Kindred Stamps Rock On - Happy Birthday Freddie

Today I want to celebrate what would have been the 75th birthday of this legend. I actually made this card for a friend and he loved it.  I am super happy about the renewed interest in Freddie thanks to the movie, Bohemian Rhapsody.  That reminds me of the scene from Wayne's World in the car...lol  I really wish I owned that Kindred Stamps set.  If you are about my age I don't need to say anymore, if not here's a video.

I colored my image to match a photo, next time I will change up the clothing colors.

I threw it together pretty quickly but I like how it turned out.

Ingredients:

Kindred Stamps Rock On stamp set

Close to my Heart Rock On stamp set

DCWV Rockstar paper stack

Stitched Hex dies

Frantic Stamper Stitched Corner Cut tags

misc alcohol markers including Spectrum Noir Pewter

Memento Tuxedo Black ink

Have a Righteous Day! with The ScrapRoom's Freaky Fast Formula

I just love The ScrapRoom Blog's Freaky Fast Formula's!  I find them so much fun with which to work especially when you have some great double sided papers. I used papers from a ScrapRoom kit.  And if you read yesterday's post of the corresponding page you would know the photo is of vegetarian biscuits, sausage and gravy, yum!

Here is The ScrapRoom Blog's Freaky Fast Formula for May:

I cut a 2" circle from black to spruce it up I added enamel dots.  I inked all the edges with black chalking ink.

I made a pocket out of the 4x12 piece.  I then adhered the 4x4 piece on the left side. My 4x4 just happened to be the size of a journal panel.  I used the label included in the embellishment pack of the kit to designate the menu.

Ingredients:

The ScrapRoom Single Shot kit:  Fancy Pants Designs Good Fellows

enamel dots included in kit

Quick Quotes Midnight Confessions Powderpuff Chalking ink

orange pen

Thank you for visiting today.

Just beecause...Stampin Up, Graphic 45 and acetate card

Good morning!  I am showing off a card I made for a swap today.  The theme of the swap was acetate.  It is hard to discern from the photos but there is a layer of acetate behind the honeycomb die cut.  I used mostly Stampin Up products but the sunflower paper in the back is Graphic 45.

I cut an opening in the center of a standard A2 card that was just a fraction smaller than the honeycomb die cut.  I cut the acetate just a fraction larger so the die and the card and a layer behind their junction for stablility.  I stamped and embossed the bees then fussy cut them.  I stamped the sentiment and layer the sunflower paper on the inside of the card.  

Ingredients:

Stampin Up Dragonfly Dreams stamp set

Stampin Up die

Graphic 45 paper

American Craft black ink

Judikins clear embossing powder

Quick Quotes Desert Sun chalking ink

green and yellow card stock

acetate

Creative Memories Virtual Crop projects

On Saturday I played along with the Creative Memories Virtual Crop.  I completed all 6 of the challenges.  You can find the specifics here.  This first layout uses Kiwi Lane Designer templates and the Creative Memories Peacock Power Palette.  I would like to enter it in the The Studio Challenge (open until 4/9) to cover half the page with patterned paper.

I completed several pages in my honeymoon album.  These two using Creative Memories Peacock Power Palette.  The end is in sight!

I would like to enter the layout below in the following challenge:

http://kcclayoutchallenges.blogspot.com/2017/03/lm-337-use-5-different-pattern-papers.html until 3/31

I won top 3!

I was pleased the least with this card.  The stamp messed up a little even with my Misti.  I needed to post by the timed deadline so I left it.  I have thought about stamping again and putting on top with pop dots to fix the problem.

This challenge was for a border, I turned it into a layout that I will reveal soon.

This is the one layout that is not from my honeymoon album.  The challenge involved pinwheels and I already had these red, white and blue ones made from a Quick Quotes monthly kit last year.

Back to my honeymoon and this challenge was a sketch with the twist to create a custom made background.  I used some very old papers and a hex punch.  I would like to enter this layout in the following challenge:

Holly Jolly Hex Card

Hello, Alicia posting today with a hex card inside the Spellbinders Hexagon Pinwheel Top Box.  I used holly paper and pearls to make this festive shaped mini card.

I created the perfect fitting hex card by using the hex die itself.  I folded a scrap piece of paper and traced the inside of the die leaving the fold inside the hex.  I then fussy cut leaving the folded side uncut.  I traced it again on another patterned paper and simply cut it about an eighth an inch shorter on all sides.I added a sticker and pearls to finish off the card. It slips inside perfectly!

Give Thanks Blog Hop

Welcome to the Give Thanks Blog Hop!

Today's hop is sponsored by

Today's hop is full of great projects all about Thanksgiving and being thankful.

So let's get hopping!

I decided to create some monochromatic (orange) thank you cards.
The first card I used "word art".  I gathered up all my "thank you" stamps and placed them on a clear block larger than my background.  This was NOT my first attempt.  I learned some valuable information.  Not all clear stamps are the same depth!  Therefore, several "thank you's" didn't stamp.  After I learned this I took off all the thinner ones and just stamped the thicker ones.  Then I placed the thinner ones in place on the block and took off the thicker ones.  Finally getting my desired look!  I found the centerpiece when I search hexagon cards on Pinterest.

I used 4 colors of orange ink and several hex stamps from both Stampin Up and Close to My Heart stamp sets and my trusty old Creative Memories hex punch.

 On the last card I created a window.  I punched the spot where the hex should be then used the same hex (trimming a bit so it would pop through) to stamp the sentiment.  I used pop dots and mounted the sentiment hex on the inside of the card!  Kind of a peek a boo effect.

Ingredients:

Stampin Up Pumpkin Pie, Dusty Durango

Distress Spiced Marmalade

Ranger Adirondack Butterscotch

Close to my Heart Honeycomb & Always Grateful

Stampin Up Six Sided Sampler set

Creative Memories hex punch

Spellbinders hex dies

Vanilla card stock

Creative Memories patterned paper

misc ribbon

misc flower
