Pick of the Week ~ Frame and Sentiment Cards

Pick of the Week

Jan 282019

Today Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions is allowing me to pick a few stamps that I enjoy working with. I challenged myself to make a card with no images, just making a sentiment the focal point of the card. In order to really highlight the sentiment, I used some of Wendy’s frames - love, love, love these frames. Here is what I did.

I am just crazy about the 3114-I Just hand over the stamps sentiment. There is a huge category of stamping verses and sayings - check out Stamping Verses and Stampers Christmas Carols - really cute and some really funny! The frame for this one is called 1514-J Billboard Border.

This one uses the large “thanks” from the set of unmounted stamps called Thanks Plate 10000 and the frame is 10504-Q Wavy Oval Frame Lg from the Frames ~ Oval & Round set.

The last card uses the sentiment 4026-F, Today and Always. I used one of the smaller ovals, 10502-K Dotted Oval Frame Sm, from the Frames ~ Oval & Round set.

Thanks for looking at my cards. Check out the Frames ~ Oval & Round set and the Frames ~ Rectangle & Marquee set Wendy has created and get inspired!

Pick of the Week ~ Favorite Flower Power Cards

Pick of the Week

Jan 212019

Today is my day to share my Pick of the Week here at The House That Stamps Built. As it is the start of the new year, I thought I would go through and pick my favorite cards I made for The House challenges during 2018. There were way too many to pick so I am going to do a feminine version today and you can stay tuned for a masculine version later in the year.

If you’ve been around my blog you know I LOVE Repeat Impressions’ “Flower Power Separates” stamps, so here are the cards I created using them during 2018: (to see the details of any of them clink on the month link above the picture to be taken to the original blog post)
