The House That Stamps Built: Anything Goes

 

Yes, it is everyone's favorite week at The House, Anything Goes! I need

to get going on Christmas cards as it will be here before we know it.

 

I embossed 2103-M, These three gifts with Egyptian gold embossing

powder on a white silver metallic paper, added an elegant gold

layer, a few gold stars and left it at that for the sentiment to

shine.

I will give you one guess as to where I am this week, you guessed it.  I

am laying on the beach, sight seeing, eating and of course enjoying wine with

dear friends since high school.  I made these wine bottle tags/bookmarks

as a little remembrance of our trip for the group.

 

I look forward to catching up with your blogs when I get back!

The House That Stamps Built Inspiration Photo

Inspiration Photo week at The House,  Wendy does an amazing job at picking

the photos, making it easy to create on this week!

 

I started by blending my background with Distress Oxides: Broken China,

Mermaid Lagoon, Blueprint Sketch and Faded Jeans. I then stamped

5704-L, Bamboo with Distress Oxide Peeled paint.  Next I

stamped 9001-L, Butterfly (lg) 

and colored with Copic markers, fussy cut and attached to my card.  I then 

die cut some flowers from a scrap of pre-colored paper from my stash 

with Tim Holtz flowers.  Looks pretty much like the photo!

Presentation of the Week

I wanted to share some scored card fronts for my Presentation of

the Week for The House That Stamps Built  I have a  3x3 flip tool
 I made yearsago that I refer to when I want a fun scored card front.  It has mini
scorideas and on the back of each the measurements.  I choose 3 for
 today's tutorial.

The first one I chose my starting spot scored across a 4x5 1/4 paper

and again 1/4" below:

I then turned the paper and scored every 1/2 " across:

My second one I scored 1/4" from each edge:

The third one I scored diagonally every 1/4 ""

My finished cards:

Repeat Impressions: Look to this day... , Bamboo

Repeat Impressions: Flower Power Seperates , Birthday Vertical

Repeat Impressions: Butterfly (lg) & Butterfly (sm) , Because

All the stamps I used will be discounted this week, see The House That 
Stamps Built for details.

Thanks for stopping by today!

The House That Stamps Built: Tic-Tac-Toe

 

 

You guessed it, Tic-Tac-Toe week at The House That Stamps Built.

 

 

I started with Winged things using 9204-M, Water Lilies & Dragonflies

and then ended up with the right vertical column as it fit my image

best.  I had purple, added ribbon and a dry embossed card front.  My

image is colored with Copics and has layers of Wink of Stella for

shimmer.
