Theresa Momber: Life is Good

Good evening! I have some more cards using "Life is Good" stamp set from Gina K. Designs and illustrator Theresa Momber.
In this first card I used two of Theresa's sets "Happy Camper" the mountains in the back of cabin and "Life is good".




The card here I sponged the sky using SU So Saffron and Creamy Carmel.
The card stock is from Gina K. Designs and the DP is from my stash.
In this card I used "Life is Good" and Melanie Muenchinger's "Hip to be Square" for the window. Both set are available at Gina K. Designs.















The green misty card is sponged on Gina K. pure luxury card stock. I just sponged a darker green around to give it a misty look.
The sentiment I used is "Very Merry Christmas"
another set by Theresa. I made this card just before Christmas and didn't get to post it.





Tonight Theresa is featuring her guest designer Miss Boo (a.k.a. Jen 70) Jenny is a fantastic card maker and artist. She also is wonderful at making CAS cards. For more inspiration using Theresa's "Life is Good" check out Jenny's and Theresa blog.

Thanks for stopping in and have a wonderful night.

Life is Good Blog Hop!

Hello! Tonight we are sharing projects using Theresa Momber's beautiful new set "Life is Good" from Gina K. Designs.
This is a fantastic set and I love it!




For this card I used two of the images from "Life is Good" and the mountain image from "Happy Camper" another set by Theresa Momber. I sponged the sky and used copic's. All card stock is Gina K.




On this card I used that wonderful train, from "Life is Good" The train is fantastic as a stand alone image or you don't have to color it at all. I also used Nina Brackets set " Vintage Borders" as the back drop for the train. The holly and senitment is " Very Merry Christmas" by Theresa Momber.



On my last project I made a shade for my Luminary from Febreze. I just took apart the shade that came with it to use as a template. Very easy! I stamped the elk on some vellum , used nestabilities for the ovals. The snowflakes are from Theresa's " Very Merry Christmas" I stamped them using versa mark, sponged on SU bashful blue . This can be put over a flameless candle and if anyone wants the measurements just let me know. I used the scor-pal and scor-pal tape.

Embossed on Glass Ornaments

Hi, I'm back! I was going to spend today cleaning my stamping area and do some commenting. and if I had time maybe some house work!!
Didn't do any of that!! Noooooo, I played.
A few years ago my daughter Brenda showed me how to stamp on these ceramic ornaments. We spent a lot of time painting on them and they turned out very nice. I made a lot to give to friends.
I picked up some at Michaels the other day, they are $1.29 each. I embossed on them with super fine gold powder from Gina K.
You have to be careful, the glass does get a little hot.
The second photo from the top is a photo of whats on the back of each of the ornaments.
Supplies: embossing buddy, gold embossing powder, stones, and VersaMark
Stamps :
A Very Merry Christmas by Theresa Momber from Gina K.
"Holiday Cheer" stamp kit by Gina K.
"A Year of Flowers" by Melanie Muenchinger from Gina K.
A tip about this make sure to use plenty of the buddy because the powder really sticks to it.
Have a good day.

Good evening, I'm pleased to show you a sampling of Theresa Momber's newest stamp set "Very Merry Christmas" from Gina K. Designs. This is the best yet!! I love all of Theresa's sets but I think I like this one the best.
The top card is pretty much a basic card. All card stock is from Gina K. I used copic's to color the image and brads are from Gina K. I used nestabilities and Encore! Metallic gold .

The next card using more of the images from Theresa's set. I stamped the fireplace image on a some DP from Basic Gray colored it with copic's. I colored in the window with a dark blue and added white dots for the stars. I then added some copper sticker tape around the Mantle and drew in some candles for on top of the Mantle. The tree was colored and cut out. I used nestabilities for the sentiment and rubbed gold around that using metallic rub-ons. I paper pieced the curtains.

Halloween Time

Hello, we sure had a powerful storm last night, but I think it's on it's way east!! So look out!!
I have another card here using Melanie's wonderful new set " Hip to be Square" I just can't say enough about this set! I sponged and masked the background and used some clear stamps I've had around. A tip about the window: I stamped the window on some acetate using StazOn in black, then after it dried. I then used it as a guide to how images would look on the card, you can even stamp on it using like a dye ink and then just wipe it off. Hope you like my card.
Tonight Theresa Momber is having a blog hop featuring her newest set "Very Merry Christmas" This is a wonderful set and one of my favorites, so if you chance check all the wonderful samples. It will start at 8:00pm PST.
