Hello, it is time for another Designer's Choice Challenge.  This week Melissa's challenge it Celebrate Birthdays.  Great challenge Melissa. 

I used #9706 Flowers and #1113 Happy Birthday for my card.  

Before I send you over to The House That Stamps Built I have a little announcement.  It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to step down as a Rock Star for Repeat Impressions.  Wendy is wonderful to work with and I hope to return someday.  At this time in my life I find myself struggling with creativity and the time to create.  It took many months for me to come to this point as I love being with Repeat Impressions so much.  The entire team is wonderful, talented and so kind.   I would like to thank Wendy for her support, belief in me as a stamper and for being the best stamp owner.  To my fellow Rock Stars I will miss you and value your friendship more than you know.  I will still be making cards and posting here on my blog, but am going to go with my mood and create when I want or can and the rest of the time I plan on spending with my family.  That is when I am not working every daylight hour.  Finally thank you to all of my cherished readers, you are the reason I love card making so much.  I find great joy in sharing with you the cards I make.  You lovely comments mean so much!  Oh and you are going to LOVE my replacement!  She is a extremly talented crafter and a wonderful lady.  Wendy will be announcing her soon.  Okay back to our regular scheduled programing, LOL.

Now head over to The House That Stamps Built and get all the details of the challenge.  I hope you can join us in this challenge for a chance to win some fabulous stamps.  Don't forget to check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the RI Rock Stars.

Designers Choice Challenge with Repeat Impressions

Hello it is time for another Designers Choice challenge.  This week Joyce picked Blues for the challenge.

I uses #9408 Friendship Quilt Square and #1143 Thank You.  To create the panel I stamped the quilt square three times and colored it with copic markers.  I then over lapped the squares to give it the look of one image.  I then adhered it wot some navy card stock and free hand cut the navy layer.  If you look closely you will see that it isn't perfect.  I stamped the sentiment right on the patterned paper.

Designers Choice Challenge with Repeat Impressions

Hello it is time for another Designer's Choice Challenge with Repeat Impressions.  Thsi time it is Karen's turn and her challenge is Sparkle, Glitter or Bling.  I decide to go with a little Christmas in July for my card.

Repeat Impressions Designer's Choice Challenge~Shaped or Fun Folds

Hello it is time for another Repeat Impressions Designer's Choice Challenge.  It is Karen's turn and her challenge is Shaped or Fun Folds.  I went with fun folds and created this easel card that looks like the inside of a ice cream shop.

 I used the center ice cream from #9008 Cool Treats that I stamped three times and colored with copics.  I started with a standard easel card base that I created the black and white checker board floor to hold the card open in the upright position. The counter is made with a with a piece of card stock that I folded the top inch down to create the shelf.  The holes were made with a standard office supply hole punch.  The awning was created with an old word window punch from Stampin' Up that I believe is long discounted.  This look could be achieved with a scallop boarder punch as well.  The sentiment is #9007 Sweet Things.   Here is a side shot of the card.

Repeat Impressions Designer's Choice Challenge~Monochrome

It is time for another Designers Choice Challenge.  This time it is Deonna's  turn and her challenge is Monochrome. 

  I am loving the latest set Wine Time and decided to use #9503 Wine Glass and #9513 Wine a Little for my card.  I am really enjoying CAS cards lately so I kept it simple.  I have a hard time with a lot of white space, which you may have noticed by most of my cards.  However lately I am really digging it.  I colored the wine with copic markers and hand cut the flags.

Repeat Impressions Designers Choice Challenge~For the Guys

It is time for another Designers Choice Challenge.  This time it is Karen's turn and her challenge is For The Guys.  Being the only female in my household I often need cards for the guys in my life.

