What If Wednesday Challenge

Good morning friends!  Today Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions  challenged us with a sketch -- personally, I love the sketches - it gives me a beginning point!

Here is Wendy's sketch

I took this opportunity to make a Valentine's Day note card.  

I just love this little mouse image!  It is called Cheese Heart Mouse.  The dotted rectangle is Billboard Border.

We would like to see what you would do with this sketch.    You don't have to use Repeat Impression stamps but if you do, your name will be entered twice (2x) for a random drawing for a really nice gift certificate from Repeat Impressions.  Check out Wendy's blog, The House That Stamps Built for the complete guidelines and link your project there.

First was to emboss a piece of cardstock using the folder called Quilt Blocks by Darice.  Then I sponged on a little color using a Ranger Mini Ink Blending Tool.  The stitched khaki color rectangle base was die cut using My Favorite Thing's Blueprints 13.  The sentiment  from Stampavie called Sweet Wishes was heat embossed using Sparkle 'n Sprinkle's Brown Fizz Embossing powder - it has a pretty sparkle and shine that I tried to capture with my camera.  The sentiment was popped up using Small Joy Foam Pads.   You might take the opportunity to check out the sale at Classy Cards 'n Such on line store.

Hello, Joy here this morning.  The challenge for this week at Classy Cards 'n Such is to make a project with a button or buttons.  Here is my card:

This card starts with a stencil and some Dreamweaver Pearlescent Embossing Paste colored with Ken Oliver's Alizarin Crimson Color Bursts.  The first row is colored with a small amount, then I gradually added more color so that it took on an ombre look.  I allowed the hearts to dry and then stamped the sentiment from Hugs & Kisses by JustRite and heat embossed it with Sparkle 'n Sprinkle's Black Detail Embossing Powder.  Then added the button and a few sequins to the card.

Now it's time to join all the others in the Button, Button  challenge.  First go to the Classy Cards 'n Such blog, get some inspiration from the Design Team members and make your project using a button or buttons - be sure to look at the details on the blog and then link your project here or at the Classy Cards'n Such blog. - You could be the winner of a nice prize.  Also remember there is a sale going on right now. - Most things are 25% off - except for a few noted things.  This sale ends soon - so hurry on over.

Be Mine

Good Morning Joy here showing you another Valentine card I made with supplies from the Classy Cards 'n Such online store.

This one is for one of my grand daughters who loves butterflies.  The paper is from Key to My Heart by Kaisercraft.  The butterfly is from Majestic Monarchs Stamp Set by Sweet 'n Sassy.  It was fussy cut - very close to the edge.  Then a the matching butterfly die from Majestic Monarchs Die Set was cut from white card stock.  Then I traced around the outside of the die on some Heavy Weight Vellum and fussy cut it out.  The top butterfly was colored with copics and then I layered the 3 butterflies using Small Joy Foam Pads.  The sentiment is from Hugs & Kisses by JustRite.

Thanks for looking at my card.  Have a Happy Stamping Day.

Bright and Cheerful

Good morning, Joy here with a project for the new Bright and Cheerful Challenge at Classy Cards 'n Such.  You can say that I got a little carried away with this.  I was having so much fun that I played into the early morning with this challenge.  I made a total of 12 envelopes and cards but will not bore you to tears by showing all of them.  Here are six:

These little envelopes are made with the Cottage Cutz  Lace Envelope Die.  I LOVE this die.  The papers are from Key to My Heart, Lady Rose,  and Story Teller by Kaisercraft  Home Sweet Home, and Botanical Tea by Graphic 45 and Candy Cane Lane by Bo Bunny.   The really cute little cut-outs are all from the Die Cut Pages in the Kaisercraft papers and popped up with Joy Foam Pads.

Next to make were the cards to go inside each little envelope.

These sentiments are from Companion Words by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and Spring Words by JustRite.
