Blue Knight - Real Love

Good Morning, Friends.  I hope you all are ready for a new week and for new cards made with Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  Today I have a couple of cards to share with you that I made with the Blue Knight Real Love Stamp.  There are two stamps in this set.  One is the image and the other is the sentiment.

I started this card by stamping the Real Lovei mage and the sentiment on Blue Knight Day Sky 3 designer paper.  The sentiment is from the Hope of the World stamp set.

I stamped the Real Love Image and the sentiment on piece of Night Sky 3 Paper.  This is the sentiment that comes with the stamp.

Both of these cards were not only quick to make, it was really easy.   I am loving the Blue Knight Designer paper.

Thank you, for stopping by today.  It is always good to see you here.  Have a great week.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Day Sky 3 Designer Paper

 Good Morning, Friends,  hope this finds all of you well and starting off your week really good.  It is still really hot at my house and is suppose to last through the week.  I guess it is that time of the year and we will learn to deal with the heat.

Today I am sharing cards made with the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps Day Sky 3 Designer Paper.  I chose to use a Christmas theme with both of my cards.

I stamped the BNRS Mary & Jospeph directly on the Day Sky 3 paper and colored it with Copic Markers. I lightly sponged ink around the edges of the image.  I thought this stamp was perfect to use with this paper.  

I stamped the BKRS Light of the World stamp directly on this piece of Day Sky 3 designer paper.  I stamped the star and added a rhinestone for the finishing touch.

I hope you enjoyed seeing the cards today.  Have a great week.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - New Designer Paper

 Good Monday Morning to all of you reading my blog today.  It is going to be another hot one in Southern Illinois today.  A good day to stay in and craft, not that I really needed an excuse.  LOL

The Blue Knight Team will be sharing cards made with the NEW Day Sky 3 and Night Sky 3 Designer Papers.  I am loving all the Sky designer paper, they are so easy to work with.  I am just not saying that, they truly make beautiful cards and it doesn't take hours to do it either.  For those of you who have not been able to attend a show where Blue Knight is, you would be amazed to see all the beautiful cards on their board.  Many have been done with the designer papers.  I had the opportunity to attend a show on Saturday and I loved seeing all the cards.  Many I had not viewed previously.  It was a fun day.  It is always good to get to chat with the owners, Scott and Lynn.  Lynn does the best make and takes, too.

Here are my cards made with the new Day 3 Designer papers.

These cards were made with the Flying Swans stamp set and the Night Sky 3 designer paper.

This card was made by using the Silhouette Barn Rooftop and  Night Sky 3 Designer Paper.

GREAT week.

Statue of Liberty Stamp.  I stamped the stamp directly over the paper using a stamp positioned.  It generally takes about three times of stamping it to get a good clear stamp.  So thankful, for the invention of the stamp positioners that are readily available to us.  I used the Thank You Hero Sentiment Stamp set.

Once again I chose the Designer Night Sky 3 paper to use on on this card.  The stamp I used was the Iwo Jima Stamp set.The sentiment I used is from the God Bless America Sentiment set.

Blue Knight Sun/Moon, Circles Stencil

 Good Morning, Stamping Friends.  Hope you are having a great Monday, so far.  It is a little chilly here, but I am hoping it warms up this afternoon.  

I am going to share a couple of cards that I made with the NEW Sun/ Moon and Circles Stencil.  I can see lots of uses for these.

I chose a piece of Pattern Paper to start this card.  I stamped the Silhouette Dancing Girls on it.  I then put my circles over the top and and sponged the circles where I wanted them using pink ink.  I wanted it to look like bubbles floating through the air.  

For this card, I stamped the images on the card stock.  I placed the sun/moon mask over the card.  I used distress ink brush color over the grass and sponged the sky.  I took off the mask for the sun/moon and brushed it with ink leaving it a little lighter than the sky.  

I hope you liked my cards.  I am happy you stopped by.  Hope you come back, soon.

Blue Knight Buffalo Stencil

 Hello, Stamping Friends.  I hope this finds everyone well and ready to start a new week.  We are getting some really nice days, in between the rainy ones.  :) I won't complain about the rain because around August we will be wishing we had some.  

