Flying a Kite - another new release from Blue Knight Rubber Stamps

Hello, Crafty Friends.  Wow, it is Monday, once again, and I have two cards to share with you from Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  This on is called Flying a Kite.  This set comes with the silhouette image and a sentiment which I have used on the first card.  I loved working with  this stamp.  You can make a fabulous scene with added stamp sets or you can stamp it on designer for a quick, but beautiful card.


This was a really easy card to make.  I stamped the silhouette image on this pretty designer paper and it looks like I spent some time water coloring it.  I like when I have paper that makes me look good.  ~grin~.   The paper was from a paper pack I purchased at Hobby Lobby.


For my second card, I decided to make a beach scene.  Oh, what fun it would be to be flying a kite on the beach for a young couple creating wonderful memories.   I used the Forever After Sentiment Stamps.   I stamped my beach image on the card stock and colored it with Copic Markers.  I added a white gel pen to my water to give it the effect of waves.  I used a Heidi Pettie Cloud Stencil to make my clouds along with turquoise ink.  I used a stamp positioner to stamp the silhouette image and sentiment over the top of the beach.  Any easy way to do this is to put a piece of clear card stock over your card, you stamp on it and you can see clearly where your image is going to be and you can make sure your sentiment is straight before you stamp on the card.  I use the clear acrylic packaging from Spellbinders Dies to stamp on.   After I am done with it,  I clean it off  and it is ready to use again or you can pitch it and use another piece for the next time.  I store my dies in thick plastic envelopes so I keep  several of the packages to cut up for my card project protectors.

I am happy you joined me today.    I hope you enjoyed the cards.

Have a fabulous week.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps-Let's Go

 Hi,  Monday rolled around really quick.  The weekend just seemed to fly by.  I had a great weekend and I hope you did the same.  

I am going to share two cards I made using the  Blue Knight Rubber Stamps "Let's Go".    This silhouette stamp set comes with four stamps.  There are two of the boy & girl that are larger stamps and another two that are the same, but are made into smaller stamps to give you options of how you want to use them. 


I started out using an image called Path to the Barn.  I had this image laying on my craft table and it was already stamped and colored with Copic Markers.  I decided that the little boy from the Let's Go set would work perfectly if I stamped it in front of the path.  I used Ranger Archival ink to stamp my silhouette image.


This card was super easy to make.  I know the background looks like I spent a lot of time on it, but really and truly, I did not.  The pink background is from a 8X8 paper pad that I got at Hobby Lobby.  I could not have made a background that looked this good.  I used pierced chain dies to cut my mats.  I used Ranger Archival Ink to stamp my silhouette on to the paper.  

I hope you all enjoyed my cards today.  Let me know what you think of them.    Have a great week.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Daddy's Home

Hi, everyone.  Today I am going to share another new release from Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.   It is definitely a cute one.  It is called, "Daddy's Home".  It reminds me so much of my oldest two grand sons when they were little.  My daughter had her hands full with those two and what one did not think of the other one did.  ~smile~

I stamped this image on card stock.  I colored it using Copic Markers.  The sky was made using Distress Inks and a Heidi Pettie Cloud Stencil.

This card was made the same way as the first,  I just colored them differently.

Thanks, so much, for coming by today.  I love hearing your comments and opinions.  Have a wonderful week.

Little Country Church

Hi,  Blue Knight Rubber Stamps  has newly released stamps in the store today.    Today I am showcasing a new stamp set called "Little Country Church".   This set comes with the church and a sentiment.

Don't you just love the stained glass on this little church?  I stamped my image and colored it with Copic Markers.  I used a sponge dauber,  blue ink and a Heidi Pettie cloud template to make the puffy clouds.

After I stamped my image and colored it with Copic Markers, I used my cloud template and
 Pan Pastels to create the sky.



Thank you, for coming by to take a look at my cards.  I appreciate your visits.

Pinecone in Frame

Hello Everyone,  I have a Christmas cards to share with you today. a little Christmas in August.
I used the Pinecone in a Frame by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.

On the first card, I stamped the image on gold dotted designer paper.   Next I colored my pinecone and  greenery with Copic Markers.  I stamped the sentiment in red and matted my card.  I was afraid the gold dots might be a little much, but I like the way the gold dots show up on the pinecone.



The only thing I did different on the second card was to use different designer paper.  I thought this paper gave it a Country Christmas look.

Here is an extra card I did using traditional colors on plain white card stock.



You can find more cards made with the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps on the Blue Knight Blog and the Fans Facebook Page.   If you like tutorials, visit the  You Tube Channel.  Here is the link to the Blue Knight Store.

I am happy you dropped by today.  Come back, real soon.

Blue Knight Wide Castle

Hello, Friends.  Hope you all had a great weekend.  It went by really fast.  The weather was cooler here and it felt really good.  I am not looking forward to winter, but I am looking forward to enjoying some cooler evenings around the fire pit.

I am sharing a couple of cards that I made with Blue Knight Rubber Stamps called
"Wide Castle Scene".  There are three images in this set.  (the Castle, and two Knights)

I stamped my image on the card stock and colored it using Copic Markers.  I sponged my clouds using Marvy Uchida Lt Blue ink.  I used a Heidi Pettie Cloud Stencil to create the clouds.



Once again, I stamped my image on my card stock and I colored the castle using Copic Markers.  I used a green ink to sponge in the grass.  I used blue ink  and the Heidi Pettie Cloud Stencil to create the clouds.  I stamped the sentiment using Blue Knight Rubber Stamps "Legendary" stamp set.

The first card, I used light gray Copic's and for the second one I used light brown Copic's.   Both card were easy to make and I was happy with the way they both turned out.  I liked using soft and subtle colors for a change.

I changed back to the old blogger interface.  (at least until they make me use the new one again and they will).   I was having to type everything in a word document and then cut & paste it into my blog so it did not have everything underlined and double spaced sentences.  I was very frustrated.    I am hoping they will have the bugs worked out of it by the time they change me over,  again.  I talked to a couple others that were having a lot of the same problems I was having.  At first, the gals,  I talked to were all having success with their new interface.

Kind Words

Hello, Crafty Friends.  It is Monday,  so that means it is time for me to post my Blue Knight Rubber Stamps cards.  Today I am sharing two cards from the Kind Words set.  The set comes with the flower image and the sentiment shown on the first card.  I stamped my image on my card stock and colored it with Copic Markers.  I added Stickles to the center of the flowers.  I sponged the background using light blue ink.  The sentiment was stamped on tangerine card stock and I used a corner punch on the edges.  I added bling around sentiment piece to finish up my card.
For my second card, I stamped the image and the sentiment.  I colored the image with Copic Markers.  I left the background plain for a clean and simple look.
Blogger has changed my format and I am not liking it.  It will not let me turn the underline feature off.  Be sure and check out:Blue Knight Facebook PageBlue Knight You Tube ChannelBlue Knight StoreHopefully by my next post, I can figure out what do do about me or the blog that is not working right.  :)If any of you can help with my problems of how to to stop double line spacing and how to turn off the underline feature that is not working, please let me know.Have a great week.
