Designer's Choice Challenge - Repeat Impressions

It's time for a new Challenge over at the House that Stamps Built! 

The Challenge is called Designer's Choice. 

Here's how the "Designer's Choice Challenge" will work!
All of the fabulous design team members for Repeat Impressions 

will be assigned a Wednesday, and we get to set the 

"theme" for the challenge!  The Theme for this

week's DCC is hosted by Lynette and she is challenging

 all of us to do a Father's Day card with Texture. 

Could be embossing, could be flower soft, could be glitter – 

anything that adds a little texture. 

 My very simple card today uses the SOTW "4134-K, His Words".

This was another HARD challenge for me as I usually like

to use alot of Bling and ribbon on my cards and most of

my stamps are flowers or girly stamps.  So after

going through my assortment of stamps, this sentiment 

popped out.  I stamped His Words onto white card stock

with black ink.  I used a Cuttlebug folder to emboss my 

blue card stock, you can't really see the embossing in the

picture, but it is there.  I decided to add a ribbon, but instead

of the usual bow, I tied a knot.  

Here is a closeup of the "4134-K, His Words":

Such great words....

Take a peek at what the rest of the DT has created for

this great Challenge.

Sweet Stamps Wedding/Anniversary Challenge

It's time again for a NEW Challenge

over at Sweet Stamps Blog.  Our challenge this 

week is Wedding/Anniversary. 

Anyone can enter, but if you use a Sweet Stamps rubber

stamp you get 2 entries into the challenge for a

chance to win a $20 shopping Spree.

I used the Wedding Swans 3012.  I stamped it 

with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Cryogen Iridescent

White Card Stock and colored it with my Copics. 

I used the Marianne Designs Creatables Circle Frame

and Elements Dies 112 to cut out my colored image.

I left the paper in the die and used a sponge dauber to

add some Shades Dye ink in Satin Rose to bring out the

embossing from the die.  I added a few pearls to the corners

to finish it off.

Here's a closer look at the Wedding Swans:

Repeat Impressions What IF Wednesday Sketch Challenge

It’s WHAT IF? Wednesday 

and time for a new sketch challenge! 

The sketch that Wendy designed for the Rock

Stars to follow is:

Here is my take on this sketch:

 I kinda rotated the sketch for my card. 

I have used four Repeat Impressions Stamps

on my card today.  They are 2423-L Under the Sea,

4105-E Sea Turtle, 4102-D Sea Horse and

2412-E Small Tropical Fish.

 I stamped them onto Cryogen Card Stock and

colored them with my Copics. 

I used my Spellbinders Labels18 to make 

a frame for my colored image. 

If you haven't guessed it yet, my favorite color card stock

at the moment is this teal/aqua color.  I LOVE this color....

It is actually the color I painted my Craft room.....

Here's a closeup of my Under Water scene:

Head on over to the House That Stamps Built blog and 

see what the rest of the Rock Stars have created with

this great sketch.  While you are there why not enter

a creation that you have done following the sketch.

The rules are really simple......

Your card doesn’t even have to be made with Repeat Impressions stamps, 

but if you would like to include our designs we would really love to see them! 

Plus you will get an additional entry in our random.org drawing

for using our stamps in your submissions! Simply create a 

card based on the sketch, upload your card to your blog

or Splitcoast gallery, then link your card to this post 

on The House That Stamps Built Blog.

Have Fun and I can't wait to see all the wonderful creations.

Sweet Stamps Masculine Challenge

It's time again for a NEW Challenge

over at Sweet Stamps Blog.  Our challenge this 

week is Masculine. 

Anyone can enter, but if you use a Sweet Stamps rubber

stamp you get 2 entries into the challenge for a

chance to win a $20 shopping Spree.

This was a pretty hard challenge for me as I like to use

alot of BLING and Ribbon and bows on my cards. 

I stamped the Tree 1 - 784  onto white card stock

using a rainbow ink pad.  I then added 

Hilly Grass - 734  to make it look like the tree is on the 

ground and not floating in the air.

For my sentiment I used the Happy Father's Day 948 

with the same rainbow ink pad as the tree. 

Since I couldn't add ribbon and bows or any pearls,

I added a few buttons to finish it off.

Here's a closeup of my stamped images:

Be sure to visit Sweet Stamps blog and see 

what the rest of the team has created for you.   

And please join in on the fun!

Sweet Stamps Medallions Challenge

 It is time for a NEW Challenge at Sweet Stamps.

The challenge this week is Medallions.  You

must use one of Sweet Stamps Medallions on your creation.

Here is my card:

 I used the Six Heart Medallion. I stamped it

3 times onto Rainbow Vellum with White Dye Ink

and embossed it with Black Sparkle Embossing powder.

I cut out the whole medallion for the bottom layer.

I then cut out the 2nd layer and then the 3rd layers.  I used

a sparkle brad for the center. 

Here's a closeup of my Medallion:

 I then used some of the scraps and used a border

punch to punch the edge.  I added some 

rainbow ribbon and a bow.

Hope you like my card today and we at Sweet Stamps

can't wait to see what you come up with for our

challenge.
