A Birthday Mouse

Happy Saturday, fellow crafters!  Julie here today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers.  

I have a birthday card to share today, with an adorable mouse, spreading birthday cheer....

This card uses E838 Mouse With Flower and G483 Tags rubber stamp.  I colored the Mouse With Flower with Copic markers.  The Tags rubber stamp is a set of 4 tags.  I cut them apart, using just one of them on this card. 

There'll be a new challenge starting tomorrow  -- come join the fun!

Spring Peeking Puppy

Happy Friday Great Impressions Stamp Friends!

Kendra from Luv 2 Scrap 'n Make Cards here today to share another adorable card with you!!

I love how this card turned out!

For my main image I used the adorable Peeking Puppy (H264)!!

Isn't this puppy adorable?!

Opened up:

I stamped the Flower Bouquet (J110) on the pretty designer paper and then used my Copics to add color to the image.  Just to make it stamp out a little more.

I also stamped one of the butterflies from the Butterflies and Hearts (E563) stamp on the upper part of the same pattern paper, but this time with a similar ink color to the paper, as I wanted the butterfly to kind of blend it!


A close-up look of the cute puppy:

So adorable!!

Happy Mother's Day ...

Good morning! Ruza here to share a Mother's Day card featuring the F440 Spring Tea Cups and B190 Mother's Day Sentiment, available at the Great Impressions Stamps.

I stamped the Spring Tea Cups on Watercolor Paper with Ranger Jet Black Archival Ink then commenced with watercoloring the image with my Marvy LePlume Markers, pallet, paintbrush and water. Once complete, I fussy cut the image out and layered it on the background I created with 3D Foam Tape.

I stamped the Mother's Day Sentiment on the tag, colored in the flowers to match those on the Spring Tea Cups and used my Tiny Attacher to staple the sentiment in place. After adding a bit of Lilac Twine I attached the whole panel to my card base, and then stamped part of the Spring Tea Cups on a coordinating envelope.

That is all for me today. I will be back next week with another project featuring some amazing stamps from Great Impressions! I hope you will check out and play along with this months Great Impressions Challenge. Remember, if you use some Great Impressions stamps make sure you link them up in our Customer Gallery!

Until next week ... Enjoy!

Spring Meadow

Hi, all!  It's time for me to share another creation using some fun rubber stamps from the Great Impressions online store!  Take a peek at my offering today...

I used F496 Meadow Border and A55 Bee to create a fun springtime scene at the bottom of my focal panel.   I colored the images in with glitter gels pens, then added a faux stitched border.

The sentiment is D466 Time for Yourself.  I stamped it, matted it, then added it to the focal panel with dimensional foam.  A few blue glass bubbles were added for a bit more finish.

Teddy Bear Birthday

Happy Friday Great Impressions Stamp Friends!

Kendra from Luv 2 Scrap 'n Make Cards here today to share another adorable card with you!!

For my card today, I decided to use the adorable Bear Floating By (G521) stamp!

Such a cute stamp for a kids birthday card!!

I also used the Just Floating (E648) sentiment, but masked the end of it so the "hi" wouldn't stamp.  Added a few dots behind it and then stamped the Sweet Happy Birthday (B240) under the bear!!

What a fun way to change up the sentiment!!

Good morning! Ruza here to share a Thank you card featuring the F49 Flower Cart and D509 Being You Sentiment, available at the Great Impressions Stamps.

When I saw that the Flower Cart was recently brought out of retirement for a limited time (see top of sidebar) I knew I just had to have this beauty. I paired it up with the Being You Sentiment.

I stamped the Flower Cart on Ranger Watercolor Paper with Ranger Jet Black Archival Ink then commenced with watercoloring the image with my Marvy LePlume Markers, pallet, paintbrush and water. Once complete, I added the Coral Panel behind the colored image, and layered it on the background I created with 3D Foam Tape.

Watering Can

Hello! Leah here. Today I have a card for you using some Great Impressions stamps.

This is such a pretty image and I wanted to used my colored pencils to color it in. I stamped it onto watercolor paper as that gives the colored pencil more tooth to hold on to and I didn't try to blend it out. I think letting the medium shine through in texture is nice too. The image is called( G302) Watering Can and the sentiment is (D500) So Very Special.

Fun Coffee!

Good morning friends! Today I'm sharing a card that I made after finding the papers in my stash...meeee too much paper?  No way!  *wink, wink*

My card today is made with the cute stamp Fun Coffee Cup H278.  As you can see I paper pieced the cup with a complimentary, fun, patterned paper, the whipped cream at the top has clear glaze as well as well as clear star gelly roll pen on it...so cute, wish I could have gotten a better photo for you. I had the perfect twine colors on hand to draw this all together!  I've also used a base of CutCardStock's brown paper bag precut card base which is a great finish to this card!

Well, that is what I have to share today. THANK YOU so much for stopping by! I also would love for you to come and join our monthly challenge! If you use a stamp from the Great Impressions online store, please link it up in our Customer Gallery, too! Until next time, happy stamping, friends! :)

Papers on this card are from Heartfelt Creations.

Happy Dad's Day

Happy Friday Great Impressions Stamp Friends!

Kendra from Luv 2 Scrap 'n Make Cards here today to share another fun card with you!!

I thought I would get a head start on some Father's Day cards!!

I really like the Happy Dad's Day (D389) sentiment from GI!  Something different, then the traditional Happy Father's Day sentiments!  So I decided to focus on that sentiment along with a fun new fish die I recently got!

I started by first stamping the sentiment, then I thought I would use my Distress Crayons to create a light wash that I would then put my die cut fish above.

I used my waterbrush to grab the color from the crayon and then lightly created the wash on my paper.

Here is my finished card:

Before adding the fish, I also added a few ink splatters!

I really like the light wash behind the fish.

Perfect, simple card for a special dad!!

Happy Mother's Day ...

Good morning! Ruza here to share a Mother's Day card featuring the G405 Butterfly Flourish and B190 Happy Mother's Day, available at the Great Impressions Stamps.

The Butterfly Flourish and Happy Mother's Day Sentiment were inked up with Archival Jet Black Ink. Marvy Watercolor Markers were used to color the butterflies and swirls, and the background color. Using a .05 Copic Multi-Liner Black Pen I add the lines 1/4" from the edge on three sides of the panel, added black enamel dots to three of the corners, and used 3D Foam Tape to attach my panel to the cardbase.

That is all for me today. I will be back next week with another project featuring some amazing stamps from Great Impressions!
