Hi, everyone! This week's Ways To Use It Challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers is to stamp your own background. The background of this nameframe, a baby shower gift, was stamped one flourish at a time (Stampin Up "Kind Thoughts" set), with a Stamp-a-ma-jig stamp positioner. It took a couple of hours just to stamp and color the background, but it was worth it since it matched the nursery items (from Babies-r-us, shown below) so well! I did not have enough chipboard letters for the entire frame, so I traced all of the letters needed onto cardstock, cut them out, then heat-embossed them in black to match the frame. Please click on the photo if you'd like to see a close-up.
This bedding set is called "Lambs & Ivy"....what a beautiful, elegant nursery design!!!
Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy your weekend!

Hello!!! Today's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is the talented Wanda Guess aka stampcatwg....congrats, Wanda!!! What a fun gallery!! I chose this beautiful card as inspiration to help me create this thank you card. I will also be submitting this card to five Dare To Get Dirty Challenges as well, along with the Dynamic Duo blog challenge to use Strawberry Slush and Daffodil Delight.
The stamps I have used are new from Our Daily Bread designs, called "Strawberries". The image was stamped in Stazon Jet Black and then watercolored. For the embossed layer, I used a technique where the embossing folder is inked up on one side before embossing the cardstock....the color is pressed into the debossed area. The paper flower was cut out with Spellbinders "Cherry Blossoms" dies and the leaves are from the new "ODBD Fancy Foliage Dies" set. The little tag was cut from the "Recipe Card and Tags Dies" set.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello! I have another card to share which I made for quite a few challenges over at Splitcoast. Can't share the details of the Dare To Get Dirty Challenges I have used, but I can tell you that the Friday Free 4 All Challenge is to use arrows....I cut "arrow" shapes from the grosgrain ribbon and there are arrows in the sentiment from the ODBD set, "Blessings".
Thanks for stopping by again! I've got more stamping to do today, so there might be another post later....just wanted to warn you! :)

Hi, everyone! I'm so happy that it's Saturday.....time for more stamping!!!! I will be submitting this project for several Dare To Get Dirty Challenges at Splitcoast Stampers, along with today's Inspiration Challenge #400......I LOVE coffee and would drink it all day if I could, so I chose this inspirational piece, from National Geographic, which I would love to have for my stamp room!!
For my project, I used the Tote-All Package template from My Time Made Easy...this was very fun and pretty simple to make....and extra fun to decorate!!! The sentiment is from the Bold Botanicals Digital Stamp Set and the pattern paper is Botanical Beauties 'Sunflower Sprinkles'.
Here are some additional views.....a close up of the front and one of the back which has the cutest pocket! The cardstock I used is espresso brown, although it looks like black in the photos.
The flower is by Prima, the ribbon by May Arts, the pearls are from Zva Creative, and the sentiment panel and mat were cut out with Spellbinders Labels Four which matched the design of the tote flap.
Thanks for stopping by today!
Have a blessed weekend!!
Hi, everyone! This was a super quick, super fun, and super easy card to make! I have combined four of the Dare To Get Dirty Challenges over at Splitcoast Stampers....these are special challenges this week only for Fan Club members. No way will I be able to complete them all this year (there are 42 total!), but it is great just to be able to play along!
The pickle images and adorable sentiment are from the new "Pickles" set by Our Daily Bread designs. If you haven't seen the New Release yet, click HERE!

I have created two new samples for the release today and have also added some previously seen sneak peeks as well. These are the stamps and dies which are featured below:
My first sample features a fun set, "I Dig You". The bottom of the image panel was sponged in brown, then speckled with a marker tip. The "neighborhood" and clouds were cut out from Memory Box dies, the fence was cut out with the ODBD Fence Die. I used a craft knife to cut an opening for the edge of the shovel to go through the panel.
My second sample features the "Strawberries and Pickles", "Garden Sentiments", and the "Fancy Foliage Dies" set. Multiple strawberries, small and large, were stamped, colored, cut out, then placed around a circle which was stamped with the "Gingham Background". The large flourish from the "Fancy Foliage Dies" was cut out twice and cut into small pieces which was placed around the "Strawberry Wreath". Though it took a while to cut and color all of the berries, this was a very fun card to make!
Here are some "replays" of some sneak peeks from earlier in the week:
Thanks for hanging out with us today!
