Encouragement Sentiment Stamps with Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!
Today is my last project using the 
wonderful stamps and dies by Blue Knight Stamps.
I'm sharing a card and tag using the Encouragement
set (clear). 


Both of these projects are using the Mixed Media 2 Designer Paper  (purple/mix)  
as my starting place.  The tag is cut out using the Tag Die and then stamped
with Blossoming Branches.  A border is made for the bottom of the tag
from the tops of the small tag (in the die set).  Twine and a button are added plus
a fabric tie for the top. The card is using the same paper (purple/mix) and stamped 
with the Flowers in Grass.  The sentiment is from the Encouragement set and
Reverse Sentiments (Thinking of You). The bird is from the Birds ll set. Twine
is added to the bottom of the card.  All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesive by
3 L. 

Thanks for stopping by!!
Come back for the wrap up ~

Breezy Grass and Tag Die with Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing a couple of tags using the
Breezy Grass Stamp along with the Tag Die by 
Blue Knight Stamps.  


The Tags are die cut from the Mixed Media 2 Designer Paper / Orange mix. 
Isn't it cool the tag background is already done for you. It is ready to go!
 I used reinforcers (inked with black ink) to support the top tag hole.
The Breezy Grass is stamped on the tags.  Each tag the stamp is positioned
differently for a different looking tag. The dragonfly is stamped and
then the tags are speckled with white acrylic paint.

The sentiments are from the Reverse Sentiments set, one of my favorite
stamp sets.  Love the pop of black, brings your eye to the words. All 
adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Camping Stamps & Die with Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing the Camping Set (clear) & Die by
Blue Knight Stamps. Super cute set and so easy to plug
 the camper into a scenery setting.  I'm using the Church with Steeple
background, just masked off the church.  The camper fit in
the space perfect.  I used a black marker to bring the fence
line closer to the camper. 


The sky is put in with panpastels and I used Sun/Moon circle stencil also.
I erased the moon out.  Very easy when using panpastels!

The Camping Die Cut is adhered with dimensional adhesive. The
birds are from the Birds ll set and the relaxing dog from
the Silhouette Dogs set.  So easy to pop into a scene.
The sentiment is from the Camping set and
One Line Sentiments/happy any day.


Thanks for stopping by!
Be sure and come back:):)

Feather Stamps & Die with Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing the Feather Stamp & Die along with
 Bird Saying Stamp & Die.  These two sets are
designed to be use together (or separate), you choose :):)


To start this card I used the Feather Stamps along with the Bird Sayings
(clear set) set to create the card background.  I just stamped in random
spots on Kraft cardstock.  I then die cut three Feathers and colored them
with Distress Oxide ink.  The Feathers were attached to the center
of the card front with dimensional adhesive.  The sentiments are from the
Bird Sayings set and Reverse SentimentsSpeckle with white acrylic
paint.  To complete the card, add twine and a button for a bottom border. 

This is another example using the Feather Stamps with the Bird Sayings Stamps.
Create a background on the Mixed Media 2 Designer Paper using 
black ink.  I added a bird border, to the bottom of the card, using the
Birds on Wire Stamp.  The sentiment is from the Bird Sayings set and
the Reverse Sentiments.  Twine was added to the bottom of the card.
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L.

Thanks for stopping by!!!
More to come~

Church with Steeple Stamp & Die by Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!
This month I will be showcasing projects using stamps
and dies by Blue Knight Stamps. First up is the
Church with Steeple Stamp & Die (yes, they have a die to go with the
Church with Steeple Stamp). 
So Cool!! 


To create this card stamp a portion of the Music Sheet BG on the card front.
No worries if it fades off, even better!  Stamp the church and then use the
die to cut it out.  Color with inks or Panpastels.  Add the BG Branches to the
side and top of the card. I used Versafine/Onyx Black and Versafine Clair/
Shady Lane for the BG Branches.

I added in the Mixed Media Numbers and the Hope Sentiments. Attach the die
cut Church, with dimensional adhesive, and the sentiment "Praying
for You" from the Reverse Sentiment set. Speckle with white acrylic paint
and adhere to black cardstock.
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L.

Wrapping up the Month with Creative Worship~

Hi there!!
Sharing a wrap up of all the projects that were 
created using Creative Worship Stamps & Dies.
I had such a great time creating these and have 
more ideas, so don't be a stranger :):) 


I love creating "outside" the box, so I'm always looking for new ways to
use stamps and dies that are different.  The "mixed media look" really
appeals to me and is really fun!  So hard to mess it up:):) 
Creative Worship offers so many great mixed media type stamps.
Lots of cool background stamps too!!!  I love that they are Faith based
the most.  So many of their products speak to me.  To get a better
look, at these projects, just scroll down to get the details.

I hope you will check them out!!
