Iwo Jima

Hi, Stamping Friends.  Today I am back with a couple of cards made with  the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps Iwo Jima.

For the first card, I started by using the Magical Masking Tape Technique.  I  swiped the sticky side of the masking tape across my ink pad and then transferred the ink to my card stock to create the flag background.  I stamped the image over flag.  I really like this technique and had not used it in a while.  

For my second card, I used my Heidi Pettie Cloud Stencil and blue ink to make my sky with the puffy clouds.  I then stamped the Iwo Jima image and the sentiment from the Thank You Hero  stamp set over the clouds to complete my card.

Thank you, for stopping in today.  I always appreciate your visits.

Sea Life

 Hello, Friends.     I hope you all had a great weekend.  I was complaining that it had been a little chilly the last couple of weeks.  We now are having warmer weather and the last couple of days have been a little humid.  I like the heat, but the humidity really gets us in the summer.   

Important - Please read.  I would like to ask you all to go to Bloglovin.com, put in my blog name and and choose to follow me.  With the upcoming changes to Blogger and Feedburner also of July 1st,  there will no longer be emails sent when there is a new post on blogs.   When you do this you will get an email that will notify you when the blogs you have signed up for have new posts.  I have been trying to figure out, like many of you are, what to do.  I thought this might work. until maybe there is something better available.  

I am sharing a couple of cards with you that I made using the Sea Life stamp set by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.

I chose to use a background that I had done some time ago that I created with sprays and added Heidi Swapp Gold Spray over the top of it.  When I saw this turtle image, I thought he would look great with it.    I turtle stamped the image over the top of the background along with a sentiment that was in the Chickadee on a Fence Post set.  I liked the sentiment and then I decided to google how turtles breath.  It was interesting, you might want to read up on it.  :).  I added some rhinestones to make it look like bubbles as the finishing touch.

On my second card, I stamped the turtle, seaweed, etc. on a piece of glossy paper that I had used alcohol ink with.  It gave the look of water and Mr. Turtle appears happy swimming in it. :)  I used Copic Markers to color in the images below the turtle.  

I hope you enjoyed my cards.  Thank you, once again, for coming by for a visit.  I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Perfect Love

 Hello My Crafty Friends,   hope you all had a great weekend.  I know, it went way too far, didn't it?  That just means you had some fun or got a lot accomplished.  

I am sharing cards I made with the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Perfect Love.   I just love the cute little bunny on this stamp.  There are two sentiments that come in this set along with the flowers with bunny.

For the first card, I stamped the image on white card stock and colored it with Copic Markers. I used the Heidi Pettie Cloud Stencil and light blue ink to create the clouds.   I stamped the sentiment using black Marvy ink.  I made mats with purple and a deep pink card stock and then added them to the card base.

My second card was made the same as the first.  I used different colors of  markers on the flowers and I used another sentiment that was in this set. 

Thank you, all, so much, for coming by today to take a look at my cards.  I hoped you liked them.  Have a great week.

Saluting Soldiers

 Hi Everyone, hope all of you mother's had a wonderful day yesterday.  I had a great one.  The day went by way too fast.

Today I am sharing cards I made with the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps Saluting Soldiers.

The first card I used the  Saluting Soldiers Stamps with the Old Glory stamp.  I stamped Old Glory on white card stock and colored it with Copic Markers.  I used Stazon Black Ink to stamp the Saluting soldier over the top of it.  I stamped the Thank You sentiment, which is from the God Bless America sentiment stamp set, on white card stock and then cut it to fit across the flag.  I then cut mats for my card and adhered them to the card base.

The second card was made by stamping  the soldier and the planes on camouflage designer paper using black StazOn Ink.  This was pretty quickly done.  I then did the matting and adhered them to the card base to complete my card.

Once again, I thank each one of you for stopping by, you are very appreciated.  Have a great week.

Love, Joy and Peace

 Hello, Everyone.  Hope this finds you all well and rested from the weekend.  Sometimes weekends are not restful as one tries to get everything caught up that they were not able to do doing the week.  We spent Saturday cleaning the garage.  Today,  after church, we spent some time with family and a dear friend.

I am sharing a couple of cards that I made using the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps-Love, Joy and Peace.     This set is from the new release last month.

For the first card, I stamped  the image on a card front that came from a boxed set from Hobby Lobby.  I cut it down to the size I actually I wanted  and matted it on black card stock.  I colored the leaves and the penguins with Copic Markers.   The rose was creating by stamping the rose on designer paper, I fussy cut it paper pieced on the image.  I made the remaining mats with dotted designer paper and white card stock.  One piece of the card stock was embossed with a dotted embossing folder.  Looks like I was into dots since the rose ended up dotted, too.  ~smile~

For the second card, I decided to make a mini long card.  I stamped the image on white card stock and colored it with my Copic Markers.  I used a cloud template and turquoise ink to create the clouds.    I cut the blue and black mats and adhered them to the white card base.   I thought the animals on this one was  adorable.  

Thank you, for stopping by and have a great week

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps-Fireman

Hello, Friends.  Happy Monday, to you.  I hope this day is the start of a wonderful week for you.  The last few days have been a little cool so I am hoping for some warmer temps, but I am not sure that is going to happen just yet.

I am sharing a couple cards that I made using the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps-Fireman, a new release set.  There are four silhouette stamps that comes in this package.  It is perfect for a firemen friend.

For my first card, I chose a pre-made card front where this beautiful background was already made for me.  There was a white space on the bottom of it and I sponged brown ink in that spot to make the ground for my fireman and fire truck.  The rest was easy peasy. I inked up my stamps with black archival ink and stamped them on the card front.  I added the matting and this card was done in no time, at all.  

My second card was made using some designer paper that I have always liked and it is perfect for a masculine card.  I used black archival ink to stamp my fireman on the grid paper.  I stamped the fire department emblem on the back side of the same paper so it matched the rest of the designer paper. I added a piece of black ribbon and then  I fussy cut it and used foam dots to adhere it to the front of the fireman. I put my card together with the mats that I had cut, added the stars for the finishing touch to this card.

I certainly appreciate you all coming by and viewing my cards.  I will see you again soon.  Have a great week.
