I'll Be There

Deb here with my latest post . I made this card for a friend who is having a rough time right now. She has been there for me when I've needed a night of girl talk, so I'm returning the favor with this card. I used 2 of the new August Release stamps - Look Beside You & Little Paint Stroke . These are only 2 of the fabulous new stamps from Technique Junkies .

• The Look Beside You image was stamped on white cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento Dew Drop ink .
• I highlighted the Look Back, Look Ahead and Beside You words with  the Little Paint Stroke stamp. I used Angel Pink, Summer Sky and Dandelion inks.
• I stamped the Look Beside You image again over the paint strokes to make sure the black was crisp. I used my MISTI to stamp this image, but the paint strokes were stamped with an acrylic block for perfect positioning .
• A puffy sticker of a pair of glasses  was placed at the top of the completed stamped image.
• A red puffy heart was placed at the bottom of the stamped panel .
• I adhered the completed stamped panel to a  folded sheet of wood patterned 6x6 paper for a mini slimline card.

I hope that you like this card as much as I do.  It's a perfect stamp for a Thinking of You card, a Friendship card or even for a Sympathy card . It's a great stamp to add to your stash.

Rescued - My Favorite Breed

Deb here to bring you another project using an August Release stamp .  This stamp - My Favorite Breed - shares an important message . There are many animals at Rescue Organizations and Adoption Centers who are patiently waiting for a forever home . Our current cat, Pixie is a rescue animal . And Anna ( Andromeda Cassini ) was our prior sweet kitty that I had for 14 years., also a rescue . This card is a tribute to our sweet Anna .

I have had this pet leash paper for many, many years !! I almost gave it away multiple times but always ended up keeping it . That is one of the reasons I have so many craft supplies ..You invariably need something right after you get rid of it !! So, I keep just about everything .. At least, that's my story and I'm sticking to it !!!

• I stamped the My Favorite Breed  image on a piece of golden cardstock with Lady Bug, Teal Zeal and Tuxedo Black Memento Dew Drops .
• A Pierced Chain Circle Die was used to cut out the stamped image .
• The pet leash paper was cut to fit on a 5x7 Kraft card base . I cut it so it was centered on the card  ( my OCD always kicks in while I am card-making ) .
• I still had the tag from Anna's collar and tied it to the die-cut circle .
• The completed circle was popped up on the front of the card with foam tabs.

I'm still making slow but steady progress with the destashing/decluttering in my craft room . I can even sit at my desk now and create . And believe me, THAT is an accomplishment.. I do have lots more to do in there but I feel a teeny sense of relief.. It was so nice to sit at my desk with my OTT light and create this card . I hope you like it as much as I do. Don't tell Pixie about it or she will want one too  She is a bit of a princess !! 

Stay cool wherever you are , stay creative and Happy Stamping !!

Look Beside You

Happy August! 

My card today features the new Look Beside You. Isn’t it a beautiful quote? I got this fancy schmancy die cut and I believe it is from scrapbook.com. Not as easy as I thought it would be. I wish I could tell you the dp I used, but I can’t! The sentiment was stamped on pink card stock and die cut with a stitched die and placed on dimensionals.
