The House That Stamps Built: Inspiration Photo

 

 

 

Another beautiful Inspiration Photo to inspire you at The House

That Stamps Built this week:

 

I went with the pine cone and greenery as my inspiration.  I had yet to ink up

812-G, Pine Cone so I went right to that stamp, stamped

 then cut with my Scan & Cut and thought it paired well with

 2708-M, Pine Branch -which I colored with Tim Holtz Distress Markers before

stamping.  Added my sentiment: 2212-I, May you know and

some die cut greenery (Tim Holtz).

The House That Stamps Built: Anything Goes

Everyone's favorite week at The House That Stamps Built:

Anything Goes:

I needed one more Thanksgiving card so I pulled out a smooshed

ink background from my stash that looked fallish, die cut a few

Filigree Alder Leaves and added this favorite Thanksgiving saying

of mine from Repeat Impressions: 3214-G, Thanksgiving Blessings,

a few green gems and it was done.

Happy Thanksgiving to those that celebrate!  I am thankful
for all my followers and all that visit my blog!

The House That Stamps Built: Inspiration Photo

Another lovely photo inspiration from Wendy at

The House That Stamps Built:

 

 

I had such a fun time making this card! I embossed Repeat Impressions

3312-E, Maple Leaf, and 3313-E, Oak Leaf in clear embossing powder

on Time Holtz watercolor paper.  I then did Ink Smooshing with

Distress Oxides.  After I inked the leaves with Distress Oxides

Seedless Preserves, stamped off once and stamped leaves on the

background. I finished off with ribbon and 3 die cut Filigree Alder Leaf's

 by Pawsitively Pawsome Designs.
