The House That Stamps Built:Sketch

Wendy has a fun sketch this week at The House That Stamps Built:

My card just seemed to design itself once I picked a main paper, I used

watercolor markers on Repeat Impressions: Butterfly (sm) for my

image, added some die cutting and gems and was done in no time.

The House That Stamps Built: Pick of the Week

It is my week over at The House That Stamps Built to do the
 POTW-Pick of the Week.  I wanted to share some of my stamping tips
that I hope will make your crafting easier for you.

 

To line patterned paper up to match a full sized A2 or any size card

front, lay your card front in the corner of a Scor Pal or Scor Buddy

and then match your paper up starting in the top left corner, works

every time:

 

To cut out words and intricate dies layer a piece of wax paper, your

card stock and then your die.  Cut as you normally do: 

The paper and all the little pieces come right out of the die:

 

When die cutting an image, leave the die on and sponge the edges: 

When you have a spare 5 or 10 minutes or are not in a creative mood cut your card stock,

leave some in half sheets and scor some into ready to go cards:

Now these pieces will go together quickly into cards, on this card I used

Repeat Impressions My Sunshine

 

On this card I used Repeat Impressions Flower Power Background.

I embossed it in white and then colored it with Peerless

Watercolors and added my die cut Hello. 

 

Thanks for stopping by today!

The House That Stamps Built: Anything Goes

The House That Stamps Built: Designer Choice Challenge

My week to choose for Designer Choice Challenge  at The House That Stamps Built

 and with tomorrow being the Fourth of July, a big celebration in America I went

 with Red, White and Blue:

 

 

I went with a fun fold card that I have seen made with flowers and

changed it up to a Fourth of July theme for my dads birthday.

I used Repeat Impressions fun 9014-M, Fireworks set

and 1113-D, Birthday.  I also used a die set, not sure of the

maker.

 

Happy Fourth of July to those of you who celebrate!
