Happy Father's Day Jeep

Vicky here today. But Currie Churchill did the Father's Day card.

She stamped the tires and spark plugs with Distress ink. The background was inked with Distress ink also. Currie colored the brad. I like that the cardstock the image is stamped on is not square, I think it adds interest. Currie also used Distress ink around the edges on the green cardstock with the sentiment.

Stampscapes Buggy Ride

Vicky here today and I wanted to share some more of Stampscapes new stamps.

The barn, fence, stones at left and stone path at the bottom are the new stamps. I added the hill to the right behind the barn. The buggy is from Crackerbox. I colored it with Copic markers.

Here are the stamps I used:

The Soft Hill is one of my favorite stamps

 

 I used this stamp for the trees behind the barn.

Happy Memorial Day

First, thank you to all of the vets for our freedom.

 

 Vicky here today and I hope everyone has a happy and safe Memorial Day.

This is a card I made for my daughter's boyfriend, Matt. He spent 15 months in Iraq. We will be going over to their house for a cookout later today. It's a BYOBM~Bring Your Own Beer & Meat. Here in WI. I do a lot of cookouts while we can. Usually the cookouts are BYOB.

I found this pin in one of my drawers, amazing what I find in there.

This is a custom stamp John made for me for this card for Matt.

If you would like one, just email John at Crackerbox here, or

Some of the new stamps have a small image that are easy to use on ATC's or even on a standard card AND a bigger image. It is really nice to have the two sizes. You can see the new images here.

ATC Stampscape New Barn

Have you heard that Stampscapes has some new stamps?

YUP! and there are some great images to choose from.

I colored this ATC with Copic markers.

I really love Stampscapes, you can do so much with them. It is so easy to use just a part of a stamp (which I will show in a couple of days) so I tell my stampers not to only look at the stamp as one stamp. There are more ideas that I will be sharing later this week.

Stampscapes has bigger images to use in a standard card or larger scene AND smaller images. The smaller images are perfect for ATC but can also be used on standard cards too!

Well, on to this ATC. The barn image is new and you can see them here.

Now, as I was saying, not to take them as one stamp.

The hill behind the barn is actually

361 Snowfield

and you can see it here.

You don't have to use it 4 months out of the year, color it green and it becomes a hill with or without a path. I hope you stop by Stampscapes  to check out the great stamps and Kevin also has done some great videos.

April Showers and Birthday Bird Card

Hello Stamper,

April Showers is the first card I want to share with you.

Here in WI. We have been under a rain cloud for over a week. We should have a lot of beautiful May flowers!

I stamped Girl In Rain on X-Press card stock and colored the image with Copic markers.

I cut out the frame with Spellbinders. I wanted to make it shiny or wet-looking so I cut a piece of acetate in the exact shape of the frame and put it over top. 

I remember the rain boots I had when I was young were really shiny, and the hats were too ( I didn't have a hat ), so I put clear lacquer over the hat and boots. There is a small reflection of the flash on top of the hat.

I used Stickles over the raindrops.

 

  The second card is Birdy Birthday. 

I used our Branch and Bird Standing and colored them with Copic markers.

I cut out the folded frame. I stamped the first saying, Bird Told Me Birthday set of 2. 

The inside of the folded card, is the second stamp from the set.

Thanks for taking a look!

Easter Bunny and Eggs

It is hard for me to believe it is almost Easter. I hope after Easter Spring will come. When I was little Easter was also the time when I could wear white shoes and then had to put them away on Labor day, anyone remember the Summer colors and Winter colors?

I did use Crackerbox Palace stamps. The die cuts are Spellbinders and was colored in with Copic markers. I did use pop dots under the bunny. On the saying, I tacked it down on the top and used a pop dot at the bottom.

I am not sure where I put the Easter grass, I will probably find it after Easter.

But I did have fusible fibers and Copic refils. This fiber was white and I added a couple of drops of Copic markers and mushed it together and the fibers took it. OH good. I found some little eggs in a drawer and added those.

Thanks for stopping by

hugs, Vicky
