Stampin' In Alaska

  I hope everyone has enjoyed a relaxing Memorial Day weekend.  Thank you to all who have served or with family that are in the military.   I'm pulling out an older wood block stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms.  CHF had the licensing for the Elvis Presley stamp series in the 1990's.  Sadly, they are no longer in business.  One of so many family owned stamp companies have closed for personal or business reasons over the years. The image was stamped with Versa Clair Nocturne ink then die cut with Spellbinder Wonky Rectangles.  Panels have been matted with Stampin' Up! Taken with Teal cardstock and embellished with SU blue gems.  The base panel was embossed with a Cuttlebug numbers folder.  A gelli print panel from my stash adds to the 70's vibe.  A birthday tab from MemoryboxCo finishes the card.

  I'm joining the April Anything Goes challenge at STAMPlorations with a mixed media tag.  My tag features Bloom Border #1 by STAMPlorations.  It was stamped onto a gelli print and heat embossed then fussy cut. Shery is having a fantastic Spring Cleaning Blowout sale .  Lots of items are going at great prices! The tag base was created with acrylic paints and an embossing folder on my gelli plate.  Below is a photo of the gelli print used for the Bloom Border stamp.   The tag was finished with black twine, organdy ribbon from my stash, a gem and a Verve leaf die cut from glitter card stock.  I used a sentiment from the Grace So Amazing set from Creative Worship Stamps.

  Good morning!  I'm sneaking in a very last minute entry for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge with a monochrome design. My card started with a gelli print using acrylic paint and a stencil.  I then used a silhouette 2003 woodblock stamp from Penny Black called Irises which was stamped directly onto the panel in VersaClaire black ink.  A few gems and birthday sentiment finish the card.

  I'm sharing a scenic mixed media card for the current challenge at Penny Black Saturday Challenge . The base panel is a gelli print using various textures and acrylic paint.  To be completely honest, this one almost went into the trash!  While searching for a background for the Penny Black Panoramic Cling stamp I came across this print and just knew it was right. I used my Misti stamping platform to align the telephone pole/wire and fencing.  As you can see, the telephone pole/wire stamp is quite large.  I stamped twice with Versafine black to get a good image.

  I'm sharing a mixed media Christmas card featuring the Forest Silhouettes Die set from Creative Worship Stamps (formerly Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps). The card base is a Gelli Print which was created using acrylic paints and a Memory Box snowflake stencil.  The Psalm 23 Background stamp from Creative Worship Stamps was stamped in Majestic Blue Versafine ink then light white paint splatters were applied. I went "old school" creating the snowy base by tearing then inking the edges of white card stock.  The dies were adhered and finished with silver cord and a sentiment from Colorado Craft Company.
