Turners Syndrome

 February is the Third Annual Turners Syndrome  Blog Hop and
Challenge.  I wanted to link up a card to help spread awareness this year.

This is the Inspiration Photo to use:

For my card I put squeezed lemonade, cracked pistachio and worn lipstick Distress 
Oxide inks on my mat, spritzed with water and smooshed away.  I die cut
this Stampin Up die twice it pink cardstock, glued together and positioned on
my card front after stamping and embossing this sentiment from Inspired by
Stamping. 

What I learned this year from the hop was that Turner Syndrome is more 
common in pregnancies that do not make it to term.  Check out the hop to
learn more about this "girl thing" syndrome.

The House That Stamps Built: Get Well

 Our theme this week at The House That Stamps Built is Get Well.

My card:

Inside:


On the front of my card, I paper pieced the Thanks a latte', (I think it can double as 
a tea or soup cup,) banner cut the Get Well and stamped  3rd and 4th
generations of  the Palm Frond Sil. (lg) on the patterned paper for
interest.  Inside I cut some coordinating patterned paper and die 
cut an oval for a tissue to make a tissue box.  A few  gems on the
front and this card was ready to mail.

be the lucky winner of the monthly drawing for the

Repeat Impression stamps but an extra chance if you do.

Fun fold time


I tried my luck on a flap fold card and it was so much fun. I enjoyed
 adding some stenciling details to each one. Much easier than I
 expected and like how it turned out so much that I made several more:

The House That Stamps Built: Love

 A fun new challenge at The House That Stamps Built starting
today with the theme of Love!

My card:

I started with making a Geli plate background and then stamped Ruffled Heart Border
it in red, and clear embossed it.  After fussy cutting it, I die cut love 3 times
and after gluing together I inked these up in red ink, then with Versamark ink
and embossed with clear embossing powder, I repeated this 3 times for a nice
coating and dimension.  Then I did not know what to do with it, it sat on my
worktable for 2 weeks, finally I got a design together today.  

We would enjoy seeing you join our weekly challenge, you might just

The House That Stamps Built: Designer Choice Challenge

 Laurie's turn to pick the challenge theme this week for The House That Stamps Built 
and she went with a photo for our inspiration, how fun is this.

                                                     Image may contain: indoor 

  Here is the card I made using her cute foyer as my inspiration:


 I used patterned papers to make my card look like a wall, added  Repeat 
Impressions Happy Hello framing it like a picture on the wall and Flowering Hearts,
as every entrance way needs a plant. 

We would like to see your take of the photo.
