Ink. Stamp. Repeat.

 

Howdy!  It's time for another fun Saturday Challenge over on the Three Room Studio blog.

This week's challenge is use "repeat stamping" somewhere on your project.

For my CAS card I used the coffee mug from the "One More Chapter" to create the background. then I stamped, coloured and fussy cut out the cup from the "Awesome Coffee" stamp set. My sentiment is from a mix of stamps from the "Simple Sentiments" collection. 

Come join us for our challenge this week!  We'd love to see what you create and share.   Click HERE for all the details.

Have a great rest of your weekend!  Happy creating!

Zoodle Love


Good morning and welcome to another fabulous and fun Saturday Challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!  Are you ready for another fun and krafty challenge to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing? We've got some fabulous ideas for you and can't wait to see what you create!
 
This week, Krafty Girl Danielle is your hostess and her challenge theme for you is:
Use a Pun on your project!
 
For my PUNNY card I decided to go with all the fun animals from the "Zoodles" stamp set!  I just love all these funny critters and characters.  I drew them a Zoo scene to go with my punny sentiment - also part of the "Zoodles" stamp set... except I changed the "thanks" in the sentiment to the word "love" (from the "Long in the Tooth" stamp set).
 

I also used the fun "Wonderful Waves Stencil" and some Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo and created a holographic zebra back ground for my fun shaker card filled with fun heart embellishments and sequins.

Club Canvo ~ More February Spreads!

 

TGIF!  Welcome back!  Today I'm going to share a few more of my February Canvo spreads with you.

Our Club Canvo includes the following products now available for individual purchase:

All these products are perfect for card making too! Plus Catherine also has a coordinating die set for the Build-a-Terrarium set, right here.

For week #2, I decided to use a little bit more traditional cacti colors; Green Tea, Skylight, Sauna and Sage.  Aren't those little terrariums adorable?


For this spread, I went back to those fun new Date Night inks!

MY BULLET JOURNALING ESSENTIALS

For me, I have a must-have stamp set list.  there are all the stamps that I use on a regular basis when creating my bullet journaling spreads.  Here are my must-have's:

  1. January Notes - this mini stamp set includes numbers that are PERFECT for adding all those calendar dates.  
  2. Days Many Ways - this 4x6 stamp set has the days of the week spelled out in a few different fonts which is always fun for spreads.
  3. Year Round Essentials - this 4x6 stamp set also contains the days of the week but it also has the months of the year on it.
  4. Half Calendar Stencil - this stencil is perfect for creating a calendar spread that crosses 2 pages.
  5. Full Calendar Stencil - this stencil is great for creating a calendar on one single page.

Thanks for stopping in!  I hope you get crafty soon!

Club Canvo ~ February 2021 ~ Cute Cacti!

 

Happy Thursday everyone!  Today is my hubby's birthday but due to lock down here in Alberta, we'll be celebrating low key!

If you have subscribed to the Club Canvo from Catherine Pooler Designs then your February subscription should be in your hands!

Let's get started with my February full calendar spread...


This spread includes some of our brand new CP inks!!! I've used Catching Rays, In the Park, Serenade and Do-si-do!  YUM!  

Next up, I have a habit tracker for the month using the amazing new stencil in the February bundle.  The stencil contains enough triangles in it to do a month with 31 days.  I chose to modify the number of triangles to make it fit 28 days plus a title block. 


Let's look at my first weekly spread for February...

The first week of February happens to have only 6 days so I took advantage of those empty rectangles to make a topic post and a fun "Notes" area.  Don't you love that fun garden box stamp?  You can fill it with all kinds of the sweet succulent stamps! I also used more of our new inks on this spread; Do-si-do, Serenade, Pucker Up and Drive-in!

Want to find out more about the Club Canvo subscription, CLICK HERE.

Join me again tomorrow for a final few spreads!  Have a great day!
