Happy Summer? What?

Hello stamping friends!  Wendy's challenge for us at Repeat Impressions is "Anything Goes" -- so....this may seem to be a little late - but bear with me.  I am fixated on Wendy's trees at her on line store.  I love all of them!  This one is one of my favorites!  I would love to be under these trees right now.

The trees are called Hammock and the Happy Summer sentiment was stamped underneath.

What would you do?  We would love to see what you would do - Remember it does not have to be a card - you can make a layout or a 3-D project.  Just remember ANYTHING GOES!   You don't have to use Repeat Impression stamps but if you do, you name will be entered twice (2x) for a random drawing for a really nice gift certificate from Repeat Impressions.  Check out Wendy's blog, The House That Stamps Built for the complete guidelines and link your project there.

Here is the list of Rock Star Designers who have made something to inspire you.  Good luck - and I'm looking forward to see your projects.

I Love Fall

Good morning!  Joy here with a card made with supplies from the Classy Cards 'n Such on line store.  I love the cool crisp days of fall.

The paper is from a 6x6 paper pad called Harvest Lane by Simple Stories.  I used the book mark tag from Blueprints 13 to cut the pocket insert.  Then used my Dots Folder by Crafts Too for the pocket.  The little tag and fall banner are in the Simple Stories paper pad.

Our Texas days are not fall yet - but I'm sure they will be here soon.  Now -- it's your turn!  Why not take this opportunity to show us a fall card and join us in the challenge.  We would love to see what you would do!  Just go to Classy Cards 'n Such Blogspot.com and look at the details for the challenge.  Then link your project there or here.  You could be the winner of a nice prize!

You Are Beautiful

Hello friends!  It's Joy posting a card made with supplies from the Classy Card 'n Such online store.  I wanted to send a card to a sweet friend who is the most helpful person I know.

I first cut out 2 Decorative Blossom Corners by Heartfelt Creations, and Spellbinders Labels 22.  I cut the Decorative Blossom Corners into pieces that fit around the Labels 22.  A pencil circle was drawn on the white card stock and one of the flowers from Floral Fan Elements by JustRite was stamped around the pencil circle and the sentiment from You Are Beautiful by Impression Obsession was stamped inside the wreath circle.  Just one copic was used to do just a touch of shading on the flowers and was topped off with some Wink of Stella.   The green paper is from Graphic 45 and called Home Sweet Home.    The pink paper is from Key To My Heart by Heartfelt Creations. The two panels were popped up using the Large Joy Foam Pads for a little dimension.

I hope my friend knows how much I appreciate her when she opens this card.  Have a happy stamping day.

Autumn Leaves

Hello friends!  Today Wendy owner of Repeat Impressions has a sketch challenge for us to try.  Here is the sketch

Don't you just love her sketches!  They really help get some creative juices flowing.  I wanted to use a pop-up card - so...

The tree is called Winter Tree, but I added a little color with my copics and made it a fall tree.  The inside leaf is called Maple Leaf Silhouette.  The sentiment says "Autumn Splendor begins with one single leaf".  The sentiment is part of the 4 stamp set called Autumn Flip Set.  The single leaf is one leaf of the Random Leaves stamp.

Now it's your turn!!  What would you do with Wendy's sketch? We would love to see what you would do - Remember it does not have to be a card - you can make a layout or a 3-D project.  Just use the sketch as inspiration.   You don't have to use Repeat Impression stamps but if you do, you name will be entered twice (2x) for a random drawing for a really nice gift certificate from Repeat Impressions.  Check out Wendy's blog, The House That Stamps Built for the complete guidelines and link your project there.

Merry Christmas Deer

Good morning friends!  Here is another card I'll be adding to my folder of Christmas cards.  The supplies to make it are found at the Classy Cards 'n Such on line store.  I love going thru the store finding goodies.  When you register, it automatically creates a wish list for you and each time you visit the website, your wish list is there - waiting to be put in your cart!  I love that! (my wish list is long!)

Here is my card

The plaid paper comes from Graphic 45's Twelve Days of Christmas and was cut using one of the dies from My Favorite Things Blueprints 13.  The sentiment is from Just Rite's Noel Christmas Ornaments and was heat embossed using Heavyweight Vellum and Black Fine Detail Embossing powder by Sparkle 'n Sprinkle.  The deer was stamped on a circle die and then placed on a Picot Edge Circle by Spellbinders.  I added a little framed square of the plaid paper to anchor the vellum.

Now -- it's your turn!  Why not take this opportunity to get a head start on your Christmas card stash, by joining us in the challenge.  We would love to see what you would do with the picture as inspiration!  Just go to Classy Cards 'n Such Blogspot.com and look at the details for the challenge.  Then link your project there or here.  You could be the winner of a nice prize!

I love you

Hello, Joy here.  Grandchildren are one of God's wonderful blessings of life.  As I was going thru my scraps of paper from Classy Cards 'n Such, I decided to show how quick and easy it is to use some of those scraps and how they work so well together.  Here is the card:

The background paper was embossed with an Anna Griffin folder called Matelasse.  The papers are Vintage Bliss by from Simple Stories and Candy Cane Lane by Bo Bunny.  I cut one of the little insta gram frames from the Simple Stories Papers - there are 10 of them in the 6x6 pad, put in a picture of one of my grandsons and popped it up with Small Joy Foam Pads.   This little frame says Smile Big; each one has a different sentiment.  The I Love You is from Hugs & Kisses sentiments by JustRite Stamps.  I heat embossed it with Fine Black Embossing Powder from Sparkle 'n Sprinkle.

