Whatcha Doin'?

Whatcha doin' this fine Tuesday morning?

I've been busy inking up this cutie-pa-tootie

from Great Impressions Stamps!

Isn't she the sweetest?  

I paired her up with my Sidewalks stash from October Afternoon.

She is fussy cut and plopped into a field of grass.  I zipped around my circle Nestie and my grass die with my Janome Sew Mini.  Perfect machine for sewing on cards and small crafts.

For accents I added a flag to hold up my sentiment and a butterfly grazing in the flowers.

Tied things up with some twine and a button.

Doesn't she make you wish for Spring?

Sigh....it will be a long time coming here I'm afraid.

For now, guess I will have to be content with putting a little Spring in my crafts. (lol!)

Wise owls

Good morning and a happy Monday to you all. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Mine was full of thunder, lightening, and rain.... cold rain!!!! I do not understand what the heck is going on with the weather, but a little steady pace of one temperature would be nice. Not this sunny and rainy back in forth banter of cold and warm. 

Well today I have a short post, but just wanted to share with you a quick and simple masculine card. I do not normally make masculine cards so this was a fun change for me. I really love the colors and the owls are just too adorable. Owls I think were a real big hit last year.

I used the Wise Owl (E644) stamp and the With Age (E647) stamp.

I colored the owls with copics and used my Spellbinder Oval Die, and distressed the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink . I used some My Mind's Eye paper with some chocolate colored cardstock I have. I also used some cream cardstock to stamp the With Age sentiment stamp in Memento black ink and distressed the edges with Walnut Stain distress ink. I cut it like a banner and finished the card off with some jute string and a button.

Are you all ready for some GREAT IMPRESSION challenges???
We are working behind the scenes to hopefully have it up as soon once the store is up and running. Unfortunately, bad weather is has the owner's playing it safe right now. Hopefully they are doing okay as there have been power outages all over due to the bad snow storms.

Hopefully you all love my card. Please stop by tomorrow to see what new project awaits to inspire you!

Free Stickables Storage Solution

Hi everyone,

Hope your having a good weekend. I found a free stamp storage idea that I thought I would pass on.

I have a Sizzix BigKick machine and bought some new plates for it recently. Opened the package this morning and a light bulb went off. The package is the perfect depth to store my Great Impressions Stickable stamps. And it has a hole in the top of the package so I can hang it on my peg board.

Love that's it's free and I can recycle it instead of throwing it out.

Just to let you know...

Happy Saturday and welcome to another 

post of The Queen's creations using 

Great Impression Rubber Stamps...

The Queen used two images to create 

this adorable card ... 

E-589 sentiment and D394 Bird Motif

Spellbinders really make a stamp image

come together to create a very simple

but elegant card... carefully place bling

just add a nice touch...

 The Queen also used DCWV paper stack

Le Tres Chick Matstack, ink around the edges

and carefully color stamp image and you 

too can create a card to give to anyone

who in your thoughts...

Fabulous Friday~Heart Blooming Tree

Welcome back everyone! It's Friday.....finally!!! This week seemed to be a bit long for me.
I was struggling this week with what I wanted to do for my project and I decided to do something I haven't done in AGES!!! Heat embossing! I used to emboss everything and then....I guess I just got tired of it and stopped all together so I pulled out my heat gun and embossing powders and here's the image!!!
It's a fairly simple card this week as well but I did do my own rolled flowers. They are sooo cute especially when they are all glittered up and super quick to make!

Products Used:
Image~Great Impressions Heart Blooming Tree #G402
CS~SU!
DP~American Crafts
Martha Stewart Border punch
SU! Melon Mambo embossing powder

If the Shoe Fits...

If the shoe fits...get one in every color!

And you can with the Lace Background (K97) and embossing powder in your favorite color...

The stamped tag reads:

One pair of

Shoes changed

My life

Cinderella

{Changed My Life (D441) }

This project was so easy to do...cut out your template, stamp and emboss each piece, put it together and decorate (visit my blog for more pictures and details.) All those bits and pieces of ribbon and embellishments you have hoarded hidden ...ahem... saved may just be what you need to make an adorable pair of pretty pumps...and quite affordable, too!

The Rose Intertwined Hearts (G450) would also make a beautiful lace-type pattern...hmmm...and wouldn't the Bird in Roses (F517) make a sweet vintage design?

I think I'm just getting warmed up!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Inky hugs,
Angi

Some Bunny Loves You

Here's a quicky and easy Valentines day card using the adorable Bunny Love stamp and the paper piecing technique.

Shabby Valentine Collage

Yikes!!  My project today is so far out of my comfort zone (lol!)

But boy, did I have a ton of fun putting this together.

I started with the frame, Great Impressions stamp, 

and one sheet of lovely Prima paper and just kept adding. 

Isn't this a wonderful image? - it's called Romantic Collage from Great Impressions.

I stamped it twice on ivory paper, once in Rich Cocoa and once in Distressed Victorian Velvet.   I fussy cut out the entire image in the Rich Cocoa and cut just the framed portion in the Velvet.   My frame is lightly sponged with Glimmer Mist.  All the papers including my doily were sponged around in Antique Linen. The outside edges of my card are painted white, sanded and then sponged.  Love that look!  Then I just played!  Really, you've just got to move things around...

 and around until it works for you...

The shabby chic look is one I love...so glad I challenged myself with it!

Think about what You can do to challenge yourself creatively. 

Let me know about it...love to come and take a peek!

Have a wonderfully crafty day!
