Seaside Treasure Hunt

Hello, Friends.  Hope this finds you all well and staying warm.  It has been really cold in my neck of the woods with ice on the ground all week and it is has not been warm enough to thaw any.  Suppose to be getting a good amount of snow for the next couple of days. According to the weather, it will be 40 degrees on Saturday so we will look forward to the heat wave.  :)

Today I will be sharing a couple of cards made with the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps called Seaside Treasure Hunt.

For my first card, I stamped my image on white card stock.    I colored the water with a Copic Marker. The sky was created using the 
Pan Pastel Sunrise and Sunset Pallette.
I used the Wispy Sky technique by Lynn Anderson.
I love this technique.

For this card, I stamped the image and then created the water and the sky using Pan Pastels-Sunrise and Sunset and Day and Night Palettes.

As you can see, blogger hates me.  I am unable to get it to cooperate.  It doesn't matter how many times I try to get the description of the first card to do a left alignment, it does not change.  My print is all suppose to be the same, but it is not.  At least it is not doing the crazy double spacing that it sometimes does.  I keep hoping this will get better, but I am starting to doubt it.  

I appreciate you coming by today to check out my cards.  Have a great week.

Double Trouble -Twins

Hello, Everyone.  I hope you all had a great weekend and are staying well.  It was a cold weekend at my house.  We got an inch of snow last night.  I look forward to  Spring and a lot of nice sunshine to go with it.  I miss being able to sit outside in the gazebo.  It is my way of relaxing.  I am thankful that we are having more daylight hours.  I dislike darkness at 5 P.M..  

Today I am sharing cards using the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps called "Twins".    I have a new neighbor next door that has twin girls so this set made me think of them.  I just had to color them pink in honor of those sweet little gals and for the fact, that I do like pink.  I cut the mats, stamped the image on white card stock and colored it with Copic Markers.  I adhered the layers and then attached them to the card base.  I enjoyed working with the designer paper which is something I like doing when I can work it in.  I do have enough dp to last me two to three life times. 

 For the second card, I did the same thing I did with the first card, but I colored it in blues.  I didn't want to slight the baby boys today.  I did use a dotted embossing folder on one of the mats and I decided to turn it a little.  I added hearts and the sentiment to complete this card.

I certainly appreciate you coming by today to check out my work.  I hope you will come back again, soon.  It is always a pleasure to see you.

Chickadee on a Fence Post

 Hello, Friends.  I have a couple of cards to share with you today using a new stamp from Blue Knight Rubber Stamps called Chickadee on a Fence Post.

For the first card, I cut my mats and stamped my image on white card stock.  I colored the image with Copic Markers and the sky was made using Sunrise & Sunset Pan Pastels.  I adhered my mats to the card base to complete my card.

The second card was made the same as the first, but I chose different colors for the flowers and the sky was made using a Heidi Pettie Cloud Stencil and turquoise ink.

I made a card over the weekend with this set to send out as a sympathy card.  I stamped the fence post on the outside side of the envelope and it looked really pretty.  I wish I had thought to take a picture of it to show you.

Thanks, to all of you who made comments and suggestions to help me with my blog issues.  So far, I do not have a fix, but I can make do with the way it is.  It is so crazy because it sure messes up a lot.  For this blog post, I started out typing my blog and when I went to add the picture of the card, I centered it.  Then when I put in left alignment for the text, it kept centering it when I had chose left alignment.  I had to erase the new text and the picture of the card.  I went back to original text that I had put in and typed my second paragraph and went back and added the card picture in between the paragraphs.  It is unreal that this change in the interface could present so many problems.  

I appreciate you all coming by today and thank you for all the nice comments you leave. Have a wonderful week.

Jungle Friends

 Hi, everyone.  Hope you all had a great weekend.  It wasn't a good weekend weather wise in my little corner of the world.  It was really cold on Saturday and Sunday was rainy and dreary.  I realize it could have been worse, but it would have been nice to see the sun.

Today, I am sharing another new release called Jungle Friends by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.

This was a fairly easy card to make.  I colored the Jungle Friends with Copic Markers.  I used the Heidi Pettie cloud template and turquoise ink for the clouds.  I chose a colorful designer paper and made the mats to adhere to the card base.

For my second card,  I colored the image using Copic Markers   I chose a cute designer paper to make a baby card.  I thought this stamp set was perfect for a baby card, a child's birthday or a bright and cheerful card for a friend.  

Help.  I am still having some problems with this blog.  I don't know if it is me or blogger.  Anytime I want to add a picture, I have to drag it from my files.    I cannot get it to bring up a menu to choose an option to upload from the computer files.  Here is a picture of what it looks like when I click on upload.  As you can see on this picture, there is NO options that come up after I clicked Choose Files.

I, thank you, in advance, for any help you can offer me.  

I am happy to came by for a visit today.  Hope you come back soon.  Have a great week.

Baby Bassinet

Hi Everyone, I am back with a couple of cards from the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps new release-Baby Bassinet.  I have to say, I had fun with this set.  Paper Piecing is one of my favorite techniques so I paper pieced both cards.  I also love patterned paper and I so happen to have enough of it for 2-3 life times.  For those of you who do not like to color, this would be a perfect solution for you with this set.  I love to color, but the paper piecing won when it came to making these cards.  ~smile~

 

I cut the mats and card base for my cards.  I stamped the image on the white card stock and on the patterned paper.    I colored the the wood frame, the bear and the ball with Copic Markers.  I cut the bassinet from the patterned paper and adhered it to the one that I had colored.  

 

Here is the stamp set and the sentiments that come with it.

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

 I am back to share a couple of cards I made using a brand new release by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps called Sunflower Sunshine.  I don't know about you, but I love seeing Sunflowers in the summer especially if there is a whole field of them.  

I stamped my image and sentiment on white card stock.  I colored the the flowers using my Copic Markers.  The sky was sponged using Turquoise ink and a Heidi Pettie Cloud Stencil.  I made the mats and attached to the card base.

The second card was created just like the first one with the exception that I used different colors on the sunflowers which gives it a more bold effect and used different colors for the matting.  This is my favorite of the two.

Thank you, so much, for dropping in today.  I always enjoy your visit and hearing your comments.  Have a good week.

Thanks, to Daffodil Cards for the tip on the blogger issue I was having.  It did not help the last post, but I used the info for this post and it has done very well.  I appreciate the help.

Swan Scene

 Hello and Happy New Year.  Here is my first blog post for the this year.  I am showcasing a brand new stamp set Swan Scene from Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  Be sure and check out ALL the new releases HERE.

For my first card, I stamped the silhouette Swan Scene image on white card stock using Black VersaFine Clair ink.  The ink works very well for Silhouette stamps.  I colored the water using a Copic Marker.  The sky was created using a Heidi Pettie Cloud Stencil and Wilted Violet Distress Ink.  I used silver, black, purple and designer paper to create the mats.

 

On my second card, I stamped the silhouette Swan Scene on card stock using the same black ink.  I used  the Day and Night Soft Pan Pastel Palette to create the water.  I used the Sunrise and Sunset Soft Pan Pastel Palette to create the sky.  I used black and Orange Sherbet Card stock to create the mats.

                               I have no idea what is going on with blogger, I used                     

                               left alignment for the text and it started out that way and                                    

                                changed the alignment for me to have to correct, as well    

                                and now has started double spacing the lines.  Please  

                                excuse look of my blog this week.  I hope it is better next 

                       week.
