February Woodblock Wednesday

Hi there, I playing along with Amy Tsuruta's for her February Woodblock Wednesday! 

If I were to tell you that I opened up my boxes of woodblock stamps and I got a little lost--lol! I selected a favourite stamp, one of my first stamps, by All Night Media called Browning Poem. I always had some trouble getting a good impression but using Catherine Pooler ink in Twilight it was perfect on the first stamp. Of course I had to make sure it was straight first!

I stamped and fussy cut a Hero Arts woodblock heart called Polka Dot Heart in Catherine Pooler's Rockin' Red. A Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle and some foam tape and the card came together easily!

Thanks so much for stopping in. Hope you join me tomorrow for Scrap N' Stamp Canada's February Inspiration Hop!

Have a great day

Color Hues #57

Hi there friends! Today we start another new color duo at the Color Hues Color Challenge #57! Sage & Coral are the colors this challenge. I was a bit stumped with at what to make for my card this time but somehow this cutie cactus from Concord & 9th made it's way to my table.

Using Catherine Pooler's Sage & Coral Cabana ink pads I created my own cardstock to use with the die cuts. Once they were dry I cut the cactus and the squiggle from the Sage cardstock and cut the pot and the cactus flowers from the Coral Cabana cardstock. I used the slightly darker shades of ink around the edges for a bit of dimension.

 

 

I can't wait to see what you do this challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Color Hues #56

Happy Monday friends! Today we start another new color duo at the Color Hues Color Challenge #56!  So much fun to use these new colours to make a Valentine's card for my sweetie! I used Catherine Pooler's Two Part Hearts for my card today. This has become a favourite stamp of mine. I love the mixture of patterns and they are so easy to line up for both stamping and die cutting.

Hearts were adhered to the card base with foam tape and/or tape runner.

This is such a great colour combination. I used Catherine Pooler Rockin' Red and It's A Girl ink. I love the complete coverage!

Color Hues #55

 Happy New Year my friends!! Can you believe that it's 2023? When I set the date for posting I was shocked when I saw the numbers! Twenty three years ago we were worried that all the computers were going to fail because of Y2K! Now our worries are very different. After three years of the pandemic Covid paid a visit to our house over Christmas, first my daughter, then my husband and then me. Fortunately it wasn't terrible but not something I look forward to ever getting again. 

Today at the Color Hues we are starting a new year of challenges and welcoming three very talented ladies to our Design Team. We begin the year with the Color Hues Color Challenge #55! Don't you just love light pink and gold together. I'm always excited for a chance to do some foiling, I got my FoilPress warmed up and got to work!

I ink blended Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink on to a panel of cardstock and let it dry. Next I hot foil stamped The Greetery's Deco Triangle on to the panel--swoon! I cut the rectangle, also from the Greetery, and then added champagne glasses from Pretty Pink Posh's Happy New Year, and a foiled Perfect sentiment from PinkFresh.

The foiled details are gorgeous!

A closer look!

I can't wait to see what you make using the new colours!

Scrap'n Stamp 12 Days of Christmas - Day 11

Welcome to Day 11 of the 12 Days of Christmas at Scrap'n Stamp Canada! Every day there is new Christmas inspiration and a new sale! Today's deal is 25% off products from Colorado Craft Company!

I used Colorado Craft Company's Santa Bunny stamps and dies for my projects today!

The cute Santa Bunny images were coloured with Copic markers and then die cut with the co-ordinating dies. I die cut 3 extra bunnies from white so that I could stack the bunny up. I've been doing this a lot lately instead of using foam tape.

I blended three shades of Distress Oxide inks for the sky--Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers and Prize Ribbon. Once completely dry I white heat embossed the sentiment on the sky and then I cut a mask for the sentiment from a full back post it mote. The panel was trimmed to 5 1/4" x 4". I put the mask over the sentiment and then applied Nuvo Glimmer Paste through the Lawn Fawn Snowflake Background stencil and set it aside to dry. Santa bunny and the Shhh... sentiment were added and the panel was attached top a white card base.

A closer look...

The second bunny was coloured and cut and then made into a gift tag. I punched a hole into the back of the bunny's hood to add some gold cord to attach it to a gift.

Head over to Scrap'n Stamp Canada to check out the deals!

Thanks so much for stopping in today!

 

Color Hues #54

Hi friend, Happy November! We have a colours for the Color Hues Color Challenge #54! A little twist for December, we are running this challenge for the entire month--you can post up to he 28th!

I started with a panel of navy cardstock and I ink blended Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide ink around the sides and top of my panel. Then I die cut the Simple Church die from Birch Press Designs from cream cardstock and attached it to my blue panel I cut with the largest of the Small Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle dies. The sentiment from the Greetery was gold embossed on the panel which was attached to a white card base. I think the white card base makes the navy and cream really pop.

A closer look...

Since this is typically the busiest time of the year you have a month to play along with this challenge, I would love to see you over at the Color Hues! Head on over to see what my fabulous teammates have made to inspire you!

Color Hues #53

 It's time for a new color duo at the Color Hues Color Challenge #53!

I played with the Concord & 9th Boughs & Holly Stencil set. This holiday card was so much fun to make!

I used Catherine Pooler inks to stencil this wreath in the challenge colours! I used Garden Party, Grass Skirt, Deck the Halls and Rockin' Red.

The sentiment was heat embossed using Wow Metallic Gold Rich embossing powder.

The panel was cut with the largest Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle Stackable dies and it was attached to a white card base with foam tape..

This stencil set was so easy to use and the completed wreath has so much dimension!

Please head over to the Colour Hues to see what my fabulous teammates have made for this challenge!
