Eureka! Stamps Challenge - Add Some Bling

It's Monday, so that means it's time for another 

Eureka! Stamps Challenge.

This weeks challenge is

"Add Some Bling"

I chose to use

"Lg Filagree Heart" (#24601) and

"Happy Anniversary" (#9004) both from

Eureka! Stamps

I stamped the heart and the sentiment onto

black card stock with VersaMark Ink 

and heat embossed them with 

white embossing powder.

I then trimmed them out, adhered them to some 

light purple vellum and cut around them leaving a

little border.

I then adhered them to the card base.

For the "bling" I added pearl accents in a

coordinating color.

I hope you'll pop over the 

Eureka! Stamps Blog

and check out all the particulars 

about the challenge.

I'm sad to announce that this will be my last 

challenge as a design team member,

I started on the QKR Stampede design team in 

October of 2010.

Since then I have been a member of sister companies

Eureka! Stamps,

QKR Stampede 

and

Biblical Impressions

Design Teams.

But the time has come for me to resign from the team.

Please continue to follow my blog as I have lots of fun things

coming along the way.

There will be scrapbooking, more about Ireland,

Silhouette projects and, of course stamping.

I'm hoping to try some new techniques

and I'll still be doing guest tutorials on 

Mashed Potatoes and Crafts.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you'll come again soon and 

see what I'm up to.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Lace and Pearls Challenge

"Lace and Pearls"

that's the challenge this week on 

The Eureka! Stamps Blog

For my card I used

"Lg Filagree Heart"  (#24601) 

"Happy Anniversary"  (#9004) from

Eureka! Stamps

I started by stamping the heart with red ink onto white card stock.

I fussy cut the heart and added 

a few different sizes of pearls to the heart.

The Happy Anniversary was heat embossed with white embossing powder.

For a perfect mat I used Perfect Layers Mini Tools from

Perfect Paper Crafting

The heart and sentiment were added to the red panel with 

foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you've been inspired

 in some way.

Embossing 2 times.

Hello crafty friends.

Today I have a card I made with

"Lg Filagree Heart" (#24601) from

Eureka! Stamps.

I used the stamp in 2 ways.

I first stamped it onto the purple card stock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

I then used the same technique on a piece of scrap patterned paper.

I made a template and cut out 3 hearts from that piece.

These were adhered with foam tape.

I used white crochet cotton for the strings.

 

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you've been inspired in some way and maybe will try something a little different with your stamps.

Leave a comment if you will,

and come again soon!

 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

 

 

Eureka! Stamps Challenge February 11th

Hello blog friends!

It's time for another

Eureka! Stamps Challenge.

For particulars check out the

Eureka! Stamps Blog.

Today our theme is

"Swirls and Pearls"

For my card I chose to use

"Lg Filagree Heart" (#24601) from

Eureka! Stamps

I love this image and used it for a last weeks challenge of

"Sweethearts"

This week I stamped the image with VersaMark ink onto

gold vellum. 

Then I heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

I added some stick on pearls from my stash of bling, layered it onto

a white card stock base and I have a beautiful, elegant card.

I hope you will join the challenge this week.

Eureka! Stamps Challenge

It's Monday and that means it's time for another

Eureka! Stamps Challenge.

For the particulars, pop over to the

Eureka! Stamps Blog

Today's theme is

"Sweethearts"

This is perfect for me, because my nephew just got engaged.

Pat and Vicki have been together for about 9 yrs and we already consider her part of the family.  I always refer to her as my niece.

We are just so happy for them.

I made this card for them using

"Lg. Filagree Heart" (#24601) from

Eureka! Stamps.

I stamped with VersaMark ink onto some shimmery white paper and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.

I added a bit of ribbon that I got at Michael's the other day.

Below you can see how beautifully the embossing turned out.

Here is a second card that I made with the same stamp and ribbon.

I embossed this one onto white card stock, layered it onto gold vellum and then onto a white card base.

Thanks for stopping by today.

I hope you have been inspired and will join the

Eureka! Stamps challenge.

 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Eureka! Stamps challenge

 Hello!

Today starts new challenge on the 

Eureka! Stamps Blog 

This week the theme is 

"Anything Goes"

I decided to make a Valentine with 

Lg. Filagree Heart (#24601)

from Eureka! Stamps.

I made the background with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink

(watch for a tutorial in early February on this technique)

I stamped the heart with VersaMark ink 

and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.

I then inked over it with the same Distress ink as the background.

The embossing resists the ink and shows up beautifully.

You can see the embossing clearly in the picture below.

I love the shiny-ness of it!

I fussy cut the heart, adhered it to white card stock and then fussy cut it again.

I used foam tape to give it a bit of dimension on the card.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you have been inspired in some way.
