Christmas cookies!

Hello and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Try A Sketch on Tuesday.

The cookie dies are from Tim Holtz Sizzix line from a few years ago.  I used Gina K Designs cardstock to alternate with the white on the cookies.  The three small snowflakes are shaker bits from Trinity stamps that I glued on for added interest and cuteness.  The border dies are from Pink Fresh.

Thanks - TSOT#684

Hello and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesdays.  

The background stamp is from Andy Skinner at Creative Expressions.  I stamped it in Antique Linen oxide ink onto cream cardstock and cut out the panels.  The wreath die is from Tim Holtz, Sizzix line.  I used some leftover leaves that I had sitting in my stash and added them on.  The Thanks is a die from Spellbinders.  

Here is the link to join in on the challenge. Not only here, but you can also combine your card with our sister challenge here.

Just a note

Hi again.  I'm cleaning and organizing my craft room today, and that led to some creativity.  This one is inspired by the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.

The long notebook page was created using an old Papertrey, Ink die.  For the lines, I used an old background stamp from My Favorite Things.  The clipboard die is from Sizzix/Tim Holtz.  

The notebook paper on it is from a patterned paper pad from PTI called pencil me in.    The "just a note" is a stamp from the Ink Blot Shop. I thought it was funny how it fit into the lines on the notebook paper.  

Thanks for stopping by. 

You make everything better!

Hello. Playing in a few challenges today with this card. The sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches, and I used the left column down on the tic-tac-toe challenge.  See below.

The tools and the peg board are dies from Taylored Expressions. I added a few bits of duct tape to the board using the small tape dies from Tim Holtz Sizzix vault die set 666876. (It is the set that has the clipboard in it). Silver cardstock from TH used for the tools. I did end up cutting down the peg board a bit to better fit the sketch.

The ruler is from an old set called The Necessities by Limited Edition. I had to stamp it on yellow cardstock to resemble the rulers that used to hang out in my Dad's garage.  The sentiment is from Avery Elle, and I used the small nail die cut (cut off a bit) as an exclamation point. 

This could be used as a Father's Day card or a birthday card.  

Thanks for stopping by. 

Congrats

Hello everyone. Welcome to another challenge over at The Flower Challenge.  We are celebrating 100 challenges this go around and we have prizes to give away for playing along.  We are looking for you to add circles to your flower cards.  

The circle embossing folder is from Penny Back. I surrounded it with flowers cut from Pink Fresh Studio dies.  I did use inks color the dies cuts before adding them around the embossing.  The congrats sentiment is from Tim Holtz sizzix dies set. 

I'm giving away this retired Pink Fresh Studio set, which I have never used. We will be drawing winners randomly.  I hope you join us!

Celebrate - SSC346

Hello and welcome to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  I designed the sketch for our challenge this time based on this card.

I used Simon Says Stamp saturated inks and the peony buds and blossoms stencil from Shawn Petite.  Cut it apart, layered it with black cardstock, and then placed it onto an embossed panel.  The celebrate word die is from Tim Holtz Sizzix. 

 

There are a lot of possibilities with this sketch, Link up here. Sunday Stamps

Happy Anniversary

Hello. Playing in the Simon Says Stamp Romance/Wedding/Anniversary challenge today.  I made this clean and simple anniversary card using Sizzix dies from Tim Holtz.

I found a man and a woman among the layers from Idea-ology and popped them behind the yellow vellum to create that old-time look. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things. I also stacked up the main layer using foam tape for added dimension.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a fintastic day

Hello! Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch tonight.

I decided to stamp something other than flowers for a change. 

Stamps and dies are from Lawn Fawn. I used a Tim Holtz thinlits die on the lefthand side to represent bubbles.  Then I backed it with some darker blue water-featured scrapbook paper, which you can’t see anyway. Pft. 

The wave embossing folder is an old one from Provo Craft that the orca is riding on. He is cut out several times and stacked together for dimension.

Thanks for stopping by!

Mixed media Christmas tag

Hello. I'm playing in The Paper Players tag you're it challenge today.

I created a mixed media tag using distress inks, and a few stamps from Park Lane and Lawn Fawn. The dies are a mix of Tim Holtz Sizzix and Simon Says Stamp. I finished it off with a splatter of rustic wilderness re-inker and tied on a few bows made from twine.

The background is a sheet of music that was heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

Thanks for stopping by.

Simon Says Stamp

Thinking of you

Hi all. Playing in the color challenge over at Just add ink today.

The sentiment is a very old $1 stamp set that I've had for 15+ years and have no idea who made it.  

Flower dies are from Jaded Blossom and the leaves and the flower centers were taken from the TH sizzix small tattered florals die set. 

I believe the diamond die is from Memory Box. I did add a bit of yellow saturated ink from Simon behind it to highlight the flowers.  The yellow cardstock is from PTI and the oceanside and aqua sky are from Concord and 9th.

Thanks for stopping by.

Thank you

Hello. I was inspired by the mood board over at Beautiful Blossoms challenge today. Here is what I came up with.

The flower stencils, stamp, and die are from Pink Fresh Studio. I used speckled egg and uncharted mariner for the blues in the flowers. Ink for the leaves is from SSS in sage and aspen. 

The thank you die-cut words are from Tim Holtz Sizzix. I cut them out three times, stacked them, and then added glossy accents to them. Which you can't really tell by the photo.  Stitched background die is form C9. 

Here is the mood board - look at all those lovely blues! 

Thanks for stopping by.

Thinking of you

Hello - playing in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of "thinking of you" - I had this one colored up already in my unused card bit bin just waiting for me to make it into a card.

The stamp and sentiment are from Altenew. I watercolored it with Tombow markers. Splattered it with white and black paint.

The silver plaid panel is from Sizzix Tim Holtz, I just used one of the plaid panels. Ironically, this has been sitting on my island since I got the dies, just waiting for me to put it to use.

Thanks for stopping by!

Birthday wishes

Hello - Playing in The Paper Players masculine clean and simple challenge today.

Birthday sentiment is from Memory Box. The skeleton leaf is from Tim Holtz. I used one of the many backgrounds sitting in my stash to cut it out. I also spritz this with distress resist spray - to give it a shiny appearance. In real life its wonderful. Burlap paper from DCWV.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Summer!

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is Anything goes!

I CASED this idea from echo park. They have a set of small dies that spells out summer using popsicles, and I thought it would be super fun to use Repeat Impressions popsicles in a similar way. Of course I had to add nuts and sprinkles into the mix. I masked off the popsicles and colored with Copic's. The small letter dies are from Tim Holtz Sizzix line. 

 

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.

 

One lucky person will win a $25 Repeat Impressions Gift Certificate on the first Wednesday of every month – Good luck!
