Way to Go, Graduate! with Red Rubber IDesigns

Good Morning Stamping Friends!

Time for another Inspirational on the Red Rubber Designs Blog!

Hosted by....Paula-Kay!

This week's Inspirational is:

Way to go, Graduate!

Create a graduation card!

What a great inspirational, especially for this time of year!

My little sister actually graduates from high school this year, so I decided to join in this inspirational to create her graduation card!

Next month I am putting on a graduation party for her!  Along with a birthday party for my kiddos!  Can't wait!

The sentiment is part of the Savvy Sayings stamp set.

And the stars are part of the Build-A-Background stamp set!

I used VersaMark ink and stamped the background, I then used some of my favorite Pearl Embossing powder!  I love the sparkle/glimmer from each star!

Just Because with GI

Happy Monday Stamping Friends!

It's my day to post on the Great Impression Stamps Blog!

I have a fun Just Because card to share with you today!
It's always nice to give cards for no reason, so unexpected and fun!

I used the large Just Because E654 sentiment.

A great font for anyone special!

I also used the new Dotted Leaves D482 for behind my Scalloped Flower C448!

The two stamps work so well together!!

I stamped my Scalloped Flower C448 three times and cut out each one at different sizes, so that I could make it 3D!

So fun!!

Painter's Tape Tutorial with GI

Happy Monday Crafty Friends!

It is my turn to share a tutorial with you on the Great Impressions Stamp Blog!

I decided to go with:

Painter's Tape Technique

I enjoy using this technique!

Start by gathering your supplies:

Painter's Tape

Inks

Card Base Layer (Mine is 5 1/4" x 4")

Stamp (I am using Seeded Dandelions (G298))

Rip off a few pieces of painter's tape to the length you would like.

For my card today, each piece was around the same size.

Next place the painter's tape on the ink pad you are going to use first, sticky side on ink pad.

Press your fingers across tape gently to ink it up!

The tape will look something like this:

Now you are ready to press the piece of tape onto your cardstock piece:

A look at the first "stamped" tape:

And a look at all the stamped "tape" before I stamped my image:

Now you can stamp your image! 

I used black so that it would really pop off the colored stamped tape!

(Sorry I forgot to take a pic of this step!)

My finished card:

What a fun technique!!

The "Enjoy the Day" tag is part of the Tags Rubber Stamp (G483) set!

I just love the result of this technique! 

Simple and yet so fun!!

Be sure to check out the Great Impressions Stamp store for all kinds of wonderful stamps!

Have a lovely day!!
