Stampin' In Alaska

  I'm joining the current challenge at House Mouse and Friends with a plaid birthday card.  My card features an older woodblock House-Mouse Designs stamp called Cupcake Celebrations.

  The current challenge at Art Impressions is Furries & Feathers.  I was a lucky challenge winner and Dog House Cubbies was my choice.  The pups and little open doors are so fun! I started by stamping all of the images onto water color paper.  They were die cut then colored and blended with Tombow markers.  I decided the image size was perfect for a bookmark. I used papers from my stash and Spellbinders Long Classic Rectangle Large die for the bookmark.  A small tab punch and twine finish the project. This will be going to my niece who is an animal lover.  Watch for more fun creations with this set soon!

  Beccy's Place sponsors a monthly Anything Goes challenge with an option.  Beccy also generously provides a free digital image (or more) each month.   I chose to create my card featuring Beccy's pre-colored lily digital image.  You can find the free images and challenge details on Beccy's Place blog . The image was fussy cut and layered onto a stenciled background using Sweet 'n Sassy's Granny Square and Hero Arts Taffy ink.  The sentiment was in my stash.   Beccy's option this month is to use old stash.  The black frame, lace and string of pearls were all in my crafty stash waiting for the perfect project!

  I needed an Anniversary card for my cousin and his wife.  I pulled out this Stampin' Up! set called Feels Like Home from their 2021 Sale-A-bration.   The image was stamped with my Misti then loosely water colored with Altenew pan watercolors.  I finished by splattering green distress ink.  A few sequins and sentiment from Stampin' Up!

  I had fun playing with the current House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge - Flowers.  I've used a "New to Me" stamp from Stampendous House Mouse line called Bumble Bee Fun.  Sadly, Stampendous no longer produces the House Mouse Designs line.  Crossing my fingers that they find a new company soon! The image was colored with Copic Markers, the back ground was water colored then die cut with the "out of the box" technique.  Not a technique I use often but thought it was appropriate for the flying bees. I've used designer paper scraps in my stash from My Mind's Eye Breeze paper pad.

  I'm joining the current Art Impressions challenge with a fun Front-n-Back design.  My card features a couple of retired stamps from the AI Fronts-n-Backs line.  This group of critters always makes me smile! I don't create scene cards very often, but I had so much fun with this design.  Of course, I stamped the AI images and fussy cut them.  The sky designer paper is from Memory Box (old), the tall grass die is also Memory Box.  I added the cloud and sun die from Spellbinders.  I finished the card with a few sequined flowers from Jolee's and inside sentiment from My Favorite Things.

  I'm sharing a fun mixed media tag created with my Gelli Plate.  The vintage friends image is very old unmounted rubber from my stash.  I'm sorry but the company is unknown so I can not give credit. The tag was created with Hero Arts Tag Infinity dies.  A rub-on from my stash and washi tape finish the tag.  The "M" box for the sentiment is a little dark IRL so did not photo well.  :( I would like to share my project with the following: Allsorts Challenge #726 Anything Goes with Optional For the Girls Time Out Challenge #237 Fashionable Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge:  No Pattern Paper We Love to Create Mixed Media Challenge:  #4 Anything Goes

  Sharing a fashionable friendship card for a couple of challenges.  The image is an older digital which was in my stash.  I'm sorry but the company name was not on the image to give credit. The digital image was colored with Copic Markers and die cut.  The base panel was created with acrylic ink on my Gelli Plate.  The sentiment is from My Favorite Things.  A few rhinestones completed the card.
