A Peek Into My Stamping Room

No Hurries, No Worries!

Hello friends!  I don't know about you but when you start talking about summer most people think about the beach and going on an island get-away.  Unfortunately, I won't be having that type of vacation this year but I got this super cute stamp from Pink Ink Stamps and I couldn't wait to start coloring it.  It definitely will remind you of all the great things about summer!

I used some Spectrum Noir Graphic Markers to color the image.  This is a pretty detailed image so it took alittle time to color but I love to use that time to just relax!  I decided that this image really didn't need a whole lot of embellishments or anything to take away from the detail so I kept the actual card pretty simple.

I used a dotted embossing folder on the white layer and stamped the sentiment onto a small scrap of white cardstock.  I just cut around the sentiment and popped it up with some 3d foam squares.  I have a million buttons and have decided I should use them more so I used some twine to anchor the button on the card.  Pretty easy once you color the image!

Be An Explorer

Hello friends! Hope you had a great Father's Day weekend.  It's been so hot here and this week is supposed to be even hotter.  That is a perfect time to stay in my cool basement and create lots of projects!  I just received a big box of goodies from Crafter's Companion that will be showcased on HSN (Home Shopping Network) in July.  I will be sharing those things really soon.  Today I have a card to share with you that I created using a Crafter's Companion Die'sire die and Foil Transfers along with the Gemini machine.

Here is my card.....

I really love this color combo.  I used some Rustic Wedding 6x6 paper along with white and peach cardstock.  I die cut the Die'sire Spring Garden Create-A-Card die from peach cardstock.  This die is really neat.  It is actually two pieces.  You can use each separately or use them together like I did here.  After I die cut it from peach cardstock, I adhered it to a piece of white cardstock and just trimmed around it.  That way the white shows thru and you can see all the detail!   I used the Floral Tea Foil Transfers along with Matt Gold Foil.  I also added Matte gold sequins.  I used 3d foam squares and some foam tape to pop everything up.  To apply the transfer, I just ran it thru the Gemini.  This definitely gives you the best result when using the transfers.

No.1 Dad!!

Hello friends!  I have one more Father's Day card to share with you.  This card uses all Crafter's Companion supplies.  If you are a fan of Crafter's Companion on HSN, I hope that you have joined the Facebook group.  If you haven't and want to join, just comment here and I can help you out with that.  The group has all kinds of inspiration using supplies Crafter's Companion sells on HSN.  This was a pretty fast card to create!

 

To create this card, I used the Bunting, Buckles and Medals die set to create the medal.  I die cut the medal from the Matt Gold Luxury Cardstock and from teal cardstock.  I die cut the No. 1 from the Friends & Family Words die.  The letters for DAD are from the 0.5 Alphabet dies.  I think this was a great way to create a Father's Day card without the need for a stamp that says "Happy Father's Day".  Especially since I couldn't find any stamp that said that in my whole stash!  LOL

Thanks for stopping by today!

 

Simply The Best Dad!

Hello friends!  Can you believe it's almost Father's Day?  This time last year, I was in full wedding mode with my daughter's wedding.  Thankfully that's all over because this weekend is supposed to be the hottest weekend so far!  Well we will have a quiet little celebration for my husband on Sunday.  So I got busy making some Father's Day cards.  I got out some supplies that I have had for a long time and have never used.  

Here is my card.....

This was a pretty simple card to create.  I took my color combo from the plaid paper.  I love these papers from Lawn Fawn.  There is two different plaids in every color in the paper pad.  I used the circle and star dies to create interest.  I used some StickIt! adhesive on the back of the white cardstock so it was easy to adhere the letters down.  I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of white and cut the banner ends.  I used foam tape and 3d foam squares to adhere things down.  I think my husband will really like this!  Now I have to get it to my girls so they can sign it!

Try to stay cool this weekend!

Rose Gold - A New Favorite

Hello friends!  I know it's been awhile since I have posted anything.  I have been creating but I have been just having some summer fun.  Nothing too exciting but it's been nice to just relax and just do nothing.  I took some time to create a couple of cards the other day using some supplies from Crafter's Companion.  This is where the color Rose Gold comes into play.  I have to say that I absolutely love that color.

Here are my cards.....

For this square card, I used the Floral Tea Foil Transfer kit and Rose Gold Foil.  Plus I used some Rose Gold Glitter Luxury Cardstock.  See what I mean?  It's a great color.  It looks okay in this picture but I have to say it's so much better in real life!  I have never been real successful with rub-ons, etc.  But I have figured out that if you run the transfers thru the Gemini Machine, you will get perfect results everytime.  First you place the transfer onto the cardstock and run it thru the machine.  Then you remove the transfer plastic and place the foil on the cardstock and run it thru the Gemini.  Perfect results everytime!!  If you would like to see this technique, just leave a comment and will create a video to show how I do this.

Here is another card.......

  For this card I used some patterned paper from the Rustic Cottage 6x6 paper pad.  The heart is the Die'sire Create-A-Card Love is in the Air die.  I cut this die twice.  Once from the vanilla cardstock and once from the rose gold glitter cardstock.  I cut out the glitter flowers and glued them into place.  I added some pearls and the foil transfer sentiment.  If you would like the instructions on creating this card, just click HERE to see them.  If you would like to see more project sheets using products that Crafter's Companion has sold on HSN, just click HERE.  There are lots of project sheets of beautiful projects.
