Mix it up, don't be afraid!

Hi there!
I love to take stamps from different companies and create
 with them together.  I love how most of the time
it works out for the best.  

I'm using background stamps and stencils by Sweet 'n Sassy for 
a mixed media tag.  The focal image is by Blue Knight Stamps.
I'm using Distress Oxide inks along with Archival/Jet Black.
Stamp the focal image first and then build the background
around it.  Works for me.  

I'm using One Line Sentiments/wonderful. for the words on the
tag front.  The tag is by Studio Light from Topflight Stamps. 

Here are all three projects using the Sled and Lantern stamp.
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

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 
(watered down) and treated like watercolors. The brown
 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
from the One Line Sentiments/wonderful.

A Shaker Card with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L ~

 Hi guys!!
This is my first post for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
for 2023.  Looking forward to another year of 
creating!

I'm using an old  but goody die by Sizzix to create the shaker
part of the card.  It is called Instant Photo.  Some of you
might remember it.  Works great for the shaker cards.

I have all the details and a step by step tutorial on the
Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog.  I hope you will take a

get some pretty sequins out and make a shaker card :):)

The sentiment is One Line Sentiments/blessings.  The bird is from the
Birds ll set.  The card edges are distressed with white acrylic paint and
then speckle (using an old toothbrush).

Christmas in July with Blue Knight Rubber Stamps: Winter Farmland

 Hi guys!
Christmas in July is still happening
with Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  Today
I'm creating with Winter Farmland.  This stamps makes
a great Christmas card.

The top card is stamped with Archival Jet Black ink and
colored with panpastels.  What makes this card unique is
the rock ledge is masked off so the deer family could be added
to the card.  I used Buck, Doe & Fawn and Christmas
Koala for the silhouette deer and the sentiment. 
The bottom card is clear embossed and then shaded with
Distress Oxide ink/Stormy Sky. Two deer from the 
Buck, Doe & Fawn set were added along with
the sentiment from the Christmas Koala set.  This card
was speckled with white acrylic paint. 
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
