Tic Tac Toe time!  Today Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions gave us this grid to show off a project.  

Here is my card 

This card is another one that is all over the grid, Washi Tape, Birds and Blue, also Birds, Dimensions and Texture.

It was a fun card - I used the image Bird Song and the Happy Spring from the Spring Series.  The texture is an embossing plate and the dimension is pop dots behind Bird Song.  This image was cut with a Circut Maker.  The gold glitter frame was made by using washi tape.

Project of the Week - Envelopes

Today Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions is letting me do the Project of the Week - this one is not so much of a technique but a way to get more use of your favorite stamps.

Confession-- a lot of my cards are made for my grandchildren -- who can't read.  I use my stamps so that it is easy for them to identify a card for them in all the mail that comes to their house.  The following is a long list (in order of use) - but it took me less than 10 minutes to stamp all these!

Stamps used:
Daffodils
Small Cat Silhouette
Cherub Flourish
Love Post
Tumbling Hearts
Jester Banner
Heart, Moon & Stars
Love Stencil
Birdhouse
Balloon
Cat Banner
Rectangle Marquee Frame

First I'll start with the fancy one - I used the Daffodils stamp and embossed it in gold.  First one plain, second colored with copics.   If you decide to use copics - be sure to insert a scratch piece of paper while coloring - copics will go thru the envelope.

This second group was fun to stamp - because they were so quick!

Be sure to check out all the Banners - there are a good many scattered throughout the Repeat Impressions on line catalogue.

Here is a third group - some of these are copic colored.

Two last ones - one a banner the other a marquee.

Hope you start using your stamps on your envelopes and having as much fun with your stamps as I did.  Thanks for looking at my project.

Words, Words, Words Challenge

Today at Repeat Impressions, we have been challenged to do a project using words as the focal point.  I knew immediately what Repeat Impressions stamp I wanted to use.  Here is my card

I used the stamp called Live, Laugh, Love.  I really like this stamp - I'm using it for a Valentine's card, but it is a great one to use all year long.  It has an acetate window cut off the edge,

January's Anything Goes at Repeat Impressions

Hello friends!  Today Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions has an Anything Goes Challenge for us.  At Christmas a friend gave me a giant box of victorian and vintage paper ephemera.  I am giddy over the box and will be using pieces for my card challenges.  This is my card for this week's challenge.

I used some striped vellum for the background and stamped Repeat Impression's Ruffled Heart Border as the base and added some gold elements and the vintage bouquet of flowers.  The love is die cut from gold card stock.

We would love to see what you would do with this challenge because this week --- Anything Goes!

Project of the Week for Repeat Impressions

Good Morning friends!  There's not a better way to begin the New Year than endeavoring to accomplish some New Year's resolutions!  One of mine is to sent out thank you cards.  With the help of a few Repeat Impressions stamps and this technique I'll be able to get that done pretty quick.

Here are the supplies you will need:

1. Background stamp - I've used Flower Power Background
2.  Sentiment stamps - I've used Thanks a Bunch and Hello
3.  Stamp positioner - I used a Misti
4.  Ink
5. Coloring Medium - here I used Copics

The stamped background was quickly colored - took me about 20 minutes to do both these.
The images were sliced about 1/3 of the way and placed on 4.25 x 5.5 cards

Small borders in black and designer paper were added.

Sentiments were stamped using my Misti and some enamel dots and clear drops were added so in less than 30 minutes I had 4 cards ready to go.

Thanks for looking at my Project of the Week.

Repeat Impressions - Spread Your Wings

The background is watercolored and I stamped and heat embossed two Small Butterflies and fussy cut them out.  I also heat embossed the Let Your Dreams.... sentiment on a piece of vellum and wrapped it around the card.
