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.

Christmas in July

It's Sneak Peek Week!  I can finally share some of the new Stampendous catalog with you!  The card that I'm sharing today appears on the cover of the new catalog - I'm a cover girl!!!  So exciting for me!

This card uses the super gorgeous Cling Delicate Snow set and the sentiment is from the Holiday Words stamp set.  Both images were stamped with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder.  I love the white embossing against the blue card stock!  More information and directions to make this card can be found here.

Stop by the Stampendous blog to find more creative inspiration from the new catalog.  Also, don't forget to check out What's New on the website.

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!

Glory

Hi!  I'm here today with a quick post to share with you.  A friend had asked me if I would make a card for a Confirmation she was attending and this is what a came up with.

  I use the Glory Verse and Celtic Cross stamps by Stampendous.  The papers are from DCWV Linen Mat Stack and the ink is Tsukineko VersaFine Vintage Sepia.  The cross and sentiment circle are lightly inked with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.

Well, that's it for me today.  I hope all is well in your corner of the world.  Take time to get inky today.

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!

Inky Hop

Welcome back! We're on Day 5 of our collaboration with the folks at Imagine Crafts! We're just super excited about these terrific inks and the Radiant Neon just have us feeling all summer time and happy! Combining them with Stampendous Images and terrific Frantage Color Fragments has made some super cheery, bright inspiration for you!! 

I had so much fun creating the card I'm sharing with you today!  This idea popped into my head as soon as I opened the box when they came in the mail.  I first stamped this great Live Creatively stamp by Stampendous with VersaMark ink and heat embossed it with Detail White Embossing Powder. Then came the fun part!

Using a fingertip Sponge Dauber, I applied the brilliant Radiant Neon Inks.  I applied the ink a little heavier toward two corners and lighter as the dots moved closer to the sentiment.  It almost creates a bokeh look.  I kept the card simple to let the inspiring sentiment and vivid inks speak for themselves.
