Peeking in to Wish You Well

Happy Saturday, fellow stamp lovers.  Julie here today, from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers. I LOVE any chance I get to create with these incredible stamps!  Today I played with the fun H264 - Puppy Peeking and matching sentiment E865 - Peeking In. 

  

I colored H264 - Puppy Peeking with Copic markers.  I stamped the sentiment, E865 - Peeking In, at an angle, then tore the paper along the stamp.  I did the same with the backing paper.

Yea!  I have an adorable Get Well card, ready to go.  Anything with a dog theme is a hit with many of my dog-friendly relatives and friends.  We're all a bit pet-crazy!

Have you joined our Birthday with Bling challenge yet at Great Impressions Stamps?  Please do!  It goes all month, and I'd love to see what you make!  Don't forget to shop at the Great Impressions Store, too!  You'll find these 2 stamps, and many, many more!

Spring Peeking Puppy

Happy Friday Great Impressions Stamp Friends!

Kendra from Luv 2 Scrap 'n Make Cards here today to share another adorable card with you!!

I love how this card turned out!

For my main image I used the adorable Peeking Puppy (H264)!!

Isn't this puppy adorable?!

Opened up:

I stamped the Flower Bouquet (J110) on the pretty designer paper and then used my Copics to add color to the image.  Just to make it stamp out a little more.

I also stamped one of the butterflies from the Butterflies and Hearts (E563) stamp on the upper part of the same pattern paper, but this time with a similar ink color to the paper, as I wanted the butterfly to kind of blend it!


A close-up look of the cute puppy:

So adorable!!

Peeking!

Well good morning friends and welcome to Great Impressions today!  I think spring might have actually sprung where I live so I thought why not pull out the fun brighter colors?

I started out with this super cute image called Puppy Peeking H264.  Isn't that puppy just the sweetest?  I love the expression on her face!  I colored her with Copics that are complimentary to the papers.  These papers are some super fun papers that I've had in my stash for awhile and I used a sketch that I found.  I added the twin for an extra little punch of color.

Now on the inside I wanted to the very cute Happy Everything B246 everything stamp but wanted to punch it up a little so I decided on a strip of the complimentary bee paper and stamped the sentiment directly on the paper.  Now, don't forget, to play along with our challenge this month please head over to the page HERE and link it up so we can see!  And, if you use a Great Impressions Stamp link it up to our customer gallery HERE as well!

Coming Your Way...

Hello!

Can you believe it's the third Saturday in April already?

This month has flown by.

It's my day for posting on the Great Impressions Blog, 

and what a fun image this was to work with!

For this card, the following Great Impressions Stamps were used:

Puppy Peeking H264, and Coming Your Way C477, 

The Center Step Card seemed perfect for this darling little puppy.

First, the image was stamped directly onto the center panel.

The flowers, greenery, and butterflies were colored with Copics.

I sponged some green 'grass', and some blue clouds, and then stamped the sentiment.

The image was stamped again onto a white CS scrap.  

It was colored, then the dog and one butterfly were fussy cut, and adhered with dimensional

foam pieces to the center panel. The foam pieces gave his such a realistic appearance!

The last step was to find a cute patterned paper, and cut some strips for the sides and

bottom panels.

As you can see, this image requires very little coloring, and looks so sweet!

Don't forget - about the GI challenges!

A fun challenge for April is going on now. 

If you use GI stamps be sure to link up to the customer gallery (HERE). 

Be sure to stop by the Great Impressions store (HERE) and treat yourself to a few new stamps!

Did you know shipping is free over $25?! 

That's it for today!

Thanks for stopping by,

Patti J.

Wonderful Wednesday with Joni

 I have a new die cut fold card today.

I love the way the oval frames the image.

I stamped the new Stamp of the Month Image H264 Puppy Peeking from Great Impressions.

I colored the image with copics.

I added the sentiment B246 Happy Everything!

Here is the card open!
