Floating By . . .

. . . to say "Hi" to someone special. I had an earlier post that was an Easter spinner card. While I was in the groove, I decided to make another spinner card using the Out at Sea stamp by QKR Stampede. This card was watercolored and the stamped image and oval border were cut using Nestability dies and the Cuttlebug. Designer papers on this card are by Chatter Box.

And a close-up of him floating and bobbing by . . .

More to come this week, including some sneak previews for Friday's Blog Hop. In case you missed that post, be sure to go here to read about the hop this Friday, April 9. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Friend

Doesn't this little guy look like he's paddling about looking for his friends? Here is  a card using the Out at Sea stamp image from QKR Stampede. As with the In the Rain stamp image seen here, I have watercolored this image and applied crystal lacquer to the water. "Hello Friend" was cut using the Friends Forever cut and emboss set and my Cuttlebug.

Stay tuned, there's more to come! Thanks for stopping by!

Out at Sea

I have been having a blast with my QKR Stampede stamps. The stamps are exceptional quality and the more I peruse the website, the more creative possibilities I see. I must admit, I have put together quite a wish list. This is a card that I created with the stamp Out at Sea. Look at this cute little guy just paddling about in his little "boat", battling the waves! The waves were created using my Cuttlebug and the D'Vine Swirls embossing folder. For the waves, I used just two pieces of 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" card stock (one in each shade of blue). After embossing, I cut the first (front) piece, layered the second right behind it and cut, then did the same with the other halves of each piece of card stock. I popped every other set of "waves" using pop dots, sponged the sun and the clouds and tucked this little guy in there. I hope he stays afloat!

There will be more to show later.  Thanks for stopping by!
