Same Stamp/Die Collabo with Jenny, Day 5

Wow! It's been soooo much fun this week stamping and creating with Jenny.  BIG thanks to her for playing along with me and sharing her talent!!  For our final collaborative post, we are both using Penny Black's Creative Die 51-007 Tagged:

Yes, I know it is September, but today I have a Christmas card for ya.
It's never too early; right? :)

I began by stamping the poinsettia from Penny Black's new set 30-193 Winter's Blossoms.  I colored the flowers with Copic Markers and then added stamping and inking around and over the images with VersaMagic Ink and Penny Black 40-113 Inspiring.  I used the tags to embellish the card base and layered Penny Black Creative Die 51-021 Love & Joy for my sentiment.

Thanks for all of your visits this week, my friends! Be sure to pop over to Jenny's blog today to see what she's done with this set of Creative Dies!

Same Stamp/Die Collabo with Jenny, Day 4

Jenny and I are both using one of my favorite Penny Black Creative Dies today... 51-006 Flutters:

I layered a stamped butterfly (Penny Black 30-095 Flower Festival)  over the die cut butterfly on my card:

The circular background was created by layering lots of stamping, Distress Paints, Distress Inks, and Dr. Ph Martin's Hydrus watercolors. To finish things off, I layered the circular piece onto a white panel with a touch of patterned paper (Crate Paper) on each side.  The sentiment is by Penny Black and the banner die cut is from Spellbinders.

Don't forget to flutter on over to Jenny's blog to see what she's done with this same set of Creative Dies!

Same Stamp/Die Collabo with Jenny, Day 3

Today Jenny and I are switching things up and we are both using Penny Black's Creative Die 51-005 Iris:

Here's my take:

I created my watercolor background for my die cut from white cardstock in just a few easy steps.

1. Spritz Inchie Arts white ATC Art Square with water.

2. Paint with three colors of Dr. Ph Martin's Hydrus watercolors.

3. Once dry, "flick" the ATC with drops of watercolor.

4. Adhere die cut and add twine.

I can't wait to see what Jenny's created with this die... check it out HERE!

Same Stamp/Die Collabo with Jenny, Day 2

Today Jenny and I are both using Penny Black's 30-181 Lace Trims:

I stamped and layered one of the lace images multiple times with multiple ink colors to create a background for my leaf.  Once I was done stamping, I applied Distress Ink (Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy) over the stamped piece.

And to create the leaf I inked one of the solid images from Penny Black 30-138 Foliage Fancy with two colors of VersaMagic ink, lightly spritzed with water, and stamped onto white cardstock.  I then fussy cut it and crumpled it up for texture.

Now hop on over to Jenny's neck of the woods to see what she's cooked up with this same stamp!

Same Stamp/Die Collabo with Jenny Martin

This week I'm so excited to be working with the super talented Jenny Martin on a "Same Stamp/Die Collabo!"  Each day this week we will each be sharing our take using the same stamp or die.  Today we are both playing with Penny Black's 40-238 Floral Applique:

Here's my take...

I began by stamping the floral images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloring them with Copic markers. I fussy cut them and layered them (along with leaves cut from Penny Black Creative Die Leaves) using dimensional adhesive.  I created the background by applying gesso through an Our Crafter's Workshop stencil.  Finally, I added a touch of patterned paper (Studio Calico) along the right hand side of the card.

Now be sure to click HERE to visit Jenny's blog to see what she's done with this same stamp set. I'm headed there now myself...

Thanks for popping by--- see ya tomorrow, my friends. 

Ribbons Unlimited: Double Face Satin Ribbon, #2

As promised here's another creation using Ribbons Unlimited double face satin ribbon, this time as a topper for a tag...

I stamped Penny Black Lace Trims in a variety of colors and then added Distress Ink and Palette Ink on top using an ink blending tool.  I used a couple of Penny Black Creative Dies on this project as well- Tagged and Leaves.  The sentiment is from SRM stickers.

Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend!

Ribbons Unlimited: Double Face Satin Ribbon, #1

Seems like I've been using more and more ribbon on my cards lately. I really love this double-face satin ribbon from Ribbons Unlimited.  Here I've added it to a very simple card created by coloring on my stamp (Penny Black) with markers, lightly misting with water and then stamping it several times without reinking in between each impression.  The sentiment is an SRM sticker.

See you on Friday with another creation using this same ribbon. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Art Journaling Boards

Sometimes it's fun to get messy and play with mixed media!  Here I've used Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft art journaling boards to make three pages. I've also used lots of Prima and some Penny Black, too.

The video shows the process from start to finish in creating the page above.

And here's a look at a couple of color and design variations using the same techniques.

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend! 

I'm excited that NFL football has started.  

Now if we can start having some cool, fall weather...
