<span style="font-size: large;">Hello and thanks for stopping by the blog today. I hope you are all ready for Christmas, it's coming pretty fast, can you believe how quickly it comes and then goes?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was perusing Pinterest the other day, as I usually do and I found a great card that I wanted to take inspiration from. I can't give anyone credit for the inspiration because the photo doesn't link back to a blog or anything but whomever you are, thank you for the inspiration for this project.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to make a similar card BUT I wanted to show the versatility of <a href="http://www.stampotique.com/">Stampotique stamps</a> and make this card, three different but similar ways using Stampotique stamps.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The first one I did was this one, using<a href="http://www.stampotique.com/stamp/karen-hayselden/14013.html"> Karen Hayselden's Safina </a>Stamp</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLIFpeHYHqffGpzuEUF-VPjN-ykabCO06vaXhw_bApqcUWoiGsTE59vzU36tYKePUgfmf1PlPaPvjmLtSWFTf7BSmP9cHCe_Hu_Xk4JNVBexBcxSoIN_KYeSjtnOuHiqtRrCHRE3AQ6VAp/s1600/0014013_claudine_criner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLIFpeHYHqffGpzuEUF-VPjN-ykabCO06vaXhw_bApqcUWoiGsTE59vzU36tYKePUgfmf1PlPaPvjmLtSWFTf7BSmP9cHCe_Hu_Xk4JNVBexBcxSoIN_KYeSjtnOuHiqtRrCHRE3AQ6VAp/s400/0014013_claudine_criner.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The gold paper in the background is Tim Holtz Deco Sheets, these are fabulous thin sheets of glittery paper with a self adhesive backing. The Ribbon is also a Tim Holtz product</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The snowflake die comes from Memory Box and it's called Dazzling Snowflake</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next up I used a stamp by Kate Crane called <a href="http://www.stampotique.com/stamp/kate-crane/11012.html">Christmas Boots</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the cutest bunny in a santa suit and I thought it worked so great on the card </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I also used words by Kate Crane, these words come on the side with <a href="http://www.stampotique.com/stamp/kate-crane/11009.html">Peace and Love Angel</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXG7-dNp0DBHbb1YUaG8kETe352MUhLbtKe0ScEIk8UIiHga_C0rY_N0gl5aAM1F9MmcYQPjq0ocOa9hf8TyO93ycUzwzhoaAAAjo_rgeGumUFmPbJqKYfwwpHWEoi7g1Ri6Xhy8afrVXt/s1600/0011012_claudine_criner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXG7-dNp0DBHbb1YUaG8kETe352MUhLbtKe0ScEIk8UIiHga_C0rY_N0gl5aAM1F9MmcYQPjq0ocOa9hf8TyO93ycUzwzhoaAAAjo_rgeGumUFmPbJqKYfwwpHWEoi7g1Ri6Xhy8afrVXt/s400/0011012_claudine_criner.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The background was made exactly the same as the one above, the dimensions are different I made this card taller to accommodate the bunny</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and lastly for this card I used the Hohoho words from the stamp by Karen Hayselden </span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.stampotique.com/stamp/karen-hayselden/14015.html">Holly Wally</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tracy Scott's Stamp called <a href="http://www.stampotique.com/stamp/tracy-scott/15000.html">Lola</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Daniel Torrente's stamp called <a href="http://www.stampotique.com/stamp/penney-torrente/6065.html">Christmas Cubed </a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This time I used silver Tim Holtz Deco Sheets behind the red and a blue card base.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you enjoyed seeing how the same card can be done three different ways but still be so precious. I love how each one has it's own personality</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog today. I've been working on more samples for my work AND <a href="http://www.stampotique.com/">Stampotique </a>items.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We at Stampotique have this wonderful thing called "Word Up Weekend" where we are sharing words, phrases and alphabets that Stampotique carries in their line of fabulous stamps. We want people to be aware of all the wonderful words and phrases that Stampotique carries. They have quite a diverse array of them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The design team has been sharing these on the weekend on our Facebook Page, that is why we call it "Word Up Weekend"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello all and welcome back to the blog today. I wanted to share with you some simple cards that I have been making. Mostly for my daughter who went off to college. I like to send her a card at least once every other week and these are some of the cards I've made</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The first two cards are some that I created with Stampotique stamps:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Hello everyone, thanks for stopping by today. I wanted to show you some coasters that I made for my daughter and sister featuring <a href="http://www.stampotique.com/stamp/tracy-scott.html">Stampotique stamps </a>and some Dylusions sayings.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I also want to invite you to come over to the <a href="http://stampotiquedesignerschallenge.blogspot.com/2015/10/sdc-october-challenge-links.html">Stampotique Designer's Challenge Blog</a> and join us this week in our challenge. We always have some great prizes.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>this project took me all of about two days to finish. I made two sets of 6 coasters for a total of 12. I created my backgrounds, two by two, all the same so that I could make two sets of coasters pretty quickly.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>For the backgrounds I used mostly acrylic paint (since it's permanent and won't smear when I get ready to seal them)</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>If I used inks it was mostly Archival that I used. Distress or anything else would smear. I love to add washi tape and doodles into my backgrounds as well.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Most of my stamped images were stamped onto thinner cardstock and colored and then fussy cut out. (that what takes the longest in this process) </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The first set were made for my sister. She is a fun and sarcastic person so I used some of the Dylusion's stamped sayings on them.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The second set were made for my daughter and I used mostly Stampotique's sayings</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Even though the backgrounds are the same, the coasters came out very different. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>This was so much fun and I loved making them. Time to buy some more blank coasters and make more!!!</b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello all and welcome back to the blog this week. I have a fun project to share with you today. Over at <a href="http://stampotiquedesignerschallenge.blogspot.com/2016/08/sdc-256-mail-art.html">Stampotique's Challenge Blog</a> they have great new challenge. This week it's all about "Mail Art"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">make something you can mail.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As you all know I have been missing my baby girl, she went off to college a couple of week's ago. Well, I made her some things that I could mail to her. Last week I showed you the bookmark. Well this week I wanted to show the envelope I created for her letter and bookmark.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used a envelope tool to create an envelope with this pretty piece of polka dot cardstock</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is a turquoise color with shiny silver polka dots. It's hard to see in the pic because I got a glare.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used my stamps to stamp onto white cardstock and colored them and then cut them out and glued them onto the front of my envelope.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">"Wild and woolly or friendly and domesticated we love them all..make sure to include an animal or two on your creation this week."</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">I decided to do an art journal page for this challenge... it turned out more masculine than I thought it would but I tried a technique on my background</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">I painted my background black first and then added paint and embossing paste on top of that, then I used an embossing folder over it all. Pretty cool result....</span></b></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Welcome back to another week and another new challenge over at <a href="http://stampotiquedesignerschallenge.blogspot.com/2016/05/sdc246-anything-but-black.html">Stampotique.</a> This week Samantha Reed is our hostess and she is challenging us to a "Anything BUT Black" challenge.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Here is what she says about this challenge:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">"The first thing I usually do after choosing which stamp I'm going to use is to reach for my black inkpad. So I'm challenging myself and you to make anything you fancy so long as there is no black ink or paint etc. Have fun!"</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So let's see your best "non-black" creations. No black what-so-ever is going to be quite a challenge for me, I use black on everything I create, I think black is my most used color.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This week I created a dashboard cover for my Midori travelers notebook. This one is going to be the cover for my calendar insert</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">To begin I covered the entire page with gesso</span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVfscjPTesu-XV5VNj8V2KbsyN-2Z-owsX3R6KSZ3-GHtc6Q55Gor99eKVIwA3oULmdlh-78Nj99BjlBw1e7sF7VOOfW6xQsVNHyWz5WzkNbDEpK6sZ_hn4D7P1udw4mLAClrTE7DTaPn1/s1600/IMG_5130.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVfscjPTesu-XV5VNj8V2KbsyN-2Z-owsX3R6KSZ3-GHtc6Q55Gor99eKVIwA3oULmdlh-78Nj99BjlBw1e7sF7VOOfW6xQsVNHyWz5WzkNbDEpK6sZ_hn4D7P1udw4mLAClrTE7DTaPn1/s400/IMG_5130.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I then used my DecoArt paint to paint the entire background an orange color</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">After that was dry I combined some DecoArt turquoise paint and this awesome stuff called Texture Powder (by Prima)</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The powder essentially makes any paint into a texture paste when combined. It's the coolest stuff. I used the paste through a stencil onto my background</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>So this part is actually funny, I stamped my image and then embossed it and realized that, out of habit, I stamped with black ink!! I had to go and re-stamp the image with a brown ink instead. LOL see how much I use black ink?</b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by again and welcome to another weekly challenge at <a href="http://stampotiquedesignerschallenge.blogspot.com/">Stampotique</a></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">T<b>his week <a href="http://Arwen McCullen">Arwen</a> is our hostess and her challenge for us is "Nature"</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Here is what Arwen says about this challenge:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">"Create a project with only nature items in it, no humans or animals"</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Well this one should be easy because I just love nature and everything it brings. </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">I decided to do a journal page this week and used one particular stamp that I just love</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.stampotique.com/stamp/janet-klein/9256.html">Sunflower Large</a> - By Janet Klein </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">I also decided not to go with my usual bright colors and went with more of a nature inspired color pallet </span></b></div>
