SNSDC13–Color Challenge

 

 

Hello and happy Friday everyone~

I made one card for Sweet ‘N Sassy Digital Challenge 13 (SNSDC13) . The challenge is to create a card/project with *ORANGE, YELLOW AND GREEN* colors using ONLY SNSS digital stamps. The color combo is just perfect for summer & fall (ahhhh, can’t wait the season of pumpkins and bright colored leaves!). Please visit SNS Digi Challenge blog for more detail about the challenge. Can’t wait to see your creation!

 

 

I used Milton’s Good Book Digi. I colored the image with Copic markers and sponged the background with ink.  I designed the card with cardstock and EP designer papers. I also used the border punch for the decorated borders. To finish off, I embellished with the sating ribbon, button and brown twine.

RI What If? Wednesday Sketch #J2711

 

 

 

Hello everyone~

I made a card for Repeat Impressions What If? Wednesday Sketch challenge (J2711)!! Wendy has provided another wonderful sketch for you to play. You will have 2 weeks (until Tuesday, Aug 9th) to enter your card using the sketch over RI Blog The House That Stamps Built. All participants will have a chance to win a $25 Repeat Impressions gift certificate!! I hope you will play along with us! Please check out RI Blog for more detail.

 

 

 

 

Here is my take.

I used one of new Summer Series, Cool Treats (9008-N) . The image has 3 ice creams but I used just one of them. The cone was colored with Copic markers and the ice creams were paper pieced with the patterned papers and adhered on the main panel. I designed the card with cardstock and the light pink panel was dry embossed with the embossing folder. The sentiment, Sweets Things (9007-E) on the circle mat. To finish off, I embellished with the striped ribbon and rhinestones.

This card has also been submitted to CR84FN Color Challenge 34 (CR84FN34) .

RI SOTW–Week of Jul 25th, 2011

 

 

Hello again,

This is my second post and I have one more card to show you today! I made this for this week’s Stamp of The Week from Repeat Impressions!! The SOTW is this adorable image, Headin’ Home (2901-O) . The SOTW is available exclusively to our RI blog readers at 50% OFF with the special discount code from Mon, Jul 25th to Sun, Jul 31st. To get the discount code and more information about the SOTW, please go to the RI blog “The House That Stamps Built”.

 

For my card, I decided to color the image with sepia tones  (Copic markers – E30, 31, 33, 34, 35, 37 and 80)…something nostalgic about the image. Maybe she reminds of me when I was little, lol. I designed card with cardstock and sepia shell patterned paper using the sketch from SCS Sketch Challenge 342 (SC342). The blue panel was stamped with Sandcastle (9016-M) and I used the sentiment Wish You Were (2821-H). To finish off the card, I dressed with the brown & blue pearls.

KS Monday–Strawberry Seed Packet Card

 

 

Hello and happy Kitchen Sink Monday everyone~

I’m writing this post away from home. I came to Houston to prescreen if I was eligible to donate white blood cells for my father in law. He has been diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia and been taken Chemo-treatment at MD Anderson for about 10 days so far. He’s doing good, just some side affects from chemo but there are more better days now than when the first couple days he started. There are possibilities he may have infections so some of his family and friends need to prepare for white blood cells donation. I didn’t know it was a little different process from the normal blood donation and the prescreen result is only good for 30 days. After 30 days, I have to do re prescreen again. The best thing is that he won’t have to need the white blood cells at all, but when he needs, I’m always available to donate! Please pray for him that he can finish the treatment with no complications and for my mother in law for her strength and health so that she can continue to support and be with him.

 

 

I made today’s KS Monday project with using the new set, Seed Packet. The set works wonderfully with other KSS sets, like Multi Step Berries I used for the card! I designed the strawberries using  some masking. The berries were stamped as following these steps: 1st – SU pink pirouette, 2nd – SU regal rose, 3rd – SU riding hood red, 4th – VersaFine imperial purple. The leaves were: 1st – SU certainly celery, 2nd – SU old olive (1 x stamp off), 3rd – old olive. I just noticed that I didn’t use any ribbons or embellishments! Not usual for me but I really liked how the card was turned out so I didn’t even noticed that :)

The releasing sets are

• Multi Step Tomato (mini)
• Multi Step Lettuce (mini)
• Multi Step Zinnia
• Multi Step Baskets
• Seed Packet (works wonderfully with many of KS sets!)

We also start carrying storage boxes for stamps and craft covered journals!! The storage box is the best stamp organization, especially KSS stamps! It fits 2 large/medium sets or 4 small/mini sets comfortably! They are wonderful organization system and definitely save my time to find my KSS stamps :)

Please visit What’s New section for the all new stamps and items.

 

 

I made a couple projects using some of the new released sets. The card above was used Multi Step Tomato and Multi Step Baskets. The banner is also from the new set, Seed Packet. I just cannot wait you get to play them…they are so much fun to ink! The cherry tomatoes were stamped with the following steps: 3rd – SU bravo burgundy, 2nd – SU real red, 1st – SU poppy parade. The stems were 2nd – SU garden green, 1st – SU wild wasabi. The basket was stamped with these steps: 3rd – SU soft suede, 2nd – soft suede (1 x stamp off), 1st – SU crumb cake.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next project was used Multi Step Zinnia (flower set, yay!!). I made this sticky note pad using a post card size coaster. Again, I used the banner from Seed Packet set and the sentiment was used from 3 Step School Days. The zinnias were stamped with the following steps: 5th – VersaFine imperial purple, 4th – SU cherry cobbler, 3rd – SU melon mambo 2nd – melon mambo (1 x stamp off), 1st – SU blushing bride. The leaves were 3rd – SU garden green, 2nd – SU old olive, 1st – SU certainly celery.
