Go Team!

Today I am sharing my very last post for Artistic Outpost. I just love these amazing stamps and wish that I could continue working with this very talented team,but life continues to get busier and I must put family first! I know I will still be crafting with my Artistic Outpost stamps when I get time in between diaper changes and feeding!

My card today uses the new Go Team stamp set. Perfect for all the little and mature men in your life. My background is strips of paper washed with gesso. I then sprayed a few colors of ink, stamped and added my sentiment and Go Team banner embellishments.

It’s a Touchdown!

  Happy New Year! I hope you are all enjoying the remainder of your holiday. While crafting this week, I was thinking about how appropriate the Go Team stamps from Artistic Outpost are for this time of the year. Only a month until the Superbowl.

   I stenciled and stamped on the card base before adding a layer of book paper that as been stained, inked and stamped. I just love this little guy with the football. An adorable, vintage image from the set that has been stamped, colored and cut out. Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Girls

Welcome! I can’t believe it is already the second week of December. I guess that means I should share a Christmas project. I made this card for Artistic Outpost using the new Toy Emporium Stamps. I love these stamps because they are so nostalgic and vintage in appearance. I hope you are enjoying the holidays with your family!

Hello! It’s been a while since I posted. So much going on in life. We just moved and we are trying to get settled in.

Just a quick card for Artistic Outpost. I used the new Vintage Fashion stamp set for my focal image and sentiment.

Artistic Outpost New Release!

    I am loving this new vintage Christmas set! Using the little girl and the sentiment, I made a tag pouch, but I am not sharing the tag just yet. My background was made using paints. I embossed the script in dark green. My embellishments include two doily dies, (this Doily is my favorite from ODBD) stickles, and a lot of white flowers.

   Another one of the amazing sets in this release. Who doesn’t love a beautiful dress form? My background is patterned paper with drippy paints. To embellish I added more die cuts.  Can you tell I love those doilies? I used the Vintage Ephemera paper pad for the center doily. I kept the focus on that beautiful dress form embellished with some netting and a flower.
  And one more picture.

Who Doesn’t Love the Circus?

     I know…your wondering if I am still alive. It has been eventful as of late. Trying to sell a house in one state and trying to buy one in another has certainly been an eye opener to the incompetence of banks and lawyers. And then, pregnancy issues (sickness) on top of that. Did I mention that I am pregnant??!! So, that is why I have been MIA as of late.
    Just a few cards from Artistic Outpost ‘s Vintage Circus stamp set. Loving the retro look to this set! So many fun possiblities. And one more for fun!

Wander…

     Hello and Happy Independence Day for those of you in the States. I recently realized how much I have been neglecting my blog. Let’s just say life has created many obstacles as of late. I am sure many of you have similar situations and understand that blogging takes last place when compared to my family. That being said, I really want to try harder to post more often. Thanks for sticking with me and leaving nice comments.

      I am sharing a card using the Artistic Outpost stamp set, Wander and Dream for the sentiment and image. The background was stamped using Springtime stamp set.

Artistic Outpost May Release

   Welcome to the newest stamp release for Artistic Outpost . Today I will be sharing a card from each of these new sets.
   The first card was made using the Springtime stamp set.

I used pattern paper in my background and several die cuts. One of my favorite dies was used to make the leaves. I stamped the children in the center of the flower petal and finished off by layering everything.

From the Wander and Dream set I used the Western girl as my focal point. I used a die to cut the card base and dyed it using Distress Inks. I layered a few pieces of lace for my background and mounted the stamped image to a die cut popped up on pop dots.
