STAMP OF THE WEEK AT REPEAT IMPRESSIONS

Once again, it's Monday and I hope you all had a great weekend and if you celebrated Thanksgiving I hope you had a wonderful day with family and friends. 

Monday always means it's Stamp of the Week time at Repeat Impressions.  That means the stamp we're featuring is 50% off.  Go over to The House That Stamps Built, grab the code and stuff this cutie, "Twig Hair Snowman" #2003-G, in your shopping cart.

 
I had a great time with this stamp...it makes me smile just looking at it.  You can see the joy he could bring to anyone's day when he's on a card.  I'm a CAS kinda gal, so I let the snowman show himself off.  

 
I got to use a new "snow" ef from Sizzix and for the sentiment I used RI stamp #4603-F

Please stop by my Rock Star Teamies and check out their fabulous creations.

 
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Designer's Choice Challenge at Repeat Impressions

Hello, blog friends.....

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

It's always exciting to bring a new designer choice challenge to the followers of our blogs and The House That Stamps Built. 

Today it's a designer's choice challenge and it's Rock Star, Karen's turn to challenge us and she's challenged us to a Non-traditional holiday color challenge. 

For my card I used a light lavendar, teal and purple.  This snowman makes me smile every time I see him.....so I made this card because it makes me happy.   I hope it brings a smile to your face and/or a happy moment to your life today. 


The technique is called "on the edge" and the dot bg behind the snowman is created with my turquoise Atyou Spica pen (available at Repeat Impressions).  The focal image stamp I used is #4714-L "snow skating".   I "captured" the sentiment "JOY" from sentiment stamp #424-G by masking.

You're going to want to visit my Rock Star Teamies for more inspiraton with Karen's fun challenge and we invite you to play along with us.  Link your project for Karen's challenge to The House That Stamps Built DCC challenge and get  yourself entered into winning some fabulous rubber stamps.

Hi blog friends! 

It's another WIW at Repeat Impressions  - it's when Wendy gives us one of her fabulous sketches to play with and we invite you to join us! 

It's as easy as posting your creation (using Wendy's sketch) to your blog and linking it to The House That Stamps Built WIW link - you'll then be entered to win $25.00 worth of sensational RI stamps. 

Here's the sketch Wendy gave us this week



My card, is a Joy Fold Card and will be part of a make and take at Your Maine Stamper in Winthrop, Maine this Saturday.  Wendy and Bill, of Repeat Impressions, will be doing a trunk show there and have graciously asked me to take part in it.  I'm so excited!!!  If you live close by, I hope you'll come out and join in on the fun from 1-4 pm.  

My card uses RI stamp #8902-L "Moose Snow Globe" . I stamped it using Memento's new "Northern Pine" on white cs and used Crystal Stickles to embellish it.  I pieced the base of the globe with red cs.  This is just one of the fabulous Christmas and holiday stamps RI has.  

Thanks so much for stopping by, don't forget to play along with us and please visit all my Rock Star Teamies for more inspiration with Wendy's sketch.

STAMP OF THE WEEK AT REPEAT IMPRESSIONS

Hi blog friends!!!

 Thank you!
********
 
We're here to showcase the Stamp of the Week from Repeat Impressions.  It happens every Monday (a great reason to love Mondays).  For those who are followers of The House That Stamps Built blog, you can get these weekly featured stamps at 50% off the retail price.  Just head over, grab the code and put this stamp in your shopping cart. 

 
Here's what I crated using this fun stamp.
 
 
For my card, I used some on sale glitter paper I found in a big box craft store.  I usually don't like lots of glitter, but I did like the CAS pop design it created on this white card base.  I used Tim Holtz Defusser to create the open space for the bulb and then dressed it with this fantastic corner bow die from MB.  This was such an easy and quick card to put together.  (I love Q&E).  The sentiment I used is #424-G
 
Thank you so much for stopping by.  If you want to see some more great inspiration using this stamp of the week, check out my Rock Star Teamies!
 
 
Have a happy week and thanks so much for stopping by.

StampTV CSS November Inspiration Blog Hop

Hi blog friends!!

Welcome to the November blog hop of the StampTV Center Stage Spotlight Alumni Design Team. 

If you've come here from the super talented Brenda's blog, then you're in the right place.  If not, and you'd like to see the entire hop, blog by blog, link back to The Beginning so you won't miss a single fabulous creation. 

Our team member Kay Simmons gave us this great inspiration to create with

Here's my card inspired by Kay's photo
 
I was inspired by the textures and the warm brown colors.  For my card I used "Heartfelt" set by Theresa Momber.  (On of my very favorites).  My bg was created using a Sizzix ef and Tim Holtz Alterations Embossing Diffusers.  I used a masking technique to get the silhouette foliage in the bg, stamped and colored the pumpkins with Copic markers then fussy cut them and mounted them in front of the foliage with pop dots.  I also added a bow using Gina's recent video "Beautiful Bow" technqiue 
 
I'm also sharing this card on Outlawz CAS "Thank You" Challenge this week.  Check it out for some great challenges and more chances to win great prizes.
 
Before I go, I'd like to thank all the Veterans of our military for your dedication and service to our country. It's a privilege to be living in freedom and I will never forget that you gave me this privilege. Please take a moment this weekend (or any time) and remember our Veterans and thank them.
 
Thanks for stopping by, now hop on over to another super talented lady, Geri's blog and see her fantastic inspiration piece.
