BSS IDEA - Friends

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Idea.

Were you able to get to the Stamp Show this weekend?

Sharon's booth was just packed with new goodies and wonderful card 

samples.

Bought so much new stuff.  Stayed for the entire 7 hours, spent too 

much money, bought too much new stamps and stuff, and enjoyed

myself  thoroughly. 

This weeks card is from an adorable stamp set  from Penny Black

Smile All Day.  I am loving the little fox images that have been

showing up from different stamp companies and this set combines

the fox with the little hedge hog image.  The inside sentiment

is included in this clear set.

BSS IDEA - FLOWER LANTERNS

WELCOME TO THE BUFFALO STAMPS AND STUFF IDEA.

I hope you are enjoying the last bit of summer before

kids start to return to school.

This week, I tackled the Flower Lanterns stamp

from Penny Black.  The card I am showing here

today is my third attempt.  But I finally figured it

out.  I stamped the image onto water color paper

using Antique Linen distress ink.  I then 

water colored it using various colors of my

distress inks.  Just tap your pad onto your

craft sheet and spritz with water to create

water colors.  

Stamp - Penny Black - Flower Lanterns (40-547)

Embossing Folder - Sizzix 3-D Textured Impressions

Basketweave

Candi embellishments

I loaded the brush with dark brown and then

green water color paint and tapped it over

the image to create splatters.

Gingham bow to complete.

Then

I used the same method

of stamping, so you get the detail, but colored

with my Copics.

I think I like the copics the best, but have
to admit that watercoloring is not my talent.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.
until later........

BSS IDEA - STENCILING

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Idea

A few cooler days brought on some productive craft time!

I bought these two beautiful stencils a couple of weeks ago

while in the store, and finally got round to checking them out.

The card below is my first attempt, and I just love how it

turned out.

The stencils are by Altenew

Layered Dahlia Stencil A

Layered Dahlia Stencil B
Butterfly Punch - Martha Stewart

I used a yellow dye ink pad, and

Wild Honey distress ink on my card.

You end up with  white border, but I cut

the white border off so I could mat with

a deep yellow card stock.

The Stencils make a large card 6x6 inches

But you could always use a portion of the stencil

and make smaller note cards like these 5 x 3 3/4 inch cards.

Loved using these stencils, make a very pretty card.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day.  Until later.....

HMFMC #247 - Anythng But A Card

My project is a birthday card and gift tag holder.

It holds about 10 cards and envelopes

and about 12 tags, but I made 8 of each.

Cards were made from pre-colored images from the Joanna Sheen

Triple House Mouse Designs CD

I made the tags from stamped images that I colored with Copics.

I found this idea on youtube here is the link
