Celebrate ► Use Your Stuff

Hi guys!

It's time for another challenge at our USE YOUR STUFF challenge Blog.

We have a wonderful colour theme for you this time ....

Red - Brown - Gold  

Our teamie  Tina Zerbe Campbell has come up with this awesome idea.

This is my take, I made a Birthday card, you could also use it for any other celebration. I used Rubber Dance Stamps for my main images, the beautiful flowers.

i stamped them on a piece of card stock I had inked with red and yellow distress ink and added some golden shimmer with DecopArt Extreme Sheen.

And some close ups, so you also see the shimmer .....

 

Have a good Week and Happy Crafting ♥

Hi guys, it's time for another challenge at our USE YOUR STUFF Blog!

Since we are empty nesters with no grandkids, I had a bit of a rough time coming up with a creation for the theme. My teamies came up with the idea of books, and tada, here we are, a book mark stamped with Darkroom Door images ...

I stamped the background with the Woodgrain and the Stars from DRD. The clock on the background is a Stampers Anonymous stamp.

Artistic Trading Coins at UYS ♥

Our new Challenge at USE YOUR STUFF!

 I used a Kleenex Box and inked the backside in several colours. After I stamped some images from Viva Las VegaStamps for more texture, I cut them into "Artistic Trading Coins" (Diameter 2.5"). I stamped and heat embossed the flowers and added a little sentiment. All stamps used except for the background ar Darkroom Door Images.

Happy Week and Happy Crafting ♥

Use Vellum on your project

Good morning, Peeps!

Gail over at our challenge blog at UYS has asked us to create a project using a vellum aspect!
