I Brake for Smiles!

 Hello from design team member, Heidi!  Today I have a fun card to share with you. I had made some prints using my gelli plate, stencils and acrylic paints, and I wanted to find some bold, but pretty stamps to use over top.  

The stamps in the Old and New set were perfect for this!

Thanks for visiting and keep on stamping!

I Brake for Distress!

Hello!  I hope you are well!  

I have a card to share today using the Old and New Stamp Sheet.  I like the sayings in this set, and I also like the grunge font.  

I first masked off an area on my white cardstock and sponged over with Distress Oxide inks.  I stamped my saying, and then I stamped the flower and restamped (without reinking) get a second impression.  I used Distress Oxide black ink for my stamping. I like the chalky look it gives me, but if you want crisper stamping, I would use Versafine.  

I think this is a fun look and saying for a card for a teen.  

Thanks for visiting!

I Brake for Music!

Hello! I would love to showcase this neat Music Sheet set full of great silhouette images.  I have a teen who is beginning to love making music, so my first cards are using the guitars and amplifier images. I think this is a great set to create for teens and music lovers.

I also love that this is an easy stamping project: just cardstock, stamps and inks.  Sometimes simpler is better for teen cards. I created my own patterned paper using the images and then added some great sentiments.  The white card does have an accent of a red guitar as the nod to “daring to be different.”

The sentiments come from these sets:

Baubles, Doily and Words Half sheet

Dare to Be Different (sentiment only)

Old and New Half Sheet

Thank you for visiting the blog today!  Happy Stamping!

I Brake for Valentines!

Hello!  I have a very traditional looking Valentine to share today.  I thought that the grungy look of the sentiments in the Old and New stamp sheet would look good with the Chalkboard technique.  That was my starting point for this card.

I heat embossed the sentiment, then smudged white ink around the edge of the panel.  After framing this out with another red die cut, I used some neat foiled patterned paper for the background.  My embellishment Kiss is also from the stamp set!  I thought this turned out nicely, and definitely the photos don’t do this one justice.

Thanks for visiting today!
