Manly Monday Deep Red Stamps Catch You Later

I wanted to share another one of the "Catch you Later" cards. 

This one uses a Deep Red Stamp called 

Large Mouth Bass Stamp

I stamped it with Versa Mark ink

Heat embossed it with white embossing powder

Inked the paper with multiple distress inks.

Die behind the fish is a Spellbinders die

That I inked while still inside the die

Sentiment die is by Cricut

Cartridge: Just Because Cards

Dry embossed waves on the left created with Fiskars embossing plate.

Thanks for looking

Bee happy card

I made this card using the Cricut cartridge Just Because Cards for the sentiment. I then adhered it to vellum and ran it through my Xyron machine. The hexagon shapes were punched out using a Creative Memories punch. The bee stickers are from a long time ago by Susan Branch for Colorbok. I placed a what I call a bubble sticker over it. It's a yellow tinted epoxy sticker in the shape of a circle. It really makes the bees look bigger in real life. The ribbon is by Pebbles. The inside of the card reads "It's your birthday".

Thanks for stopping by.

Chalk-ah-Lot cafe challenge #13

The new challenge at Chalk-Ah-Lot cafe, challenge #13, will run from today until noon EST on July 14th.


The theme SUMMER.

Remember you must use powdered chalk from Stamp N Plus and I have a small request for your blog posts. Could you please mention where you used the powdered chalk and what color you used under your creation? That would help me to determine if the project follows our 1st rule of using chalks by Stamp N Plus and would be in the running for a prize. Thank you.

Quick reminder that the owner of Stamp N Plus is offering a chalk challenge special. You would receive two free chalks for the price of shipping and handling. Check out the details HERE.

For my card today I choose the sunshine stamp from the Rain or Shine stamp set. I combined Dandy powdered chalk with paint by Stamp N Plus and used it as my ink to stamp the image. I used a paint brush to lightly spread the mixture onto the stamp. After the paint was dry I used a Spellbinders die cut to cut it out and also to distress and add color to the sun. 

I cut the sentiment out using my Cricut and the cartridge Just Because Cards. I applied yellow Stickles to the word Sunshine. Patterned paper and ribbon by Stampin Up with die cuts by Spellbinders.

I used the following sketch from Pagemaps as my guide to making this card. I find using a sketch every now and then keeps me sane. I get all worried that my cards are lacking creativity.

You are my Sunshine

I made this card as a summery thank you card. I thought the sentiment from Cricut's Just Because cards cartridge was perfect with this Unity Stamp Co sun stamp. It's hard to see but the sentiment word sunshine is blessed with Stickles. The die cuts are by Spellbinders. Love me some Spellbinders:)

Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks a Melon

I made this card using Unity stamps, the watermelon, and the flower text. I colored in the watermelon with Copic markers. I made the label die cut and border using Spellbinders dies, and the sentiment die cut was cut out by my Circut using Just Because Cards. I made the title sparkle by adding Martha Stewart glitter glue. The patterned papers are by Scenic Route (green) and Bazzill (red houndstooth). Cardstock by Provo Craft, The Paper Studio, and Recollections. Rhinestone by The Paper Studio.
