Dollar Find Friday (Faith- cork board)

This week's hostess for DFF is the talented Faith.

****************

This is my week to host, so I hope you all enjoy! I found the corkboard at Dollar Tree. It comes 4 pieces to a package!

To Make this project you will need:
6”x6” piece of thin cork board (Dollar Tree!)
2 pieces 4 ½” x 4 ½” of card stock (I used Mahogany)
2 CONTRASTING pieces 4 ¼” x 4 ¼” piece of designer paper
3 ¼” x 3 ¼” piece of card stock (I used Mahogany)3” x 3” piece of card stock (I used Very Vanilla)
Scraps of the papers
2 Jumbo Eyelets
Crop-a- Dile or LARGE hole punch
Ribbon
Butterfly punch or you could use a stamp (I used a Martha Stewart punch)
White Gel PenBasic
Black ink pad
Sage Shadow ink pad
Embellishements

I stamped the vine in Sage Shadow and stamped it on the 3”x3” Very Vanilla. Next, I stamped the sentiment at the bottom with Basic Black. Layer the pieces and add the jumbo eyelets. Thread the ribbon through the holes and tie in knot. Add embellishments. I used Primas, flower brads and prima leaves.

Have a great day! Happy Stampin’!
Faith

Ways to use plaid...

It's been quite a while since I have done a "Ways to use it" challenge on SCS but today I wanted to stamp! The challenge was to find a way to use plaid. I have never really been a huge plaid fan but I thought that I could find a way to use it with this adorable image from DRS Designs. When I saw this cute snowman collage stamp I knew that I had to have it because it looked like so much fun to color! I used a blender pen and my water color crayons to color the main image and inks with my blender pen to color the mistletoe in the background. I recently "rediscovered" my blender pen. I forgot how handy this thing can be! It makes coloring with inks soooo much easier than with the paintbrush that I have been using.

Here is my card- I need a new camera desperately. The one I have now just does not do cards any justice. IRL, the card is not as dark as it seems in this picture.

Stamps: Stamps- DRS Designs (M258, H883, F1004) Paper- Basic black, always artichoke, barely banana, white. Ink- riding hood red, kiwi kiss, old olive, black stazon. Accessories- blender pen, watercolor crayons, scallop punch, crop o dile, dimensionals, paper piercer and template, white gel pen.

Hi everyone! I have a super busy day today so I probably won't be able to stamp anything until after the girls are in bed tonight. I did want to let you all know that the Card Bins are now back in stock at the There She Goes Store!

Pink trees

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness, all color challenges in October (on SCS) will have the color pink. I think that this is such a great idea and hope that you will all participate in these challenges. The colors for this week were Pink pirouette (or Pretty in pink), basic black and white.

For this card, I sponged the clouds in pink pirouette and then added the pink "grass" (Pretty in pink DP) and stamped the sentiment on top. A then added the trees (the tops of the trees are paper pieced) and birds. The card just wasn't quite finished until I added the pink rhinestones though. I love bling :)

Supplies: Stamps- Branching Out, Here for you (There She Goes). Paper- Black, white, pretty in pink DP. Ink- pretty in pink, pink pirouette, black stazon. Accessories- make up sponge, rhinestones, cloud template, scallop corner punch, white gel pen.

Cathy, email me your info and which card you would like and that will be sent out to you!

**************************

Today is another challenge on the DRS Designs Blog and I couldn't wait to play with the new images that I received last week! (They will be available on the DRS Designs website on Tuesday.) The challenge is to use a sentiment as your focal point on a card/project. DRS has so many great sentiments and the only "challenge" was which one to choose!

Here is my card-

I stamped my Kiwi Kiss background layer with a cute stalking in both KK and Old olive ink. The main image is stamped in KK also. (How awesome is that fireplace?) I colored in the Mistletoe with inks and a blender pen.

Supplies: Stamps- DRS Designs (P419, G975, F1004, B418) Paper- White, riding hood red, old olive, kiwi kiss. Ink- Black stazon, kiwi kiss, old olive, riding hood red. Accessories- stardust gelly roll pen, white gel pen, dimensionals, blender pen.

*********************

When I saw the challenge on Splitcoast to make a "Stair step fold" card, I couldn't wait to give it a try! I love adding layers and dimension to my cards, so this was right up my alley. I used more new images by DRS Designs. I LOVE those cute snowman!
Supplies: Stamps- DRS Designs (P275, H015, G1017, H1129, H1143) Paper- Pacific point, white. Ink- Pacific point, bajabreeze, kiwi kiss, riding hood red, tangerine tango, black stazon. Accessories- blender pen, sticker glue.

A winner and two challenges!
