Stamp Time Somewhere

2013 Artisan Design Team - Artisan Wednesday Wow - MDS and Hybrid Style!

Hi! Welcome Back!

 

Thanks for joining us for our Artisan Weekly Wow Blog Hop! Maybe you just came from Jane's blog - that girl ROCKS! If not, make sure you follow the hop all the way around to check out all 10 projects!

   For this month, I really wanted to get back to spending some time creating with my all time faorite medium - my crafting LOVE - My Digital Studio. It's been a while. I think I spent so much time creating my Artisan entries, I needed a little break - but I am BACK!

 This card makes me HAPPY! It uses one of my current FAVE MDS items - Feathered Woodcuts. I am using it constantly right now - I guess I just love the feather trend. I'm also loving the confetti trend, so I created my own background with the Splatter stamp - I cropped it down to just the large splatter so I could have a slightly irregular shape and then lots of copy and past to create the look. I love the Silver Glimmer behind the "Woot" in the feather - FUN! (I can not WAIT to see this one printed!!!!)

 Here is another card idea using the Feathered Woodcuts Embellishments. I created it first in MDS, then decided to recreate it in traditional products with the help of my e-cutter!

 and here is how it translated to paper -

I love the extra touch of the gold embossing!!!!

 

 

TIP -  I love creating in MDS to get my colors, layout and design and then creating it in traditional cardstock and stamps.

Hope you enjoy all of the AMAZING projects that the rest of the team has for you today. These are some special projects, so please let the team know what you think!

 

Hope you have a great day!!!

MDS Blog Hop - What I'm working on - September

Hi there, welcome back!

 Did you get a chance to see yesterday's Artisan Blog Hop? Some GREAT GREAT projects.

 This is our week to show you what we are working on. There are so many pages I need to get caught up on. I thought that maybe it would be a good time to scrap these pictures from when my Granny came to visit last month. She lives in SW Missouri, so I don;t get to see her often.

 

  I have sooo many photos I need to work on - I've let myself get rather behind.

 

 Enjoy the other cute projects this week.

2013 Artisan Design Team - Artisan Wednesday Wow - Some Holiday Happiness

Hi! Welcome Back!

So, what did you think of last week? AMAZING, right? I LOVE this Design Team!

Every Wednesday for the next year, the 2013 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team will be bringing you FUN, new, exclusive projects - shared here on our blogs. Are you looking forward to it as much as we are???? I know we sure hope so! Maybe you just came from Jane's blog - that girl ROCKS! If not, make sure you follow the hop all the way around to check out all 10 projects!

  So, I think I mentioned that this box definitely said - DECOR and "3D" to me. I have the perfect little spot for an 8x10 picture frame and I LOVE changing it out for seasons, celebrations and even just on a whim...

 

  For whatever reason, I had a REALLY hard time getting this to photograph well, I hope you can see some of the detail....

 The back layer is a page from the Witche's Brew Designer Series Paper. Then there is a Gumball Green mat, layered with Basic Black The main image panel is actually stamped on Coaster Board (layered with Basic Black) and on Dimensionals. I inked the stamp with markers and the little chevron pumpkin on the end has an additional layer and the smiley face guy is popped up. The "Halloween Happiness" is embossed in Basic Black Embossing Powder, also on a layer of Coaster Board, hand cut and layered on a hand cut, Gumball Green flag.

 When I put it in the frame, I actually placed it on the FRONT side of the glass so that you can enjoy all the fun dimension!

 

COLOR COMBO - Basic Black, Gumball Green, Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White

TIP -  Don't be afraid to stamp an image multiple times to cut out, layer and add dimension.

Hope you enjoy all of the AMAZING projects that the rest of the team has for you today. These are some special projects, so please let the team know what you think!

 

Hope you have a great day!!!

2013 Artisan Design Team - Artisan Wednesday Wow - An "Unexpected"

Hi! Welcome Back!

HOLY COW!!! What an AMAZING week of projects - you are FOR SURE going to want to check out all of the projects this week - this team is BRINGIN' IT!

Every Wednesday for the next year, the 2013 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team will be bringing you FUN, new, exclusive projects - shared here on our blogs.

If not, make sure you follow the hop all the way around to check out all 10 projects!

The day I sat down to work on these projects, I was REALLY in a "something other than a card" mode. Everything I made was some sort of home decor it seemed. I'm really not sure what tiny corner of my brain came up with this - but I am sure glad I did - I LOVE IT

I googled a pattern for a party hat and masquerade mask, printed them, cut them out and adhered them to the Essentials Designer Series Paper, then cut them out again and started embellishing!

I think I have a renewed addiction to Black Embossing Powder lately.....

See the little bat???? Well, he started his life as a Butterfly punch!!! I just used me small circle punch and punched away some of his wings and Voila!

About half way through wrapping that dowel I began to realize I had lost my mind. The feathers came from the Feathered Woodcuts in MDS and were cut out with my Silhouette. Lots of black glitter!!!

