Stamp with Tammy

Another Nice and Simple Card!

This one uses the Packed for Dad stamp, and the Spotlight Technique!  Stamp image twice--use one as your main image, then punch a circle out of the second.  Color the circle, then add it to the uncolored image with a dimensional!!  Super simple, and saves you from coloring the entire image!! :-)  The Happy Birthday is from Perfectly Penned, and is stamped in Marina Mist Classic Ink.  Colors used for this card:  Marina Mist, Cajun Craze and Naturals White!

Have a GREAT day!

Pennant Parade Set Sampler!

On the  Stamping 411 blog, the operators take turns posting on Thursdays--just whatever they want to share!!  Today was my first post on "Whatever Thursday"!!  I decided to do a Set Sampler--to show you many ways to use one stamp set!!  Today's set is Pennant Parade!  If you have other sets you'd like to see, please leave me a comment, and I'll give it a try!

This first card shows you a card you might expect from this set:

Yes, it's a birthday card, using the pennant stamp as......pennants!! This is very easy to do with the coordinating Petite Pennants Builder Punch!

Look, you can use this same stamp as a Christmas tree:

Just turn it upside down!! And, I colored in the garland with a Riding Hood Red Stampin' Write Marker.

In keeping with the "upside down" theme, here are some fun ice cream cones:


The ice cream scoops are 1 3/4" circles! I punched a template from a window sheet, then sponged in with Pretty in Pink ink! Wouldn't this make a sweet card for a little girl?!

Now, this card is just wild!!! LOL!!! I used the same stamp from the previous card, and created a back ground!!I started with Not Quite Navy ink, and stamped a row of the pennants. I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to make sure they were somewhat straight! I continued all the way down with the Not Quite Navy pennants, then came back and "filled in" with the Cajun Craze Pennants! Would make a fun card for a special guy's birthday!!

I hope you enjoy the Set Sampler!! We'll see you tomorrow for another great sketch challenge!!

Supplies used:
Happy Birthday Card: White, Pumpkin Pie, Pacific Point and Melon Mambo cardstock and ink; Brights Patterns Stack; Big Shot, Petal Cone Die, White Baker's Twine, Petite Pennant Builder Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals

Sketch Frenzy Friday!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!  It's been such a long week!  My whole family has been sick--of course, not all at the same time!  No, we had to draw it out over the entire week!! LOL!!  The boys are both better now, and I'm almost there, but my hubbie came home from work today feeling awful--so maybe a long weekend, too!! :-)  No fear--when you're stuck in the house with sick kids, there's loads of time to stamp!! 

So, for today's sketch (by me), I went with a Christmas theme!  Here's the sketch:

and, my card:

I used the Pines & Poinsettias Stamp Set from the Holiday Mini!  This set is turning out to be a favorite of mine!  I used my Stampin' Write Markers (Early Espresso, Real Red and Wild Wasabi) and colored right on the rubber.  Then, give it a huff and stamp!!  I punched it out with the 1 3/4" circle punch, than layered that on a 2" circle that I cut with the Big Shot!  The Early Espresso layer is 2 1/4" x 2 1/2", and the wild wasabi scallops behind is actually a scallop oval cut in half!  The real red layer (4" x 5 1/4") was sent through the big shot in the Snowburst Embossing Folder--I added some rustic color by sponging on Early espresso ink with a Stampin' Sponge!  The card base itself is Wild Wasabi (4 1/4" x 11, scored at 5 1/2")  Instead of the sentiment in the sketch, I used a bow!  It's the new quilted ribbon in Early Espresso!  Isnt' it pretty?!!

Please continue on to your next stop on the Sketch Frenzy Blog Hop--the SFF Blog!!!

P.S.  I have some BIG news to share with you--I'm so excited, I'm about to burst!!  So, come back around 4pm for the announcement!!!

TSSC #186

I have a card to share with you for the Techostampers Sketch Challenge!!  And, I'm just in the knick of time!! 

I used my brand new set, Need for Speed!  I have a feeling I'll be using this one alot for all the guys in my family!  It's got this sports car, a four wheeler, a speed boat, and the coolest of all--a fighter jet!  So cool!!!!

I also used some of my new designer paper, Well Worn.  Great paper for masculine cards!!  I got it on the Buy 3, Get 1 Free Special!!  Great deal!  And, look at all those MINI brads!!  They're so tiny, but so shiny!!  (i made a rhyme! lol!!)  The only ink I used is Not Quite Navy!  Other items used are my Big Shot and the Stripes Embossing Folder!!

Here are your measurements:

Not Quite Navy:  4/14" x 11", scored at 5 1/2"

Very Vanilla:  2" x 8 1/2"--I stamped the car three times, then punched out using the 1 1/4" square punch

Cajun Craze:  enough for three punched squares (1 3/8")

Well Worn Designer Paper:  1 1/2" x 4 1/4"

Have a great day!!!