Have a happy stamping day and don't forget to hug your grandkids.

Repeat Impression's Project of the Week

Good morning!  Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions has some new BIG sentiment stamps - that I'm crazy about and wanted to show you one quick way to use them as the centerpiece for a card.

First stamp one of the large greetings towards the center of the card and a smaller one near the bottom right.  I used the Hello set.

Then I used a black Spica Glitter Pen to make a line below and above the hello.  I used a t-square ruler to make sure the line was straight.

The large sentiment was then masked off.

Then the Small Butterfly from the Summer series and the Fern were stamped.

and the masked was removed

The last step was to color the images with a few copic markers, add a few dots and some sequins then put on card stock.

This was really a quick process!  Get some of the large sentiments and see what you can do.  I know you will have as much fun as I did!

Poppy Thanks

Good morning friends!  I ordered some new paper from the Classy Cards 'n Such on line store and could hardly wait to break it open!  The first one I opened was Heartfelt Creations's Blazing Poppy. This 12x12 pad is full of gorgeous paper and tags (I'm a real sucker for the tags).

Here is my first card

I used the embossing folder called Smitten by Anna Griffin on some poppy colored paper from the 6x6 pad by Graphic 45 called Home Sweet Home, cut out one of the tags from the Heartfelt Creations 12x12 Blazing Poppy pad.  The Thanks  is from Impression Obsession Greeting Set.  The twine is Doddle Bug - that's on sale right now in the Classy Cards 'n Such on line store.  I covered the poppies and the thanks with some Wink of Stella.

Have a Happy stamping day!

Repeat Impression's Designer's Choice

Hello stamping friends!  Today at Repeat Impressions, it's Deonna's turn to issue a challenge.  She asked us to do a project with an autumn/fall theme.  Here's my card

I used the sentiment from a flip set called Autumn.  It fits perfectly on the small stitched square in the Flip Stitch Die Set.  The leaf called Maple Leaf Silhouette.

What would you do?  Now it's your turn!!  We would love to see what you would do - Remember it does not have to be a card - you can make a layout or a 3-D project.  Just use a fall/autumn theme.   You don't have to use Repeat Impression stamps but if you do, you name will be entered twice (2x) for a random drawing for a really nice gift certificate from Repeat Impressions.  Check out Wendy's blog, The House That Stamps Built for the complete guidelines and link your project there.

Autumn Love

Good Morning!  Joy here today showing you a card made with supplies from the on-line Classy Cards 'n Such store.  Weddings are so much fun! Seeing couples who love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives with each other is so endearing.

Here is a Wedding card I made for the Classy Cards 'n Such challenge for this week.  We were to use this picture as inspiration and think Autumn Wedding.

I picked out the colors of peach, green, yellow and red and the love sentiment.

I used 4 embossing folders Aviary from Anna Griffin, Dots from Crafts Too,    Cherry Blossom by Darice and Smitten by Anna Griffin.  These were cut into strips and put on a page die cut from Blueprints 4 by My Favorite Things.  The hearts are from the same die set and placed onto a scroll die cut called Amira Flourish by Memory Box.  The Love sentiment is from the JustRite Stamp Set called Hope and Love Vintage Labels Eight and Nine.  The hearts are popped up just a little with Small Joy Foam Pads.

Why don't you join in the challenge with us?  We would love to see what you would do with an Autumn Wedding theme with the picture as inspiration!  Just go to Classy Cards 'n Such Blogspot.com and look at the details for the challenge.  Then link your project there or here.  You could be the winner of a nice prize!

Celebrate

Good morning, Joy here posting a card made with supplies from  the Classy Cards 'n Such on line store.

 First was to emboss a piece of white card stock with an embossing folder called Juliet Damask by Anna Griffin.   Then I added some designer paper from the 6x6 paper pack called Vintage Bliss by Simple Stories.  The celebrate word was die cut, then Wink of Stella added and glossy accents on top of that for some extra shine.   The butterfly stamp is from Majestic Monarchs and it was die cut using the Majestic Monarch die both from Sweet 'n Sassy and covered with Wink of Stella.  The corners were rounded using the corner rounder of the Envelope Punch Board.

I hope your day is one to celebrate - every day we should celebrate something!

Repeat Impressions Color Challenge

Good Morning! Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions aways comes up with the most interesting challenges!  Here are the colors.

I immediately thought of the new Brusho Colors that she has in the online store.  I have to say once I got into them,  they are fun.  

The  bold "happy" sentiment is perfect with the bold colors.  The Large butterfly is from the Summer Series and was popped up with some foam.  

Now it's your turn!!  We would love to see what you would do - Remember it does not have to be a card - you can make a layout or a 3-D project.  Just use these colors.  You don't have to use Repeat Impression stamps but if you do, you name will be entered twice (2x) for a random drawing for a really nice gift certificate from Repeat Impressions.  Check out Wendy's blog, The House That Stamps Built for the complete guidelines and link your project there.
