Hi everyone! Just wanted to share another quick and easy birthday card I made using the adorable "I Dig You" set by Stampin Up. This card is for Riley, the youngest member of my bible study group "family" (he's turning 1!). I colored directly onto the stamp with markers in order to match this super fun Basic Grey "Life of the Party" designer paper....I love how they seem to be made for each other!!
I have used a couple of challenges in the making of this card. This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Stephanie aka Booga3....I have several cards on my list to case from her amazing gallery, but my card today is cased from this adorable card. I loved the simple layout of it!
Also, the Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge is to show "Action" on your card;
Crafty Pad: 'For The Boys';
Papertake Weekly: Anything Goes with option 'Men or Boys';
Craft Your Passion: Anything Goes.
Card 'Ingredients':
Stamps: Stampin Up 'I Dig You';
Cardstock: Stampin Up Night of Navy and Whisper White;
Ink: Ranger Antique Linen (sponging), Stampin Up Early Espresso (brown), Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy, and Garden Green;
Accessories: Spellbinders Circle Nestabilities, Stampin Up Word Window Punch (sentiment), red brads, paper piercer and template (plus espresso marker for faux stitching);
Size: A2.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a very blessed week!!
Happy Saturday, everyone! I'm so happy to have no plans today away from home, so that I can play in my stamp room! There are several challenges I have participated in during the making of this card. The Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to choose an item from the Artful Whimsy store.....I chose this pendant instantly, since I have a stamp with the exact sentiment, from the Our Daily Bread designs "Sentiments Collection"!!
I am also submitting to the following challenges:
Stampin Sisters In Christ: heavenly elements (angel wings);
The Pink Elephant Challenge: Vibrant Colors;
Sugar Creek Hollow: Make your own designer paper;
Perfect Sentiments: All about love and lacy elements (hopefully love for a friend counts for the challenge);
Our Creative Corner: use a Tim Holtz technique....I used tearing and distressing....on a tag.
To create the patterned butterfly, I inked up the Brocade Background stamp, "kissed" the 2-Step Butterfly stamp onto the inked background to pick up the design, stamped it onto vanilla cardstock, then cut it out with the custom "Grunge Butterfly Die".

Happy Friday, everyone! This is a fun card I made for my adorable little cousin's birthday. Though I usually use stamps by Our Daily Bread designs for most of my projects, I just had to ink up this "I Dig You" set by Stampin Up....perfect for any little boy's birthday (since he hasn't discovered dinosaurs yet!!)
For the scene, the backhoe stamp was inked in yellow, then I outlined each section and the edges of the inked stamp with a brown marker before stamping, in order to give the image more definition. You may have to click on the photo to see it close up.
I have used a few challenges in the making of this card:
Over at Splitcoast, the newly crowned Queen For The Day is Taylor Usry.....yay, Taylor!!!! Though her entire gallery is amazing and full of creativity, I have always loved her clean and simple designs, so I chose this one to re-create;
Also at Splitcoast this week is the Ways To Use It "Banner" Challenge, so I cut out my sentiment with the Stampin Up Word Window Punch, then cut the banner from one end;
One more challenge from Splitcoast....the Color Challenge this week is bright yellow, aqua, and celery.....my designer paper has only one stripe of green, but I think it still qualifies!
Card 'Ingredients':
Stamps: Stampin Up 'I Dig You' and 'Itty Bitty Backgrounds' (dirt speckles);
Cardstock: Stampin up Marina Mist and Whisper White;
Designer Paper: Basic Grey 'Life of the Party';
Ink: Stampin Up Summer Sun, Crumb Cake, Bashful blue (clouds);
Accessories: Stampin Up Linen Thread and Corduroy Button, Spellbinders Circle Nestabilities, Scratch Paper (for masking, to sponge the dirt), Foam tape, Sponge Daubers;
Size: A2.

Happy Saturday, everyone! It's so great when I have a full Saturday to
stay home, with no plans to go anywhere...yay! I love playing in the
Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast every Saturday....it's one of my
favorite challenges! This week's challenge is to find an item from the Bibelot store.....this adorable little bicycle reminded me that I haven't
inked up the new "Bicycle" set by Our Daily Bread designs! Then I hopped over to the Queen For The Day Challenge, to see who was crowned....it's BeckyTE!!! My goodness, you HAVE GOT to visit her gallery.....Hallmark, eat your heart out....this girl has the most amazing gallery full of flowers, birds, and all things beautiful! I chose this gorgeous card....I love using cutting dies for the main panel on my cards, so this is the one!
I will also be linking to the following challenges:
Raise the Bar: 'Hello Summer';
Paper Play: 'Double Delight'....I used two clouds;
Perfect Sentiments: 'Anything Goes...with a sentiment'.
The white panel was cut out with the largest die from the Spellbinders
Romantic Rectangles set....while the panel was still in the die, I
stamped the image, then sponged around the edges to give it a border.
This creates a matted look without adding another layer.
Card 'Ingredients':
Stamps: Our Daily Bread designs 'Bicycle';
Cardstock: Stampin Up Real Red and Whisper White;
Ink: Stazon Jet Black, Stampin Up Markers and Ink Pads;

Happy Friday, everyone! Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs June New Release Blog Hop! My goodness, all of the new sets are fabulous....check out the New Release post to see them all in one place!
If you have hopped here from Grace's incredible blog, you are right where you want to be. If not, please go back to the ODBD Blog and start from the beginning....we don't want you to miss a thing! The hop will run until Saturday, June 2nd at 8 pm EDT.....just hop from blog to blog, leave a comment at each stop, then head over to the ODBD blog and let us know that you completed the hop. Three hoppers will win a $20 gift certificate for ODBD stamps and one blessed hopper will win the Bread Basket Bundle (the entire new release!)
For my sample today, I am using the beautiful and powerful set, "Crown of Thorns". The background was stamped using the "Grunge Cross Background" stamp, inked in Wisteria Wonder and "thumped" with Cajun Craze marker before stamping. The Jesus image was inked in Wisteria, then I used the "rock and roll" technique....which means I rolled the edges of the already inked stamp in Cajun Craze to create the graduated colors on the image. The edges of both panels were torn then inked heavily for a distressed look. The scripture verse was stamped directly onto the cross background in order to keep the design as simple as possible.
Card 'Ingredients':
Stamps: Our Daily Bread designs 'Crown of Thorns' and 'Grunge Cross Background';
Cardstock: Stampin Up Wisteria Wonder and Whisper White;
Ink: Stampin Up Wisteria Wonder, Cajun Craze, and Early Espresso, Stazon Jet Black;
Accessories: MegaMount Stamp Block (to stamp the large background), Cross Charm, Copper Cording, Sponge Daubers, Foam Tape;
Size: 6 x 5.
