Maple Leaf Stencil & Stamp Thru Set by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi all!
Today I'm sharing the Stencil & Stamp Thru set called
 Maple Leaf  by Blue Knight Rubber stamps. This is the last
 one for this month.  Rumor has it, a new release is coming .

Both of these cards are blended using Distress Ink.  I just bleneded
with different color pallets.

I used the thicker stensil on this card and then stamped the
image in the middle. So the thin stencil was not
needed.  I used Silhouette Sportsmen and One Line 
Sentiments/friends rock. 

 This card it was stamped thru on the blended area so the
thin stencil was placed over the blended area (Maple Leaf).  
I used Branches & Leaves and One Line Sentiments /
Sincere Condolences. to complete the card.
Twine was added to both cards.
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Word Labels & Gathered Flowers by Darkroom Door~

Hi all!
I have a cute card set to share using two of the NEW
stamps by Darkroom Door called Word Labels and
Gathered Flowers.  These are smaller cards and
easy to make.

I started with a mixed media, collage type background
I created using the NEW Handwritten Ledger stamps.  
Distress Oxide inks were used for a mix of color.

The cards are about 4x6 and so perfect to add to a gift bag.
Add twine or a strip of fabric to make a fun embellishment
to hang the sentiment from.  I used pear pins on my cards.

Open Circles Background Stamp by Darkroom Door~

Hi all!
Today I'm sharing a card using the NEW Open
Circles Background stamp by Darkroom Door.
Such a great looking stamp!

The background stamp is paired with the Scissors and Crayon stamps

RubberStampMadness Summer Issue 2023 ~

Hi all!
Today I'm sharing the Summer Issue of RubberStampMadness.
The magazine did an article on the One Line Sentiments by
Blue Knight Rubber Stamps designed by me.  The article is written 
by Christina Hecht. She really captured my creative idea in this  
article and I was thrilled to read her expressive words :).

They showcased three cards that I created using the 
One Line Sentiments. One of the things I love the most about 
these sentiment stamps are they are great for mixed media 
types projects as well as card making. They were inspired by
Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.

Instead of using the stamp for single line sentiments I used
it as a background for images.  Meduims used are Panpastels,
Distress Oxide inks, Archival inks and acrylic paint.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will
take a look at the One Line Sentiments over on
the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps site and blog for 
creative ideas.  Also go say hi to
Roberta and Cristina over on RubberStampMadness.
They have a great magazine with lots of
creative ideas for cards or projects.

Momma Bear Stencil & Stamp Thru Set by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi all!
Today I'm sharing the Momma Bear Stencil & Stamp
 Thru set by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  They have come out 
with six different shapes and the Design Team be showcasing
the stencils this month.

Both of the cards are stamped thru using Archival ink, panpastels

and colored pencils. Tip: Once the image is stamped
through the stencil remove the thin stencil and add
the thicker stencil, when you begin to add color to the image.
If you leave the thin stencil on you will get ink all
over the place (ask me how I know:):) 

I added some images for the stamp scene and brought it outside
the stencil image.  This card is using the Campsite and
 One Line Sentiments/friends rock. stamps.

This card is using the Silhoutte Sportsmen and the Forest &
Mountains stamps to compiment the stencil.
Thanks for stopping by and
you can check out the Stamp Thru stencils on the 
website.  All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Hi all!
Today I'm sharing two cards created using the
NEW Handwritten Ledger set by Darkroom Door.
I love it!! It goes so well with the Number Medley set.
Great paired up!

 well with the Handwritten Ledger stamps.  I'm using distress oxides
for color and colored each block for a quilt look.

The Scribble Daisy is stamped, colored and cut out and added
with dimensional adhesive. I used leaves from the Carved Leaves Vol.1
 set  to stamp under the flower.
Other stamps used are: Stitched Borders, Mother's Day Sentiments, 
Father's Day Sentiments and Faded Circles/Abstract.
