Hello Everyone!

I am here today with Spellbinders/Fun Stampers Journey featuring their Stamp of the Month!

When I saw this stamp set I immediately knew I was going to do some no line coloring with my colored pencils!  I chose to play with my Blick Studio set!

All the coloring is shown in the video below with many tips and tricks...  OK with many ways I use my colored pencils...  LOL

Hello Everyone!

Let's get ready for Fall, it is right around the corner!  For today's project I created some Fall Themed Note Cards featuring Rubber Stamp Tapestry's Peg Stamps!  I used two sets and some of their individual peg stamps...

I love the colors of the fall so I grabbed my distress inks and craft mat and started ink smooshing!  I created three small panels and then I used one of my steel rule dies by Sizzix called Tattered Leaves by Tim Holtz... I also cut out these images using some solid colored card stock.

Once they were die cut I started using my peg stamps to create my pattern paper on my images! ...and you know the Vintage Photo made an appearance!

Layered my leaves together onto a 4 inch x 4 inch design base in ivory, and then matted each onto the brown piece of card stock measuring 4 1/8 inch x 4 1/8 inch.  Once all my layers were together they were set onto a 4 1/4 inch x 4 1/4 inch card base!

Hello Everyone!

For my design team project with Birch Press Design I chose to use a no line coloring technique to color these beautiful images from the Grateful Leaf Frame Stamp Set!

I stamped my images using a light colored ink and then started coloring my leaves using shades of greens and browns. Chose the perfect sentiments for my focal point and set my panel onto a 5 1/2 inch x 6 inch side folding card base.

Hello Everyone!

We are all (ok, you all) getting ready for our card making production lines fort he upcoming Holiday Season!  I wait until the last minute! ....always!

So while I was deciding my design team project for Rubber Stamp Tapestry I just saw something in this peg stamp set that would become more! 

So I quickly pulled the Poinsettia Twist Peg Stamp Set and saw it become a more Spring/ Summer Card.  All it took was to change the ink colors for the flowers!  How simple is that!!!!
