Happy Birthday Old Cluck

 Hi, well, today I am playing with some older stamps that have not had love in quite a while.  Mark's Finest Paper closed several years ago, but I still love many of their stamps, especially this 2012 set called "Flaps my Waddles".  My Chicken Wire background stamp had not seen the light of day for awhile so I decided to use it with the fun Chicks.   It was fun playing with them again.  



I used different Stampin' Up paper on them and slightly changed the design on the first one from the second one.

Thank you, for coming by and taking a look at these sweet chicks that the mailman will be delivering in the mail soon.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Pine Tree Trio

 Hello, Friends,  today I am sharing a couple of cards that I made  with the NEW Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Pine Tree Trio Set.  


The first card was made by stamping the Pine Tree Trio trees and the birds from the Silhouette Tree and Eagles set on white card stock.  I then used a Heidi Pettie Cloud stencil and turquoise ink to apply the clouds.

The second card was made by stamping the Winter Barn stamp on white card stock.  I colored it with Copic markers.  I stamped the trees around the barn and stamped the sentiment on the barn from the Christmas Koala stamp set.  I used the cloud stencil and same into make the sky and I also sponged turquoise ink around on the ground and the roof of the barn.

Once again, I thank you for stopping in to see my cards, I appreciate your visits.  Have a wonderful week.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Panda Bamboo

Well, my friends, here it is August and it is time that school will be starting next week and for some the week after, in our neighboring towns.   It seems like school starts earlier every year.  Long, long, ago, when I went to school, we did not start until after Labor Day, if I am remembering correctly.  :)

Today I have two cards to share with you that I made with the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Panda Bamboo set.  It comes with the image and a sentiment.


For this card I found this awesome origami paper in my stash.  I found another piece of designer paper that matched well with the origami paper that I stamped my image and sentiment on.  I used a Copic marker to color the bamboo.  The panda looked a little blue so I used a white marker on him.  I used my Cloud Stencil to make the clouds.

I stamped the image and  the Sorrowful Pup sentiment on white card stock.  I used the cloud stencil to make the clouds.   I cut the sentiment out and adhered it  over the clouds. 

Thanks, so much, for dropping in for a visit.  I appreciate you dropping by.  I hope you have a wonderful week.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Bamboo Borders

 Hello, I am back today with cards made with Blue Knight Rubber Stamps. I am using the NEWLY released Bamboo Borders Stamp set.



I chose to use a piece of Designer Paper from my stash to show off the Bamboo.  I used one full stamp of Bamboo on one side of the paper and a partially stamped Bamboo on the other side.  I thought stamping the sentiment in between them was a perfect way to showcase this set.


For this card I used a piece of designer paper and then stamped the Bamboo on one side of it.  Next I took the Blue Knight Rectangle Stencil and Stamp Thru Set and filled the stencil in used a color of ink compatible with the paper.  Once the ink was done, I stamped the Delightful Dandelions sentiment over it.  I used the thicker stencil to make the mask and the thinner stencil to stamp the image.

Thank you, all, for coming by today for a visit.  It is always good to have you here. Have a great week.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Fence and Daisies

 Hello, Friends.  I am sharing cards today by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps called Fence and Daisies. This set comes with 2 images, the main fence image and a sentiment.


I started this card by stamping the image on a piece of White Card Stock.  I stamped the fence image  and colored with Copic Markers.  I added the silhouette dogs image and the branches from  The Grove stamp set. I added the clouds using a Heidi Pettie Cloud Stencil and Tempting Turquoise ink.

This card was made the same as the first one, I just colored it in different colors and the branches were made using the Eagles and Foliage Stamps.

I hope you liked the cards and please come back for a visit again soon.  Have a wonderful week.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Bird Song

 Hello, Friends.  I hope all is well with you.  The summer is passing by so rapidly.  It is hard to believe it is the middle of July.  August is approaching at record speed, it seems.    

Today I am sharing cards that I made using the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps new stamp called "Bird Song".


I started this card by taking a piece of designer paper from my stash that has a wood look to it.  I visioned making the fence look something like Patina.  It doesn't look exactly the way I wanted, but you get the picture, right? :) I used distress inks and sponged them on the fence.  I stamped the Bird Song Image on the fence, I used the Eagle and Foliage stamp on the top of the fence.  I proceeded to stamp in  the
Wedding Couple stamp to complete the main panel.


I started this card by stamping the Bird Song Stamp on the Land and Sea Designer Paper.   TheBranches at the top were created using the Silhouette Cattails stamp.   I stamped the sentiment using an older Blue Knight Set.

Thank you, for coming by today.  It is always a treat to see you.

Blue Knight Cattails and Lily Pads

Good Morning, Friends.  Hope this finds you all well after the holiday weekend.  My dogs are probably happy it is over.  My Boxer does not care for the loud fireworks.   The Doodle girls seem to do okay with them.

Today I am sharing cards that I made using the Blue Knight Cattails and Lily Pads.  I really enjoyed coloring them.


I stamped the images on white card stock and colored them with Copic Markers.  I used a Heidi Pettie Cloud Stencil to make the clouds.  It is amazing how different they look by using different color of markers on them.

Thank you, for stopping in and I hope you have a great week.
