Joy, Peace, Love

Anything goes this week at The House That Stamps Built.  I went with a Christmas card (working on building that stash up.)  I did a Distress Oxide background with large splatter on the first one and a mist on the second one.  I also used a shimmer mist, Frost on the first card, Sparkle on the second card. I varied the design a bit also on each card.  I used Repeat Impressions: 2103-M, These three gifts.

The weekly contests now run for the entire month for a chance to win a $25 Repeat Impressions gift certificate.  We always enjoy seeing your creations and you get an extra chance to win if you use a Repeat Impressions stamp.  See my side bar for a code for a 10% discount.

The House That Stamps Built Project of the Week

Hi everyone, it my week for the Monday Project of the Week for The House That Stamps Built. I went with a very easy fun fold card.

 Gather supplies, A2 card (4 1/4" by 5 1/2"), coordinating pattern paper: 1 design cut to 3" by 5 1/2"', and  1 1/4" by 5 1/2", coordinating piece cut to 1 1/4" by 5 1/2",spare white and coordinating cardstock for image of your choice to use with two die cuts of choice, one slightly larger to frame the other.

 Scor  1 1/4" from the edge of your card and fold back from the edge as shown above.

Glue matching pattern paper on the right and left sides as shown, coordinating paper in the center. Color and attach design of your choice.  I used Repeat Impressions 514W Prize Pumpkin colored with Copic markers.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Find Beauty

It's photo inspiration time at The House That Stamps Built:

What a fun inspiration to work with that can be used in so many ways, nice fall colors or a fun animal scene.  As you can tell above I went with the fall colors.  I did a Distress Oxide Background wash and then stenciled over it and then just some simple stamping on top with the MISTI so I could stamp it several times for a deep image.  I used Repeat Impressions:  9303-P, Thanks a latte'  and 8614-D, Find beauty.

Join us this week for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to Repeat Impressions, two chances if you use a Repeat Impressions stamp.  Discount code available on my sidebar!
