It is a special week, it is Wendy, the owner and designer of Repeat Impressions

Below is the birthday card I made her since she lives in Maine and likes

all things nautical.

3412-C, Gulls in Flight, and 6104-J, Birthday Vertical, papers by

Down by the Shore, die cuts by Sizziz.

 

It makes you want to head to the ocean and soak in the sunshine!

The House That Stamps Built: Inspiration Palette Challenge

 

Wendy has a fun Inspiration Photo this week at The House:

 

 

I thought that this darling rabbit Ode to Spring fit the photo well.

I did lots of inking with this one and really appreciated my Misti. First

I inked the rabbit with ink and stamped him/her.  Then I used my Tim Holtz

Distress markers to color and stamp the flowers and grass. Die cut

layers and flowers also Tim Holtz.

 

I hope the photo or colors inspire you to join in with our challenge,

you might just be the lucky winner of the monthly drawing for the

$25 Repeat Impression's gift certificate. Each entry gets a chance, two if you use a

I was one of the lucky teacup winners two months ago of Mrs's lovely

ribbon on the first card and the papers on the second two cards!  And I still

have goodies left to play with!  Thank you Mrs. A!

Joy's week to choose our theme over at The House and she has picked

Easter/Spring for our challenge this week.

 

 

I combined the two and used several Repeat Impression stamps:

Happy Easter/Spring, Ladyslipper, Crocuses and Vase of Tulips.  I added

some fun die cuts, split my card front and added acetate for a brighter

cheerier look.

The House That Stamps Built Pick of the Week-Front Step Card

Good Morning, Donna here with the POTW (Pick of the Week) for

The House That Stamps Built and we are going to make a fun,

yet easy, yes easy, Front Step card today. Any of the stamps

I used are 20% for 1 week!

 

 

I used Repeat Impressions: 904-L, Daffodils, 5125-C, Dragonfly Sil (sm) and

3909-F, Happy Easter/Spring.

 

Start by gathering your supplies:  Colored card stock measuring  4 1/4" by 11",

Patterned paper 4x 5 1/4", 2- 4x 1 1/4"'s, 4 x 1 1/4".   Scor tape.Scor card stock at

1/2-2-4 and 5 1/5 inches.  

Attach patterned paper as shown. Put Scor tape on 1/2" flap and lay

card as shown below to attach, pressing firmly.

It will then look like this:

Color and attach images of choice, you will want to be sure that when lying flat

your layered image does not go above the top of the cardstock.  I did inside-outside

die cutting with my image to avoid this.

I hope you will give this a try!
