Wood Block Wednesday Challenge

 

 Hello Friends

Amy Tsuruta has her Woodblock Wednesday challenge up and running and I've been trying to join in each month as it gives me the opportunity to play with all my old wooden block stamps which don't get the love they deserve since clear stamps came about.

 

 The wood block stamps I've used today are old Stampin' Up stamps.
Crosshatch Background Stamp and the Close As A Memory stamp set.

 I've used old SU Wild Wasabi card stock for my base card and coordinating ink for my image & sentiment accents.  A Tutti Designs ' Stitched Scallop Oval' die was used for the focus panel and Sue Wilson 'Stitched Flags' for the sentiment panel.  Nuvo Crystal drops were used as an accent and the sentiment flag was popped up with dimensional tape.

 

Why not pop over and check out her blog and play along ... you know you have wood block stamps that need some love just like I do!  LOL

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day ahead!!

As always . . .

Today's card is definitely 'out of my comfort zone' but I think it turned out ok just the same.  I'm more of a traditional colors for my Christmas cards but I know my sister will appreciate this design as she prefers these sort of happy colors.

I used a panel of Hobby Lobby snow designer paper for the background then using a sheet from the Scrapbook.com 'Rainbow Plaid' paper, I die cut my trees.

Memory Box 'Simple Evergreen Frame' (#99243) - OLD
Memory Box 'Evergreen Trio' (#99240) - OLD

Can You Handle the Pressure - Twist - Butterflies

  Hello Friends, thanks for stopping by today!

We have a new challenge starting today over on our new Can You Handle The Pressure Challenge Blog and the TWIST theme is ...

Butterflies

Remember, the twist is optional but you MUST use an embossing folder on our projects to qualify for the prize.  Heat embossing is also permitted but only in conjunction with an embossing folder.

 Here's what I've created to inspire you today.  

I have used the Lisa Horton 'Rambling Woodgrain Rose' 3D (5x7) embossing folder.  

 

 

After cutting my A6 panel to size, I ran it through my machine then used a TH purple finger dauber to do my coloring.  From a scrap of deep purple card stock, I punched out butterflies using an old Martha Stewart 3-in-1 butterfly punch.  Viola!

 

I do hope you'll come check out our challenge blog and play along.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
I appreciate it more than you'll ever know!!

As always . . .