Today I am sharing cards I made with the NEW Buffalo Stamp Through Stencil Set that Blue Knight has recently put in their store.  There are lots of other stencils there also.  The stencils come with 2 masks, one thick stencil and one thin stencil.  The Thick stencil is the one you brush color on and the thin one is the one you stamp over.

When I first saw this stencil, I thought to myself, I have got to do this in pink.  Yes, I like pink.  LOL I chose designer paper in my stash and then  I started by using the thick stencil and brushed pink ink over it.  I then removed the thick stencil and put the thin stencil over it.  I used the stamps from the 

Cowgirl and Cowboy stamp set to stamp over the pink buffalo.  I added mats and adhered them to the card base to complete my card.

I basically did the same thing on this card, I just chose different papers and stamps.

I hope you enjoyed your visit with me today.  I am happy you stopped by.  Have a good week.

Blue Knight Hummingbird Stencil

 Hello, hope this finds all of you well and having a good Monday.  I have a couple of cards to share a couple of cards that I made with the Blue Knight NEW Stamp Through Hummingbird Stencil.    The stencil comes with a thick and thin hummingbird.  The thick one is to use for brushing or sponging over the stencil.  The thin stencil is uses when you want to stamp a scene over the top of brushed stencil.

I used pattern paper and stenciled the hummingbird on top of it.  I started by using the thick hummingbird stencil and  brushed green ink over it.  I used a lace stencil from my collection and used white ink to stencil over the hummingbird.  I stamped the sentiment from the Prayer Flower stamp set in the corner.

I placed the thick Hummingbird stencil over pattern paper and brushed black ink over it.  I used a sentiment from Bible Verses 2 to stamp over the top of the hummingbird.

Thank you, for coming by today.  I sincerely hope you have a safe and fun week.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Windmill and Corn

 Hello Friends.  Today I am going to share two cards that I made with the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Windmill and Corn Stamp.  I was really excited when I saw this stamp.  It is definitely a favorite of mine.  It is so easy work with and one could make some cards really fast with this one.

I used the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps Designer Paper Night Sky 2 for this card.  I loved how the corn looked on this beautiful paper so I did not use the windmill.  I did not want to take away from the beauty of the paper.

I stamped the corn and the windmill on white card stock.  I used Catherine Pooler inks to create the back ground alone with the Heidi Pettie Reverse Cloud Stencil.  Another really easy card.

I really appreciate you coming by.  Thanks, for the comments, they really make my day.  I hope you will come back and join for my next post.  Have a fabulous week.

Hello Friends.  Monday has rolled around once again and it is time for me to do my Blue Knight Rubber Stamps post.  Today I am going to show you a couple of cards I made using the  silhouette Forest Animals- Fox Stamps.  This set not only has Foxes,  it has bears and rabbits, too.  There are a total of 8 animals in this set.   I love having stamps that can add to my scenes. 

I stamped my Tree Swing image and colored it using Copic Markers.  I used my Silhouette Forest Animals-Fox and I couldn't resist adding some balloons from the Six Hot Air Balloons stamps.  I used the  Six Hot Balloons dies to cut them out.  I also added a sentiment from the One Line Sentiments-Did You Know.  I used Day & Night Pan Pastels and a Heidi Pettie Reverse Cloud Stencil to make my sky.

This card was pretty easy to make using the Blue Knight Day Sky 2 Designer Paper.  I stamped my Pines and Distant Mountains image directly on the designer paper.  I colored the mountains and the grass with Copic Markers. I added in my fox from the Forest Animals set.  

I hope you enjoyed the cards and that you will join me again next week for another post from Blue Knight. Have a wonderful week.

Blue Knight - Silhouette Dancing Girls

 Hello, Friends.  Monday has rolled around once more and it is time for me to share some cards that I made using the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps-Silhouette Dancing Girls.

This card was started by choosing a piece of Blue Knight Designer Paper Night.  I Stamped my Silhouette Dancing Girls and sentiment directly on the designer paper.  I cut the mats and adhered everything to the card base.  

