foam tape so that I could stick the leaf branches behind it.

I used the stripe stamp set from Simon Says Stamp to create the background. I used the two lightest inks in the pink set at the top and just plain black for the 3 line one. Sentiment also comes in the stamp set.

Doodlebug matte candy dots used below the sentiment for a bit of interest.

Also adding this into the Anything goes challenge over at Simon Says Stamp.

Blog Anniversary and a giveaway

Hi everyone! It's my 10th blogging anniversary and to celebrate I'm doing some blog candy.

I started my blog today 10 years ago and since it's Christmas time, I thought I'd start off with showing you a clean and simple card. Stamp is from Mama Elephant. I stamped it using my Nano and then heat embossed it. I'm loving the fact that this can be mass produced.  However, I generally tend to make different cards for different people on my list.

OK, on to the giveaway...........

Here is what is up for grabs. All you have to do is become a follower and you get two additional entries into the drawing if you upload your favorite Christmas card you made this year.

Winner will be randomly drawn and this is only good for folks living within the US.

Good luck and I hope you join me, link and contest will close on 12/31/16.

Red mittens

Hello. Here's a card for this weeks snowflake challenge over at The Paper Players.

Mittens and matching dies are from My Favorite Things. I stamped the mitten using pure poppy dye ink from PTI multiple times using my Stampaholic Nano. Then I heat embossed the snowflake using white detail embossing powder from Hero Arts.

Sentiment is from another set from My Favorite Things. Pure Poppy cardstock is from PTI.

I did pop up the mittens using foam squares so that I could add the red bakers twin to tie them together.

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

Holiday coffee cup

Hi all. I picked up this Hero Arts stamp and die set after waffling about it for some time. I put it to use on this sketch from TGIF Challenges.

I had to use my nano stampoholic tool to get the red ink as dark and even as I could. It took repeated stamping and re-inking to do that.

Red ink and paper are pure poppy from Papertrey, Ink.

Snow embossing folder is from Taylored Expressions.

The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday.

 Thanks for stopping by!

Fairy wishes

Hello everyone. I just received my Hero Arts card kit and had a lot of fun playing around.

I masked off the oval and got out some distress inks and sponged the back ground.

Fairy's are cut out using the dies that are included in the kit and then stamped and colored with Copic's. I did add some sparkle to their wings using the clear Spectrum glitter pen.

I also added some very subtle sparkle to the back ground using a stardust pen. I scribbled a bit onto a piece of scratch paper and then used my finger to pick up some sparkle and smear it on. You might need to enlarge the picture to see it.

I did use all three of the fairy's that came in the stamp set. The third is inside the card.


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

Stenciled thank you

Hi everyone! Here is my take on this weeks Freshly Made Sketch, which I paired up with SSS Wednesday challenge of using a stencil.

I just got the new Hero Art's card kit in the mail yesterday and put the thank you sentiment to use on this card.

I used my Nano from Stampholic to place the stamps exactly where I wanted them. Since it's stamped onto two layers, I had to stamp it twice to get it to be dark enough and stamp completely. One of the benefits of using this particular stamp positioner. 

Before stamping the sentiment I used Lawn Fawn's butter ink with a Memory Box stencil in order to get this fabulous back ground.

Black rivets are from Queen & Co.

That's it for now, thanks for stopping in.

I'll never forget you

Hi everyone! The challenge over at Less is More is to use three stamps. Here is what I did with it.

Stamps are from Simon Says Stamp and colored with Copic's. I did use my stampoholic Nano to get everything positioned just right.

Gray cardstock from My Favorite Things is use to layer the main images and it's popped up onto the white card base using foam squares. I used Neenah solar white cardstock in 110lb for the base and to stamp the image.

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping in.

Polka dots

Hi everyone! Here is my take on the Polka Dot challenge over at Less is More.

The is an old stamp set from the former Angel Company. I stamped it in Fresh ink using the colors Chamomile and Basil. The center is done in brown.

I used my Stampoholic Nano to help me position the stamps. I just love the smaller version of this and use it way more than the original size.

Sentiment is from My Favorite Things as is the die that is the dot border around the white panel. Layered it with some yellow cardstock that matched the ink of the flower and then popped it up onto a white card base using foam squares.

Thanks for stopping in.
