Palm Tree Beach by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
I have a couple of cards to share using the newly released Palm Tree Beach
 by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  This is a really fun stamp and I 

enjoyed creating with it.  The PanPastels are perfect for adding color
to this stamp.

Card #1~
I started with this color pallet ~

Added color and then blended it out with the colorless blender by PanPastel.

I used the Sunrise & Sunset set by PanPastel.  Tags were added with dimensional
 adhesive for that extra pop.  To get the white foam look, on the water, use an
eraser to remove some of the color at the tip of of the water waves.

Card#2 ~

 Products used:
Blue Knight Rubber Stamps: Palm Tree Beach
PanPastel: Sunrise & Sunset 
Other: stencil/Clear Scraps, tags, cardstock

 Would love to see you join us over on the

Tag Class~ Tim Style with Penci!!

I took a class with Penci at Craft Crossing.  We did three tags, Tim Holtz style.   I really am focusing on learning more stamping and ink type technique's.  This year it is back to class, more on-line classes.  I really have my eye on this class by Julie Balzer, Stamp Carving 101.

Who wants to take it with me?

Sounds good, right!!!!

OK here are the tags I made with Penci~

 

 It would take a book for me to tell you how to make these.  It's all in the details~
I'm convinced of that.

Friday I'm up on Clear Scraps~hope you can stop by.

Dictionary Stamping~hand carved stamps.

 Hi guys~This is just a quick share on a couple more dictionary stamped pages.  I used hand carved stamps this time.  The top one is hand carved by Stephanie Ackerman.  It is carved from an eraser from Target out of the $ bin.  Clever girl!!!

This one is by Louise Nelson {my team mate } from Jenni Bowlin Studio.  I love feather's so I was so tickled this one was in last months Mercantile kit and I was able to purchase the kit. 

I so want to take a class on this!! Thinking about this one from Balzer Designs~

Try it Tuesday~Classic Motorcycles by Darkroom Door~

 

 

 

Hi everyone, Connie here with a couple of card ideas using Classic Motorcycles  by Darkroom Door.  This was a fun set to work with.  On these cards I used the 3D-Stempel Farbe by Viva Decor as my background  (sponged on glossy cardstock).  The motorcycles are embossed with black embossing powder on cardstock.   These cards are truly made for a  free spirited gal. 

 

 

I thought I needed to make something for  the guys, so I came up with some very easy gift tags.  These will look great tied on a special beverage or gift.  The trick on these is to stamp the handle bars (of motorcycle stamp) close to the fold.  When you cut out the image leave that part alone.  I stamped these on Kraft cardstock and used brown ink.  

Thanks for stopping by and check out the USA stockist HERE.
