Stamp with Tammy

Saturday Sketch Challenge #237

What a fun sketch we have for you today over at the Stamping 411 blog!!

I love the simplicity of the sketch--leaves alot of room for embellishments!  Or, if you're like me, it makes it easy to create a clean and simple card!!

I used the Apothecary Art Stamp Set and Labels Collection Framelits.  But this time, no layering!  I just cut out the main image, then sponged the edges!  Colors are Island Indigo and Riding Hood Red!  And, did you see those pearls!!  They are so much bigger than our "regular" pearls!!  So much fun to play with!  The designer paper is Twitterpated again--I have a feeling you're going to be seeing ALOT of this paper--I absolutely love it!  I hope you don't get tired of it!! :-)

As always, you can find the measurements for the sketch on the Stamping 411 Blog.  Even if you don't need the measurements, you'll want to head over there to see the rest of the operator's cards!!  These ladies are "da bomb"!!! 

Have a GREAT day!!

Divas Sketch Challenge #169

Happy New Year's Eve!!  Please be careful tonight if you're out and about!!

Our last sketch for December was a beauty!  Thanks, Adriana, for a great month of sketches!!

This was was so fun--I could think of a million shapes or images to use!  The trick was to get them all lined up!!  I used my wonderful Stamp-a-ma-jig to help me!! (still not perfect though! LOL!)

I started with Pool Party cardstock, and stamped with Early Espresso ink.  The stamp is from the upcoming Sale-a-bration brochure!  (Sale-a-bration starts Jan 24!!).  It's called Fresh Vintage--very cute set!  The sentiment can be found in the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.  I stamped it on pool party, then punched it out with the oval punch.  The scalloped oval is Early Espresso, and I layered that over Early Espresso Quilted ribbon!  Very simple card!!

Please check out the team's creations on the UDI Blog!!

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning!! We have a fun sketch for you today--the last Friday of 2011!!  It's brought to us by my friend, Sharon:

and my card:

I went back to an old favorite, Just Believe, for this card!  It's such a versatile set!  I used my Pool Party and Calypso Coral Stampin' Write Markers to color directly on the rubber of my main image--then, give it a huff and stamp!  I pooled the colors from the Everyday Enchantment Designer Paper--isn't it pretty?!!  And, starting January 24th, you can earn it FREE with a $50 order!! 

As always, please continue on our mini blog hop by hopping over to Tina's blog!  Enjoy your day, and be safe this weekend!!

One Last Fall Card............

Good morning!  I found this card the other day--we made it back in November at my Card Club! 

Isn't this pretty?  I CASE'd this from someone, but can't remmber now!  (so, if this is your card, please let me know!!)  I used Kraft cardstock for my base.  The strips of Spice Cake designer paper were adhered to a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment with Soft Suede ink.  Then, the very vanilla piece was layered onto the Soft Suede cardstock.  I also used the Ruffled Ribbon in Pool Party, and added an Antique Brad!  Very simple card--and you could use this layout with any of our designer papers!

Have a great Sunday!!

Albuquerque Regionals!

We had so much fun yesterday, and learned so much!!!  Not sure how they fit so much into just 4 hours!  I was lucky enough to be chosen as a Workshop Wow presenter, and I showed "masking", but with a twist! I used our window sheets, and punched shapes out.  These were my templates!!  Then, I simply sponged, then masked with post its, then sponged some more!!

This is the card I demonstrated:

You might remember this one from THIS post!  I won't bore you with the details again--just click on the link to check it out!

Here are some of the samples I showed:

I used the Modern Label and Curly Label punches for the border at the bottom.  colors are Real Red and Marina Mist. 

This one was fun!!  I first sponged all the cirlcles (1" circle punch).  Mask these with post it notes.  Now, sponge all the squares (1" square).  Mask these with post its--but, don't remove the circles!!  Now, sponge over all the masks, to fill in!!  Colors are Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz and Concord Crush!

Come back tomorrow for more samples!!!  Please email me at stampinmama@comcast.net if you have any other questions!
