Repeat Impressions Designer's Choice Challenge

Today Cheri one of the Repeat Impressions Rock Stars challenged all the other designers to make a card using the colors red, white and black.  Here is my card:



I used the image called Mina from Wendy's Far East Series.  I just love this image and it is very detailed.  I embossed a piece of cardstock and put a bright red bow on it.

Now it's your turn.  Make a card using these colors and link it on Wendy's blog, The House That Stamps Built.  She is going to draw a random name and the winner will receive a great gift certificate from Repeat Impressions.

Here is the list of designers with great projects, check them out for some inspiration.

Creative Belli Challenge

Darcie, owner of The Creative Belli Challenge has challenged us today to make a project - layout, 3-D or card - maybe even some wall art using the colors red, white and black.  Here is my card
The image is from Repeat Impressions called Easter Lily.  Typically I don't think of black and red as Easter colors, but I thought this would be a great image for the detailed matting.

Here is the list of designers with projects for your inspiration.
 Now it's your turn -- make a project and link it on the Creative Belli Challenge blog.  We would love to see what you create.

Stamp TV Favorite Things Challenge

Tonight Caroline has arranged a STAMP TV Blog Hop.  Our inspiration is from one of the songs from the movie The Sound of Music.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

If you have come from Geri's blog, you are right on target. If not, you may want to go to Stamp TV and start there, so you will not miss any inspiration.  Here is my first card:
One of my favorite things -- the Stamp It Big stamp set!! Love it.  Paper is GKD called Pool Side.  The little round background for the buttons is from Simple Snowflakes, cardstock is Pure Luxury White and Chocolate Brown.

Next up using the Stamp It Big Stamp Set:
 
Used the balloons from Scooter Diva, cardstock is Blue Raspberry and Pure Luxury White and paper is Hello Sunshine.


Because this card is a square, I used a glycine bag to hand deliver.  I used Ticket Trio as a closure. 

Now pop on over to Karen's blog and she will inspire you with her card.  Thank you for looking at my card and have a HAPPY stamping day.

Stamp TV Color Combo Challenge Blog Hop

Today Carolina from Stamp TV has arranged a Color Challenge Blog Hop for us.  Geri from the Alumni Design Team has chosen the colors of  pink, red and one neutral (white, black or tan) for the challenge.

If you have come from Karen's blog  (I' m sure you loved her card) you are right on target!  If not, you might want to start at the beginning of Stamp TV right here.    So you will not miss any of the amazing projects!

Here is my 1st card:
This used the stamps from Seasonal Labels - the sweet little "love" sentiment is from the same set - I just did a little masking and was able to just use the love part of the stamp.  The cardstock is Black Onyx from Gina K.

Since the card is black, I put this on the inside in order to make it a little easier to write on:

The next card uses the "blackboard technique" that seems to be so popular now.
The darling little owl &stamp sentiment are from Sun-Kissed Autumn, the swirls are from Seasonal Labels, and the little heart is from Ticket Trio.  The beautiful scroll frame is from an older set that has
FABULOUS frames for making those neat chalkboard frames you see on Pinterest and is called Festive Labels (check it out here).  One of the things I like about Gina K stamp sets is that she packs so many stamps in a set, it is easy to find little ones that look great on those chalkboard cards.

Make sure to leave a comment as you go along because we will choose a random comment and that stamper will win a grab bag of Gina K. Designs products! Look for the announcement on Tuesday, February 12.

Now go along to  Geri's blog and get ready to say "wow", because she always has the most beautiful cards!

Thanks for looking at my card and have a Happy stamping day!
