Tea for Two

Hello crafty friends!

Today we have a new challenge on the Eureka! Stamps Blog

This weeks challenge theme is
Tea for Two.

I chose to use Lg. Teapot (#11702) from

Eureka! Stamps.

I stamped the image with Versa Fine black onyx ink and

colored it with water color crayons.

I used a border punch to make the slits for the ribbon to thread through.

The image was fussy cut and adhered to the front panel with foam tape.

 

Thanks for stopping by today to see what I've created.

I hope you have been inspired in some way and will

 join in the fun of the challenge.

For all the particulars, check out the

Eureka! Stamps Blog.

 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Fern Background

Hello!

Last week I posted a card using this same

"Fern Background" (#58401) from

Eureka! Stamps

Today I'm showing you another card using it.

This time I stamped onto a piece of patterned paper.

I thought the pattern worked well with the ferns.

It's so easy to change the look by using a patterned paper.

Inside I used

"Thinking of you" (#7706)

also from Eureka! Stamps

A lovely card that can be made very quickly and easily.

 

Thanks for stopping today, I hope you'll come again soon.

Leave a comment if you will, I'd love to hear what you think.

 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Circles and Stripes Challenge #33

Hello blog friends!

It's time for another Eureka! Stamps Challenge.

For the particulars about how to play along, go to

the Eureka! Stamps Blog

This weeks challenge is

 "Circles and Stripes"

I used some striped paper and punched circles for my card.

I simply layered the circles and added the flower and butterflies.

My card opens to a little box that contains the sentiment.

I used

"Sunshine Day" (#15003)

from Eureka! Stamps

I stamped the sentiment onto white card stock and used

FlexMarkers to color the little flowers.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

I hope you will join the challenge and let us see what you create.

 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Easter Eggs

Happy Easter!

A little earlier some of my facebook friends were "discussing" coloring Easter eggs and I decided that I should make some.

The only food coloring I had was yellow so I decided to get some of my crafty stuff out and see what I could do.

Below you can see the results. 

Some things worked and some didn't.

The things that worked the best were the VersaMark ink and Mica powder and the Ranger Alcohol Inks.

Now that I have these all done, I'm thinking they probably aren't the best things to use, being as they aren't food safe products.

So I wouldn't advise using these products for coloring eggs.

I'm figuring it's just on the outside of the shell, so I should be okay.

 

So all in all, I think that if I took some time I could really do something pretty cool with some crafting products.

Of course, I did make a mess of myself with the alcohol inks.  LOL!

Most of it came off with some Blending Solution.

Last year I stamped on my Easter eggs and colored the images.

Check them out in this post

Feathers

Hello crafty friends!

Today I have a card to show you using

"Feather on Side" (#6303) and

"Thinking of you" (#7706)

from Eureka! Stamps.

Feather on Side was stamped randomly

 onto white card stock and colored with water color crayons.

Honestly, I don't know if there are feathers in these colors,

but I sure had fun coloring them.

I used a rubber stamp, but this is also available as a digital stamp. 

The Thinking of you is a digital stamp, it is also available as a rubber stamp.

Personally, I like to work with the rubber stamps, but the digis are so convenient, since they can be re-sized to whatever size you need.

So, take your pick.  Eureka! Stamps has wonderful images available in both.

 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Eureka! Stamps Challenge #32

Hello there stampers!

It's time for another Eureka! Stamps Challenge today.

For all the particulars, pop on over to the

Eureka! Stamps Blog.

I hope you'll join in the fun.

Our theme this week is

"It's In The Words"

I used 2 Eureka! Stamps images for my card.

My "words" are

"Not a Day" (#19401)

The background image is

"Fern Background" (#58401)

The Fern Background was stamped with a rubber stamp and Versa Fine ink.

The sentiment is a digital stamp, printed from my computer.

This was a very simple card to make, but I think it turned out quite nicely.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have been inspired in some way and that you will play along with our challenge.

 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
