WILDLY CAPABLE YOU

Hello blog friends!!! 

I've got a quick post using more of the fabulous stamps from the Technique Junkies Stamps March and April 2019 releases.  

A simple watercolor wash for a background behind the beautiful "Sketched Tulip" , add the wonderful sentiment "Wildly Capable"  (which I did a little surgery on).  Add a few splatters with black acrylic paint for added detail and there you have a clean and simple card.  

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you found some inspiration.  

Enabler alert!  You can purchase these stamps and any stamps from the Technique Junkies Stamps store and get a full 10% your entire purchase by using my personal discount code TJ10CHERI at checkout.  Enjoy!!!! 

BEAUTIFUL BLUEBERRIES - MY PICK OF THE WEEK

Hello everyone!  Cheri here with my pick of the week for you for The House That Stamps Built and Repeat Impressions Stamps.

The stamps I used here are discounted 20% for one week only, so don't miss out on this opportunity.  

Here in Maine, it's all about the blueberries and Wendy, has some gorgeous blueberry stamps.  If you like to color, these are exceptional stamps to color with.  I had such a fun time creating these cards and matching envelopes.  

RI#1503-M Blueberry Strand

RI#1001-B Blueberry Border

RI#2703-E "Small Blueberry Cluster"

RI# 2701-I "Large Blueberry Cluster"

I used Copic Markers to color all the images and (here's a tip) in order to keep the markers from bleeding through on the envelopes, I placed a piece of plastic packaging inside the envelop while I colored.  

I hope you were inspired by my creation with these blueberry stamps and I hope you take the opportunity to grab them for yourself while this 20% discount is available.  You won't be sorry.  

APRIL 2019 INSPIRATION CHALLENGE AT THE HOUSE THAT STAMPS BUILT

Hello House friends!!! 

Our Wednesday challenge this week is an inspiration challenge.  You pick from the inspiration board, what inspires your creative juices, then show off the results at The House That Stamps Built blog.  You never know, your entry into the challenge might just win you a $25.00 gift certificate to pick out some fabulous Repeat Impressions Stamps.    

Perhaps this card I made will help get your mojo going.  

My card uses the incredible RI#912-K "Tulip Bouquet", one of the many, many floral stamps available in the RI store.  I colored the image with Copic Markers and paired it with sentiment RI#1112-E "Just A Note".  This makes a lovely card for any occasion.  

Enabler alert!!!  If you'd like to get these stamps (or any Repeat Impressions stamps) for yourself, and you'd like a little discount, please use my discount code rr10cw.

After stamping and coloring the image on a separate card stock panel, I cut an identical size second panel and die cut an oval in the center.  I then took that panel and embossed it and finally adhering it over the image.  The sentiment was stamped on a scrap piece and die cut then adhered to the front panel.  Very easy card to make.  

Here's your inspiration - let's see what you can create from it.  My inspiration came from the gorgeous colors and the flowers. 

There's more inspiration ideas for you at the blogs of my team mates.  Take a look and leave them some love.  I know they'd appreciate it.

LILY OF THE VALLEY SEASON

Hello everyone!!! 

I'm pretty partial to the lily of the valley flower.  They have such a sweet fragrence and I adore the tiny bell shaped flowers.  They are also my birth month flower.  So I was thrilled when I saw this stamp "Lily of the Valley Background" from Mitten State Stamps in the April 2019 release collection.  

I paired it with a sentiment from "French Sentiments  Set of 4" (another favorite set of mine).  

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you found some inspiration.   If you'd like to add these the stamps I've used here to your collection, I can offer a 10% discount.  Just use my personal discount code TJ10CHERI.  

Have a great week!  

APRIL 2019 TIC, TAC, TOE CHALLENGE AT THE HOUSE THAT STAMPS BUILT

Hello House friends!!!! 

It's a Tic, Tac, Toe Wednesday and a new challenge at The House That Stamps Built.  

For this card I used Repeat Impressions Stamps #2610-J "Jump For Joy", #1507-J "Grass Border" and #1306-G "Here Comes ".

After sponging the edge of the card stock panel, I stamped the grass border across the edge.  The rabbit was stamped in Gray Flannel Memento dye ink.  I wish it had been a better image result, but I didn't want to start over or restamp it so I went with what I had.  

The sentiment was stamped on a scrap with VersaMark and heat embossed in white ep.  After attaching the floral and pastel wash tape, the entire panel was die cut with a scalloped die.  I added an assortment of bubbles with some Viva Pearl Pens I have for a little fun detail.

My tic, tac, toe path was horizontally across the top, Easter, Washi Tape and Pastel Colors.  

Come on over and play along with us at The House and show us what you can do with this challenge board.  

If you need more inspiration, you will love to see what my Rock Star team mates have to show you.
