Bare Trees with Stream by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
I have another scenery stamp from the NEW release
by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  
I have two different examples of ways to create with the
 stamp.



The first card is created using panpastels as the color. So easy and
looks fabulous too!  
The boat is stamped on the water is
from the Gone Fishn' set. The bird in the tree is from the NEW
set called Branches and Leaves.  The sentiment is from the 
One Line Sentiments/happy any day. 
The bottom card is also using panpastels for the color. I 
added a duck from the Reeds and Ducks set along
with the sentiment from the One Line Sentiments/lucky you.
To put the moon in, mask off with a circle shape and then erase
leaving a white round shape.  I love adding the birds at the
edge of the moon.

Sew Blessed Card with A Jillian Vance Design~

Hi guys!
Creating for A Jillian Vance Design and using
the NEW Ornamental Octagon Stencil along with
the Feathered Friends Die to make an easy and fun
mixed media style card.  


The background is created on a folded flat white cardstock base using
the Ornamental Octogon Stencil and blue tones of  Distress Oxide inks.
The birds are cut using the Feathered Friends Die along with
the word SEW from black carstock.  The flower is cut using the die
from the Classic Candle Die set, a Christmas set.  Works great for this
card.  
The birds are popped up using dimensional adhesive.  The sentiment
is from the Sew Blessed Stamp set.  The flower is added along with 
a heart button from the Antique Sewing Machine Die, for
the center of the flower.

Forest and Mountains by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
Today I'm sharing a stamp from the NEW release by Blue
Knight Rubber Stamps. It is called Forest & Mountains.
The stamp set comes with a beautiful bible verse and
leaves, that can be used on the trees.



The top card is done using panpastels for the sky and the landscape.
Use a circle mask to put the moon in and then add the bird. The bird
is from the Birds ll set. (used on both cards).



I added the jeep and sentiment. Those are from the Daring Adventure 
set
and One Line Sentiment/friends rock.  The jeep was cut using
the Darling Adventure Die set.  



This one is straight stamping on off white cardstock with
Archival Black ink.  It is stamped several times (using a 
platform). 
A piece of vintage dictionary paper is used
as a border for the scenery. The bible verse is added on
off white cardstock and then the edges torn and adhered to
the card front.

A Mixed Media Card using 3D Foam Adhesive by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L~

Hi !!
I have a "You Are Missed" card to share using the 
3D Foam Circles White Mix on the  Scrapbook 
Adhesives by 3L blog
today. 


I have all the details up and I explain my method and
what I was trying to achieve with the products I used.
There is always a reason :):)  It has
something to do with a wax seal embellishment.


I hope you will take a look.  These are really fun to make and the 
adhesive works great with them.

Branches and Leaves by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi, Connie here !!!
This week we are showcasing Branches and Leaves
from the NEW release by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.


Both of these cards are using a background stamp to help 
ground the card (for lack of better terms). No floating
allowed:):)

I'm using the Dictionary Page Background stamp over a mix
of Distress Oxide inks.  The Branches and Leaves stamp is
stamped over that.  I used a stamping platform so I could
re stamp to get a good dark image. The sentiments are
from the One Line Sentiments/blessings. 


This one is using the Bark Background stamp. Love how this
 one came together. 
Color is panpastels. The sentiments are
from the One Line Sentiments/lucky you.

Hi guys!
I am guest designing for A Jillian Vance Design for a
couple more months. So fun!  I have a fun blog post up 
on the A Jillian Vance Design Blog creating with a
NEW cutting die called Anitique Sewing Machine Die.
It is two cards, created two different ways, using the
same products.


I have a tutorial up on the AJVD Blog showing the process
of creating two different looks with the Antique
Sewing Machine Die. 



Check out the TUTORIAL HERE on AJVD Blog.
It is great to find different ways to use products.  It
makes them more valuable to me.

A Shaker Card with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L ~

 Hi guys!!
This is my first post for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
for 2023.  Looking forward to another year of 
creating!


I'm using an old  but goody die by Sizzix to create the shaker
part of the card.  It is called Instant Photo.  Some of you
might remember it.  Works great for the shaker cards.


I have all the details and a step by step tutorial on the
Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog.  I hope you will take a
look and make one.  They are super fun and not hard.  So
get some pretty sequins out and make a shaker card :):)
