Small Stamps by Darkroom Door

Hi guys!
Darkroom Door has come out with the cutest small stamps and
I had the good fortune of creating with a couple of them.

First up is Who What Where When stamp.  Great for a party invite
or scrapbooking. 

The background is created using the NEW Small Checkered stencil.
It is really cute!!! So many ways to use it too!!!  I added some Tim Holtz
Paper Dolls to the top of the stamped Who What Where When image.
I used the Alphabet Medley stamps to add the words to the
Who What Where When image. The script word is
from the Birthday Greetings set, also new!!!

Next is the Mark The Date stamp.  It is another stamp that is great for cards
and scrapbook pages.
 

On this one I used the candles, behind the Mark The Date image and added
 the script word Celebrate from the NEW Birthday Greetings set.
The Small Checkered stencil is used as the background. Distress Oxide is the
ink on both cards. The adhesive used on both cards is by 
Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Hope you will check out the new release.

using Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  If you love cute and
Foxes this is a win, win for you.

The first card is stamped on white cardstock with Archival /Jet black

It is then sprinkled with water for a distress look.  Two more flower were
stamped, colored and trimmed out and added to the card front. A checked
border was added using a stencil. The sentiment was added to

complete the card.
The second card a stencil was used in creating the yellow background.
Using a stamp platform, the sentiment and fox were all stamped

Let's Ride by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

 Hi Guys!
I have a fun one from Blue Knight Rubber Stamps 
called Let's Ride.  It will bring back good memories 
for those who drove a Volkswagen Bug. So cozy.....

The first card is created with Panpastels for the sky and coloring
of the scenery (Wetlands).  The Bug is stamped on white cardstock,
colored in with Distress Oxide ink and trimmed out.   The sentiment is
embossed on black cardstock with white embossing powder.
The second card is a repeating stamped image and colored in with  Distress
Oxide inks.  The checked border is a stencil. Add the sentiment, mat the 
card front and the card is completed.  Both cards are adhered with
adhesive by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
