Creative Scrapbooker Magazine ~ Fall 2021

Hi guys!
Have you picked up the current issue of Creative Scrapbooker yet?
Well I'm here to tell you it is a GREAT fall issue.
Lots of scrapbook pages and lots of cards~ and that is where
I come in at, the cards part.

I had two cards published using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and Joy Clair Stamps.
Heck, you might even remember them. Turkeys!!! 
Not sure if these stamps are still available, you would have to check it
out!! But I sure love those Turkeys!

Thanks for letting me gush!!!

Tree Swing by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
Today I'm sharing two cards created with the newly
released Tree Swing by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.

What I loved the most about this stamp is that it is so 
perfect for adding silhouette stamps. I couldn't resist adding them:):)

PanPastels are used to color the image.  The silhouette
Images are from the Boys with Pets and Girls with Pets.
They were perfect for the area around the pond.

PanPastels were used for color on this card also. I used a circle
mask to create the Sun going down behind the mountains. The
silly frogs are from the Lily Pond set.  The sentiment is from the
Once in a Lifetime set. Adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L.

Wolf & Owl by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
Today I'm sharing two cards created with the newly released
Wolf & Owl Stamp by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.

These are pretty simply created and I loved the end
result.  It doesn't always have to be complicated to
get a good looking card. 

I used PanPastels on this one, creating a Sun with a
circle mask. I added the silhouette dog from the Silhouette
Sportsmen set. Stickers are added for the card
sentiment.

This background is a mix of Distress Oxide ink, 

watered down and the paper run through the mixture.
The sentiment is a sticker and that is it!! Easy peasy!!
Nice, right? 
Adhesive used is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Creating with Lavinia Stamps for Topflight Stamps~

Hi guys!
Today is my turn on Topflight Stamps Blog. I will be sharing
cards I created using Lavinia Stamps and my imagination!! 
These stamps are really fun and Topflight has an
awesome selection. If you can dream it, Topflight can help you
create it!!

Both of the cards were created in the same manner just with different stamps.
The cardstock used has a matt (slick) finish to it. It takes the Distress Oxide ink
differently than regular cardstock. Really gave the cards a different look.
As always all the details are on Topflight Stamps Blog.
