Hello friends . . .
If you follow my blog you already know that I had a wonderful time last weekend attending the Adventures in Stamping Convention (held here in Akron, OH annually) with a couple of crafting friends and then spent an entire day following just sharing our goodies and crafting the day away.
Friend Laurel purchased this stamp/die set and was kind enough to let Sandy & I stamp/die cut a few for ourselves. It's from the Blue Knight Stamp Company (one of our first stops at convention where we always partake in at least one of her make 'n takes ... we did 2 this year ... I will share those at the bottom of this post ... using Pan Pastels & Blue Knight stamps).
Blue Knight Stamps - Ship on the Sea Stamp Set
You can see one of the cards I made above and one below.
The background papers are also from the Blue Knight Stamp Co. They are fabulous and I think I have most all of them (like I need more paper! lol) AND they are 2-sided. They certainly made for quick & easy cards.
Challenges to share in:
Little Red Wagon Challenge #852 - "M" is for Masculine (ends 4/7) ✓
The Male Room Challenge #209 - Vehicles or Transport (ends 5/5)
The Paper Funday Challenge #86 - ATG Opt Twist - Die Cuts/Punches (ends 4/30)
Here are the two make 'n takes done at AIS convention mentioned above . . .
Pan Pastels are so much fun to work with ... now I just need more hours in my day to play with all the goodies I have available in my crafting cave! LOL
I hope you've enjoyed today's share!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
As always . . .
Your cards are so pretty, always fun to try new things, and how fun you all had time to play together too!

Ohhh, those papers! Especially the first card -- wow! What a great stamp and die set your friend purchased. I like how it cut every detail so closely. I've always been intrigued by Pan Pastels and think they'd be wonderful to work with, but they're not cheap, and where would I put a collection of them? Your last two cards are beautiful examples. What fun you had with your friends!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards. Loving that stamp & die too. Thanks so much for playing along with The Paper Funday Challenges.
