Holey Challenge ...

Stamp TV has a great challenge this week ... your paper has to have a hole in it. I used my oval dies to create my holes.  

Stamps:  Farm Life, Heartfelt (GKD)

Paper:  Baja Breeze, Island Indigo, White (SU)

Inks:  Memento Black

Accessories:  Copics; Baker's twine, pop dots (SU); oval dies (Spellbinders); honeycomb embossing folder (Darice); button (Michaels)

I dry embossed my piece of Island Indigo with the honeycomb embossing folder.  Next I used a Copic marker to shade just the left side of each honeycomb.  I saw this technique over at Darlene Designs and thought it gave it so much depth.  

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day!

Masculine anniversary card

My anniversary is coming up next week and I needed a card for my wonderful husband.  I checked out the new MOJO sketch and thought it would be good for a masculine card.  

The sketch ...

My anniversary card ...

Stamps:  Farm Life (GKD)

Paper:  River Rock, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso (SU)

DP:  Well Worn (SU)

Ink:  Memento Black, Tea Dye (Ranger)

Accessories:  Copics, brads, pop dots

I know it is not a very romantic card but it is perfect for my hubby.  The inside is stamped with the sentiment that comes with this set and reads ... "The most beautiful view is the one I share with you."

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day,

All things pink ...

Today's card is for a challenge over at StampTV. You are to use pink, stamp or color, something that is not normally pink.  This was a definitely a challenge but it was a lot of fun.  

Stamps:  Farm Life, Dogwood and Butterfly (GKD), Up, Up, and Away

Paper:  White, Regal Rose

DSP:  Regal Rose

Ink:  Memento Black, Regal Rose, Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise

Accessories:  Circle punch (Marvy), Nestabilities circle & scallop die, corner punch, SU markers, rhinestones, brad, pop dots, sponge dauber, ribbon (HL)

All products are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

I used my SU markers to color the entire image.  Since it was on glossy paper, the markers worked very well.

Thanks for stopping by and as always...

Have a great day,

Featuring Holstein ... FS258

I'm really late posting this card.  I actually started it on time but did not finish it until yesterday.  Can you say SLOW?  


This card is for the Splitcoast Featured Stamper (FS258) Linda aka Holstein at SCS that was picked last week.  Linda has an awesome gallery full of fabulous cards of all kinds.  The reason I picked this card is that I had just purchased this stamp set and had not used it yet.  Plus I really liked Linda's card.  I just loved the blue roof on the barn.  Here is my take on Linda's card ...

Stamps:  Farm Life (Gina K.), Make It Count

Paper:  Real Red, White

Ink:  Memento Black, Real Red, Tim Holtz tea stain distressing ink

Accessories:  Nestabilities labels ten, Copics, oval and circle punch, sponge, pop dots, stripes embossing folder, twine.

All products are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

I used the same stamp, layout and cardstock.  I changed where the twine is on the card, different layers and embossing folder and sentiment.

My disappointment in this card is that I messed up the barn door so I restamped it and colored it again.  I messed up the second one as I colored the roof brown.  I could have still used it but what drew me to Linda's card was the blue roof.  So after all that, I ended up using the original image with the messed up barn doors.  This is a well used barn and those doors have been worked hard.  Sound legit ... lol

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great weekend!
