Vintage Train

Hi all! Hope you are all getting some stamping time in. I have been keeping busy. I have a new card for Carla's color challenge over at STV. Black, Ivory and one other color, our choice.
I used Theresa Momber's stamp set " Life is Good" for this card. By Gina K. Designs.
I used my new Distressed ink by Jim Holtz "Vintage Photo" to give it a aged look. Gina shared some of the things going on over at CHA andone was about using Scor-buddy and Cutterbee Bug. I thought it made perfect looking train tracks.



Card stock is by GKD and I used Spellbinder's and copic's.
My DH and I are going to watch a movie. I will be back tomorrow.
Have a great week-end and thanks for stopping by.

Some Challenge Cards

Hello! Hope you having great Sunday. I have some challenge cards to show you.
This first one is for the color challenge over at Stamp TV, we were to use blue and green.
The cattails are from Theresa Momber's set "Life is Good". by Gina K. Designs.


This card is for Donna's challenge from the Gina K. Designs release party over at SCS. In this challenge we were to make a Valentines card but not to use red or pink.
The image I used in this card is from Gina's stamp kit "Signs of Autumn"



My last card I have to show you is for Selma's "Blast from the Past" challenge over at Stamp TV. This is always fun to do, Selma picks from one of Gina's technique video's, each week is different. This week we were to do some embossing on our card and as a added challenge to put a heart on our card too.
I used the love stamp from Carolyn King's set "Warm Winter Wishes" by Gina K. Designs.


Hope you are enjoying the rest of your weekend and thanks coming by.

Good evening! I have some more cards using "Life is Good" stamp set from Gina K. Designs and illustrator Theresa Momber.

Good evening! Hope you all had a great holiday. We had a great one I got to spend it with my family and that is the best!! I still have family here so this is a fast post. I made this card for Selma Blast from the Past challenge over at Stamp TV. We are to use colored pencils and OMS. I used Theresa Momber's set "Life is Good"by Gina. I also used a technique called cutting outside the box. The card stock is from Gina K Designs.

Life is Good!

Hello! I'm so excited , my daughter Theresa Momber has ask the very talented fabulous Jenny Charboneau ( Miss Boo) and I to be her guest designer for the month, showcasing her wonderful new set "Life is Good" from Gina K. Designs
Theresa is featuring me on her blog tonight and Miss Boo has created something wonderful for you to see. Be sure to check it out!

One of the things I like best about this new set is that it's versatility with all the details in the stamp it self, so very little coloring is needed to make your card look like a work of art! It also is fantastic without any coloring.
Here is my first project, a Christmas card box. Gina has a challenge over at Stamp TV to make a seasonal box.
I used copic's to color the image and nestabilities. I sponged around it using SU Creamy Carmel. Card stock is All Spruced Up by Gina k. and DP is from Me and my big ideas. The ribbon from my stash. The box holds about twelve 41/4 by 51/2 size cards.


Here, I made some masculine bookmarks. Using the elk from "Life is Good"



This is how the inside looks and the back.



I designed the bookmarks after a bookmark I've had around for a long time and I really like but it was a little small. I made this 2 3/4 x 4 1/2, rounded the corners , stamped the Elk in memento black. I added magnets and covered it with some DP I have had around. The card stock is from Gina K. " Tan Leather".

Theresa has my other card featured on her blog. I'm heading over to Miss Boo's blog to see what she has created for us, won't you join me.

Thanks for stopping by.

Blast from the Past Challenge

Hello, I have another challenge card to share with you, this is for Selma's "Blast from the Past" Friday's challenge over at Stamp TV. Selma has selected a video from Gina's tutorial archives called partial embossing using the cuttlebug.

The card I made here is from Theresa Momber's newly released set called " Life is Good" from Gina K. designs. Wait tell you see this wonderful new set, I love it!! She put in the water reflections so all I did was color it then added a little white gel pen and thats it!



If you click on the image you may or may not get a larger view. The image was colored with prisma pencils and OMS. I also used cuttlebug folder and nestabilities and the ribbon is from Gina K. Be sure to check out Selma and Brenda's wonderful samples for this challenge at Stamp TV.
