Stamp Something Challenge

Good morning! This weeks Stamp Something Challenge is more of a don't stamp something challenge . That's right, this week you are challenged to make a project without using any stamps! For my card I used rub-ons, a cuttlebug folder, some ribbon, hodgepodge hardware a little ink on a sponge and some paper piercing but absolutely no stamps! I went over the dry embossed dots with a sponge using the coordinating ink to make it pop a little more.

Stamp Something Challenge

Good morning!! Happy New Year!! The theme for this weeks Stamp Something Challenge is New Somethings. Create a project using something new, like maybe something you received for Christmas or a new color combo or technique..whatever! Well this was an easy one for me, since I got a bunch of new goodies for Christmas . Oh, and yesterday I went to Hobby Lobby and they have a bunch of stuff half off, like all rubber stamps! I got a bunch of new stamps, and then I went to Michael's to see if they would price match and they did so I got more there . Ahh, nothing beats new stamps...especially when they're half price! Anyway, here is my card. This stamp is one I got for Christmas. I'm so happy I finally have a stamp that is good for masculine cards! Love this lighthouse! The Impression Obsession stamps are so fun to color! The layout is this weeks Sketch Challenge on SCS.

New stamps!!

Are these not just the cutest stamps ever?! Ahh, I love new stamps! These are early Christmas presents from my parents. They ordered me some stamps from Impression Obsession, and my mom told me I could have the Christmas ones early . Oh, and they got me 20 Copic ciaos for my birthday, which is today, but I got some of them last week, lol. I'm still trying to decide what I want from hubby. I really want the big shot, but I can't help but think of all the stamps I could be buying with that money. I kinda want some storage stuff too, but that seems so boring. I'm too indecisive!

More Christmas cards =)

Good morning! I hope you all had a great weekend! I saw this color combo somewhere recently, but I can't remember where. The card I saw used Baja Breeze though, but I don't have that color yet, so I used Soft Sky. This first card looked a lot better before I put those huge brads on. Problem was though, I poked all the holes with my paper piercer, and then decided the holes I poked were too close to the edge so I poked new ones next to them. Then I decided that smaller brads would look much better, but by that point it was too late, because the small brads wouldn't cover up both holes. Duh! Oh, well. I'm still pretty happy with it though. The brads were silver, but I just embossed them to make them white. I don't think I'll ever get tired of this stamp set! I love coloring it! I wanted to use my Copics, but I didn't have the right colors, so I used an SU marker for the Burgundy and an Aqua Painter with my Soft Sky ink pad.
-Stamps-Crazy for Christmas, Polka Dots & Paisley, PTI Take a Bough
-Paper-Bravo Burgundy, Soft Sky, Chocolate Chip, Kraft and Whisper White
-Ink-Palette Black, Chocolate Chip, Soft Sky and Bravo Burgundy
-Accessories-Sewing machine, white thread, brads, Aqua painter and, Bravo Burgundy marker and 1 1/4" & 1 3/8" Circle punches

Loved the color combo so much I decided to make another . I just inked up the image with Soft Sky, and then went right over it with markers.
