A few weeks ago, I designed several different cards using the same stamp.  The idea came from a card stamping magazine, which I can't recall the name right now; it features a section showing different ways to use one stamp.  The stamp is called "Cozy Lady/Woman in Coat" and is manufactured by Hampton Art.  As you can see, there are a wide variety of supplies used for these cards.  If one isn't listed, that you want to know about, please let me know.  Thank you for stopping by today.

Friday Sketchers 91 Good Friends Listen...



















  If you would like to use this sketch, please go here.  This card uses some new dp paper from K&Co, TC Blossomwood, which is gorgeous!  I also purchased some floral embellishments that match to add to the main image.  The main image was sponged with distress inks to soften the whiteness of the cardstock.  The lattice was cut from Vanilla Cream cs and it was also sponged.  The measurements are 4 1/2 x 4 1/2. 

Supplies:
Stamps:  Sweet N Sassy (digi)
Ink:  Tsukienko (Tuxedo Black); Ranger (Scattered Straw, Tea Dye)
Paper:  Papertrey Ink (Select White, Vanilla Cream, Dark Chocolate); K&Co (TC Blossomwood)
Accents:  Spellbinders (lattice, oval dies); K&Co (TC Blossomwood flower)

SC269 Absolutely Fabulous


Had time to play the weekly Splitcoaststampers sketch challenge, SC269. The Bella image has been sitting, uninked, for too long, so decided to make a card that will enclose a letter to a friend in Texas. Can't waste excuses for making cards, right? The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black on Select White paper and colored with Copic markers. The halo is glittered as well as the wings with Martha Stewart products. I really like the Martha Stewart glue pen; it works as well as the Quickie Glue one. The image was also sponged around the edges to take soothe the whiteness of the paper. The Bo Bunny paper was purchased in Gettysburg, PA, at the Scrapbook Forever store; that is one nice paper store! Thank you for taking time to look at the card; hope you receive some inspiration from it. Gigi

Accents: Michael's (ribbon, rhinestones); Spellbinders (die cuts); Copic markers; Martha Stewart (chunky and fine glitter); Sweet N Sassy digi stamps (A True Friend)

CPS155 Thanks for Perking Me Up!


Finished the CPS155 challenge this morning with some dp that has been sitting in the stash bin for at least two years! It probably happens to you, too; you buy dp that you plan to use, but don't because it's being hoarded...doesn't make sense, does it? The dp is Creative Imaginations, Debbie Mumm (Coffee). The stickers matching the dp are so cute; in fact, I bought two sets of them and haven't used hardly any of them...why? Suppose I need them for a rainy day? :-) Each of us has a quirky thought or two when it comes to paper craft supplies and mine just happens to be hoarding dp for more than one year :-)
Supplies:
Stamps: Our Craft Lounge (Fueled by Caffeine)
Ink: Tsukineko (Tuxedo Black), Ranger Distress (Tea Dye, Scattered Straw)
Paper: Papertrey Ink (Vanilla Cream, Dark Chocolate), Creative Imginations, Debbie Mumm
Accents: Creative Imginations stickers, Debbie Mumm (Coffee), Spellbinders (die cuts), Papertrey Ink (Enchanted Evening ribbon)
