Repeat Impressions Stamps- Anything goes Challenge

Hi Everyone, today at The House that Stamps Built for Repeat Impressions stamps we have a new
Anything goes Challenge starting.
I'm sad to say that this is the last Repeat Impressions Challenge that i'll be participating in. I've officially stepped down from the Design team after this post. I'm going to miss my Rock Star teamies and all of the wonderful stamps, but feel that it's time to move on for now. You will be seeing the stamps that i own on various projects though.

A Winter Birthday card!

Hi Everyone, today i would like to share a card that i made using a Great Impressions Stamp that i've had for awhile called Chickadee on Winter Branch.  If you follow me you know that i really want to watercolor. lol! I just love the look so, with that said, I water colored this stamped image with my Stampin'up and Marvy Uchida markers, and brush after stamping it onto Watercolor paper with Staz-on Black ink. The Snow i raised with a 3D snow that i found at Walmart and then i added a "Snow" glitter over the top while it was wet, The happy Birthday sentiment is a die from QuicKutz with the same "Snow" mix as above.

Project of the week for Repeat Impressions Stamps

Hi everyone, Deonna here, I'd like to share a 
Quilted, embossed Christmas Card with all of you today. 

This will be my last Project of the week with Repeat Impressions for awhile. After much deliberation, I've chosen to step down off the design team.  I just think that i need a break for awhile. That doesn't mean that i may never be back.  I may be begging to come back. lol!
Anyway, let's just get started with my tutorial. 



Supplies

RI Stamps- 9402U Quilt frame
9403P Quilt Background- I cut all of mine apart.
9404H Our Friendship, 9408H Friendship quilt square.
Cardstock base- baja Blue Cut at 4 1/4" x 11"
Red Cardstock at least 4 1/4" x 5" and a scrap for the sentiment
Embossing stamp pad
Black detail embossing powder-Recollections
Heat Tool
Paper trimmer
Black ink- Ranger Archival
"Let it Snow" Patterened paper pieces- 5 to 6 different prints.
Scissors
Powder tray or piece of Scrap paper
Glue 



1.  Gather the above supplies and stamp using Stamp # 9402U -Quilt Frame onto the Red cardstock using the black ink. Trim the Square out leaving 1/4" border around the image. Set aside.




2.  Gather various pieces of Coordinating patterned paper that you want to use. (This would be a good time to use your scraps) 

Using your embossing ink, powder tray and black embossing powder, stamp each of the individual stamps from the quilt background 9403P that were used on the Quilt frame 9402U (above is step 1) 
With the embossing ink - Stamp each of the corners onto your chosen patterned paper. Stamp twice with one scrap and twice with another patterned paper. You will need to stamp 4  of each of the same design for the last 2. Add embossing powder and heat Set. 




3.  Once each square is embossed, cut each of them out using your scissors and set aside. 


4.  Repeat step 2 and 3 with the square stamp 9408H  Friendship quilt square. Stamp the image with Embossing ink onto 2 different patterned papers. Cut out the entire stamped image of the first and just the star center of the second. set aside. 


5.  Stamp and emboss the sentiment 9404H- Our Friendship onto a piece of Red Cardstock. Trim into a square.  Trim a piece of Patterned paper slightly larger then the sentiment. 



6.  Lay each piece onto the stamped quilted square on the red cardstock from step 1. Make sure that your paper pattern is going the direction that you desire and glue each one down over the top of the base stamped image. Glue the star onto the center square and glue into the center of the quilted square. Glue the entire quilted square onto your blue card base. Glue down the sentiment and embellish as desired. 








 I chose to only add some buttons that i had in my stash. 
Finished Card


Have a wonderful day!
