Shack Survivor...How long will I LAST?

Hey stampers!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for a contest that will begin soon on THE STAMP SHACK.  It's been a long time coming, but Shack contests and challenges are BACK and I'm excited about it!  I'm sharing a card created for SURVIVOR...An elimination game where participants post a card in hopes that their card does not get eliminated...

I bet mine will get elimintated real soon in the competition because it has some traditional items that are usually on the top of the chopping block.  SO here are the "popular items"

stamped flowers, ribbon, kraft cardstock, twine

Here are some things I hope keep me in the mix...they're not so common: 

graph paper, mosaic, coloring with chalk/glycerin and doodling

We'll see...

Patterned Paper:  None
Cardstock:  The Paper Company (Kraft), Bazzill (green), Club Scrap? (Teal)
Graph Paper
Ribbon/Twine:  Michael's
Colored chalk
Glycerin
Versafine Onyx ink
Copic Mulitliner Black pen .35

New Release Wednesday at Heartfelt Creations...

Hello Stampers!  Yipee!!!  It's finally the day to announce the special July Release at Heartfelt Creations.  


The Botanical Garden Collection features 5 new precut stamp sets that coordinate with existing Spellbinder Rose Creations Shapeabilities and Spellbinder Foliage Shapeabilities. The Botanical Garden Collection is a great addition to every floral lover's collection of flowers.

Coordinates with the following Spellbinders Die Sets
Leave a comment on my blog or the Heartfelt Creations blog by July 19 and one lucky person will win the entire release valued at $75.00. The winner will be announced on the HC blog on July 20.

 Played around with glossy paper today.   I wanted to do a little resist stamping.  I love the effect that white ink on glossy cardstock has when it is inked over...then wiped away...so subtle and pretty. 
Another delicious flower to use in my cards!!!  This time, stamped on the leftover patterned paper used on the same card.  Gotta add some ribbon too...I thought the black check gave just the contrast it needed to bring down the formality of the card a bit...Not too stuffy! 
 Here you can see the glossy cardstock and the stamping of the leaves using white ink as a "mask".  After inking the background with a sponge, I rubbed off the white ink to reveal the non-colored image it left behind. 
This close-up shows the golden edge created with Rub-n-buff and a little shimmer from copper Tsukeniko shimmer spritz. 

And a great CHRISTMAS card using a new FERN stamp in the Woodland Fern Precut Set...I'm going to be doing this quite a bit more...I see gold, silver, green, blue, red trees in the future! 

Did some generational stamping with the tree to create some depth and a little rustic feel. Really simple layout was all it needed. 
 Here was my chance to add some of my much neglected silver and red Stickles.  I might go back and connect the dots with some doodling-to create cording like christmas lights...Maybe not. 
To finish it off, I used some antique-like clear chunky glitter sitting in my craft room.  I think I bought that stuff YEARS ago to decorate some christmas ornaments.

Thanks for stopping by!  See you soon.

Heartfelt Wednesday...

It's another Wednesday, and that means I get to share with you the projects I've created for Heartfelt Creations.  It's a busy time at school with state testing right around the corner, so any time I can spend in my stamping room is much needed respite care...It helps maintain my sanity at this CRAZY time of year!!! 

 I decided to work with my Grand Calibur this for this card.  I love how I can create BIG shaped cards with it!!!  I dug into my paper stash and pulled out a fun and playful pattern paper collection!  I don't know what it is about pink cardstock, but I just LOVE using it.  I love how stamped images look on it in a monochromatic scheme!
