PenPattern Pals

 When I made the cards that I'm sharing with you today, I envisioned these being a part of a set.  Same layout, same type of card stock, just different colors.  These were so much fun to create.

Stampendous PenPattern Moose,                    Stampendous PenPattern         Spoonful of Snow                                           Snowman, Spoonful of Snow

Both of these images were colored with Spectrum Noir markers.  For complete supply lists and directions visit the Stampendous website. Moose card and Snowman card.

Hoppin' to It

Hope you've enjoyed the terrific collaboration between Stampendous products and Core'dinations' gorgeous papers! We have been thrilled to bring it to you! Today is the final day!! Of course there are prizes! We'll give away three packs of goodness! The Prize Package includes the Lovely Garden Stamp Set; the Matching Lovely Garden Cutting Dies from Stampendous; a Sand It Kit from Core'dinations which includes a sanding block, replacement sandpaper, and a "must-have" Dust Buddy clean up cloth; Core'dinations will also be sending the lucky winners some of their fantastic 6" X 6" paper pads. PLUS an extra special bonus - our friends at Dreamweaver Stencil will be adding the gorgeous Stone Wall stencil that Jamie Martin used in her terrific card this week (you can see a peek of it on this blog hop banner!)

Speaking of Stampendous and Core'dinations and Dreamweaver, I have a card to share with you today that uses products from all three fabulous companies. 

 

I shared a card a few weeks ago, that used this same stencil & stamp and decided to use that card as my inspiration.  You can find that card here. This time, I ran my Core'dinations Pastel card stock through my Cuttlebug with Dreamweaver Book Cover Stencil and then sanded the embossed area with my Sand-It Gadget.  I love the design that is left behind!  The square in the embossed image is the perfect size for the butterfly in the Stampendous Cling Lovely Garden stamp set.  Cutting out the butterfly is a breeze with the coordinating Lovely Garden Die Cut Set.  The gorgeous silk May Arts ribbon to

tie it all together!

It's not often that I make the same card more than once, but I think I may make a few of these in different color combinations to keep in my stash. When I do make cards to have on hand, I leave the inside blank so I can stamp an appropriate sentiment when it's time to pop the card in the mail. This card would be great for many occasions.

Welcome to another week long collaboration! This week we're playing with Core'dinations' gorgeous papers! There is a huge variety of papers that are perfect for just about every project!  


For my card today, I used the fabulous Tim Holtz Kraft-Core paper and ran it through my Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder and then sanded it with my Sand It Gadget.  This adorable image is Umbrella Nap by Stampendous.  I colored Bumble with my Spectrum Noir markers and sponged the inside of my circle die with Distress Inks.  A bit of May Arts ribbon and my card is done.

So, here's where the fun begins...visit the participating blogs this week and leave comments along the way to be in the running for a great prize package!

Dad's the Man!

Hi!  Thanks for stopping by today!  This week the Stampendous Design Team is celebrating dads.  And, although, my card might make you think otherwise, this is one of the Fathers' Day cards I made this year.  This card is for a single mom I know who is raising two wonderful kids all on her own and who I thought deserved a little recognition on Fathers' Day.

For this card, I inked up this fabulous Stampendous Butterfly Tune stamp twice with Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I used one image as a complete panel and colored just the butterfly on the other one with my Spectrum Noir markers, then I fussy cut it. I bent the wings up a bit and glued the body on top of the butterfly on the main panel to add a little dimension. The sentiment is from the Royal Heart Quotes Perfectly Clear stamp set.  A bit of crystal glitter on the butterfly and a touch of my Sakura Stardust pen on the frame around the sentiment and this card is perfect for my no-frills friend.

Take time this Fathers' Day to remember the moms who, for one reason or another, play both roles in the lives of their children.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Take time to get inky!

Here We Go Again!

All week the Stampendous and Dreamweaver Stencils Design Teams have been collaborating to bring you creative inspiration.  

The card I'm sharing with you today uses the beautifully intricate Book Cover Stencil.  It is gorgeous!  This would be stunning for a wedding or anniversary card.  I chose to use Pearlescent Embossing Paste on white card stock to make the beautiful Stampendous butterfly from the Cling Jumbo Lovely Garden stamp set stand out.  The butterfly was colored with Spectrum Noir markers and I love the way it looks against the pearly background.  Cutting out the butterfly was a snap with the new Lovely Garden Die Cut set.

Stampendous and Dreamweavers

This week Stampendous and Dreamweaver are once again teaming up to show you how stamps and stencils work together beautifully.  The Dreamweaver stencils have such beautiful designs and their embossing paste is so easy to work with.  Together, they make the perfect background for Stampendous stamps!

Today I'm sharing a card that features the gorgeous Stampendous Cling Blossom Beauty Stamp.  The flowers on her head are included with this stamp set and are a breeze to die cut using the Blossom Beauty Die Cut set.  I added a few leaves from the Cling Lovely Garden stamp set and the coordinating Lovely Garden Die Cut Set.  All of the stamped images were stamped with Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with my Spectrum Noir markers.  I'm still practicing my coloring technique, but it sure is fun to practice!  Thanks so much to Crafter's Companion for their generosity!  

For the background, I used the graceful Large Flourish stencil by Dreamweaver.  I applied Pearlescent Embossing Paste on white card stock. Once it was dry, I lightly applied Bundled Sage and Peeled Paint Distress Inks. What a great background!  I'll be reaching for this stencil again and again! And the sheen on this embossing paste is spectacular in person!

 

Thanks for stopping by today, be sure to stop by the Stampendous Blog to see who else has a special project to share with you today.  Stop by again on Friday when I'll have another fun project to share with you!

Take time to get inky today!

Sneak Peek Week

The time has finally come when I can show you some of the new stampy goodness that you'll find in the new Stampendous catalog!  You're going to love this release! 

The card I am sharing today is in the new catalog on page 11.  It's still such a thrill for me to have my cards in the catalog.  I have to pinch myself when I see that my projects share the page with some of my stamping icons.  What an honor!

This card features the new Cling Lovely Garden stamp set.  And here's the really exciting news....Stampendous now offers coordinating die sets for some stamps.  That made making this card a breeze!  The sentiment is from the new Loving Messages clear stamp set.

First I stamped this flower with Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black ink then colored it with my Spectrum Noir markers.  The sentiment was stamped with Tsukineko VersaFine Onyx Black ink.  I like this ink best for sentiments.  A bit of beautiful May Arts ribbon was the perfect finishing touch.

Be sure to keep an eye on the Stampendous website for the new products - they'll be coming soon.  

Well friends, thanks for stopping by today!  I'll share a link to the new Stampendous catalog as soon as it's available - I know you're going to love it!
