You Are My Sunshine

Hello, and happy Friday!  It's Julie with you today.  I love big, bold sentiment stamps that can be the focal point of a card.  I found this great one in the Great Impressions Stamps store, and fell in love with it. 

This is E876 My Sunshine.  All I did was ink it up, cut it out with a square die cut, back it with another die cut and centered it on the card.

It was a fun, easy card.

This is my last post for Great Impressions Stamps, and I want to thank Deone and Ruza for the wonderful experience!  I have loved every minute and will treasure each of my Great Impressions Stamps. 

Daisy Thinking of You

Greetings, fellow stamp lovers!  It's Julie with you today, hoping you are enjoying some summertime weather where you live.

I have a simple, yet pretty card to share with you today using a Great Impressions Stamp.

This round card uses F326 Daisy Thinking of You, colored with Copic markers.    

Have you entered the Great Impressions Stamps Challenge yet?  You still have a few days.  The theme this month is Masculine. This is the final challenge, so I hope you can enter it!

Hello Summer ...

Good morning! Today is my last post as a Designer for Great Impressions Stamps. I've had an amazing time being on the Design Team for the past 2-yrs, as a Designer and then the Design Team Coordinator. I've worked with many amazing designers while on the Design Team. Shouting out a BIG Thank You to all of the Designers and our awesome Owner Deone. It has been a blast being here and sharing my creations with all of you.

Mabel & Vera Beachin' (J118) was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock, and colored with my Copic Markers. I also used a White Gelly Roll Pen for the swimsuits. Once colored I pulled out my Tim Holtz Distress Inks and created the sand, water, and sky with a dauber. I then added the Hello Summer Sentiment (C366).

I will be back on Sunday, July 2nd, to announce the winner of our LAST Great Impressions Challenge. You still have time to join in the FUN ... we are going Masculine this month! Hop on over for all of the details! We can't wait to see what you create for our FINAL Challenge!

Happy Birthday Sis!

Happy Happy Friday!

Good morning everyone.   Hope you have had a wonderful week and now I have another Friday card for you.

Mable and Vera are off again on a wild adventure.  This stamp is Mable & Vera Cruzin' (J117) and it is paired with Wild! (C478).  This has been colored in Copic markers and placed on an embossed background.  I put that on a paper I made myself using ColorBurst powders and sequins with washi tape on the bottom.  Pop over to my blog for all the details.

I want to remind you there is still a few days to enter our June challenge with this as the prize Now some sad news.  This will be my last post for Great Impressions.   I have truly enjoyed the last six months and I just love our team and our leader Ruza.  I have even learned to stamp better as I have used mostly digis before.  I will miss being part of this team and designing for Great Impressions. Thank you Deone, owner of Great Impressions, for having me on your team! Thanks for visiting and have a blessed day!
Hugs,
Robin

So Wonderful

It's been so much fun being on the Design Team for the Great Impressions Stamps Challenge.

Unfortunately, my 3 month term is all but over.  

For my last card, I've used the Daisy Flourish Stamp (E702)

 and the  So Wonderful Sentiment Stamp (E805).

 

Remember, the current Great Impressions Challenge is still open.

Have you linked up your masculine project, yet? 

Crafty hugs,

Debi

Happy Birthday ...

Good morning! I'm re-sharing a masculine card today that I created last year that features Great Impressions Stamps.

My card features the adorable Seashore Buddies (G488) and Happy Birthday Sentiment (B247). I had an awesome time coloring up the Seashore Buddies with my Copic Markers, and did a bit of paper-piecing to add dimension to the stamped image. A bit of distress ink was applied behind the seagull which adds a bit more dimension to my stamped design.

Have you checked out our Great Impressions June Challenge yet ... we are going Masculine this month! Hop on over for all of the details, and join in the FUN! We can't wait to see what you create this month!

Until next week ... Enjoy!
