IC307 Thinking of You

Hello!  I am sharing a card that I made for today's Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers.

My inspiration was THIS PLATE from Liberty.  I made a stencil from one of my nestie dies, then sponged the ink on the center of my white cardstock.  I used the stamp sets Growing Wild and Dream Big from Technique Tuesday.  I bent the flower stems on my acrylic block, because I wanted the flowers flowing toward the right.

Hey Cute Ghoul

Hi There!

I combined the CC344 Color Challenge and the SC344 Sketch Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers to make this card:

I won this adorable stamp set Halloweenies from Paper Smooches during their blog hop last month!  So exciting!  The fence was punched with the Modern Label punch from SU.  The house was made using the Cricut Hoot and Holler cartridge and the door was a tag punch.

SC353 Sketch Challenge

Hello!  Wow, two challenges two days in a row!  Go me!  :)

I made this card for the SC353 Sketch Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers.

I heat embossed 4 layers of gold embossing powder on a square Technique Tile from Technique Tuesday.  While the embossing was still hot, I stamped the car image using black StazOn ink, making sure to press hard into the heated embossing powder.  I did the same for the measurement border along the bottom of the tile.  Technique Tuesday stamp sets used:  All Aboard, Measure Up, and Vino.

Thanks for stopping by today!

CC343 Color Challenge

Hello!  I decided to make a quick card for today's CC343 Color Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers.

Colors:
Tangerine Tango, More Mustard, and Soft Suede

I stamped and heat embossed the image from Technique Tuesday's I Pick You set onto one of Technique Tuesday's Technique Tiles.  (kinda like chipboard...  but better!)  Then I did the emboss resist technique, by sponging the colors around the image.  Added patterned paper with sentiment on bottom of tile, and finished it off with a simple ribbon.  Quick!!

TFL!!

Card Sets

I made several card box sets last weekend while I was away at a retreat.  I make these often...  they make great gifts!  I keep these cards VERY simple and flat so that 8 cards/envelopes fit in a box.  All sets are made with stamps from Technique Tuesday.

First Set using Happy Birthday, Monsters Ink, and Chit Chat:
(click on pictures to enlarge)

Second Set using Growing Wild , Verbose, and Swanky Sentiments: 

Third Set using A Million and One by Ali Edwards:

These sets are on their way to my MIL who's celebrating her birthday today!  Hope she likes them!

Thanks for looking!

Technique Tuesday Stamp Party!

Hi everyone! 

Welcome to the Technique Tuesday Stamp Party!

What a great way to start a Monday morning!!  The Stamping Techs each dug into our stashes of Technique Tuesday stamps and grabbed the newest Technique Tuesday stamp set we own. For today’s hop, we are using those stamps.

Technique Tuesday offers a whole bunch of clear stamps. All of TT’s stamps are high-quality photopolymer. You can check them out by going to the TT Web site.

My card:

 I used the set Dream Big for both the sentiment and the houndstooth pattern on the bottom.

I made the background by coloring diagonally with the watercolor crayons from Technique Tuesday.  Then I took a damp sponge to soften and blend the colors.  The houndstooth was then stamped on the bottom.  I like how the colors show through with the black houndstooth pattern.

Be sure to check out the blogs of everyone taking part in today’s blog hop!
