What If Wednesday - Repeat Impressions 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 the sketch:

I used "1313-P, Easter Friends" for my image today. 

I stamped my image onto cryogen cardstock and colored it using my Copics.
I cut out my colored image with a die and also a mat.
I added some lace and a few buttons. 

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.

Thanks for stopping by,

Scooter

Thought I would share a picture that Kerri took of Scooter.  He is my now 7 month old black and white Shih Tzu.  He is such a good little boy and makes us all laugh, we really need it here with what has happened in the past 7 months.

Sweet Stamps Monochromatic Challenge

 Today our challenge at Sweet Stamps blog is to create a Monochromatic project/card. This is an awesome challenge, we want to see what you come up with for this theme. Can't wait to see what you all can come up with, but be sure to use a Sweet Stamps stamp....

Anyone can enter, but if you use a Sweet Stamps rubber stamp you get two entries into the challenge for a chance to win a $20 shopping spree. Visit the design team blog and you will see what everyone on the Design team has done.


Here is my creation:

 I used the "Short Teapot Set S012" and the "Pouring Out Wishes 988" sentiment on my card today. I stamped the Tea Pot first, then the cup and then the pouring hearts.I cut out my colored image using Cheery Lynn Scallop Coved Rectangles.  I cut out a mat for behind it.  After looking at my matted image, I decided that I wanted to have some sort of  lacy mat behind my cut out image, but nothing I had really worked.  So I used the Cherry Lynn Lace Light Deco Border and cut the border apart and layered each piece behind my cut out image to create a double frame around my image. I dug out my Medium Rose Cheery Lynn die and made 4 flowers and put a brad in the center of each.  I finished off with a lace bow, the lace was white and I colored it using my copics to match the color of the card and my colored image.

And here is a second card that I made:

 This card uses the "Graduation Bear & Congrats DUO 227" stamp set.  My image is colored with copics.  I made this card for my daughters graduation in June.  Her school colors are gold and black and on graduation day, the girls wear gold gowns and the boys wear black.  Kerri, my daughter, got accepted to Wilson College in Chambersburg, PA for their vet program.  Congrats Kerri!!!!

 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!

Stamp It Renaissance Squares

Hi Everyone!! I am here on this Friday with another sneak peek using the Stamp It collection that will soon be available at Crafter's Companion! I used the stamp Renaissance Squares for my project today.

I created a spotlight card, except I didn't spotlight just one little thing, I spotlighted 4 things.

I was sitting here looking at these stamps, I picked this stamp out and thought it would look good with a few of the squares highlighted.  So I picked out 4 of them and colored them using the new Spectrum Noir alcohol ink markers.

I then cut out each colored square and popped them up using pop dots onto the top of another stamped image.   I double matted my finished image and then added a few pearls and voila, card is done.  Pretty simple today, but I think I really like how it turned out.

See you all next Friday with another sneak peek of another new release..

Crafter's Companion February Challenge

Hi Everyone!!!   Today is the 1st of March and that means it is time for a NEW challenge on the Crafter's Companion Challenge Blog.  This month our challenge to you is to make a project using a Crafter's Companion Stamp and the theme "Going Green".  We want you to create a project with the color green in mind, it can be a card, layout, altered item, etc.  Just make sure you use a Crafter's Companion stamp in order to have a chance to win an awesome PRIZE.


The prize for this challenge is 3 packages of the new Spectrum Noir Alcohol Ink 6 Marker Sets (your choice of color groupings) and a Spectrum Noir 36 Pen Zipper Bag to store your new markers.  These are some really awesome markers and they are very affordable.  Give them a try and you will like them as much as I do.

Here is my creation for the March Challenge of Going Green:

 I used the Swalk Daydream Believer stamp set.  I didn't want to use a dark or a really bright green color, so I went for a very soft green color.  I also used my blender pen to make the lightest color very light.  I used the tip to tip method.  I also used my  markers to color my white ribbon the same green color that I used on my image and to color the white pearls in the 4 corners. I used a cloud template and created some clouds.  My sentiment is stamped onto card stock and I cut it to look like a banner.  I created it to look a bit wavy when I attached it to my card.

Here's a picture of my card flat so you can see the wavy banner:

I added a bunch of pearls to finish off my card.

 So get out those Crafter's Companion stamps and start creating for this challenge and you could win the awesome prize mentioned above.

Make sure you go to the Crafter's Companion USA Challenge Blog to get all the details of how to enter, etc....
