Friday, Hanna Stamps Weekly Challenge card

Yep, it is finally Friday and I not only look forward to this being the end of my work week but it is Hanna Stamps Weekly Challenge Day and I always look forward to that!

Sandra is our hostess this week and her challenge was to pick an obscure October Holiday and create a card for that holiday. I chose Adopt a Dog! I have always had a soft spot for dogs (well animals in general )and my first dog was a beagle named Taffy. The bassett in the Detective Hanna set is pretty close and so cute I used him. What do you think?

I colored the Detective Hanna dog with copic markers and cut it out leaving a small white border so that he didn't blend in too much into the green die cut label.

I used my new Quikutz label die that cuts a main label and a narrow border so I just layer both colors that I want to use in one cut. I used two different sizes of labels and really like the dimension it gives the card.

The sentiment is a doggie sentiment stamp set from Michaels and has a lot of cute dog related sentiments and bones, paw prints, and sentiments and I thought it worked well with this image and this challenge.

I added 3 of my new favorite embellishment, punched and molded flowers and 3 dew drops in the upper and lower corners.

You should go and play along, we would love to have you.

Tomorrow I will have a Artful Sentiments by Kimm BT Copic Challenge so be sure to stop by and see what I have created with the designated colors.

Well, I have some coloring to do, it's a tough job but someone has to do it :) LOL

Happy Coloring!

Hanna Stamps Release Party new stamp reveal!

Tonight was my first Hanna Stamps Release Party as a DT member. I did much better keeping up with the forum pace, not great but better :) Here is a picture that I posted tonight but by the time the attachment loader finished the forum was two pages past my post , What can I say you can't fight technology!

This scrapbook cover showcases 4 of the stamps in the Detective Hanna set available for sale right now. Hanna Detective, the Bassett sleuth dog, the finger priint, and the question mark are all included in this wonderfully fun set.

The images were colored with copic markers and so much fun to color. I added metal corners for the scrapbook and the tag was a sticker form a Detective sticker and matching dp paper I got at my LSS by Creative Imaginations. The caution police tapes are from the sticker set too but you could do the same thing with yellow strips of cs and stamp the caution statements you want on it.

I just thought it would be cute for a kids scrapbook about things they "discover" in their search for "ME"

Just thought that you might want to see the final preview card that I created for the Hanna Stamps release. Keep checking back because there are a ton of stamps in these sets that I haven't shown you yet.

Check back tomorrow for the first ever Challenge by the Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge Blog Design Team. We would love to have you play along.

Later,.

Hanna Stamps Weekly Challenge and First Sneak Peek!

Yep, today is Friday and that means it's time for the Weekly Hanna Stamps Challenge. Silke is the hostess this week and she chose a sketch challenge for this week. Have I mentioned that I really like sketch challenges? LOL. Here is my card:

I also used this opportunity for my first sneak peek of the Hanna Stamps new release stamps that will be available after the Release Party on Monday October 5.

The stamps used on this little collage card are from the Detective Hanna Stamp set. Wait till you see the rest of them. The candlestick, watch and notebook are all separate stamps that I put together in this little grouping.

Be sure to head on over to the Weekly Challenge thread on Hanna Stamps forum on Splitcoast Stampers to participate in the weekly challenge.

There is also another day or two to participate in the Pre-release Challenge that is being hosted by Ilina to use Rust, Olive, Teal and a neutral on a card. The winner of this challenge will be announced at the Release Party and will win a 20.00 dollar gift certificate and may also choose one unmounted stamp of their choice.

Saturday is World Card Making Day and the DT will be participating. Check out Frances thread on the Hanna Stamp forum for more details.

Sunday October 4, will be the DT Blog Hop of new release stamps projects. There will be a winner of a Riley at each DT members blog for those leaving comments and a grand finale prize in celebration of the 2nd Anniversary of Hanna Stamps, which will be a 50.00 gift certificate. Wow, that will buy a lotta rubbah!

Last but not least the Release Party, in the Hanna Stamps forum on Splitcoast Stampers, will be Monday night from 8:00 to 10:00 Central time and as always there will be lots of chatter, prizes and more fun than you can stand!!! See you there.
