Happy Wednesday everyone! Today and tomorrow the Precious Remembrance Shop design team is teaming up with the
Imagine Crafts design team for some fun blog hops showcasing products from both companies! I have always love
Imagine Crafts (Tsukineko) inks and so I was super excited to have this opportunity to work with more of their amazing products for this hop! The PRS design team was given the opportunity to pick an assortment of products from Imagine Crafts to use for our projects. I had been hearing about the new
VersaFine CLAIR inks and so I made sure to include those in the products I picked. Can I just say that I absolutely LOVE the
CLAIR inks? They are fabulous to work with providing crisp images every time!! For todays cards I used the Totally stamp set and went very masculine for both cards. There will be an opportunity to win some wonderful prizes and that information will be at the end of my post. You should have arrived at my blog by way of my fellow teamie,
Helen's blog. If you did not, please head to the
Precious Remembrance Shop blog for the start of the hop and a complete list of everyone hopping today.
For the first card I used the paint stroke like image from the
Totally set to create a pattern somewhat like argyle using
CLAIR inks in Morning Mist and Twilight. I then stamped the word totally in CLAIR Nocturne. The piece was die cut with a large rectangle die. The little sentiment me/you/us was stamped on vellum using
VersaMark watermark ink and embossed in black using I
magine Crafts black embossing powder and then trimmed out. I adhered the sentiment strip using rolled up glue dots placed behind the embossing so they don't show as much. I adhered the panel to some gray woodgrain cardstock and then added small, medium and large dots using the
irRESISTible Pico Embellisher in Blue Danube randomly to the panel.
For the second card I had to do some surgery on my stamps in order to use them in my mini MISTI. To start I cut up the sentiment that says that's all! and used each word separately to stamp the sentiment all that! in CLAIR Morning Mist. The little word you're was part of a stamp that included a line so I simply cut off that portion so I could use just the word. That was stamped in CLAIR Twilight. I did not cut apart the stamp that contains the word really, but simply masked off the part of the stamp that I did not need, inked up the word, removed the mask and stamped the word. The panel was die cut with a medium sized rectangle die and then partially embossed with a star embossing folder. I sprayed the top portion of the card with some
Fireworks in Paris Dusk for a bit more interest. I stamped one of the stars from the
Totally set on white cardstock using Morning Mist, trimmed them out and adhered to the panel. Some gray baker's twine was tied around the card base and then the panel was adhered.

Hey everyone! Today is an exciting day as Precious Remembrance Shop has a new stamp set out today called Everyday and it is perfect for creating cards for all occasions. To celebrate the design team is having a blog hop and there is a chance for one lucky person to win this new set! All the details can be found at the end of this post. You should have arrived here from Kelly's blog. If you didn't, please head over to the Precious Remembrance Shop blog where all the fun starts! For my card today I decided to create a feminine anniversary card and used the hearts background image from the Everyday set along with two of the flowers from the Blossom stamp set. I started by embossing the heart background image from the Everyday set in white on white cardstock and then blended on some Wilted Violet distress oxide ink. When I had the coverage that I wanted I wiped off the excess ink and then die cut the image with a label die. I embossed the flowers and flower stems from the Blossom in white on vellum and then trimmed out the flowers and just the leaves from the stems. I then arranged and adhered all the pieces on a piece of white cardstock that I die cut with a large rectangle die. To finish things off I die cut a thin fishtail banner from vellum, stamped it with watermark ink and then embossed the sentiment in white. The banner was trimmed down and adhered to the label with glue dots. Love the super clean and simple design. Your next stop on the hop is my sweet friend and fellow teamie Greta and I know she will have something fabulous to share. Here is a look at this fun new set:
Hey everyone!! As many of you know today is National Coffee Day and the gals over at the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog are having another big blog hop to celebrate. Precious Remembrance Shop is a super sponsor and so is A Jillian Vance design. There are great prizes from both companies! Please head over to the PRS blog and the AJVD blog for all the details on how to win each prize. I made two cards to share. First up is a PRS card I made using the super fun Coffee Love stamp set from Precious Remembrance Shop along with an image from another fabulous PRS set called New Day. I stamped the coffee cup from Coffee Love on two coordinating papers from a My Mind's Eye paper pad. The full cup was trimmed out from one and then pieces of the other were trimmed out and adhered to the cup as you see. I then stamped the sentiment in the center of the cup. I trimmed down another coordinating piece of paper and cut it on the diagonal. The pieces were adhered to a light green cardstock base. I stamped the image from the New Day that looks like a coffee stain in pink ink and then adhered the coffee cup. Precious Remembrance Shop has a discount offer going on right now so I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to save on some fantastic PRS sets through October 8th. Going to add this to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of anything goes.
As I indicated above A Jillian Vance Design is also a part of this hop. I created a clean and simple design using thee AJVD sets Brew-tiful and But First Coffee. I stamped the coffee cup ring image from But First Coffee in two different inks (kraft and taupe) on off white cardstock. The coffee bean image was stamped in a really dark brown. I stamped the sentiment (from Brew-tiful) using a light brown ink and then die cut the word coffee (from the Coffee, Tea & Me die set) from brown glitter cardstock and some scrap cardstock. All the die cuts were adhered together and then adhered to the card to complete the sentiment. I'm adding this to the CAS(E) this Sketch link up as I used their sketch for the layout. Make sure that you head over to the AJVD blog to see my card along with projects from other AJVD design team members and to leave a comment for a chance to win a $100 prize pack!
Hey everyone!! There is a new stamp set available in the Precious Remember Shop store and the design team is having a blog hop to celebrate! The new set is call Little Things and is perfect for scrapbook layouts, cards and planners. You should have arrived here by way of Kelly's blog. If you did not please head over to the Precious Remembrance Shop blog for the start of the hop. For my card today I decided to go with a monochromatic look that is very clean and simple. I stamped the triangle cluster image diagonally across white cardstock using Catherine Pooler ink in Rose Petals. I stamped the cluster once and then stamped image a second time slightly offset to create a shadow effect. I then stamped the long polka dot strip on white cardstock with the same ink, trimmed it out, tore the ends to make it look like washi tape and then stamped it with the sentiment. The panel was die cut and then adhered to a white cardstock base and then popped up the sentiment strip with foam dots. I adhered some light pink buttons (from Precious Remembrance Shop) to finish off the design. Your next stop on the hop is my sweet friend, Greta! Make sure that you hop through all the design team blogs and leave some love as there will be an opportunity to win the Little Things stamp set! Commenting is open through May 25th. Here is a look at the full set:
