Repeat Impressions - Scarecrow and Friends


Hello!  Today we have our Stamp of the Week for Repeat Impressions!  The stamp of the week is available in the store at 50% off for this week only!  Make sure you head over the The House That Stamps Built for all of the info!  This week's featured stamp is called Scarecrow & Friend.


For my card I have used some autumn colored inks and used a direct to paper technique on some glossy white paper.  I then stamped the image over it with black ink.  I made a simple card design using direct to paper technique again on kraft paper and accenting it with a dark brown paper I had in my scrap box.

Have a great day and don't forget to head on over to The House That Stamps Built for all the details on the stamp of the week!


Totally Stampalicious Monday - Embossing

Hello!  Are you feeling Totally Stampalicious today?!  I sure am!  I had a busy weekend at the fair!  Got some ribbons for some entries and ate some great food and now it's off for a busy week!  


This week at Totally Stampalicious we want to see some embossing!  Wet or dry, we need to see some!  I have paired my embossing with some Stella of course!  Just can't get enough of her!  This stamp is called Let It Snow Stella, and you can find it in the store here.


I am loving this sheer ribbon!  Totally easy to manipulate and get to lay the way you want it to, while having a bonus of looking great in pictures!

I'd like to add this to the following challenges:

Let's Ink It Up! - think pink
The Ribbon Girls - Christmas

Make sure you check out the other DT cards at Totally Stampalicious!  They are awesome!

Stay tuned later for my first Repeat Impressions post!  Have a great week!

Dream Valley Challenges - Monochrome


Good morning everyone and happy Sunday to you all!  Today at Dream Valley Challenges we are looking for your monochromatic projects!  We have the lovely One Stop Card Crafts as our sponsor today.  The lucky winner will win this:



For my project I have made a brayered scene using my Stampscapes stamps.  I brayered a light blue at the top and bottom and then a dark blue to go over, but not quite cover, the light.  Oh yes!  I punched out a circle first and masked that spot on the paper! duh.  After the brayering I stamped the boater and Crooked Branch overlapping the moon a bit.  I also decided to stamp the Dream sentiment from one of the sentiment packages from Stampscapes.

So here it is:



I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

One Stop Craft Challenge:  for a man
Sew Many Cards:  anything goes

I hope you join us this fortnight over at Dream Valley!
