Cupcake Happy

I promised more Stampendous House-Mouse Designs goodness on my blog today and here it is!  This stamp is called Cupcake Happy and I'm sure you can see why.  If I were a mouse, I would be in heaven if I had a cupcake to enjoy and icing to sleep on!  I don't know, might be awfully sticky!

Blossom Vase & Mixed Mesh

The January 2018 Stampendous Catalog has been released and debuts our new line of 6" x 6" cling rubber stamp line.  For my card today, I've used the awesome Cling Mixed Mesh Rubber Stamp.  It's my personal favorite as it has so many of the fun elements usually created by applying several different layers of techniques.  You get your script writing, bubble wrap, book print and stencil look all in one stamp!  Just add ink, paint, or whatever medium you prefer!  This card also uses Blossom Vase.  I loved the circles on the vase and it was a great way to showcase the circles from the background stamp that ties the two together.  It turned out to be a super bright and happy card that made me smile!

A Little Antiquing Fun

Have you heard about Fran Seiford's new book Stampendous recently released, "Embossing Powder TECHNIQUES from A to Z?"  It's 100 pages of everything you will ever need to know about embossing!  Today I used technique W - Antique Embossing Powder Technique on page 68.  This technique mimics the look of old tin ceiling tiles and is one of my new favorites!

If you need a heat gun to try these embossing techniques, Stampendous now carries the Wagner Embossing Heat Tool.  This has got to be the best heat tool on the market!  I've had one for years and I love it.

For today's card, I've gone a little Western with the Horse and Rider stamp embossed and layered over Leather Flowers background stamp.  My grandfather used to do leather tooling and he created some beautiful pieces, much like this stamp!  I still remember sitting on his lap and "helping."

Here's what I used to create this card:

Stampendous® Horse and Rider

Stampendous® Leather Flowers

Stampendous® Birthday Assortment Perfectly Clear™ Stamps

Stampendous® Cling Industrial

Stampendous® Clear Deep Impressions Chunky Embossing Enamel

Stampendous® Clear Bark Embossing Powder

VersaMark™ Ink Pad by Tsukineko® from Imagine Crafts®

Memento™ Rich Cocoa Ink Pad by Tsukineko® from Imagine Crafts®

DecoArt® Americana® Sand Acrylic Paint

WorldWin® Papers DoubleMates™ in Totally Tan

Carob Cream Smoothies Cardstock by Bazzill Basics Paper®

Zip Dry™ Paper Glue by Beacon
