Hampton Art | Mr Smarty..

Oh dear! I have totally lost track of time and haven't shared my layout created for Hampton Art this month!  It was posted on March 6. March 6!!! That's a big ooops on my part but I guess better late than never.   

 

*bashful grin?*

 

 

"Mr Smarty"

 

cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Jillibean Soup; Stamps - Hampton Art: Jillibean Soup, Echo Park; alphas - Jillibean Soup; other - ink: colorbox, colorshine, Jillibean Soup: pea pod parts; tools - typewriter, machine stitching.

This month I wanted to use a full sheet of letter stamps without the hassle of individually placing them on an acrylic block.  My solution..? A simple paintbrush loaded with water.   :)

You guys are pretty clever and have already figured it out, but if you would like to know more, please visit the Hampton Art blog for the details.  *grin*

Hampton Art | Cards...

Hello Lovely Friends!  Today I have a scrappy share for Hampton Art.  I made these two cards for my friend's twin daughters.  They are so, so cute (as all little four year old girls should be!) and I wanted these cards to reflect that.  *grin*  And because they are twins I wanted to create two individual looking birthday cards  but still be cohesive to each other.... Maybe I put too much thought into the creative process! LOL!!! 

Anyway.... here they are.

"You're Awesome"

A collection of Cards...

Hi Everyone.  Just wanted to pop in here quickly to share a few of my card creations from the last month.  Today I have one of my cards up on the Jillibean Soup blog.  Considering the patterned papers I've been playing with, it is starting to look a little like Christmas around here!!! oh my....... *grin*

products used: cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Jillibean Soup; other - Jillibean Soup: die cuts, Christmas Cheer Chowder word stickers, flash cards.

 

products used: cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Jillibean Soup: Christmas Cheer Chowder, Soup Staples II; other - Jillibean Soup: soup labels, twine; ink.

But I've also been playing with some Hampton Art stamps too.  I created this creepy crawly card for my niece who loves anything bug related!  She's not you typical 11 year old! :)

products used: cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Bella Blvd; other - Jillibean Soup clear stamps, rhinestones, twine, Greatest View glassine bag; tools - hole punch, corner rounder.

I'm keeping it fairly simple with my cards at the moment.  If I think about it too much then I get overwhelmed! LOL!  Especially with the thought of Christmas looming! Yikes!! Thanks for visiting with me today..x

 

 

Hampton Art | You are no. 1...

Hi Everyone! I've been playing around with stamps a lot lately, thanks mostly to the wonderful DT opportunity at Hampton Art.  Most of the time, I have no clear idea what I am going to create until I have those stamps on paper.  But sometimes I have an idea stuck in my head and I play until I see the result on paper to match.  *grin*

This card I am sharing today was a little bit like that... an experiment!  LOL!  A simple-in-design experiment!

 

"You are No.1"



products used: stamps: Hampton Art for Echo Park - "About a Boy" (SC0526); "Scoot" (SC0528)
ink: Archival Ink (jet black); VersaMark (watermark).
 
other - cardstock, acrylic paint, clear embossing powder, post-it notes, soft paint brush.

 

I am just getting the hang of this embossing business too!  LOL!  Yes.  I know I am late to the party.  But I can now say I am have quite a bit of fun with it.  However, the next tool on my wish list to purchase will be a heat gun.  *grin*  Currently I am still hovering my cardstock over the toaster just to melt the embossing powder!!! 

For the full tutorial, please visit here.  But it is fairly simple and I am sure you can work it out from the photos...x

Thanks so much for visiting...x
