The House That Stamps Built: Anything Goes

Yes, it is that time again, Anything Goes at  The House That Stamps Built,

and how do I know that?  I got a message from Wendy, the owner of

Repeat Impressions, asking where my card was.  I set a record

making this card.  Luckily I had made a similar card the night

before so I was able to quickly CASE myself.

 

Wendy has designed several cute winter penguins, I used

8808-E, Knit Cap Penguin and 9106-G, Sending Smiles.

I created the snow with a Taylored Expressions

Snowfall embossing folder.  Distressing with Memento

Summer Sky and coloring with Copics. 

 

I kept my card simple without any glitter as I am starting on Cards

for Little Hearts,  a winter card drive for children in two heart hospitals,

who have congenital heart disease run yearly by

Christina Hor.  It runs October 1 to November 1 if

you would like to join in, every card helps.

The House That Stamps Built: Presentation of The Week

Hi Donna here with my week to share a project for The House That Stamps Built.

 

I am sharing a quick and easy project  for you as September always
seems to be a busy time.  For my card you need
 an A2 envelope, brown cardstock -5 1/4 by 2 1/2 by 3" and 2 1/2 by 4",
 ivory cardstock 2 1/2 by 3 3/4"

 

Fold and scor your envelope in half, envelope opening to the inside. Stamp the

front of the envelope with Repeat Impressions 3404-C Random Dots, stamp

ivory cardstock with 9303-P, Thanks a latte' flowered cup and

sponge the edges with the same ink.  Open your envelope and

stamps Thanks a latte from the same stamp set.  I then used a coffee

bean stencil from my stash.  Attach your ribbon to the back

of your cardstock and on top of your folded envelope

after attaching your envelope with adhesive of choice.

Then attach top two layers and embellish.  This card is

idea to tuck in a Starbucks gift card and/or a handwritten

note.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Shower Invitation

My great niece is expecting in November , she likes zebras,

green and yellow.  Of course pink had to be added in

also since she is expecting a girl! 

 

Two of my nieces(aunt and grandma to be) and

sister-in-law (great grandma to be) helped make the

invitations and did a great job with the stamping. I

will be a great great aunt for the first time!

The House That Stamps Built: Tic-Tac Toe

Another fun Tic-Tac-Toe at The House That Stamps Built from our leader Wendy:

I chose the top row, dimension-light house-sponging.  If you are a regular
follower you know nautical, bears and butterflies all make regular appearance
on my blog so it was a given that I would choose the lighthouse.  This one
3003-K, Cape Hatteras Light is a new one on my stash (thanks Wendy) after
stamping it, I also embossed it and cut is out with my Scan and Cut to layer for
 added  dimension, also added numerous die cut layers, sponged clouds,
 added a 6104-J, Birthday Vertical and a cute little fish for additional dimension.
This lighthouse will be seeing a lot of ink!

Hope you will link up this week for a chance to win the monthly drawing for a

$25 Repeat Impressions Gift Certificate.  Cards made with

Repeat Impressions stamps get an extra entry. See discount code

Honey, Fossilized Amber, Peeled Paint and Distress ink tea dye. I was

quite happy with how this turned out and am looking forward to