 

I made this card with my hubby in mind.  We both love anything tropical so I know he will love this card.  I used #2408 Large Palm Trees and #9013 Chill Out.  I started with a piece of white card stock and sponged a small area in the place I wanted the sun with yellow.  I then masked it and started sponging around the sun with a darker yellow and followed up with shades of blue.  I then masked the sky and sponged the bottom with black ink.  Finally I stamped the palm trees which are not silhouettes like I wanted for this card.  All I did is colored the trees in with a black marker.  

Now head over to The House That Stamps Built and get all the details of the challenge.  I hope you can join us in this challenge for a chance to win some fabulous stamps.  Don't forget to check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the RI Rock Stars.

Repeat Impressions Designer's Choice Challenge~Flower Show

 

Hello it is time for another Designer's Choice Challenge with Repeat Impressions.  This time it is Cheri's turn and her challenge is "Flower Show".  Now those of you who stop by regularly already know that I love flowers.  So this challenge is right up my alley.

I used #1320 Spring Blossoms that I colored with copics.  To create the background I layered designed vellum on top of some lavender card stock.  Attaching vellum to card stock can be tricky and I knew that gluing it down under the image wouldn't be enough to keep it from curling on the corners so I used a brad in each corner.  The butterfly is a punch that I added stickles to.

Repeat Impressions Designer's Choice Challenge~Color Challenge

Hello it is time for another Designer's Choice challenge with Repeat Impressions. This week it is Karen's turn and she is has issued the color challenge of Black, White and One Other Color.  This was fun one for me as I love a CAS black, white and one color.  I picked purple for my third color.  Here is my card.

This was a fairly quick card using chalkboard technique and some washi tape.  I picked the great sentiment #3901 Over The Hill?  Which I stamped with white pigment ink on black card stock.  I stamped off once on scrap paper before stamping without re-inking on the black card stock.  I then carefully blotted the image with a tissue.  I created the frame freehand with a white marker.  To finish the image I got a little ink on my finger (greatest tool a crafter can have) and smudged it to give it more of a chalkboard look.  The res of the card came together with three different strips of washi tape and some brads. 

Now head over to The House That Stamps Built and get all the details of the challenge.  I hope you can join us in this challenge for a chance to win some fabulous stamps.  Don't forget to check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the RI Rock Stars.

Repeat Impressions Designer's Choice Challenge~All Heart

Hello it is time for another Designer's Choice challenge with Repeat Impressions.  This time it is Joyce's turn for a challenge and she choose All Heart.  Prefect for this week.  In fact I was so inspired this week I made two cards!

 

For my first card I used #4316 Flowering Hearts and #9103 Love is in the Air.   I love using red white and black for Valentines cards.  I love the bold colors together and it doesn't hurt that they are also my high school colors.  I also like to use tulle with this color combo.  Now for my next card.

 

I had started trying to use this red heart I made with Spellbinder dies and the embossed white layer.  I couldn't get them to work on the card the way I wanted.  So when I finished the first card I had the scrapes of card stock and this heart left on my desk.  That is when this idea popped into my head and I was able to whip this card up in about ten minutes.  All using the discarded pieces from the first card.  The image is #4903 Love Post.  I stamped the image twice once in black and once in red.  I then cut out the center of the red image and layered it on top of the black.

Now head over to The House That Stamps Built and get all the details of the challenge.  I hope you can join us in this challenge for a chance to win some fabulous stamps.  Don't forget to check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the RI Rock Stars.

Repeat Impressions Designer's Choice Challenge~Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty

Hello it is time for another Designer's Choice challenge with Repeat Impressions.  This time it is Cheri's turn and her challenge it Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty.  There are so many wonderful cat stamps at Repeat Impressions.  Here is my card.

 

I picked #4206 Kisa for my card.  Isn't that a sweet face?  I colored with pencils for a change and I am pleased how it turned out.  I rarely use them anymore and it is a refreshing change when I do.  I knew I wanted to have a blue eyed cat and for me I felt that I needed color the cat gray.  Which is how I picked the colors to use for my card.  I had some fun playing around with the layout and mixing patterned papers.
