STAMP OF THE WEEK AT REPEAT IMPRESSIONS

Hi blog friends! 

I hope you all had a chance to play in the Repeat Impressions "Pairings" blog hop this past weekend and congratulations to all the winners.

A special shout out to the winner from my blog - Marie.  Congratulations Marie!!! Thank you for hopping with us and for your comments.  (I'm linking Marie's blog so you can see pay her a visit and see her awesome creations).

It was such fun to be a part of a new release series of stamps from Repeat Impressions and these new sets are a blast to create with.   

Well, it's MONDAY and over at The House That Stamps Built it's time for a new Stamp of the Week, which means you can purchase it for 50% off the retail price.  This happens every week at The House, and it's a great way to stretch your dollars and grab some fabulous rubber.  Just link up to The House, grab the code and add this great stamp to your collection.   

This week we're featuring stamp #7121-M "Goddess" 

 
 
This is a fun stamp to use with so many of the sentiments you'll find in the same link I've provided above...I couldn't decide on a sentiment, so I will add one when I send this card. 
 
For this card I also used RI border stamps #1505-M "Rose Border"  After stamping The Goddess with VersaMark Ink, I then used white ep and heat set her.  I then stamped the rose border with VersaMark and did the same thing.  I stamped the goddess image again on cardstock with Memories "Midnight Blue" die ink then fussy cut it out and  popped it over the white embossed image using pop dots.  It appears as a shadow behind the stamped image.  I like the effect but I'm not sure you can see it well here. 
 
Please check out what my RI Rock Star Teamies are doing with this stamp
 
I hope you all have a fabulous week!  See you on Wednesday for another What If? Wednesday sketch  challenge and another opportunity to win some fabulous RI stamps.

DESIGNER'S CHOICE CHALLENGE AT REPEAT IMPRESSIONS

Hi there blog friends, 

It's time for another Designer's Choice Challenge at The House That Stamps Built.  This week it's Joy's turn to challenge us and her challenge is to make a male card. 

This IS a challenge, because like many of you, I have a difficult time making a guy card.  However, with all the fabulous wildlife and outdoor stamps at Repeat Impressions, this isn't as hard as it once was. 

For my card I choose #2914-I "Duck Take Off" and I used a technique called "chalkboard". 

Come on over to "The House" and play along with Joy's fun challenge and be entered to win a certificate for your choice of the fabulous RI stamps. 

In the meantime check out the awesome cards my teamies made for Joy's challenge. 

 
 
Before you leave, check out my right-hand sidebar and the annoucement of the Repeat Impressions Blog Hop featuring the new stamp sets, "Pairings" coming up on Thursday, May 9.  There are several ways you can win some awesome prizes so stop over at The House That Stamps Built and check it out. 
 
 
See you then and thanks for stopping by!
