Stretching Your Stamps...Day 2

This card was made using some Hero Arts card and envie...I stamped the butterflies first with versamark onto the blue card front, then with a brush I put some perfect pearls on it...I stamped the butterflies with memento black ink and colored them in with distress inks...I adhered the butterflies only in the center and lifted them up a bit so you can see the underneath image...the sentiment is PTI Think big # 3.

Another card for the Stretching Your Stamps Class Day 2

This card was demonstrated by Amber Daigre...four squares stamped with butterflies, she colored hers in with markers, I chose to use Beautiful Butterflies and use the rock n' roll method with two colors for each butterfly...then I distressed the edges with PTI tea duo dies.  I mounted the four pieces of black paper and mounted that on a white one.  All of that went onto a black card...the sentiment was white heat embossed.

I am in need of more 'thank you' cards...so I am working on that!  Thanks for looking!  Hope you have a blessed day!

Stretching your Stamps...more lattice

This time for the lattice background stamp, I heat embossed it with white powder on water color paper, then I used distress inks and a sponge to bring in more color.  The phone and sentiments are from PTI's Heart 2 Heart $5 stamp set and die...The phone is adhered with DOTS...I am wondering why it takes a class to use my stamps in different ways...so far, I am liking the class, we are now into day 3 and I look forward to making some new things!

Stretching Your Stamps...another lattice background card

This time the PTI  tag # 6 was stamped with the lattice background stamp...I used the Paper Smooches 'flower' stamp again but I "kissed" it with a PTI gingham background stamp in Wisteria...now the leaves were stamped in simply chartreuse with the same flower stamp, but I took the lovely layers vein stamp and 'kissed' it to the inked petal and then stamped it...what it did was pull some of the ink away from the areas of the vein...it looks kind of cool...the center is from lovely layers...raspberry fizz and winter wisteria...the two strips at the bottom are washi tape from Michael's.  All of this is adhered onto a kraft cardstock that was embossed with the wood grain plate.

Another card for Stretching Your Stamps Online class

This time I stamped the HA lattice stamp on a piece of clear cardstock cut at 4 x 5 1/4;  on the white background paper I stamped the largest leaves and stem from Turning A New Leaf...then I adhered the clear cardstock with the stamped lattice on TOP of the leaves.  I die cut some Flower fusion #8 and added them on top with some DOTS.  My sentiment is a HA sentiment...since this is a 'lattice' stamp my thinking was that the leafy vine would be growing up the lattice...not sure if I accomplished that but I do like the card..

Stretching Your Stamps Day 1

A new Online Stamping class is up and it is using stamps that you have (or maybe you buy more, because you just can't resist!!!) and using them in a lot of different ways....I don't have a lot of background stamps, so I did buy the Hero Arts Lattice background stamp - I like it!  So first up I stamped it with black staz-on ink onto clear cardstock...then I stamped a Paper Smooches 'flower' stamp and kissed it to the lattice stamp...and made three flowers...even the 'leaves'...so here is my first card:

I have a kraft cardstock inside for the card...
