Relax….another boat!

Pam Sparks28 Comments

*****

I’ve never been in a sailboat so I don’t know if it’s relaxing or not!  I’ve been in several fishing boats and as long as I have a book… it’s relaxing! hehe

This is a Marianne Design Sailboat die, Classic Boats… if you live close to me… the Craft and Hobby Shop in Ottumwa can get it for you!  Online,  check it out HERE.  I embossed it while the cut piece was still in the die…then turned it over and with the ink blending tool I inked it with Distress inks, Brushed Corduroy and Tumbled Glass.  White Distress Stain and white pen on the tips of the waves and torn water card-stock.

The “sun”  so to speak is a stamp from a clear stamp set that Alice made me buy! OK,  she didn’t make me but when she pointed out the potential I grabbed it quick!  I am so glad she did!  It’s called Time Traveler by Tattered Angels… it’s been a couple years but I keep my stamps!  I might need them someday and sure enough… I’m always glad I have them!  There’s that Fiskars wave border punch again!

Linking up to Stretch My Stamps post by Virginia  HERE.  I just used part of the month/date circle stamp and then I used it for a sun instead of what it was meant for!  I love it!

The little seashell is from CC Designs NEW for Summer Sugarplums Beach kit!  LOVE it!  The word “RELAX” is from a CC Designs NEW for June Oh So Beachy Sentiments set… on the inside it says, “it’s your day!”

I’m going to use this for my swap card this afternoon at stamp club.  Glad Carolyn picked this theme because I needed to use this boat stuff!  So guess what… I’m on a boat kick… a couple more to use!  oh no! hahahahaha

I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest and I’ve been making badges for Tilda’s Town Challenges with the polaroid look… very fun!  Have a sailin’ good weekend!

A Birthday Boat!

Pam Sparks18 Comments

*****

Marianne Design has come out with these fun word dies… I love cutting them and layering them up to look like chipboard.  I did ink the edges with Distress ink and the ink blending tool.

Here’s a link to them and if you go to the next page, you’ll see the new dies for June!  I don’t have them yet but I’m looking forward to having some in my possession soon!

The background Lure stamp is from Judikins… the main boat and dock image is an old PSX stamp.  DAD is an alphabet set that I picked up years ago at Hobby Lobby.  I have a thing about alphabet stamp sets… some people collect figurines… I collect stamps, dies, paper, you name it… lol!  I have a feeling you’re in the same “boat”!  Pun intended!

On the inside I used a belated birthday greeting from a CC Designs AmyR Stamp sentiment set.  Perfect Layers Tools to mat the image… link in the right sidebar.

Bloomin’ … using a stamp-a-ma-jig

Fabulous NEW stamps from Printworks Collection, HERE!  I stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Printworks stamp pads/ink.  Squeeze the lid to pool the ink on the lid making the lid the paint palette.  Pick up the ink with a wet paint brush and color away… the trick for me is… how much water to use! eek!  I need to practice more!

The inside… a wonderful New PW sentiment honoring Mother’s! (I added the flower, its from PW too)

Here’s a 3 min. video on how I masked and positioned the images together….

brrrrrrrriiiing….

Answer the phone, it’s your mother calling!!! I just could NOT resist making this when I thought of it!  LOVE it for a CAS card!  Can you just hear the news waiting to come out of that cord – Curly Q die!  NEW this month!  So FUN!

ok – so nothing spectacular in the way of news but I still love it!   hello and both of the sentiments inside are from the NEW AmyR Stamps Sentiment set, So Wordy!   CUTE!

Here’s another card I made with the Curly Q die, Watering Can Logos and Watering Can die!  I LOVE it!  A little gluing time but so CAS and simply sweet!

The Curly Q die is cut out of dark brown card-stock… glued on… then some pieces I die cut for stems from the Mistletoe die… works great for flowers!  The white flowers are the smallest flower from the Five Point Flower die and the red center is the largest bit 4 from my Japanese Screw Punch.  I did take the stylus to the red circles and rounded them up so they have just the right amount of dimension… Cute!

I die cut three of the watering cans and glued them together to simulate chipboard.  The watering can stamp, sentiment and  heart are part of the Watering Can Logos cling mount rubber stamp set.

oh my,  I’m still not done!   How about a Mother card!  Another CAS creation… I love doing them.  I used the All About Mom Sentiment set and of course!!!  The Curly Q die!!! lol

The Curly Q die is cut and just barely glued on to the white card… I ran the ribbon through the curls and then lightly glued the ends before I trimmed them off with a scissors.  Mother is stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink on a Long Rectangle Nestabilities die cut with the stamp a ma jig.  I left the cut in the die and edged it with my ink blending tool and Printworks Beach House ink pad.

Now,  I’m done for today!  I have one more creation for tomorrow….I’m excited to share it with you too!  So until then!   Happy Stamping/creating to you!
