Lakefront Stamping Creations

Gather your supplies: Cardstock: white 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" -several sheets,
various dye inks, q-tips rubber banded together- I got the most control
with 2-3 together, stamps of your choice, I used Repeat Impressions:
1614-J, Fall Tree, 1610-J, Spring Tree

and 9106-G, Sending Smiles.

Stamp your image, using a MISTI or stamp positioner if you have one. Dip your

q-tip bundle into your die inks and dab on image. Continue dipping and

dabbing until you have colored and achieved the effect you want. Restamp

your image to bring out your image.

Layer and embellish as desired, I have two examples for you:

I hope you will try and enjoy this technique, thanks for stopping by!

The House That Stamps Built: Inspiration Photo

Time for some photo inspiration at The House:

I went with the fun photo colors, and the photo, I felt the falling leaves

were a good take on the falling stones. I used a stencil and Distress

Inks making sure to overlap the colors when I switched for interest.

I used Repeat Impressions 4025-F, Deepest Sympathy, a few brads,
and epoxy shapes for accents.

I hope you will join in the challenge. Remember, your creation doesn’t have to be made

with Repeat Impressions stamps, but if it is, you will get an additional entry in the

drawing for a $25 Repeat Impressions Gift Certificate this month! Check out

my sidebar for a discount code.

Happy Birthday

I got this darling stamp and die set with a magazine at Barnes and

Noble, such a fun set! I had to use it right away to make my

sister-in-laws birthday card. It came with Stamps, a stencil and

die cuts, and the magazine for $14.95, can't beat that.

The House That Stamps Built: Tic-Tac-Toe

Time for another fun challenge at Repeat Impressions, choose your

row and join the fun:

Fun folds is one of my favorite things to do so I knew I was starting with the

center square and I went diagonally up and down, primary color,

orange, green, yellow and blue, and a sponged background

using Distressed Oxides spritzed with Copper shimmer.

My fold is a side Easel card using: Repeat Impressions: 904-L, Daffodils

9009-F, Butterfly (sm) and 6104-J, Birthday Vertical

Closed card for mailing:
