Another Clear Dollar Stamp creations...

How fun to create a scene using these cute little stamps. I stamped and masked the deer and stamped him a second time. Stamped the mailbox and added the bird on top. Colored everything with my Chalk Pencils then went over them with my VersaMarker and dipped it into Detail Clear Powder. Heat set, and continue with the scene. Added the trees and then sponged in a clouded sky using SU Soft Sky pad. Added the Clear Dollar snowflakes from the set. Put glitter (doesn't show in the scan) on the snowy ground and on the snowflakes in the sky. Used the SU oval punches to punch out pieces for the saying. The whole thing was layered onto Burgandy and then onto a piece from a Winter Mat Pack from Michaels. This adorable little set was Clear Dollar Stamps stgamp of the month for November, free with my order.

Baroque Motifs


This is one of those all time favorite, versatile sets. I embossed Gold EP onto Gold card stock, then embossed the small white flowers. Add small half-pearls and you are done. An elegant creation, quick and easy.

CDS - Nutty 'Bout You





What fun I'm having with this Clear Dollar Stamps set. This post includes the envelope, the inside, and then the outside (alas I couldn't figure out how to change the order of the pictures, or to rotate the envelope). This is done using the Scrunch & Cling technique, with Walnut Ink, for the tree and the background piece. I stamped everything with Stazon. The Tree, Limb, Squirrel and Peanuts on the outside of the card are all cutout and put on (without being popped up). I think this will make a cute, non-traditional, Valentine.

Yvonne Albritton Designs


Yvonne Albritton Designs out of Renton WA creates some great stamps and she sells them with full color printout suggestions. This sporty fella was stamped onto generic white using Stazon. He was colored with my SU markers and highlighted with Crystal Effects. I sponged Barely Banana and a touch of Summer Sun around him then layered him onto some neat wall paper that I had laying around. Need to do a couple more of these because I have several grandsons.

Inspired by Nature II

This is the same card except that the sky is brayered Bashful Blue and then sponged with Baja Breeze.

Inspired By Nature

This fun card was created by brayering the sky with Barely Banana. I masked for the sun and sponged a little Apricot and Summer Sun onto the sun. Reversed the mask and sponged a little More Mustard onto the Sky. I created 'mountains' by tearing a post-it note and laying it down to brayer Chocolate Chip onto the card. I moved the post-it and brayered again, creating a little 'depth' to the scene. I stamped Inspired by Nature in Chocolate Chip and used the Su punch to create the cattails. Layer onto Brown and onto Vanilla and it's done.
Paper: Generic white, brown and vanilla
Ink: Barely Banana, Apricot, Summer Sun, More Mustard, Chocolate Cip
Accessories: Post-It, Punch
