FS707 - I am so thrilled to see the amazingly talented featured stamper is Angela Maine aka Arizona Maine. I have been in love with her crafting for a very long time and always love seeing anything new she adds to her gallery. Congratulations Angela!!!!

I found this fun CARD

I loved the flying witch and it reminded me of the flying witch in this cute stamp from DRS Designs.

Many of Arizona's cards are CAS style so I kept this one CAS.

I stamped the image and the sentiment and then sponged the moon yellow and sponged blue and purples around the card base. I finished off with yellow copics on the windows.

I am also continuing my goal to use a tote of items on my table. There are so many fun goodies and die cuts that I have received over the years from friends and family but I found they were not getting used. So I made it my goal to put them all in 4 totes and I am now down to about a half a tote. These patches were in that tote and they make some fun cards for friends that are sports fans.

Week of 8/22/20 cards

 

FS706 - This weeks incredibly talented Featured Stamper, Elizabeth, better known around here as palparis. I am always amazed at her cards and she is the queen of making more than one card for many occasions. Congratulations Elizabeth, I love your gallery.

I found this cute CARD.

I loved how she stamped the daisy several times across the bottom.

Rather than a Daisy I used this cute brook from DRS Designs and stamped it several times then colored it with copics. I cut the layers down and added this fantastic sentiment.

If the Shoe Fits...

CAS599 - make a card with something that makes you smile. For me it is my family and this card is for my hubby for our anniversary. I stamped the lips with versamark and added red embossing powder to them. Next I added the mole and finished with the sentiment. On the inside it says "Today and Forever". This is the best sentiment for my hubby for our anniversary. There are 2 Times... MMTPT630 - Dig Deep! USEIT2020 - This teapot and cup were in my tote of items to get used up this year. The Teaser Teapot was blue and reminded me of this teapot in my tote to get used. Stamped the sentiment and punched out a small tag. Cut the paper layers and added ribbon. Popped the teapot and cup layer up om dimensionals and tucked the tag under the teapot. Blue Teapot WT806 - Corner Rounder USEIT2020 - Fox Super quick card trying to use up this fox image from my tote of items. I cut the end off the 4.25 x 5.5 card base and added DP to the end. On the top I added a layer of kraft paper and rounded the corners of the base and the kraft layer. I added the fox from my tote and finished with nuvo drops, a button and bakers twine.

Miss You

Week of 8/15/20 Cards

FS705 - the amazingly talented Featured Stamper is Kelly (sunstamper). Her gallery is full of wonderful inspiration. I found this CARD and immediately thought of a tic tac toe board.

Many years ago when my son was little my mother in law use to send him cards and letters that included fun things for him to play with. This would have been something she would have put together for mailing to him.

I stamped the images on green and orange paper and die cut them. Then I used Chip board in the middle pieces to add some strength to them and layered the greens and oranges on the bottom. I cut strips of black paper and created the tic tac toe board and stamped the sentiment.

I attached the pieces with tape runner so they can easily come off the card to play a game.

Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun!

CAS598 - Balloons

Die cut the congratulations and numbers. Embossed the white card base and added bakers twine to the balloons.

Finished off with some sequins.

Congrats 2020

MMTPT629 - CHEER C - Chartreuse, Carrot H - Hare E - Embellishments R - Rust, Rose Pink This image was sent to me in a Teapot Tuesday exchange. I colored it with pencils and cut the layers. The Hello die was also sent to me in an exchange and it was white. I used a copic to color it pink to match the card. Hello Bunny

WT805 - Cling Wrap

I used the cling wrap technique for the rainbow background. I put rainbow colors on the cling wrap and spritzed water then added the watercolor paper to soak up the colors.

Once dry I stamped the paw prints and sentiment and finished with a die cut dog on dimensionals.

Rainbow Bridge

F4A547 - You've got a friend

This Billiard table was hand drawn by me then I uploaded it and digitized it so I can use it again in the future,

This is going to my "little brother". My brother has been best friends with his friend James for so long that I now call James my little brother. Even when talking to my family I will say our little brother and everyone knows I mean James.

I drew the image then uploaded it and cleaned it up on my computer creating a digital image. Printed it out and colored with copics.

Next I cut the layers and stamped the birthday sentiment using the DRS Designs birthday sentiment.

Hand Drawn Birthday

 IC767 - Garden Fence Inspiration where I found this cute Fence

USEIT2020 - When I saw the inspiration I found I still have this Heartfelt Creations card kit that I need to use up. They came stamped and cut and I just needed to color, shape and layer.

Week of 8/8/20 Cards

 

FS704 - the incredibly talented Lisa Foster (lisa foster) is this weeks Featured Stamper. I have been a huge fan of her incredible talented for a very long time. Her gallery will blow you away.

I found this adorable Card and was inspired by the webs and the small spider on the green DP. It was a super subtle detail but one that she is great at making sure is just right on all of her cards.

I stamped the two spider webs on opposite corners and heat embossed them in white. Then I sponged purple over the webs.

Next I then stamped the Happy Halloween sentiment and stamped the spider 3 times and then hand drew lines down to the spiders from the sentiment.

Halloween Spiders

CAS597 - Speech Bubbles

Hello Rabbit

WT804 - Inside Out

The moment I found that this step die cut was available I ordered it. I have wanted to make a step card for a graduation card and Yeah the die cut came out.

This is probably the first die cut that when it arrived I had it on the craft table making a card.

Cut the layers for the step card from Divinity Designs and assembled. Die cut the sentiment and numbers and added to the inside.

On the outside I embossed the graduation caps and die cut the graduates. I finished off with the congratulations die cut and a couple of graduation sticker embellishments.

 No challenge for this card.

This is headed to a dear sweet friend that just lost her only child to a drunk driver. I am heart broken and have no words.
