Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Sunrise Skies Paper with Iwo Mima Stamp

 Hello Friends,  hope all is well with you today and that you are having a great Monday, so far.  I have been enjoying the nice temperatures, but it is going to be  too cool for me in about a week according to the weather.   Hmmmm.  Guess I will just have to deal with it.  ~smile~

Today I am sharing cards I made with the New Sunrise Skies Designer Paper.  I am loving these.  It sure makes cards look beautiful.  

I chose this piece of the Sunrise Skies paper to showcase the Iwo Jima silhouette stamp and the sentiment is in that stamp set, also.

This sheet of paper is one of my favorites from the Sunrise Skies paper.  I used the Rooftop Silhouette Stamp for it.  I added a sentiment from the Palm Tree Beach to finish off my card.

Have a wonderful week and I hope you come back to see my next set of cards.

Blue Knight Sunrise Designer Papers

 Wow, here is it October, already.  It is hard to believe, but true.  The last few months have really flown by.I hope this month slows down a little. I am certainly not ready for the colder months or should I call them the BRRRRR months?  ~smile~

I am sharing cards that I made using the Blue Knight Rubber Sunrise Skies designer paper.  The papers are all so pretty and they definitely take card making to the next level.  The papers are 6 X 6,  double sided and has 6 designs.

The first card is my favorite, I enjoyed stamping the Wild Flower Garden stamp  on the pink paper from the Sunrise Skies collection.  I colored the flower using Copic Markers.  

On the second card I stamped the Silhouette Rooftop directly to the designer paper and added the sentiment from Palm Tree Beach.

Thanks, so much for joining me.  I hope you liked the cards.

For this card, I started by stamping my Silhouette Wolf image  and the Falling Leaves on white card stock.     I colored the leaves with Copic Markers.  I used the NEW Clouds/Waves stencil and turquoise ink to make my clouds. I stamped the Thank You one line sentiments on a piece of white card stock, cut it out and adhered to my card for the finishing touch.

New Cloud/Wave stencil - Blue Knight Rubber Stamps

 Good Morning, Friends.  I hope you had a great weekend and Monday has started off well for you and continues to be well throughout the day.  I remember how hectic Monday's were when I worked.  It seemed to be a day of problems after having a couple of days off.

Today I am sharing cards I made with the New Cloud/Wave stencil that Blue Knight has recently released.  

I started this card by stamping the Heaven's Gate stamp on white card stock.  I colored it using Copic Markers.  I used the new Cloud/Wave stencil with Tempting Turquoise ink to make the clouds. I stamped the dog from the Girls with Pets stamp set.  I thought this would be a nice pet sympathy card.

I stamped the Ship at Sea image on white card stock.  I used the wave on the Cloud/ Wave Stencil along with Turquoise ink to make the water.  I used the other side of it to brush on the clouds.  I added the sentiment from the Sincere Condolences one line sentiment set.

I hoped you enjoyed seeing the cards using the new stencil.  Have a wonderful week and I will see you again soon.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Beach Stencil Cards

 Hello Friends, here are cards that I make using the newly released Beach Stencil and Stamp Through Set by Blue Knight.  The thick pieces of the stencils are for stenciling and the thin pieces are for Stamping through the stencil.

I used my thick piece of stencil to sponged the brown on white card stock for the sand.  I cleaned the stencil and turned it over to make the clouds using the  new Cloud/Wave Stencil and Turquoise ink.  I continued stamping using the Wedding Couple image and sentiment along with the Silhouette Dogs stamp set.  I love the two dogs.  They look like my standard doodle and my mini doodle.

I did the same thing with the beach stencil on this card using a background paper for it.  I added some clouds in the sky.  I stamped the Flamingo's and Wild Grass, Beach stuff and Bible Verses 2 sentiment on the beach panel to complete this card.

These cards were due almost two weeks ago, but I was running behind due to a death in the family.  It is here now and I am all caught up on everything now.

Thank you, so much for stopping in today.   Have a great weekend.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - You Are

 Good Morning Friends.  Hope you are all doing well on this wonderful Monday.  We are celebrating Labor Day here in the states today.  It means that most have an extra day off from work this week, some are having picnics, attending car shows, etc..  My hubby wants to go to the local car show.  Me-I want to stay home and just breathe.  A lot has been going one here and I prefer to stay home.  I suppose if he really wants to go to the car show,  I will go, too.

Today I am showcasing cards that are made using the new Blue Knight You Are Background stamp.  I used the Wedding Couple on the first card.  On the second card I used the Leaning Guitarist stamp.  That guy loves his guitar and doesn't leave home without it, so I thought the You Are background was perfect with it.  ~Smile~

I stamped the You Are background, with white ink, on a piece of card stock that I had previously used Ken Oliver Color Burst powders on.  I added the Wedding Couple as the main focus.

I stamped the You Are background on white card stock.  I then used my NEW Blue Knight Cloud Stencil to make the colorful clouds.

Thank you, so very much, for stopping in today and taking a look at my cards.  Have a great week.

The first card is made using a winter scene. I stamped the Tall Birch Tree stamp on designer paper.   I made the path snowy and added some bears from the Mama Bear and Friends stamps.  I added a sentiment from the Come Let Us Adore Him set.  

For this card I stamped the image on designer paper and colored it with Copic Markers.   I stamped the sentiment from the Sympathy Set. on white card stock and use a banner die to cut it out.

Thank you, for coming by today and taking a look at my cards.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Farm Pump

 Hello Crafty Friends, it is Monday and time for me to share  cards made with Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Farm Pump.  

I started this card by stamping the Farm Pump stamp  and sentiment directly to a sheet of Pastel Skies designer paper.  I had planned on coloring part of the image with Copics, but once I saw it on this paper, I liked the way it looked and refrained from coloring any of it.  

