Stempel Spass

Hi Everybody!   Crackerbox Stamps  has a new release!  There are beautiful flower stamps in it as well as some snark - of course! I went with flowers this time!  Alex, our old design team member who lives in Ukraine, has drawn the flowers. When he had to leave Kyiv, he grabbed his pen and paper. They only had a little time to pack when the soldiers knocked on their door. We will run the new release for a week, and the money from the flowers will go to Alex. But go and check out all the wonderful cards the DT made with those awesome new stamps.   Some of the products I have used have been provided to me from various companies I design for. Affiliate links may be used in the links provided below.  I stamped the cherry blossoms onto water color paper, did a tiny bit of masking where the stamps overlap and colored them with water brush pens.  Stamped the sentiment and heat embossed it. Added it with foam tape. Also added some dew drops and small dots with Crystal Lacquer.  Did you know, th

Hi Everybody!  Funky Fossil Designs came out with a stunning paper pad and a wonderful new stamp set called  Grow Positive . I stamped the leaves and cut them out. I stamped the sentiment and also cut it out. You don't need to be accurate here, just kind of give it a wavy border and it looks just fine. Added the cut outs to a page of patterned paper from the paper pad  Bright Botanicals . I did add some white accents to the paper and added a bit more shading.                          Supplies I used: Grow Positive Bright Botanicals I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting!

  Hi Everyone, I am playing along with  Woodblock Wednesday  from Amy Tsuruta. It's such a good excuse to play with my favorite, neglected wood stamps! For this card I used my treasured Cats on Appletrees stamps and the bean stamp is from 100 Proof Press. I cheated with the sentiment (Funky Fossil Designs). Did not have a wood block stamp for this. But since the majority are woodblock stamps, I think I can get away with it..... Used my Misti to get all the beans at the same height, except the first one, which is ripped out by that beasty boar, LOL! Sponged the ground. Here is a better picture of the back and below you see a picture of the front of my card. As so often it is a simple one layer card.