My second card was started just like the first card, I just chose to use a piece of light pink designer paper for it.  I stamped my dancing girl and sentiment on it.  I adhered all my cards pieces to the card base to finish it up.

It does not get any easier than this.  Both cards were fun to make and did not require a lot of time. 

I am happy you came by to look at my cards.  I hope you will come back soon.  Have a great week.

Paper Cupcakes and Blue Knight

 Hello and Happy Sunday to you.  Hope you all are having a very enjoyable and restful day.  I have been playing at my craft table today and for much of the week.  It has been a while since I worked on random cards.  I have so many images that are stamped and some are colored.  Some has been there for years.  I took some of those images and made them into cards.  

The first two cards are Paper Cupcakes digital stamps. Paper Cupcakes was the first company that I designed for.  I loved the stamps.  Paper Cupcakes closed several years ago.  I decided this week, I was going to use two of their images.  

I made this card for a Splitcoaststampers Challenge this week.  I love turquoise and orange together.

I always loved this image.  I suppose it would have to be for someone going through breast cancer of for someone that has a birthday that has had breast cancer.  I am open to other suggestions of uses for this card.

I had this Blue Knight image (Flowering Vine) already stamped on the designer paper.  I decided to color the flowers and the vines.  The outer layering die cut was laying on my table so I grabbed a stencil to use on it and stamped on a sentiment.  I like the way it came out.  

Thank you, for taking a look at my cards.  I will be back tomorrow for another posting of my weekly Blue Knight Cards.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Forest Animals Raccoons

 Good morning, everyone.  Hope this find you ready to hear about some new stamps, today.  I am using the Silhouette Tree and Eagles stamps today.

I stamped my main image on a piece of Blue Knight Rubber Stamps Day Sky 2 designer paper.              I attached this panel to the mats and card base.  Believe it or not, that is all I had to do to make this 

beautiful card.

This card was made the same as the card above.  The only difference is that I used a piece of designer paper from my stash for this one.

Thanks, so much, for stopping by to look at my cards today.

Beauty Shop Babes

Hello Friends,  Surprise, I am posting another card this week.  I made this cute card for the Featured Stamper challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  I do not play  many challenges there anymore and I always enjoyed it.  This week, I decided to play and I think I have played four this week.  One is not posted yet.

Here is my first card.  The featured stamper was Yo Sam aka Shelly.  Shelly and I were first on line friends when we met on Splitcoaststampers.  It happened that she and her husband  moved within 25 miles of me. Shelly and I got acquainted, we started getting together and making cards.  I stamped off some of her images so I wanted to use one of them to use when casing her card.  She had a card that was a 60's theme. I decided to use this Beauty Shop Babes image.  Her sister is one of the ladies under the hairdryer so I thought it definitely should be the image that I used.  

Today on Splitcoaststampers I made a card for their Sketch Challenge.  I was quite proud of myself for choosing paper from my scraps and using a already colored image that has been in my stash for at least 10 years.  Just guessing on that.  I am posting the sketch  and my card below.  My card is not exact, but you can tell I did use some of the same shapes.

If any of you have never gone to Splitcoaststampers, I want to invite you over.  It really is a lot of fun.  Not only does it encourage you to step out of your comfort zone, you meet a lot of nice ladies that becomes your friends.   If you come over, I am wannabcr8tive, give me a shout and let me know you are there.

Thank you, for stopping by today.  I hope you have a good day.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Forest Animals-Raccoons.

Welcome Back,  Everyone.  Today on my blog I am featuring little Forest Animals-Raccoons from the Forest Animal Stamps.

I started off by stamping the Pines and Distant Mountains stamp set on Blue Knight Day 2 Designer Paper. I am loving the new designer paper.  One can make a lot of gorgeous cards using this pretty paper.I stamped two raccoons on the main panel and that was the finish of my cards.

For this card, I used Dense Forest stamp set with the Raccoons on the main panel.  I applied pan pastels to the background to create the sky. I used a sentiment from the One Line Sentiments Sincere Condolences.

Thank you, once again, for coming by.  Have a good week.
