Honey Run

~ sproatmeyer ~ 4 Comments

I reached for a rubber stamp to create a guy card this week for the new challenge at LMMS.  It’s anything goes and you can use any stamp – so pop on over and share one of your projects today. 

The stamp I used is Honey Run which is a DoveArt Designs stamp by Jennifer Dove.

My desk is a mess right now, no surprise, so I mainly grabbed what was on the surface.  This included the back part of a map which listed city names and pages.  I would have used the front but it was too colorful for the papers I selected, however, this side works great.  

I’d like to share this in the following challenges:  
Artistic Inspirations – Anything Goes
Crafting from the Heart – Anything Goes
Craft Your Passion – Anything Goes
Get Creative – Stitching

Winter Pine Grove

One of the things I like to do is to recycle the stamp label and create a card out of it.  No sense in letting it go to waste and it makes for a quick project.  This time I used the label from the Winter Pine Grove by DoveArt Designs.  I had already colored this stamp on kraft paper, which you can see HERE.  It was refreshing to work with lighter colors for more of a true winter pine grove feel.

We’re having a new release promotion going on this weekend and you can read all the details on the LMMS Blog.  There are prizes to be won as well along with all the fabulous creations from the Little Misses!

For my project I used Winter Pine Grove and decided to focus on it as the main image rather than the background.  However, it would go well either way!  I colored it with Prismacolor Pencils on Kraft paper because I really wanted the white to stand out.  The papers are from a Bo Bunny Christmas stack and the embellishments were odds ‘n ends from around the desk.  Sometimes it helps to have a messy desk!  LOL

Make sure to see what the other Little Misses have created and thanks for dropping by my blog today!  Have a great weekend – especially for those on holiday.  🙂

Old West Locomotive

I wanted to share another project I made with one of the new DoveArt Designs stamps that was added to the LMMS shop.  This one was perfect for another male’s birthday card so I went with black and white coloring and then put in colors with the paper.

There is still one more day to join the blog hop – HERE –
– there are only 8 stops and each project is fantastic!

I’ve used the Old West Locomotive by DoveArt Designs and the Happy Days Tab Sentiment by Make it Crafty, both available at Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  The paper pack I used was Jack and Jill by Echo Park.

Gone Fishing

CC Designs released new DoveArt Design stamps last week and now I’ve added them to Little Miss Muffet Stamps this week.  The Little Misses are celebrating with a blog hop, prizes and a weekend sale.  Booyah!  Below you’ll find all the hop links but also make sure you stop at the LMMS Blog for all the details on the prizes.  Plus you’ll spot the coupon code for 20% off your order!  Can you say savings?!

For my project, I’ve used Gone Fishing and created a boy’s birthday card.  This truck reminded me of one that my grandfather had.  His was a light blue but it was completely rusted – so rusted that the metal had holes in it.  I thought it was fascinating! So in tribute to that, I decided to color this truck blue as sort of a younger version of the truck.

The card I kept simple but I added a little sentiment on the bottom using the Happy Days Tab Sentiment with accompanying chipboard embellishment. Then I doodled on the card and tied it up with some multicolored twine.   Hope you like it and thanks for joining the hop!

Himalayan Poppy

Gasp!  You wont believe it but I cheated on this project!  LOL  I know, I know, cheating is bad so we’re just going to call this a “shortcut” instead.  He he he

After receiving the Himalayan Poppy rubber stamp (available at Little Miss Muffet Stamps, ahem), I saw how gorgeous Jennifer colored the sample on the product label.  So I decided to use that and create this card!  I’ve done this with The Greeting Farm before (click HERE to see).  How could I let that go to waste?  So I selected a metal die that fit the best and designed the rest of the card around it.  I even used some Make it Crafty chipboard embellishments (the bird) and the new C.C. Designs Cutters Music Border Die that I got!  (Also available in the LMMS shop, just saying.)

Hope you enjoy this project and that it gives you some ideas!  Thanks for stopping by.
