Julie, Love and Best Wishes

Hi Everyone,

Today I want to show you a

wonderful stamp from the

Patchwork Polly

line of stamps. This one is called

Julie.

You will find these in the

Rubber Stamps section, on the

Crafter's Companion Website.

  

I started out with a piece of green

Pearlescent Card Stock.

Then stamped out the images on

Ultra-Smooth-Premium-White-Card stock.

After coloring them in with my

 Spectrum-Noir Markers

I cut them out with an Exacto knife.

( Be very careful using this knife,

I use a quilters cutting glove to

protect my fingers. )

I placed some lace and ribbon across

the bottom, then arranged the

stamped pieces on the card with

foam dots.

On the stars and circles I added

 some crystal lacquer to give it a

little glossy finish. Then added

glitter to the hearts, bow, and wings.

These stamps are so cute, and

 come in a 6 different sets.

This is the one I used:

Also pop over to the

Crafter's Companion Challenge Blogspot

and check out the wonderful stamps

they are giving away.

They also have a great challenge this month. The theme is Sunshine or Yellow.

Just use one of the Crafter's Companion

stamps, make a project, and enter.

The prize this month is 30.00

in gift certificates.

How great is that!!

I hope you enjoyed the card this week.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.

Game Fun

Hi Everyone,

First I want to wish a

Happy Father's Day to all

the dads out there.

Today I had a little fun with the

game "Monopoly".

Just think of all the great pieces

you can use from old games.

We had a Monopoly game, and

a Scrabble game in the basement

not doing a thing, lol.

So I grabbed a few pieces from the

game, and here is what I came up with:

I had so much fun going through

the game to find what I needed.

Next the Scrabble game, lol.

No game is safe :)

What kind of games do you have

that you're not using any more?

Have fun, and make something

wonderful.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

And have a scrappy day.

Kanban Kitty Card

A Year In The Life Of A Tree

Hi everyone,

Today I want to share with you a
wonderful stamp from the 
Art-Cure, line of stamps.

I just love this tree stamp!!!

You can make the tree into what

you need for your project.

This is the front of the card.

Just a simple die cut tree from

Memory box inc. called Arboscello tree, layered on red and black card stock

over a white base.

For the base I used a 17 by 5

piece of card stock folded in half,

then in half again, to make an M shape.

This is so I have room to

place four trees.

I stamped out 4 trees and using spellbinders dies, cut them out and embellished them

with flower soft, Spectrum-Noir Markers,

and pearls to look like apples.

The tree started out plain. I added

some color in the background

for the sky, and then a little

 color in the tree. Then used the flower soft.

I did this with all four trees.

Coloring first, then adding the

embellishments.

 Placed them on the card, over a

piece of red card stock, layered

over the white.

I started out with winter.

You can see how beautiful this stamp is!

Then in the spring, when the tree

has all the blossoms, adding 

a little light green.

For summer, I added darker greens,

and the apples.

(yes those are apples LOL)

Then I used fall colors, orange

and yellow. Adding a little pile of leaves

on the ground.

( I know an apple tree doesn't

normally turn these colors, but  I

wanted to show how you can change

the colors to make the tree different)

It's all in fun :)

This is what the card looks like open.

 

All these trees from one stamp.

To see this stamp and all the wonderful

new stamps from the Art Cure Line.

Go to Crafter's Companion.com

and check them out.
