New Sketch Challenge!

Hello again!  I hope you are all having a great week!  Here in New Hampshire we are having some rainy and dreary weather, but with high hopes for some 70 degree weather for the weekend!!!  Woohoo!!!  

There is a new sketch challenge posted today at The House That Stamps Built!  Hop on over there to see it!  If you link up your card or layout you could possibly be the one to win a prize from Repeat Impressions!  Awesome!

So here is my take on the sketch:

I have used some paper from K&Company and paired it with 8719-G Flip Flops stamp from Repeat Impressions.  A wonderful summery card right!?

DCC - For a Special Lady

Hello again!  This week brings April vacation for my kids and I am hopping to get lots of catch-up stuff done.  I am currently painting my daughter's room PURPLE!  It's a really dark purple so I think it will be pretty!

Today at The House That Stamps Built Makiko has challenged us to make a card for a woman you love!  I wasn't sure how to approach this one, so I thought flowers!  What lady doesn't like flowers?!  I have used Repeat Impressions stamp 1709-I Stencil Bouquet.  I paired this with kraft paper and some dp from K & Company.

Make sure you play along with us this week at The House That Stamps Built!

Check this out!

Today at The House That Stamps Built there is a new sketch to play around with!  I was unable to make a card this time around, but I want to show you what my 6 year-old daughter has done with the sketch:

She has used Repeat Impressions stamp 3309-K Scarecrow and Friend.  The paper is from my scrap box which she loves to play in!  After she colored in the scarecrow she sponged a blue background.  

Awesome!  Another crafter in the making!

Pinwheel Positive

Today at Repeat Impressions there is another stamp of the week that you can pick up for 50% off!  Make sure you head on over to The House That Stamps Built for all the details 'cause this only lasts for a week!!!

This week they are featuring 6009-M Pinwheel Positive.  For my card I have kept it clean and simple.  That seems to be the kick that I am on lately.  :)  I stamped the image in black on the card front and added the sentiment in black as well.  Then I stamped the pinwheel on another piece of paper in blue and red.  The blue and red pieces are cut out and adhered with pop dots.

I hope you all have a good week!

Designer's Choice Challenge at Repeat Impressions

There's another Designer's Choice Challenge at The House That Stamps Built!  Cheri has challenged us to make a card with a bird as the central image.

I decided to make a brayered background, with green at the bottom and blue for the sky.  I stamped Repeat Impressions' stamps 2617-D Tiny Bird, 4317-E Birdhouse, and 5105-I Cloud Silhouette on another piece of white paper.  I cut them out and placed them on the brayered card front to make a scene.

Have a great week!

It's Another What if? Wednesday!

I have used Repeat Impressions stamp 8402-M My Sunshine.  I colored the bloom with copics and cut it out from the rest of the stamp.  I also cut off the sentiment at the bottom and put it in a strip on top of the card.

I would like to add this card to the following challenges:

Party Time Tuesdays - Flowers

Paper Pretties - April Showers Bring May Flowers

Sketch Challenge at Repeat Impressions!

It's another What If? Wednesday today!  Head on over to The House That Stamps Built to see the sketch and play along!

I have used Repeat Impressions stamp 8719-G Flip Flops on my card.  I figured with the 80's plus weather we are having in the Northeast I should be thinking summer!  I colored the flip flops with copics and then made the rest of the card with paper from K&Company.  

Hope everyone near me is enjoying the weather!  I know I will!

Sympathy Card

Today at The House That Stamps Built we have another designer's choice challenge this time brought to you by Lynette.  Lynette has challenged us to make a sympathy card.  This is especially appropriate right now as it has been a hard winter with a few deaths of family members and friends.  

My card features Repeat Impressions sentiment 6103-J Thinking Vertical.  I decided to make a shaped card using a nestabilities die cut.  I embossed and cut out the top panel with the same die cut.  The inspiration for this card came from a card that a teammate from another stamping blog of mine made.  You can find it here, thanks Julie!

Have a great rest of the week!

Repeat Impressions DCC - Karen

Hello!  I'm starting to get spring fever here!  Unfortunately tonight and tomorrow's weather is calling for snow!  Icky.

Spring with pastel colors is what Karen has challenged us with today at The House That Stamps Built.  I have used all Repeat Impressions stamps of course! ;)  The image is 2610-J Jump for Joy, and the sentiment I used is 3104-F Happy Everything.

The purple paper is from Stampin' Up and the patterned paper is from a new pack I picked up at the local craft store.  The pack is K&Company's Wild Raspberry.  The ribbon is from my stash.

I would like to add this to the following challenges:

Forever Friends - Ribbons and Lace

Kaboodle Doodle - shades of purple

PanPastel Challenge - use a ribbon

Have a great rest of the week!

My daughter helps...

I have to say my children are amazing inspirations for my cards!  This card for example:  I was feeling particularly achy and foggy with a serious head cold (did I mention I just got over pneumonia as well?  doesn't seem fair does it?) but I knew I had to get this card finished on time.  I showed my 6 year old daughter the sketch and gave her the patterned paper box and told her to pick out two papers that go well together.  Then she decided that the strip across the middle should be a ribbon and she promptly hoofed it to the other room to pick out one that matches the paper she chose.  I picked the flower (Repeat Impressions stamp 1309-J Easter Lily) to stamp and she rummaged around and dug out this little birdie (2617-D Tiny Bird).  She begged me to put it somewhere on the stamped part and PLEASE! PLEASE! color it blue.

Here's how it came out:

HUH.

Maybe she should plan all my cards....

PS.  Head on over to The House That Stamps Built to check out the sketch...and maybe have your children help you with a card too!
