Joy To The World

Hi and welcome to my blog. I want to show you a Christmas card I made using a new Just for Fun stamp! Today we really need joy in this world. I hope the meaning of this Christmas season will bring much joy to you. Just for Fun stamps has a brand new challenge this month. Please pop over to see it and we hope you can join in the fun. You might even win a gift certificate to the store! Check out all the other designers' inspiration too!

For the background of this card I used a snowflake embossing folder.  I stamped the Just For Fun Skyline Silhouette stamp with blue ink onto white card stock, fussy cut it and adhered it to the snowflake background.  I used the Memory Box Orchard Tree Frame die to frame the card. I added Stickles glitter to the tree and to the tops of the buildings. The saying is from the Sentiments 1 unmounted sheet.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a great day!

A Fall Day

Hi and welcome to my blog! I hope you are enjoying your day. I want to show you a card I made using a new stamp actually called Spring by the Lake Silhouette. Even though it is not Spring I used this stamp for a Fall card!

I made the background by coloring with watercolor crayons on the back of a leaf stencil. I spritzed the stencil with water and laid it on some watercolor paper. I lifted off the stencil and this is the fun background it gave. I stamped the stamp in black ink on top of the background. I framed it using a Gina Marie die. This was pop dotted to a dotted swiss green panel. I added some leaf brads and a cord.

You still have a few days left to join in our challenge! We hope to see you there.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a blessed day!

Hi and welcome to my blog. Are you almost ready for Thanksgiving? I want to show you a card I made. It is not a Thanksgiving card but a thank you card. I used a Penny Black stamp and a thank you die. I love the Penny Black hedgehogs. So cute! I colored with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and added flowers and a bow. I cut the image out using a QuickKutz scallop die.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day and a Happy Thanksgiving! Don't eat too much! LOL!

Hi Everyone! This is quite a crazy stamp to be using, but I was challenged by a challenge on a stamping board to use a stamp that you never use or have fallen out of favor with! Well, when would you really use this stamp? I actually bought this stamp in Scotland for a souvenir since we saw these shaggy cows on our tour. This one looks quite grumpy but they are actually docile animals. They look so funny with their long hair.

The bits and bobs I used on this card are the cow stamp, the handmade paper at the bottom, the inked background and an old cardboard star stencil. The saying stamp is quite old too. 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are inspired to go through your stash and find old and unused things to create with.

Have a great day!

Three Tier Card

Hi and welcome to my blog! It is a beautiful day here today. I hope you are enjoying your day. I want to show you a three tier card I made. This is the first time I have made one! I used several House Mouse stamps and sayings and made this a birthday card. Here is the picture of the card closed up. I used clear sparkle embossing powder on the frosting of the doughnut.  I used the Gina Marie Stitched Circle die to cut out the image.

Here is the opened card. You pull up in the ribbon to activate it.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!

Happy Thanksgiving

Hi and welcome to my blog. I hope you are enjoying the Fall season as much as I am. I want to show you a card I made using several old and new stamps from Just for Fun.

 

I used new stamps Cluster of Stalks  and Tiny Flying Birds.  I stamped the older Stamptangle Pumpkin Lg.  on orange card stock and embossed with brown embossing powder. I fussy cut it and popdotted it onto the card. The two birds is an older stamp, Pair of Birds. The saying is from the Sentiment 1 stamp sheet.

To make the background I brushed watercolors on watercolor paper, crinkled some saran wrap and laid it on the wet card until it dried. I pulled off the saran wrap and it gave a tie dye pattern.

Please join us in this month's challenge. You do not need to use a Just For Fun stamp, but we would love it if you could. We would love to see your wonderful creations. You might also win a gift certificate to the store!

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Bits and Bobs #21

Hi and welcome to another bits and bobs day. Today I found my stack of rub ons that I have not used in ages! They always add nice detail to a project. I found this die cut in a bag and decided to put my rub on on it. Aren't these pretty rub ons from K & Co?

This is how it came out when I finished rubbing it.

I layered this piece on an embossed green background. The bird from Inkadinakdo had been stamped with black ink onto orange card stock and fussy cut. I added rhinestones that came with the rub ons and also added a black cord bow.

Dig through some of your stuff and you may find some fun items that you have not used on your cards in a long time. Have fun!
