The House that Stamps Built - Sewing or stitching

 This week over at The House that Stamps Built our challenge is to use an image you would see in sewing, or we could do anything "stitched" real , drawn in, or die cut.  

I had the designer paper with spools in my stash and this was a great opportunity to use it.  I made a tag for my focal image using 3318-B Spool of Thread  and paired it with 9314-E Sew Special.  I stamped the spool of thread on the designer paper spools and fussy cut them out and pasted them on my stamped spools. I did some real machine stitching on the left side of my card - two rows.  Used some ribbon thru my tag and card done.  I think a purse sewing kit and this card would be a nice little giftie for one of my chemo buddies.  

Now it is your turn to make a card or project using the challenge of Sewing 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 Sewing

Anything Goes - The House that Stamps Built

 This week over at The House that Stamps Built our challenge is Anything Goes as it is the last Wednesday of the month. 

I was doing some "purging" of ribbon and STUFF and came across this wide ribbon and thought perfect for the card I had in mind.  

I used 10301-H Patti's flower solid  and stamped them to match the colors used in the ribbon. I thought they were pretty good matches.  I fussy cut the flowers out- (I find fussy cutting relaxing).  I laid out my design glued the flowers in place and colored the center of the flowers in black glitter gel pen.  I left enough room at the bottom for my sentiment 1113-D Happy Birthday .  I thought it  still needed a little something else so I used 3416-C Random Swirls in the colors I used on my flowers.  I used tear tape on my ribbon so it would stay flat on the card.  I also have some cupcake wide ribbon which I think I will use on another card.  

Now it is your turn to make a card or project using the challenge of ATG 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 ATG

March 2, 2016 Color Challenge

GOOD MORNING

Here it is March already - and that means we will start to see the first beginnings of spring.  March is full of fun challenges, St. Patricks Day, Easter, and weekly challenges. This weekly challenge at 

THE HOUSE THAT STAMPS BUILT  is a color challenge using these colors.

What a pretty color combination to use together and I love just about any color on Kraft - it is so versatile.  For my card this week I used Rose Window 917-I from the Flowers collection.  I used a technique I saw on line - distress ink lifting (which I will do a short tutorial on this technique later.)

I get a lot of requests as a special requests chemo angel to send one time cards to cheer people up who are facing some difficult challenges.  They give us a bit of a bio including their favorite flower, and a lot of people love roses.  Therefore I choose this beautiful rose window and the die cut sentiment to make my card.
Come join us at The House that Stamps Built challenge this week ( you don't have to use Repeat Stamps but if you do your name will be entered twice)  enter your creation and have a chance to win a nice gift certificate for some amazing stamps.
Now why not see what my team maties have created this week:

Thinking of You 

So Happy to See you Stopped By for the Sketch Challenge at 

The House that Stamps Built

I chose to use this darling bear stamp 701K - Belle and sentiment 1105E.   Is she not just the cutest? 

My sweet great granddaughter has been sick so this card is already in the mail to her.  I colored the bear with my copics then paper pieced her dress and hat (white velvet paper) and her lush jacket with (red velvet paper).  I had a pad of burlap CS in my stash as well as the buttons, and bling.
