Pick of the Week

 

Good morning Stamping Friends- today it is my turn The House That Stamps Built to pick a stamp and make a couple of projects.  Today my focus will be on Happy Cling Set - Wendy has quite a few of these and this is one of my favorites.  Here is what I will be using:

and I'm adding a few little stamps they are:

Ballerina Pig (the link is under Toys)
Love Letter

I used the "happy" to do some shadow stamping and combined some of the words for the first card.  It was easy to stamp the Love Letter stamp in different colors.  I stamped a few extra ones, cut them out and added pop dots.

For the second card I put a few of the words together to make "You make me happy dance".    Ballerina Pig was stamped, colored with copics and attached to the card with a small wobble that I found in my stash.

Thanks for looking at my cards today.  You can find all the stamps and sentiments at Repeat Impressions.  Check out all the stamps that are on sale.

Tic Tac Toe Challenge

Hi friends!  Hope you are enjoying summer and maybe a little time off.  Today Wendy has a Tic Tac Toe Challenge for us.  Here is the grid she has created.  So many possibilities!

Here is the card I made.

I used patterned paper, butterflies and sequins.  I love the butterfly image - which is Small butterfly.  There are several sizes and views of butterflies.  I wish you could see all the texture that Wendy has created in the Butterfly Stamps.  And of course the sentiment is perfect for summer time.  The sentiment is called Some days... and is in a special Summer Section.

Christmas in July!

Good morning friends!  Today Patti, one of the Rock Star Designers for Repeat Impressions has challenged us to make a Christmas project for Christmas in July.

Yikes - this is a real challenge for me.  I am at my summer house in Maine and I brought every Repeat Impression stamp I have except for my Christmas things!  Oh Yikes!  But never fear - some of Repeat Impression stamps are so versatile and they can be used for many occasions!  So here is what I made.

I used the stamp Rejoice - which is in the Easter section under Seasonal and Holidays and I used traditional red and green paper and a die cut holly.  Bam! - Got my first Christmas card made.

Hey, if I can do it - so can you!

Come join in this challenge.   Inspire us and maybe meet some new friends!  You don't have to use Repeat Impression stamps but if you do, your name will be entered twice (2x) for a random drawing for a really nice gift certificate from Repeat Impressions.

Tic-Tac-Toe Time at Repeat Impressions

Hi Stamping Friends!  Today Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions has a Tic Tac Toe grid for us - here it is.

and here is my card

It is one of the long ones that measure 8.5 by 3.25 that fit in a standard size 9 envelope.  The image is Baby and the sentiment is one of the Quartet Compliments.  I cut out 3 of the babies, stacked them and then colored the top one.  I then put the babies on little wobbles for cards.  So they wiggle - just love them!  Oh by the way, my grid was Tone on Tone, Non-standard card shape and Babies.

Pick of the Week

Today Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions is allowing me to pick a stamp and tell you a little about it.

A few weeks ago I used one of these for a challenge card and I kinda went a little crazy and decided it was my new favorite.  They come from a category called Vertical Stamps - be sure to check this section out.  There are a lot of really neat images.  I used the stamp to make cards and envelopes.

I used the Floral Positive and the Fish Positive.  I like using the Fish Positive because it was SOOOOO.. easy to make a masculine card.  The sentiment in both is Today is a gift...  I also used the same stamps on envelopes - kinda jazzes them up a bit.  I added Wink of Stella and they have a soft sparkle.

Be sure to take a look at the category of Vertical Stamps.  You will find some awesome stamps and sentiments.  Thank you for looking at my cards.

Have a Happy Stamping Day!

Tag- You are It!

Today from Repeat Impressions, Laurie has given us the challenge to make a tag - I LOVE tags - and this will be fun!  Here are 3 tags I made.

I used Garden Bench, Grass Border, To Plant a Garden sentiment and one of the trees from the Tree Flip Set.  The bench was cut out four times and stacked up for each tag.  I colored the top one with copics and used scrap paper on them.

Come join in this challenge.   Inspire us and maybe meet some new friends!  You don't have to use Repeat Impression stamps but if you do, your name will be entered twice (2x) for a random drawing for a really nice gift certificate from Repeat Impressions.
