The House That Stamps Built: Pick of the Week

 My turn to share Pick of the Week at The House That Stamps Built and I was inspired

 by a video by JenniferMcGuire on Creative Masking and as soon

 as I saw it I pictured it with Repeat Impressions snowflakes solid lg. and sm.

 and had to try it.

 

My brief explanation of how to do this.

Cut a piece of white card stock to 7" by 8 1/2 ", scor at 

3 1/2" and set aside.

Cut a piece of white card stock to  3 1/2" by 8 1/2", cut

a second piece out of scrap paper.  The scrap piece die cut 

a circle 2 1/4 " towards the bottom as shown.  Save the circle.

Set the Scrap piece over your good card stock. Place circle with temporary

adhesive on the back in the circle and remove the rectangular piece, as below.

Use medium of choice to apply Distress Oxides to your card.  Stamp small

snowflakes with VersaMark ink.

Remove circle and place rectangular piece with the circle cut out of it over the 

card with temporary adhesive on the back of it.  Stamp and emboss 

snowflake.  Remove mask, die cut, put on 3 1/2 by 8 1/2" piece of card stock

 and embellish as desired.

  The stamps I used are discounted this week at   

The House That Stamps Built. 

Just Because

 This is another card I made on World Card Making Day with my new 

Catherine Pooler stencil, this was my favorite.  Sentiment is from

Inspired by Stamping and flower and leaf die from Amuse.

The House That Stamps Built: Designer Choice Challenge

 Wendy picked this week for our DCC (Designer Choice Challenge) at The House

That Stamps Built and she choose CAS-lots of white space and minimal 

embellishments. I am not good at white space so this was a challenge for me.

                                              

 

I started with one of my favorite Repeat Impression stamps to color:

Vase of Tulips,  and used some fall looking Copic colors. I used a white

die cut (Frame in Frame by Taylored Expressions) and a white embossed  layer

 (with a circular design) from my ready  to go box and 

stopped, no gems, no pearls.  That was difficult but I do like the result.

Thanks Wendy for the challenge!

World Card Making Day

 

I got a new Catherine Pooler stencil and made up a bunch of backgrounds,

the ones above uses Distress Oxides:  broken china, speckled egg,

and faded jeans. Lighthouse die cut is Die Versions, I cut two so I could 

use all the pieces from each.  I have another card to share once it reaches the

 recipient, and will have more once I create with the other backgrounds.

Hope you had time to create today!
