Anything Goes...

Yes, it's Anything Goes week here at Woodware and today I decided to share a card I created using a TESSLER Stencil AND a WoodwareUSA Set. Did you know that Tessler Stamps stock WoodwareUSA Clear Magic Stamps in their show booths? Yep, that's right! You can pick up your stamps, your stencils, your supplies...The whole shabang in one quick stop at a convention or show.

While in Virginia Beach a few months ago, I picked up some fun stencils (they also emboss in my Cuttlebug) and knew I was going to go to town!!! I picked up this marigold or mum (depending on the season, I guess) Embossing Queen stencil called Heart Flower and I really love using it. It makes awesome backgrounds and fun little embellishments. After stenciling it with distress inks and embossing it in my Cuttlebug, I decided to pair it up with my Garden Greetings Sentiment and little bee to make this card! FUN huh?


Don't you just adore that little bee? It is included in this fun sentiment set that with a variety of flowers, garden bugs and of course, a watering can!!! LOVE IT!!! I paired up my images with some deelish Crate Paper patterned paper and some brown grossgrain ribbon. Such a simple and fun card to make!!!

Make sure you stop by tomorrow to see Anne finish up the week with her "Anything Goes" creation, then remember, starting MONDAY, You'll see a brand spankin' new blog post...FULL of fun projects by the Design Team to inspire you, challenge you, and encourage your creative spirit!!! Join the fun. There just might be a prize in it for you!!!

Bye for now,

Anything Goes...

Kerry here for another post this Saturday. Somehow I couldn't post with Nancy's post today so I had to do another one! WIERD! Anyway, I decided to use some of my new purchases from the CK Convention in VA Beach last Saturday. I picked up lots of new stamp sets, WoodwareUSA Ink, tons of patterned paper, and some fun stensils from the Tessler booth. Did you know that TesslerStamps.com is now carrying the WoodwareUSA clear stamps at conventions? If not, check them out the next time you visit their store or their booth.

For this card, I used the stamp set PATCH ALPHABET and an EMBOSSING QUEEN brass stencil from Tessler Stamps. I put the stencil through my Cuttlebug to quickly create the embossed "Quilt" on white cardstock, then used some chalks to add a bit of color. The letters were colored using Gamsol and colored pencils. Notice the little stamped flowers from the Patch Alphabet set on the little quilt squares? I stamped those with the new ink from WoodwareUSA called BLUE CHUNKS! FUN. The ink is a basic grade pigment ink but it reminds me of how my Versacolor inks stamp. To finish the card off, I handwrote the welcome with my black Copic fineliner marker.

Hope you have a fabulous week and stop by tomorrow for another example of Anything Goes!
