Blue Knight Lake Retreat

 Hello, Friends.  Hope those of you in the USA had a wonderful 4th of July.  We had a good one, but it was busy and went way too fast. For those not in the USA, I hope you had a wonderful weekend, too.  Our weekend was really hot.  Wherever you are, I hope you were able to keep cool.

I am sharing cards that I made with the new Blue Knight Stamp set - Lake Retreat.  I enjoy the beautiful scenes that I can pull out my Copic markers and color it any way I want.  


I stamped the Lake Retreat image and sentiment on white card stock and colored it with Copic markers.  I used the Heidi Pettie Cloud Stencil to make the sky along with tempting turquoise ink.  


I stamped the image on white card stock and colored it with Copic markers, I chose different colors for this card.  I used an eclipse  die and liked the way it looked with this image.  It took a little more time to make the card, but it was worth it. 

Thank you, so much, for coming by to take a look at my cards.  Have a wonderful week.

Blue Knight Stamps - Silhouette Flower Garden

 Hello, Friends and Happy Monday, to all of. you.   I don't know about your neighborhood, but it is getting extremely hot in mine.  It is early morning, around 82 degrees and the humidity is terrible.  Thankfully, I can be inside today and hopefully be cool.  I hope everyone's air conditioners keep working.  I know the heat and guys are usually covered up with appointments in this heat.

Today I am going to share a couple of cards that I made using the NEW Blue Knight Silhouette Flower Garden.  This is a perfect set to use with designer paper or using a piece of card stock and making your own scene and sky.  I chose to use designer paper because I have a ton of it in my stash.  I can't resist buying paper with the beautiful skies and the ones that are perfect with most silhouette stamps.  I have a lot of silhouette stamps and Blue Knight makes the best ones with wonderful scenes.  It makes my card making easy and they helps me greatly as I do not have a lot of free time these days.  Enough of my chatting, I am going to show you the cards I made with this stamp.


Both cards were made with Blue Knight Rubber Stamps using the Silhouette Flower Garden stamp and sentiment.  I stamped them directly on the designer paper.  It doesn't get any better than that.  My non stamping friends think I spend a lot of time doing cards like these.  

Thank you, for stopping by today.  Have a great week and for those of those in the areas having heat advisories, try to stay in and keep cool.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - My Country tis of Thee

 Hello Friends, today I am going to share cards that I made with the new My Country Tis of Thee stamp by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.   It works very well with the Flag stamp that is also a new release.



I stamped the My Country Tis of Thee and the Tattered Flag on a piece of card stock.  I cut the frame using a die that I purchased from Your Next Stamp and I think they went out of business.  I stamped the sentiment, from the God Bless America stamp set, in the center of it.  I cut the mats and attached everything to the card base.


For this card I stamped the My Country Tis of Thee  stamp on white card stock.  I cut the title out to place at the top of the card.  I used star dies and cut one out of the navy card stock to place over the card stock that has the My Country Tis of Thee stamped on it. I added another red die, placed a silver heart and a smaller navy heart over it.  I used a hand held heart punch to make all the tiny heart that I randomly placed over the navy piece.  

I hope you enjoyed the cards today.  Come back again soon.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Tree Swing

 Hello and Happy Monday to you.  I hope your Monday is going well, I know on some Monday's, it seems that all goes wrong.  I am hoping this is not the case with you and all is good.  So far, so good, for me.

Today I am sharing cards made with the New Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Tree Swing.   Did any of you have a tree swing when you were growing up?  I can't say that I have seen any lately.  It seem that kids have metal swings sets today.

I started this card by stamping the image and Friends Rock One Line sentiment on white card stock.  I colored it using Copic markers.  I created the clouds by using the Heidi Pettie cloud stencil and tempting turquoise ink.  

On this card I did the same as I did on the first card except I used Distress Ink to create the sky.  I also add a dog from the Silhouette Dogs stamp set.

I appreciate you coming by today to take a look at my cards.  I hope you have a wonderful week.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Tattered Flag - A new release

Hello, stamping friends.  Here it is, another Monday and I have a couple of cards using the new 

Tattered Flag stamps.   This is a two piece set.  I like it because you can make a bright card with it or you can make one with darker paper and make it look primitive.  I like the primitive look, but I chose to use white card stock to use with it because the pictures look better.  It is hard getting good pictures of the primitive ones.  I made primitive ones first and then made two using white card stock to post here.


I used the star stamp and the stripes  to  stamp the images on white card stock that was a little rough, that is why the stars & stripes has an old look to it.   I used the Wood embossing folder on the card stock.  


I did the same things on this card with the exception of using the embossing folder on it.   I added the sentiment from the Thank You Hero stamp set.  


This was my favorite of the cards I previously made giving it a really tattered look by tearing the edges and making the card stock look old & worn.

Thank you, for coming by today.  Have a great week.

 Hello Friends, today I am featuring cards made with the NEW Wildflower Garden Stamps.  I really like how easy they were to make.


On the first card I stamped the Wildflower Garden stamp on white card stock.  I colored the flowers using Copic Markers.  I used my Heidi Pettie Cloud Stencil and  tempting turquoise ink to make the clouds.



For this card I stamped the Wildflower image and the sentiment  on Day Designer Paper by Blue Knight.   I colored the flowers with Copic Markers.
