Anything goes challenge over at The House!

It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we are holding our ever popular Anything Goes challenge. Since it's so close to New Years, this is what I came up with.

 

I finally did an eclipse card that I actually liked. Yea!

I stamped the fire work stamp (9014-M, Fireworks) in Versamark then heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. Cut out the 2018 using large number dies and then reattached them using dimensionals. Card base is gold mirror cardstock.

So, what are you waiting for?!

Why not play along with us and start stamping up a card now. We can’t wait to see your creations!
Don’t forget… Take part in one weekly challenge or all of them. The more you play along, the more chances you have to win! Each submission enters you in the drawing for our gift certificate. And you don’t always have to use our stamps in your creations, but we will reward you if you do. Each submission using a Repeat Impressions stamp will earn you an additional entry in the drawing!

Also, check out our Rock Star blogs to see what they did with the challenge.

May Sketch Challenge

Hi everyone. Here is the sketch for May over at Repeat Impressions, The House that Stamps Built.

I used one of the new stamps that just came out called Flower Power Separates to make the card for the sketch challenge.

This flower said poinsettia to me so that it what I went with. I stamped it in Versamark, then heat embossed using gold embossing powder.

Then I took my Copic's and colored them up to reflect the red gorgeous blossoms you find at Christmas.

I did a bit of foiling on the band using just some double sided tape. Then I popped up a single poinsettia with some leaves using foam tape.

MFT blueprints 21 dies used to create the dotted pierced border and the top half circle.

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

Anniversary flourish

Hi everyone! Here is my take on two challenges today. Less is More is only layer wee with a flourish and Just Us Girls, it's trend week and they want metals or metallics.

I have several flourish stamps, but couldn't decide which on to work with. My mojo was not in gear at first. I had a lot of cool ideas, I was just having a hard time executing those ideas.

Finally decided on a old retired Angel Company swirl stamp. Stamped it in Versamark and then used gold embossing powder and heat embossed.

Anniversary sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink.

I tried to get a good picture that showed off the gold embossing, but was only successful at showing off the top portion. Oh, well. In real life it's very pretty.

Thanks for stopping by!

Joy

Hello all. In cleaning out my stamps I came across this little gem that I didn't know I had. Coincidentally, it works wonderful for the Addicted to CAS challenge of Joy this week.

I used Rustic white cardstock from PTI as the base of the card and the top layer.

The stamp is from Victorine Originals. I stamped it in Versamark ink and then heat set it with gold embossing powder. I also applied the gold embossing powder around the outside of the card base. I never have any luck using a ruler and the versamark pen to get an even border. What I did this time around is the direct to paper method with the pad and then added the powder. It's bigger than I need and wasted powder, but it at least I didn't get frustrated!

This stamp would be a good one to use to do some mass Christmas cards in a hurry. You can find the link to the stamp here.

Happy 50th

Hello. This weeks theme over at Less is More is numbers. Here is what I did with it.

I die cut the happy and the 5 and 0 out of gold mirror card stock. I did use some of that stick it! adhesive on the back so that it would be a lot easier to adhere to the card front. That stuff is worth the price!

I stamped the th and anniversary in versamark then heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. Before I stuck the happy and 50 on, I ran this through the spellbinders embossing folder. It's from their Celebra'tions line. The pearl cardstock is from Papertrey, Ink.

Decided to decorate part of the inside and unearthed a very old swirl stamp so that I could add a bit of gold bling to the inside.

Now to finish up my chores and start to put my stamping area in order. It looks like a tornado came through. Thanks for stopping by!

Celebrate

Hello! I've been making cards for the plethora of World Card Making Day challenges that is happening all over blogsville today.  Here is one for CAS(e) this sketch and winnie & walter.

Celebrate sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink and stamped in versamark then heat embossed using gold embossing powder.

The confetti stamp is from savvy stamps. I also stamped it in versamark and heat embossed with gold.

Added it onto a layer of gold metallic cardstock then attached it to a black card base.
  
I like this sketch as it allows for so many CAS possibilities. Winnie & Walter's challenge was to use gold/metallic.


More to come in a later post. Thanks for stopping by!




 

PTI blog hop - touch of gold birthday card

Hi everyone! I decided to participate in this month's PTI blog hop touch of gold. Here is the picture announcing the hop.

Here is what I did with it! I'm liking the different texture on this, but I think I have more than a touch of gold!

Stamps are from PTI and I used Versamark and gold embossing powder to create the touch of gold.

The left hand border is cut out of a 12 x 12 Color Me gold sampler pack from Hot Off The Press. I've had the gold wire mesh in my drawer forever and decided to cut it to use on this card. The Happy Birthday panel is popped up using foam tape.  I decided to do a bit of gold embossing on the inside of the card to match the front. I just inked up the top part of the stamp instead of the whole thing to make the border. All cardstock is from Papertrey, Ink.

Thanks for dropping in!
