Faith...

Good day and I hope you had a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend! We went out to the St. Clair River last night and watched the American fireworks from my brother and sister-in-law's dock! 

You guys sure know how to put on a show - it was fabulous - we go every year and it only gets better and better! Thank you!

I have a DRS Designs card for you today and I love this sentiment - it is one of my favorites!

I stamped the Faith Greeting sentiment twice, once in Vivid Aqua and once in Memento Rich Cocoa. I cut out the words "Faith" and "is knowing"  and adhered them on top of the sentiment that was cut out with the Spellbinders Labels 4 - one of my favorite dies!

The base of the card is run through the Cuttlebug Swiss Dot folder and the Aqua cardstock trim was cut with the Stamping UP! scalloped punch!

If you are still enjoying your long weekend, I hope it is a hot and happy one!

My Paper Makeup Stamps Sneak Peek Day!

If you must know I was going to entitle this post "My PMS Day" but I just couldn't do it lol!

This is my first day to post about Paper Makeup Stamps and I couldn't be more thrilled with these stamps. They are a high quality, deeply etched rubber, and when you stamp them you just go "ahhhh"!! I love it!

So, this stamp set is called Retail Therapy and some of the Makeup Artists have been given this stamp set to showcase today! This is Day 2 of the peeks, and on the Paper Makeup Stamps blog, they have peeks from the other stamp sets!

I used my Cosmo Cricket Delovely designer paper for this card - I cut out one of the sheets with the Stamping UP! Top Note die and did some zig zag sewing and straight sewing (please don't look too close lol!).

I stamped and coloured my image, and then cut it out and popped it up, along with the cute sentiment which has a bit of added bling (well, of course!!)

Take a shopping spree around to the following Makeup Artists to see the cute things they have been making!

Good Day! 

Did you catch the Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Waltz yesterday?! If not there is still time to enter and win a stamp set! J

Just leave a comment on every designer's blog - don't worry - there are not too many of us -and you are entered to win a stamp set PLUS leave a comment on the Waltzingmouse Stamps blog, and then you are entered to win another stamp set! woohoo!

Today I have a card I made for a twelve year old boy (yikes!) who likes army tanks.......well, I don't have any army tanks but I did have the helicopters from Kim Hughes stamp set Little Guy, so I made a sort of army card.

I used one of the sentiments from Papertrey Ink's Star Prints and then highlighted it in white. Kind of hard to see - I should have maybe just stamped the whole thing in white...what do you think?

The cloud die cuts and felt are also from Papertrey Ink, as is the Kraft Cardstock. The designer paper is some that I have had in my stash for awhile......gotta use up that stash!!

I hope he likes it!

If you are coming here from Lisa's blog you are on the right track! but you should go back to the beginning at Claire's blog so you don't miss a thing! 

Okay on to my creation!

I LOVE the new set called Rescue Remedies - I had created a tag with this set but then the wheels started turning, as occasionally they do, and I started thinking Home Decor - love decorating but can seldom afford what I would like to do.....

My kitchen is painted brick red and I have chosen to decorate it with black accessories.

Well, I recently came across a frame buried deep in my stash, and the backing was just like the back of a peg board.

I really liked the distressed look, complete with all the discolourations, and so I used it for my creation today.

I took the glass off so you could see it without the glare, but I have it up in my kitchen on my side table with the glass on.

For the first tag, I used the Plaid stamp from the Off Beat Backgrounds set, stamped it with Walnut Distress Ink, and cut it out with the largest Labels 4 Spellbinders die. 

Then, using the same ink, I stamped the Rescue Remedies stamp and cut it out with the next in line Labels 4 Spellbinders die. 

I popped up the image onto the plaid background, tied a black bow with a button and twine and added it to finish it off!

I then made two more tags, using the Rescue Remedies stamps with the NEW Victorian Fripperie backgrounder and the polka stamp from Off Beat Backgrounds.

Okay now, from here you go on to Anya's blog and see her fabulous creation!! Have fun!
