Windmill Cards with Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing two Windmill cards using the 
Windmill stamps by Blue Knight Stamps. They are adding
two new stamps to the product line, a small and medium Windmill
stamp. They have a large one that is on the
Windmill and Corn set.  

I created different looking cards by coloring one
with panpastels and leaving the second card grey and white, with
a pop of black.

Added to this card is Birds ll, Path to the Barn and One Line Sentiments/
lucky you.  Love the pop of black when adding in the Windmill stamp.

This card is stamped with Archival/Black and Grey and the 
silhouettes are stamped with Versafine/Onyx Black. Also
used is The Pasture, Forest Animals-Raccoon, Silhouette
Forest (cr. leaves) and One Line Sentiments/happy any day.
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Church with Steeple by Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!!
Today I'm sharing a card using Church with Steeple by
Blue Knight Stamps. So sweet!!! 

I added the Bark Background stamp and widen the walk way to give an 
appearance of a stone path. Easy to do.  Just mask off the area and stamp
inside of the masked off area.  Then color.  I used Panpastel/Burnt Sienna
 for this.

I added the silhouette couple from the Choose Wisely set and stamped
them on the stone path. I left the church white and just added in gray 
highlights. The sky is added using the Day/Night Panpastels.
The bird is from the Birds ll set.  The sun is put in using the
Sun/Moon Circles Stencil.

The sentiment is from the Bible Verse 2 set.
Thanks for stopping by!!!

Ivy Wagon Wheel Card with Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing a card using the Ivy Wagon Wheel 
stamp by Blue Knight Stamps.  Another great looking
red rubber stamp.

I have noticed the trend is NOT coloring the focal image, so 
I thought I would try that with this stamp.  I did a messy background
with Distress Oxide inks add the Dictionary Page Background stamp,
in random spots, and then stamped the Ivy Wagon Wheel on the card
front.

I then added in the Silhouette Corner Foliage, to each side,
and really loved how much that added to the look of
the card. The sentiment is from the Silhouette Corner Foliage
stamp also. 
Adhesive used is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Crocheted Flower Magnets with Buttons Galore & More~

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing some Crocheted Flower Magnets using
pretties from the Harvest Monthly Subscription Box by
Buttons Galore & More (affiliate link).

The flowers are crocheted with the BIG button in the center using 
Granny's Button Box. These were given to me and I spruced them up.

The pretties are from the box and were added on the Big button.
You will need strong wet glue or hot glue. I then
added a sticker phrase to each flower magnet.  The
last thing to do is glue the magnet to the back of the BIG button.

The box comes with all the special "Harvest" embellishments that will
be perfect for this kind of Fall Décor!!!

Milk Can and Barn by Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing a card using the NEW (to me)
stamp by Blue Knight Stamps called Milk Can and Barn.
It is a scenery stamp that has open space for silhouette
stamp add ins. 

The scene is colored with panpastels and color pencils. Other stamps
are added to the scene.  I used Forest Animals-Raccoon, Flocks of
Birds, Tractor, One Line Sentiments/lucky you and the Sun/Moon
Circles Stencil. 

This stamp is great for adding in silhouette stamps.  Lots of room
 to pop up a small image, like the tractor. A great stamp to play around with!!

Texas Shaker Clip with Buttons Galore & More~

Hi guys!
Today I'm sharing a Texas Shaker Clip using
pretties from the Fall Monthly Subscription Kit by 
Buttons Galore & More (affiliate link)
called Harvest Kit. 

I assembled the Texas Shaker and painted the front edges, of 
the Texas frame, with acrylic paint. I added paper leaves, sewing
 buttons and novelty buttons from the Harvest Kit.
We just got back from vacation so this was so perfect!! Always
good to get back home.

You can use it as a clip to keep things together, close a bag of chips or
it is great as a book marker. 

A fun and easy project!! The Harvest kit comes with pretties to
make this so fun to create.

The View From My Yard by Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi guys!
Today I'm sharing five cards I created for
Blue Knight Stamps during August.  These are stamps 
from the latest release. 

First up is The View From My Yard.  This is such a clever idea. I
created two different views~ up close and  further away.

The top card is stamped with the fence at the bottom of the cardstock,
like you are standing right there looking over the fence. The second
card is like you are in the yard walking up to the fence. 

I also added in stamps from the following sets: Silhouette Corner
Foliage, Island Reflective, Buck, Doe and Fawn, Birds ll,
Forest Animals-Racoons, One Line Sentiments/blessings and 
Sun/Moon Circles Stencil.  Panpastels are used for color.

On this card I added Forest Animals-Racoon, Silhouette Cattails, 
One Line Sentiments/Did you know..., and the Sun/Moon
Circles Stencil.  Color was added with Panpastels. Two
different views:):)
Adhesive on both cards is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Fall Harvest Pin with Buttons Galore & More~

Hi there!!!
I have been creating with the Harvest Monthly Subscription
Box by Buttons Galore & More.  Love the assortment of fall 
colors represented in the Harvest kit. (affiliate link)
Rich beautiful colors!!

The monthly box is full of Flatbackz, Sprinkletz, Sequinz, Novelty
Buttons and a Button Mason Jar.  Plus you get

 Sunflower Novelty Buttons and an Assorted Fall Embellishments 

in a keepsake container.  Such a fun kit!!

I created a twisted muslin broch by adding vintage trims and findings
along with the buttons from the Harvest Kit.  I added Flatbackz to a
stick pin and then pushed them in the center cluster. Twine was added 
along with stitching to the buttons.

I speckled with black acrylic paint for a distress look.  This looks great
on a denim jacket.

New dies with Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing two new dies, that go with stamps in
the Blue Knight Stamps line. Remember Beach Fences,
well there is a die for the three fences. Also the Rural Mailbox stamp
 has a die for the mailbox and hanging leaves.
So here is my inspiration~

 

I used the Flamingo and Wild Grass as my scene.  I stamped and die cut 
the fences and added them to the card front. I used the two broken down
 fences for this.  They were perfect!

Other Blue Knight products used are: Sun and Moon stamp thru stencil, 
Flock of Birds, One Line Sentiments/happy any day and

panpastels.

This die comes with the leaves and the mailbox. Because of that I spread
the hanging leave across the front of the card.  Easy when you have a die!!
The scene stamp is called Through the Woods.  The sentiment
is One Line Sentiments/friends rock. Also used is Daring Adventure
stamp and die. die.  The card is colored with panpastels.

Thanks for stopping by!!
