For All You Do

Hi creative Just For Fun bloggers. Linda here today to share another StampTangle card with you.

I stamped the pear with archival black ink on brown cs. I wanted to see how colored pencils looked on brown compared to black and I really liked the outcome. I used pink and light green pencils. To coordinate I used pink and green cs for the background. I divided the background by drawing a line in the center from top to bottom and then from side to side just above center. I took my quilting ruler and drew 45 degree lines. I cut the cs pieces and adhered to a piece of computer copy paper to eliminate bulk. Then it was run through my Cuttlebug with an embossing folder from Stampin' Up! and edged using a gold calligraphy marker. I wrapped the ribbon around this, tied knot and trimmed.

The sentiment was stamped on white cs and punched out with a decorative label punch, edged in light pink and attached over the ribbon. This entire piece was attached to a brown mat and then a pink mat. The pear was popped up onto the finished card.

Hi Bloggers. Hope all is well with you and yours.

I have a holiday card to share with you today. This is a new Just For Fun stamp, and it carries on with their StampTangle theme. I hope you like it.

Hmmmm, the colors on the background are not very true. So sorry for this. They look on the orange side but are definitely reds and greens. I used an alcohol background from my stash and ran it through a holiday embossing folder. Then I sanded it a bit to bring out the white of the card stock. Since the background was created on glossy card I stamped the Peace ornament (G3728) on glossy also using Stazon ink. I added color with markers and when dry, added gem and pearl embellishments. 

The ornament is popped up on the background and a bow glue-dotted to the hanger. The strips are glitter tape in white that I went over with the distress tool with distress ink on it. 

This is a nice sized ornament, approx 3 3/4" x 3". 

Thanks for stopping by and "see" you soon.....Linda 

Thanks for Everything

It's Friday and I have another Just For Fun Thanksgiving card to share with you today. 

I've done some layering on this one and I've used the Large StampTangle Pumpkin. I colored the pumpkin with my go-to medium, colored pencils. The sentiment was stamped with Archival black ink and distressed around the edges with vintage photo ink. I added a bit of Distress Stickles to the vines/leaves. 

Just to give you an idea of the size of the three pumpkins, I took a picture of the images I stamped onto white card stock. The largest one is approx. 3 1/2 x 4, medium is 2 3/4 x 2 1/4, and smallest 2 x 1 3/4. You can find them HERE.

Happy Friday!  

I have a Thanksgiving card to share today. 

It's so hard now days not to go straight to Christmas after Halloween. And no wonder with the merchandising hype well in the groove. My husband now calls Thanksgiving "the forgotten holiday". Isn't that a sad thought. I try not to forget about giving thanks and take a break from whatever is going on in my life and reassess my priorities. 

The card I created for you uses the wonderful StampTangle medium pumpkin. I say "medium" because there are three sizes to choose from. And, as always, three choices of mounting.  I colored the pumpkin with colored pencils, die cut a vine and used an autumn paper for the background. The sentiment also came with the autumn paper and was popped up before attaching. Gold colored adhesive gems were added to each side of the sentiment. All is mounted onto a sage green card after adding a 5/8" wide ribbon in matching green.

I will be showing you the largest pumpkin on my next post Nov 18. Hope you stop by. Check out the other new StampTangle holiday stamps at Just For Fun Rubber Stamps.

Miss You

I'm trying to think warm, spring, sunny.... ha,ha,ha.  I know, it's a lost cause in Wisconsin at this time of year, but oh well. This card was created using Just For Fun rubber stamps. It is hard to see in this pic, but the background is a resist. 

If you are in the Madison, WI area the weekend of Nov 15-17, Just For Fun will be represented at the OOAK Rubber Stamp Convention. Click HERE to check out the convention site.

Colorful & Happy

Happy Friday bloggers,

I want to share a Just For Fun Rubber Stamp card with you today. I'm using the StampTangle Border 2. I hope you like it.

I stamped the border on white cs with archival black ink. When dry I cut one side and tore the other side. I added yellow gelato to all edges, spritzed with water and moved around with my finger. Next I added orange gelato and repeated the process. I stayed away from the stamped images as much as possible. I used purple gelato on the images, wet and spread pigment. I dried this very well using the heat gun. Blue colored pencil was added to some parts of the border. At this point I dabbed small spots of versamark ink onto the border and sprinkled white embossing powder and heated. 

Since I used bright colors to start, I thought the message Colorful & Happy... would be appropriate. It was stamped on yellow cs, die cut and edged with distress ink. A leaf flourish was die cut from purple cs and "married" to the tag. Both were attached to a piece of purple cs. Border strip was also attached and entire piece adhered to yellow and then orange.

Turned Blackbird

Hi Everyone and happy Friday to you. 

I have a card for you today that hints of fall. The stamps I've used are from Just For Fun Rubber Stamps. 

The background stamp (J3713) was inked with white ink and stamped on black card stock. I cut 1/2" out of the background and then mounted it onto mustard cs, leaving the same amount of border all around. 

Next I punched a circle out of masking material, placed it onto white cs and rubbed over it with distress inks in honey and broken china. I then stamped the bird (D3703) image in black onto the distressed piece. I trimmed it to the size wanted, leaving just the tiny bit of branch in tact. I trimmed around this with my scissors. I mounted this completed piece onto gold mirri card. This was then popped up onto the card. 

I stamped the message (A3601) onto white cs and cut out using a Spellbinders tag die and inked with distress ink. It was popped up and natural twine was used to secure. 

Stamps Used:
J3713 - StampTangle Pattern Block
D3703 - Turned Blackbird
A3601 - Life is a journey...
