Sketch Time at Repeat Impressions

Good Morning, stamping friends!  Today Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions has a sketch challenge for us!  This is going to be fun to see what everyone creates.

Here is the sketch

And here is my card.  (my computer has been in the repair shop, so quality of photo is not as good)

Of course, I just had to use the sentiment "Joy to the world".  I used one of the dies from Wendy's Stitched Flip Card dies and then 2 from another set.  Wendy's was perfectly sized!  The cut out world was popped up on foam dots.

Inspiration Challenge for Repeat Impressions

Are you thinking snow?  I'm sure we won't get any in East Texas - but I can still hope.  The challenge from Repeat Impressions for this week is a palette of beautiful colors - here it is:

It got me to thinking Christmas and cool colors so here is the card.

I love this sweet image called Ornament Penguin.  The ornament is covered with Glossy Accents.  The background is watercolor smushing.  The Snowflakes were cut out with a Cricut Maker and Got Snow sentiment was stamped on last.

Tic-Tac-Toe Time at Repeat Impressions

Good morning stamping friends!  It's that time again!  It time to do a Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge from Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions.

Here is what the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge looks like:

Here is my card:

I used leaves, fall colors and dew drops as my guide.  The leaves are Falling Leaves, Acorn and Wheat Sheaf with the sentiment For the Beauty.... stamped on vellum.  The background was dry embossed.  The Wheat Sheaf, Falling Leaves and Acorns were cut out with a Cricut Maker.

Project of the Week

Hey -- Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions let me do the Project of the Week for this week and I'm crazy about it.  I'll be doing some experimenting with it and here are my first attempts.

Ok - I love, love the new stitching dies - but Holy Toledo! they are expensive.  I want a leaf stitching die and just the dies alone were $24.00.  So I came up with this idea.

Here are the supplies you will need

Tracing wheel (the kind you use for pattern marking)
Favorite image (stamped already)
A little black ink
An old mouse pad

 Get Well stamp, and Silhouette Maple Leaf.

First gently ink up the wheel (just like you would do a brayer) - I used a little ink dew drop - because I didn't know if it would cut the ink pad.
Here I used a ruler on top of the mouse pad to make sure I did it straight

Here I did it slowly using curves.

Heart image

Here I did it using the leaves - this was my goal!

Here are the leaves and small rectangle finished.

 Here is the card I did using the technique.

This also used the word Happy from a Happy Everything sentiment and some alphabet letters.  I attached a Starbucks card.

Thanks for looking at my project - hope you give it a try.

Falling for you........

Today for the  Repeat Impressions Challenge, Laurie, one of the Rock Star Designers gave us the challenge to make a card with leaves, fall or autumn themed.  I saw a technique a few weeks ago I wanted to try.  So here is my card.  Actually this technique ends up with two cards.

I used two sentiments Autumn's splendor.... which is from a Flip Set called Autumn Flip set but centered perfectly in the middle of the heart and For the Beauty of.....  The images are from a cool stamp called Foliage Negative (which I selectively inked up), Oak Leaf and Falling Leaves.  On one card I used an embossing folder and then I added a few sequins to each card.

This was a fun challenge for me because I got to use a new technique.  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.
