By The Tide Blendabilities

Color Challenge time at Hand Stamped Sentiments. This Saturday I'm doing a little demo table for a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator meeting. I'm showing how to use Blendabilities. Fun!

I thought I'd make my card this week for HSS to use as a display for that event too.

I used the Night of Navy color pack of Blendabilities on the fish. I added some little banners and 2 strips of Hello Honey Ribbon. I embossed the background with the large polka embossing folder and done! Easy masculine card!

Join us this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments!

Eggplant and Gold

It's time to be inspired by Stampin' Celebration! Join us this week!!

I made this simple card with a paper flower using scallop circle punches. Spritz the scallop circle punched paper and crumble up. Uncrumble them and lay out to dry. Once dry layer them and adhere them together. Fluff up and there you go!

Here are the GORGEOUS inspiration photos....

Canvas Mounted Scrapbook Page, Kinda Eclectic

You know those projects you make that you just fall in love with? Well this is one of them for me. The bright colors, the bits of sparkle and my cute family all mounted on to an 8"x10" canvas.

Love it!

I used the Sweet Taffy DSP with Daffodil Delight cardstock for the base. I stamped the starburst image on the Daffodil Delight cardstock with Versamark and then embossed it with clear embossing powder. I made a Melon Mambo spiral flower. Stamped more of the Kinda Eclectic images and cut them out. On the flower I attached strands of ribbon, sequins and bakers twine. Pearls on the butterfly too. I added the tiny punched flowers with pearls and there you have it.

Mounting the page onto the canvas:

BEFORE you add ANY embellishments, use mod podge all over the canvas in a thin layer. Softly press the base of the page onto the canvas. Curl and press the edges on too. Turn the canvas over and flatten and press with your hands to smooth out the page base cardstock.

After it's all dried, then go back and add the embellishments.

Happy Stamping!

Merry Seasonally Scattered

This was a card I made for the Stampin' Up! Convention Display Board. Although it didn't make it on the actual board I just wanted to share it with you. :)

Lots of silver sparkle and white embossed stamp image on Bermuda Bay cardstock.The card front is mounted on Silver Foil Paper with Silver flowers and some rhinestones. I used the negative image to frame the stamped greeting. The cut out is a shape from the Apothecary Accents Framelits.

I sure hope you are following us on our Pinterest Board. Click HERE to view and follow the board.

Legacy Scrapbook Page

A few months ago I made THIS page honoring my Grandma and Grandpa. Now I get to honor my other set of grandparents. And yes, they are all still alive and both marriages are going strong at over 65 years each!! WOW....amazing, right?!

I love this photo of my Grandma and Grandpa....they are so cute!! I used Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant, Basic Black and Very Vanilla. Of course GOLD, too! I used the Doily Stamp....yes...I know it's retired, but this grandma makes doilies and I am so blessed to have them all over my house! She is so talented!! I will be putting this in a frame to hang in my house....although, I'm sure, like the other page I made, my mom will be trying to "borrow" it for her house. ;)

Hop on over and join us at Stampin' Celebration!!

Happy Stamping,

Queen Mary Vintage Birthday

It's time for a color challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments. I wanted to go with a non-Christmas card with these colors. When I was scanning through my stamps this one struck me as the one! It's called "Traveler". It looks like the Queen Mary that's docked out here in Long Beach, California. It's a major tourist attraction. The little pop of Cherry Cobbler was a perfect fit.

Hop on over there to Hand Stamped Sentiments and join us for the fun!!

Happy Stamping,

Kinda Eclectic Vintage Style

I've said it before and I'll say it again....Kinda Eclectic is very versatile. Take this card, for instance, I gave it a real vintage look.

I used Hello Honey and Daffodil Delight for the yellow tones. I stamped the leaves with a fully inked stamped, then stamped it off onto another paper then stamped the image again onto the Very Vanilla cardstock. I did that with both colors to give it the faded look. I stamped the greeting in Basic Gray, and added some Hello Honey ribbon.

I added some Basic Gray cardstock for layering, some banners, gold sequins, 2 other stamped images in the background and there you have it!

HAPPY STAMPING,

KRISTA
