What If? Wednesday with Repeat Impressions



Hello it is time for another What if? Wednesday with Repeat Impressions.  And Wendy has another  great sketch.


Here is the card I created with this fun sketch.


 I used  #302 Holly Santa. Isn't he Jolly?  I can almost hear his Ho Ho Ho.  I embossed the top and bottom panels.  Instead of ribbon like I always use, I used some washsi tape to separate the panels.  For the bottom focal point I created some gifts with some designer paper and twine.  Now be sure to head over to The House That Stamps Built and get all the details of the challenge and don't forget  there is a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate.  Now be sure to check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the RI Rock Stars.

Repeat Impressions Designer's Choice~Giving Thanks

Hello it is time for another Designer's Choice challenge with Repeat Impressions.  This time Deonna's challenge is to create a project with the theme giving thanks, Thanksgiving or a thank you card.  Prefect challenge for this time of year.
Here is the card I created.




I used #915 Wheat Sheaf, #3306 Falling Leaves and #1143 Thank you.  I also tried something new to me, smashing a bottle cap in the Cuttlebug.  I have to say I loved it!  I bought some new bottle caps (I found them at my local health food store in the beer making section). I looked up a how to video on You Tube and started smashing!  It is super simple and it doesn't hurt you machine.  I was a little nervous about that so I used my trusted old Cuttlebug that is a little worn out.  Now I would use  my Grand Calibur without worry.  For the inside I punched a circle of designer paper that I had stamped some of the leaves on and filled the well of the cap with glossy accents.  To finish it off I sprinkled a tiny bit of glitter on top.  Now be sure to head over to The House That Stamps Built and get all the details of the challenges.  I hope you can join us in this challenge for a chance to win some fabulous stamps.  Don't forget to check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the RI Rock Stars.

What If? Wednesday with Repeat Impressions

Hello it is time for another What if? Wednesday with Repeat Impressions.  And Wendy has another  great sketch.
Isn't this a wonderful sketch?  I really enjoyed making this card with this sketch.

 I used #3309 Scarecrow and Friend and sentiment  #1140 Thanksgiving for my card.  the leaves are spellbinders die cuts and I tried cutting a circle of burlap with a Spellbinders die and I loke how it came out.  It  made a fun layer behind the button.   Now be sure to head over to The House That Stamps Built and get all the details of the challenge and don't forget  there is a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate.  Now be sure to check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the RI Rock Stars.

Repeat Impressions Designer's Choice~ Snow Fun!

Hello it time for another Designer's Choice Challenge with Repeat Impressions.  This week it is  Melissa turn and her challegne is  Snow Fun!  I have to say this is a challenge for me.  I love anything snow related. For my card I decided to make it a shaker card.  Shaker cards are prefect for snow themed cards and so fun to make. Here is my card.
I used #3401 Winter Frame and #4603 Got Snow.  I started by stamping it on some white card stock. Next I stamped it on some blue card stock and cut out the center, leaving me with only the frame part of the image.  To allow enough room for the snow(chunky glitter) I used the scrap edges from my foam pop dots. I used a little acetate.  To finish I stamped the image one more time on white card stock.  I cut the entire image out leaving an opening for the snowman to shine through.  Now be sure to head over to The House That Stamps Built and get all the details of the challenges and don't forget to check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the RI Rock Stars.
