Black, white, and one other color challenge The House that Stamps Built

This week over at The House that Stamps Built our challenge is to use black, white, and one other color.  I had something else in mind when I started but my card evolved to this:


I decided to use blue with my black/white card.  I stamped the 9116-N Hot Air Balloons all stamped in the same shade of blue, I then added some blue clouds using a cloud stencil and for my sentiment I used 6512-E Everyday Blessings so I could use this card for about any reason.  After stamping Everyday Blessings on a piece of striped black/white card stock I die cut the image out - then pop dotted the saying up.  A few blue bling on top of the balloon and card complete.  

Now it is your turn to make a card or project using the challenge of Black/white and one other color. 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. using the challenge of  Black/white and one other color.

Fall/Christmas class

 Welcome, friends!

My friend Patti  and I had a workshop on Monday, October 25th. Here are the cards that we made:

What a fun card I had!  I love this fold, and will use it often.

This one is hard to see. Just got a new light box for taking pics, and can't get it to photo nicely, as the strip in the middle is gold metallic.
Here's another beauty from me- love, love love this!!!
When Patti
When Patti saw this fun fireplace die set at My Favorite Things last month, I had to have it! Added some 'wallpaper', 'baseboard', a wreath & bow, 'gray floor', and some trees, to finish off this cute card.
Here's another card that uses some metallic papers. Wish you could see it in real life - SO gorgeous!
This is a Pinwheel Tower card. It was fun designing all four sets of 'pages'.

Use a Border - The House that Stamps Built

 November is really flying by quickly.  This week over at The House that Stamps Built  our challenge theme is to use a border or border stamp.  Here is my card:




I needed a sympathy card - and just didn't have any in my stash that I liked so I made a new card using 1505-N Rose Border, 4025-F With Deepest Sympathy , and for the inside I used 4013-H Those we Held verse.  The flower I choose to use was 631-G Single Rose .  I went with red/gold for my layers - the gold embossed so beautifully on the red layer - for the sentiment I used With Deepest Sympathy on a white diecut panel again embossed in gold.  On the inside along with my sentiment again everything embossed in gold I used the single rose in the corner as well as on the lower left hand side of my envelope.  I like the simplicity of this card and the beauty the gold embossing brings out.  

Now it is your turn to make a card or project using the challenge of use a border  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. using the challenge of  Use a  Border.

Use your Fall scraps - The House that Stamps Built

 This week over at The House that Stamps Built our challenge is to use up our fall scraps of paper.  I tend to save all of my scraps - even the small scraps so I laid them out and decided to go with a sunburst card.  


I am really pleased how the colors and patterns went together for this card.  I had not made a starburst card in a really long time so it was a fun challenge.  I decided to use 1140-E Happy Thanksgiving and then to make 514-I Prized Pumpkin as my focal image.  I colored it with my copic markers and another Thanksgiving card ready to go in the mail.  Now I need only 8 more!!!

Now it is your turn to make a card or project using the challenge of Use your Scraps 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. using the challenge of  Use your Scraps

Thankful for Fall - The House that Stamps Built

 This week - is already the first week of November - where oh where has the time gone?  Over at The House that Stamps Built our challenge is thankful for fall.  Well since I needed a few Thanksgiving cards I decided to go with Thanksgiving theme.  


I had a "lot" of kraft cardstock cut - (for another project - but cut incorrectly)  so I decided to use Kraft for a couple of cards for fall.  My inspiration challenge uses stamps 3312-E Maple Leaf 3313-E Oak Leaf 3306-I Falling Leaves and for my sentiment I used 1140-E Happy Thanksgiving.  I found my box of K-pad ink pads so I opened the autumn one and it was still nice and juicy.  I fussy cut my oak leaf and maple leaf  to use as accents.  One card made and "several" to go.  

Now it is your turn to make a card or project using the challenge of Thankful for Fall..
