Snowman by Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!!
Today I will start off August Guest Designing for
Blue Knight Stamps.  I will be sharing stamps from
the latest release.  First up is Snowman.  The Snowman
stamp also has a Die (sold separate).

The cards are created a bit differently by showing the large 
Snowman as the focal and the smaller Snowman to create a background
like pattern paper. Both super fun!!!!

To create this card I stamped the large Snowman on white
cardstock and colored with Panpastels then matted on
black cardstock and set it aside.  The card base was created using
 the Music Sheet BG stamp along with Distress Oxide inks. The
large Snowman panel was then adhered to the background.
I used dimensional adhesive for this. The sentiments are
from Wonderful/One Line sentiments and Reverse Sentiments. 
The stars are from the Mixed Media Numbers set.

On this one stamp the Snowman in random spots or make
a pattern using a light colored ink.  Then stamp the 
Background Branches leaving a space for the coffee cup.
Stamp and die cut the coffee cup and add some color to it.
I used Distress Oxide inks.  Stamp the coffee cup with the
small Snowman and color. Add the sentiments and berries
to the branches.  Also used is Wonderful/One Line Sentiments
under the Merry Christmas sentiment.
All adhesives are by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Silas, Adelynn & Christmas Stamp/Die Cards~ Blue Knight Stamps

Hi there!
I will be Guest Designing with Blue Knight Stamps, for
the month of March, using stamps and coordinating dies
 from the recent release. Today I'm sharing two cards using the 
NEW Silas, Adelynn & Christmas red rubber stamp and die. 
Such a fun one!

Before I started creating the cards I cut out all my elements and then 
stamped them.  I colored both trees with Distressed Oxide inks and
dabbed acrylic paint on the Christmas ornaments.  Wink of Stella
was added for some shimmer.  This was done for both cards.

I used the Pines & Deer set, stamped with black ink and
then attached the decorated tree to the card front. The bird is 
from the Birds ll set and the sentiment is from the
Reverse Sentiments.  The deer was added and then the card
front was speckled with white acrylic paint.

The second card is created using the Mixed Media 2 Designer paper
along with The Pier Stamp.  The pier is colored using panpastels.
The children and tree are colored with Distress Oxide inks.
All images are attached using dimensional adhesive.  The
bird is from the Birds ll set and the sentiment is from the
Reverse Sentiments set.

Sled & Lantern by Blue Knight Stamps ~New!!

Today I'm sharing a beautiful Winter
image called Sled & Lantern by Blue
Knight Stamps. I really loved working with
this one.

The card image is colored with Distress Oxide inks

 mat layer is a tree bark embossing folder (I think
Tim Holtz).  I love the dimension it gives the card front.
To complete the card I added twine and the words from
the NEW One Line Sentiments/wonderful.  Last ~ speckle with

white acrylic paint.

This one is embossed with black embossing powder and the
colored in with Distress Oxide inks (same as above). I
added a pine tree from the Campsite set and the words

Away in a Manger with Blue Knight Rubber Stamps and Black Friday Sale!!

Hi!
My #3 Christmas card for Blue Knight Rubber Stamps is using 
the Away in a Manger set.  Just a reminder for the month of
November the design team will be creating Christmas cards.

I used a circle stencil to mask off the manger after the background
stamp (Matthew 1) was stamped over white cardstock.  Then the 
Away in a manger way stamped over the background and colored
with panpastel and colored pencils. The sentiment is (Love was Born)
stamped and added to the card front.  

Mat the card front on black cardstock and then a folded card
base. The last thing is speckle the card front with
black acrylic paint (use an old  toothbrush). Works really good:).

One Line Sentiments/thank you. by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi!
My second Christmas card for Blue Knight Rubber Stamps is a 
fun one.  I used the One Line Sentiments / Thank You.
Yep, for Christmas!! It worked along side other stamps by
Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.

See what I mean!!!  I ended up using 4 different stamp sets to
create this card.  The background is called Brick Wall by
Darkroom Door.  The Policeman is stamped over the
stenciled Brick Wall.  I used a stamping platform to achieve
this.  The Evergreen Tree is from the Bridge Over
Waterfalls set.  This is also stamped over the Brick Wall
stencil.

The  Santa hat is from the Christmas Koala set.  To make the hat
fit the Policemen's head, trim the corners on both sides of the
hat until it is the right size.  Add the sentiments to the front of the card.
 To complete the card speckle with white acrylic paint.  All adhesives used
are by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Regal Buck with Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi!
For the entire month we, at Blue Knight Rubber Stamps,
will be sharing Christmas cards using some
of our favorite stamps.  Today I'm sharing a card 
created with Regal Buck.

The background was stamped with the 1 John 4 stamp and then the 
Pine Cone Swag is stamped in the corners and edges.  A mask of the 
Regal Buck was used before the background was stamped.  The
Regal Buck was then stamped and colored with panpastels.  The wreath
around the Regal Bucks neck is tricky.  The wreath is stamped with
Archival / Library Green and trimmed out.  To make the wreath go
behind the neck of the Regal Buck you will need to make a on both
sides of the Regal bucks neck with an x-acto knife.  Cut a small "v" at the 
top of the wreath and the wreath will slip right into the slits on the
side of the Regal Bucks neck.  The wreath is from the Lampost
 set.

Mat on black cardstock and then a white folded card base.
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
