CAS CHALLENGE AT OUTLAWZ CHALLENGES

Hi blog friends!!!  

Did you happen to see the awesome 20% Thanksgiving Offer for Repeat Impressions Stamps on the right side of my sidebar????  This is an incredible offer.  I hope you don't miss it!  

There's a new CAS challenge over at the Outlawz Challenges.   "Bling It On" is hosted by the super talented Lynn Cupido.  

Here's a card I created for Lynn's challenge.

I made this so simply.  The die is Corner Bow by Memory Box and the sentiment stamp is from the new Essentials line by Ellen Hutson and Julie Embersole "Brushstroke Christmas".  (I love this set).  With a pencil eraser I stamped some Delicata "Slivery Shimmer" to create the bg.  The "gift" is a 3x3 piece of cs embossed with the Cuddle Bug folder "Candy Cane".  I heat embossed the sentiment with "Liquid Platinum" embossing powder by Ranger.  

Come on over and play along with the CAS Challenge at Outlawz Challenges.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

REPEAT IMPRESSIONS DESIGNER'S CHOICE CHALLENGE

Happy Wednesday, blog friends!!! 

Here we are with another exciting DCC at The House That Stamps Built blog and this week the incredibly talented Rock Star, Geri Utterback has created an inspiration challenge for us.  

Get your supplies together and join us in this challenge, won't you?  We can't wait to see what you do with this fabulous inspiration idea.  Get all the details for entering the challenge at The House That Stamps Built.

I loved playing with this inspiration and this is what I came up with for a final card.  I used RI Stamps #1317-L "Vase of Tulips" for my focal image, die cutting it and paper piecing the vase after coloring the flowers with Copic Markers.  I stamped the image twice so I could cut the flowers and pop them off the base image for dimension.  The sentiment is RI #424-G "Wishing You a Season". 

For lots more creative inspiration take a peak at what my team mates have in store for you.

Both of my card feature this incredibly beautiful Di-Versions die "Whispers Skate Around".  I must tell you, I LOVE these dies.  They cut cleanly and the detailing is incredible.  

I paired the "Skate Around" skate die with RI Stamp #8810-H "Snow Much Fun".  I created this card by first die cutting the skate image in white cs, then centering and cutting it through the two blue layers, one at a time.  The bottom layer is then adhered to a piece of printer paper covered in double sided tape and the white skates are placed inside the opening in the blue layers.  Once adhered, I ran them through an embossing folded and adhered it to the front card base.  I then stamped the sentiment on a piece of white cs, distressed it with DI "Tumbled Glass", trimmed it, and placed it on dimensional tape and adhered it to the front of the card.  The "stars" were added using Viva Glitter Pen "Hologram"

RI stamps used on this card are #8805-K "Snowflakes" for the background and #424-G "Wishing You a Season".  

We hope that we have inspired you to be creative, and that you'll do a bit of shopping at the Die-Versions and Repeat Impressions' websites!

DESIGNER'S CHOICE CHALLENGE AT REPEAT IMPRESSIONS

Hi blog friends!!!  

Winter arrived here this past Sunday....we got over 6" of new snow in our area, however, north of us 100 miles they got over a foot and many people had no power for days.  Yikes!!!   Fortunately, our area did not lose power.  

There's a new Designer's Choice Challenge at The House That Stamps Built and this week my sweet friend Patti J is hosting and her challenge is "Being Thankful".  

The stamps I used for my card are RI Stamps #9705-M "Jar" and #9719-E "A Pint of Thanks" both from one of the newest stamp sets "Contain Yourself".  I colored the jar with Copic Markers and did some dry embossing with a couple of different embossing folders on some paper layers.  I used Spellbinders Labels Eighteen for the sentiment and a tiny heart punch I picked up at Michaeles for $1.00!  The doily is another "find" in Michaels discount bin.  

I hope you're inspired to play along with the Rock Stars and Patti J's Being Grateful challenge.  For more inspiration, you want to check out my Rock Star team mates.