I stamped the image on a piece of white card stock.   I colored the image with Copic Markers.  I used the Heidi Pettie cloud stencil and tempting turquoise ink to make the clouds.  I stamped the sentiment on a scrap piece of white card stock, cut it out using a banner die and applied clouds on it to finish my card.

I stamped the Family Background stamp on designer paper and then I stamped the Deer By the River stamp over it.   It was quite easy and quick to make plus it made a beautiful card.

I stamped the Family Background on designer paper in my stash, I stamped the Wedding Couple Silhouette stamp over it.  Another easy and beautiful card in a small amount of time.

Today I am going to share some cards that I made using the NEW Blue Knight Bark Background.  

I started this card by using some distress ink and stamping the Bark image on Card stock.  I stamped the Family is Everything, a cute raccoon image, on card stock and fussy cut it to adhere it over the Bark .  The raccoons were colored with Copic Markers.  I stamped the sentiment on white Card stock, used a die to cut it out and added it to my card as the last step before matting and attaching to the card base.

I stamped the background on card stock using distress ink.  I stamped the Mama Bear and Friends stamp over it and added the sentiment to complete this card.

Thanks, so much, for stopping by today.  I hope you liked the cards.  Have a great week.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - New - Snowman Stamp Set

 Good Morning Friends,  I don't know about where you live, but we have sure had some really hot weather the last week or so.  We had two days this week that it cooled down, but yesterday it came back with the extreme heat.  Today is suppose to be really warm, too.

Blue Knight has some really cute NEW Snowman Stamps that I am showcasing on my cards today.  They are really cute and also have matching snowman dies to go with them.  There are four sizes of snowmen in this set plus  the Merry Christmas sentiment.   

I started this card by stamping the Tree and Snowy Field stamp directly to white card stock.  I, then, used the Cloud Stencil and Distress inks to make the sky.  Next I stamped the snowmen on scraps of white card stock and colored them with Copic Markers.  I used the Snowman Dies to cut them out and adhere them to my card.  I took the die for the Merry Christmas and placed it on white card stock.  I left the sentiment in the die and stamped the snowman on it while in the die.  This seems to work out really well for getting it to come out perfect.  

I started out with cutting some snowy designer paper to use for this card.  I used the Merry Christmas sentiment and the snowman family with the dies to cut them out and them colored with Copic markers.

I really like this set and I can see me using it a lot. I love both of these cards and cannot pick a favorite.  

Thank you for stopping in today.  I appreciate you looking at my cards.

 Hello Crafty Friends, I hope you all are having a wonderful Monday, this far, on this new week.  Mine is going okay, I had an appointment out of the area this morning and I just got home.  Happy to be home, that is for sure.  The older I get the more I get the saying, "There is no place like home".

Today I am sharing cards that I made with Blue Knight's newest background stamp called "Be Kind Anyway".

This card was really easy to make.  I stamped the background on my designer paper and then stamped the Real Love image over it.  I thought the stamp was perfect over this background.

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.

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.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Wildflower Garden stamps

 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.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Stamp Through Circle Stencil cards

 Hello, Friends.  Today I am sharing cards that I made with the new Circle Stamp Through Stencil from Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  I like how easy that Blue Knight has made stencil stamping with their two steps to making a beautiful card.

For my first card, I chose to use the Day at the Lake stamp set and added the Eagle and  Foliage stamp to use in the top corner.  The sentiment I used is from the Sympathy set. I used a cloud stencil and turquoise ink to make the clouds.  The water was colored using a Copic marker

For this card  used the Breezy Grass and the sentiment is from the Bible Verses 2 stamp set.  The ink I used is Distress inks.

Blue Knight Feather Stencil Cards

 Hello, Friends.  Today I am sharing a couple of cards that I made with the New Blue Knight  

Feather Stamp Through Stencil Set.  This set makes stenciling easy.  It has a thick stencil to use to put the stencil on your card stock.  It has a thin one to use when you stamp over it.

The first card was made adding the stencil feather to a piece of Blue Knight Day Sky 3 Designer Paper. I used the Silhouette Birds and Grass to stamp through the stencil.  The sentiment is from the Hope Clear stamp set. 

The second card was made by stenciling the Feather over the Misty Moons Paper.  The birds are from the Flying Swans stamp and the sentiment if from the Bird Sayings stamp set.

I hope you enjoyed the cards and that you will come back soon.   Have a great week.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Horse Stencil Cards

 Happy Monday, my friends.  I hope you all are having a great start to a new week.    Yesterday we celebrated Mother's Day.  All of my family was here with the exception of one grandson. We had a wonderful day, but wish he could have been with us to make the day even better.

Today I am sharing cards made with Blue Knight's new Horse Stencil Stamp Through Stencil.  To stencil the horse on the paper, I used the thick part of the stencil and for the stamps, I used the thin piece of the stencil. 

I started the card by using the stencil and ink to brush the horse on a piece of white card stock using distress inks.     I stamped the grass from the Silhouette Grazing Horse across the horse and then added the Silhouette Galloping Horses.  The sentiments are from the Let's Ride stamp set.  

I used Broken China  Distress Ink on the Horse Stencil Stamp Through Stencil.  I used the Wild Grass stamp to stamp over it.  The sentiment is from Bible Verse 2 stamp set.

Blogger is being contrary today.  It decided part of my post should be centered and would not let me change.   When I highlight the words sometimes it lets me use Blue and other Days it will only let them be black.  It definitely drives me crazy trying to correct things when it objects to it.  

I hope you enjoyed the cards today.  Have a wonderful week.
