Savored and Treasured ...

Good morning! Ruza here to share a Friendship card featuring the G82 Savored & Treasured Sentiment, available at the Great Impressions Stamps.

Using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink I stamped the Savored & Treasured Sentiment on White cardstock, then layered it onto Black cardstock to create my focal point. Using the same cardstock I created the background, layered it onto my black cardstock, and used 3D Foam Tape to add my sentiment panel. Once this was complete I added the Black Enamel Dots. I also finished the inside of the card with the same background I created for the cover.

This sentiment is absolutely spot on, and I wanted to show it's elegance with a clean and simple design.

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!

Altered Candle ...

Good morning and Happy Wednesday! Ruza here to share another project featuring the awesome Great Impressions Stamps.

Size: 5-1/2" H x 2-13/16" in Diameter

I enjoy Altering Candles with stamped images so I created a candle for my friend to be given with the card I created for last months Challenge.

Details about the above card can be found here.

I stamped the Savored & Treasured (G82) sentiment and the Elegant Butterflies (J119) onto tissue paper, and cut around each image. Using wax paper and my heat gun I adhered the images to my candle.

Once all of the stamps were attaached I applied Petal Pink Liquid Pearls to the antennas of the butterflies and then around the top edge of the candle.

These make amazing gifts and they really are easy to make. There is an awesome Tutorial over at Splitcoaststampers for Stamping on Candles, which includes a video showing you how it's done.

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 our current Great Impressions Challenge, and if you use some Great Impressions stamps make sure you link them up in our Customer Gallery!

Until next week ... Enjoy!
