It's a Guy Thing

Hello and welcome!  The first and third Monday each month brings another Artsystamper Challenge. The theme this time is It's a Guy Thing.

The winner will receive the stamp set of their choice from TheArtsystamperShop. Beverly Cole’s selections offer stamps and sentiments in each set as well as pre-colored images for easy, last minute cards. Why not take a moment and check out what she has in the store!

I decided to use the Outdoorsman set for my inspiration piece. 

'

I printed off the color digital and chose  black and white on the editing panel.  I  mounted the image on a black mat.  I printed off camouflage digital paper for the background and chose black and white for that as well.  I copied the sentiments and die cut them with a label die and attached tiny brads and popped up the image. Placing it all on a gray piece of card stock completed the card.

                    Hop on over to Artsystamper Digitals Challenge Blog (link) and enter! You will also see more inspiring designs from the Artsystamper Addicts Design Team...so much fun.

Wild and Free

Hello, friends! It's kReN@afourthlife sharing some digital fun with you today at the Artsystamper Challenge Blog. We're focusing on our theme-- Things with Wings -- and I chose images from the Nesting Sparrows set with a sentiment from the Snow Birds set.

I made this project by adding the flying sparrow image and the sentiment from a different set to the branch/nest image. I love that you can mix and match images and sentiments from different sets Bev has designed. Then I die cut the oval and adhered it to the die cut fancy oval frame. The card blank was embossed with a branch and flower folder.

Hearts and Flowers

Hello, friends! It's kReN@afourthlife sharing some digital fun with you today at the Artsystamper Challenge Blog. We're focusing on our theme--hearts and flowers-- and I chose images from the set called Sketched Spring Blossoms. Our theme makes me think of anniversary celebrations. Here's my card.

I made this project by manipulating the images to create a space for the die cut sentiment. Then I printed off another flower to color and pop up.
