Baby Animals

Hi everyone and welcome.

Today starts a new challenge on the Eureka! Stamps Blog!

This week our theme for the challenge is "Animals"

 I chose to use

"Baby Animals" (#40204) from Eureka! Stamps

This image comes in red rubber or digital format, as do all the images at Eureka! Stamps.  I prefer using the red rubber stamps, they are wonderful to work with, but there is always the option of digital.

I colored the image with FlexMarkers and inked the edges with Distress inks.

The Core'dinations card stock I used as a mat was embossed with an embossing folder run through the Cuttlebug and sanded with a sanding block.

I also inked the base card with Distress ink.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you enjoy my card, maybe draw a bit of inspiration from it and join in our challenge.

Be sure to stop by the Eureka! Stamps shop and see all the wonderful images they have to offer.

 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Pumpkin love

Today is the kick off for the latest QKR Stampede Challenge!

The theme is "Fall Fun"

Be sure to pop over to the QKR Stampede Blog for all the particulars!

Someone's going to win those digital stamps, why not YOU?!?!

I chose to use

"Autumn Friends" (#9206) from QKR Stampede

for my challenge card.

I love these little cuties and colored them with FlexMarkers.

I used an embossing folder and put it through the Cuttlebug for the background.  I then used a sanding block to sand it and bring out the inside color of the Core'dinations card stock.

Here is another picture to show how foam tape gives the image dimension when used to adhere it to the card.

I hope you will be inspired to join the QKR Stampede Challenge,

do some embossing, color an image, make a card or project.

Leave a comment if you will and be sure to check out the fun images that QKR Stampede has to offer in red rubber and digital stamps.

Come again soon!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

 

Season of Change

Hello and welcome!

Today I have a card that I made with

"Season of Change" (#35402) from Eureka! Stamps

"Maple Corner" (#34101) from Biblical Impressions

For the leaves I used glossy card stock and alcohol inks.

I used a felt piece on a blending tool and combined a few different colors of ink and copper mixative.  Then applied them to the glossy card stock.

I then stamped the "Maple Corner" image with VersaMark ink and fussy cut the leaves. The leaves actually are a corner image, but I cut it apart to use it in a little different way.

The background was made with Distress inks applied with a foam blending tool.

 

You can just see a little bit of the shine that they copper mixative gives the ink that I used on the leaves.  Sorry I couldn't get a better picture of it.  It really does shine when you see it 'in real life'

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Teapot

Welcome!  How about a spot of tea?

Today's card is made with

"Lg Teapot" (#11702) from Eureka! Stamps

I thought this card would be adorable to send to a friend inviting them to come for a visit or go out for lunch.

Or maybe a thank you for someone's hospitality.

The image was colored with FlexMarkers.

I embossed a scrap of Core'dinations card stock with an embossing folder run through the Cuttlebug and sanded it with a sanding block so the cute little hearts would show a little better and used it for the background.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Why not stop in over at Eureka! Stamps and see what they have to offer.

Eureka has many wonderful images in both red rubber and digital stamps.

They have a wide variety and there is something for everyone.

Folded star card

Hi crafty people!

Today I have something a little different for you.

I saw this folded star card on

Sue's Rubber Stamping Adventures 

and just had to try it.

I must say, I love how it turned out.

 

On the inside I stamped and colored this adorable snowman from Stampendous.  I was lucky enough to win him from Kristine at

Stamping and Scrapping in California

I colored the image with FlexMarkers and covered the snowman in Stickles.

Can't have a snowman that doesn't sparkle now can we?

I hope you like my card and will take a look at the blogs of the 2 ladies that inspired me to make this card.  They really are quite amazing.

If you try this folded star card, let me know how it turned out.

I'd love to see how you make yours.

Thanks for stopping by, leave a comment if you will.

Come again soon.

 

Until next time, Happy Crafting.

Make new friends

"Make new friends, but keep the old.  One is silver and the other's gold"

Do you remember that song? 

I remember singing it in rounds when I was a girl scout. 

That's what this image,

"Lg Best Friends Sitting (#5906) from Eureka! Stamps,

reminds me of.

The kids in my area just went back to school about a week ago

and this makes me think of when I was young

and when my kids were young.

Each year we'd wonder about our old friends,

what they did over the summer,

if they were going to be in our classes etc.

As well as if we'd be meeting new friends,

who they would be,

were they new kids to the school

or just to the class?

Some wonderful memories!

So enough reminiscing, about the card.....

I used Distrress inks to make the background of sky and grass.

Then I stamped the image onto that background and also onto a piece of white card stock.

I used a bronze Creative Memories pen to color the bench

and colored the 'friends' with FlexMarkers, then fussy cut them.

I adhered the 'friends' right over the stamped image on the background.

I used a Martha Stewart all around the page punch set for the border.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
