Sketch Challenge

 This is the final week of 2020 over at The House that Stamps Built our challenge is a sketch - 

 

I was stumped for a little while until I started looking through some papers that I had forgotten I had.  Saw the fish paper and the idea popped in my head.  


I used 2909-H Rainbow Trout and   6704-F Fishing Fly  for my focal images on this card.  My hubby loves to trout fish and he ties his own flies, and somehow he knows what color they are biting on when he goes.  Black and yellow seem to be the favorite.  4034-F Make A Wish.  I really am still not sure if I am going to use this for a birthday card so I left Happy Birthday open.  I colored and fussy cut 3 of the rainbow trout together then used dimensional glaze to make it a bit more realistic.  Popped it up on dimensional as well as the fishing fly.  I am always needing masculine cards so this went in my man cards slot.  

   Now it is your turn to make a card or project using the challenge of the sketch. So many possibilities on this challenge.  You have a full month to enter our challenge.  You do not have to use Repeat Impressions stamps but if you do  you will have two chances to win a $25 gift certificate towards stamps.

Anything Goes

 Today over at The House that Stamps Built is Anything Goes and I thought this was a good one to post today - lets welcome 2021.  


I have the complete sheet Plate 10600 and use this set when I want a fun "snarky" card - I thought it was perfect for our Anything Goes challenge today.  I stamped and fussy cut 4 of the TP rolls and spaced them on a slim design card.  Then used the sentiment Time to Celebrate again fitting for the new year.  

Hope you have enjoyed looking at my New Years card - and I have already picked someone to get this card.

Photo Inspiration Challenge at The House that Stamps Built

This week over at The House that Stamps Built is our monthly photo inspiration challenge.  Below is the photo:


and here is my card:

We have a pretty  poinsettia stamp  2015-D Tiny poinsettia  and I used a cute cardinal Christmas stamp 2105-I Merry...Happy  for my sentiment.  I also stamped a small poinsettia on the envelope.  I really like to put something on the outside of my envelope.  
Poinsettias colored with copic and fussy cut with the tiny poinsettia popped up on the larger poinsettia.  Layered with a curvy fancy die just to add some interest.

The House that Stamps Built - Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge

 This week over at The House that Stamps Built our challenge is TTT.



I chose to do a "gift" box filled with gift tags.  Gift, candy and gems center row down.  

I saw the gift box of tags on Pinterest so using my envelope punch board and a 6 x 6 piece of Christmas paper I made the box, decorated with a pretty red punched bow, and a snowflake.

Now comes the fun of filling the box up with gift tags using the following:  9721-F Peppermint Candy    2012-H Pointsettia and 2015-D Tiny Pontsettia     8805-K Snowflakes  and 4512-F Large Stamp and 4513-C Small Rubber Stamp


The next four tags I stamped used:  4615-K Snowman Light   905-L Angel  2112-D Sleigh Ride Silhouette and 2708-M Pine Branch


Each tag also has 2222-C To: From:     I colored most of the tags with copic markers, glitter pens, and some just colored inks.  Added ribbon to each tag for a total of 8 tags.  This is going to my chemo buddy this week so she will have some tags to put on her Christmas gifts.  

Now it is your turn to make a card or project using the challenge of Tic-Tac-Toe So many possibilities on this challenge.  You have a full month to enter our challenge.  You do not have to use Repeat Impressions stamps but you  do you will have two chances to win a $25 gift certificate towards stamps

December 2, 2020 Designer Choice - Pets

 Can't believe that is is December - and this month always flies by so quickly - especially with the holidays - but our designer Joy over at The House that Stamps Built choose PETS to be our challenge theme.  



I choose 6216-N Nip Bliss as he really reminded me so much of our first cat Thomas Cat.  He was born into a family of 6 on a farm - but we decided to make him an uptown cat - and brought him home in my coat pocket.  This guy brought us so many laughs, warm laps, companionship, comfort, and joy.  He moved from the city with us to our lake house, then we moved to a smaller house in the woods, and he was with us for 18+ years.  In addition to Thomas we acquired Nikki, and Callie and they all three thrived until their later years.  Nikki passed 6 years ago and we still have Callie - our diabetic girl - and she is 17.  

Anyway some simple copic coloring - fussy cut and mounted on a velveteen mat fit for a king.  I decided to cut his name out of red velveteen and used no sentiment.  This guy will always hold a special place as our first.  My hubby says no more cats when Callie passes but...we have had a cat all our married life. Our household would just not be complete without another cat to warm our laps.   

   Now it is your turn to make a card or project using the challenge of use a PET. So many possibilities on this challenge.  You have a full month to enter our challenge.  You do not have to use Repeat Impressions stamps you will have two chances to win a $25 gift certificate towards stamps.