MDS Blog Hop - Creating Home Decor With MDS

Hi there, welcome back!

  Holy cow! Is it just because we are in the beginnings of a new school year, or is there something else making it seem like the days are flying by?

 Did you get a chance to see yesterday's Artisan Blog Hop? Some GREAT GREAT projects, and some great MDS ideas too.

 This week we wanted to do something a little different - so we focused on Home Decor items. Let me tell you - some talented ladies in this hop!!!

 I have been wanting to make this sign for my son's room for a while now, so this was a nice push. I created it in a 12"x24" custom project. I want to get it printed and put it on a board.

  He is going to LOVE it!!!! I used a Crumb Cake background, with a Natural Compositions stamp overlay. The font is downloaded and called "Varsity" The ball and player come from "Game Day Baseball" download.

 Yes, I know it is simple - ahhhh, the beauty of designing for BOYS! When I get it printed and hung in his room I will post it for ya!

COLOR COMBO - Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Basic Black

TIP -  I LOVE being able to change the oppacity of items in MDS to build depth.

 Enjoy the other cute projects this week.

2013 Artisan Design Team - Artisan Wednesday Wow - Beware Banner AND a new Feature you're going to want to see

Hi! Welcome Back!

So, what did you think of last week? AMAZING, right? I LOVE this Design Team!

Every Wednesday for the next year, the 2013 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team will be bringing you FUN, new, exclusive projects - shared here on our blogs. Are you looking forward to it as much as we are???? I know we sure hope so! Maybe you just came from Jane's blog - that girl ROCKS! If not, make sure you follow the hop all the way around to check out all 10 projects!

My idea for this "scary" little banner was for it to go on maybe my bookshelf, or over a mirror - maybe in the bathroom. It's not very big, but it has a LOT of personality!

I cut my Chevron Ribbon vertically so it would be thinner and fray a little - I LOVE the way it looks with this. I also love the little Washi tape flags. The ovals with the letters were stamped with the Dictionary stamp and the ABC-123 Sketch alphabet.





OK - NEW FEATURE TIME!!!!!!!

HIS AND HERS STAMPING

 The other day before I left to run an errand, my husband told me he wanted to stamp!!!! So I told him to go for it. When I came home, he had created this all by himself!

  He cut out the label by hand ( he wasn't sure where to find the right punch), the center of it was carefully punched out too - and the skull was cut out and on dimensionals. Those are rhinestones in the eyes too - all his idea. Not too shabby, huh?

   I asked him if he would be ok with me using it as an "inspiration piece", a "jumping off point" to create a Wednesday project. He said he thought it was a great idea. I assured him that it wasn't to "show him up" or discount his idea or anything like that - he was SO EXCITED about the idea. Here is what I came up with....

Here is some up close detail for ya - of course I had to add a LOT more - Houndstooth embossing folder, 3 tone sponging, black embossing powder, ribbon and more rhinestones!

and here we are - Side by Side!

What do you think????? He is SO EXCITED about this post and is looking forward to reading all the comments. I think it would be fun to do this EVERY month!

COLOR COMBO - Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black

TIP -  Black embossing powder will "step up" almost any project!

Hope you enjoy all of the AMAZING projects that the rest of the team has for you today. These are some special projects, so please let the team know what you think!

 

Hope you have a great day!!!

Stampin' Up! Tag It! Stamp Set. Are you ready for some Inspiration? Day 4

Hi there!

 Oooops! I totally missed Monday! It was a good semi relaxing weekend here - what about yours? Now, my Monday morning things were a little crazy - woke up late, rushed kids off to school, doctor appointments - gotta love those days, right? But today is TUESDAY! MDS download day!

 I hope you are loving the ideas with this set. Don't orget that this set it this year's "Ronald McDonald House" set - which means that a donation goes to the RMHC! Even more reason to have it!

I tried to challenge myself to find ways to use some of the stamps in a different way. For this one. I inked up the little heart in the stethoscope in different colors, punched them out and added them to the centers of the little hexagons. I love being able to tie things in this way.

COLOR COMBO Basic Gray, Daffodil Delight, Raspberry Ripple, Pool Party, and Whisper White

TIP Using your markers to ink up your stamps really allows you to create a lot of different looks.

Stampin' Up! Tag It! Stamp Set. Are you ready for some Inspiration? Day 3

Hi there!

 It's the WEEKEND!!! So grateful that I don't have a busy one scheduled. Just taking care of my patients - hubby had his shoulder 1 week ago yesterday, and my oldest is fighting some swimmer's ear. UGH

Do you like the background? I created it to mimc the look of the middle balloon that the cute little lizard dude is holding. Do you know how? With my Simply Scored diagonal plate! Once I scored the diagonal lines, I rubbed over them with my white craft pad. I also did that with the little flag/banners after I embossed them as well!

COLOR COMBO Tempting Turquoise, Pacific Point, Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant, Pear Pizzazz and Whisper White
