Stampin' In Alaska

  I recently received this fabulous masculine stamp set from Unity Stamp Company called Hook, Line & Sunshine .  It's perfect for the fisherman in your life and best of all it's only $12.47 right now! My card design was inspired by Christine Dearinger over on the Unity Show & Tell FB Group . The image was stamped onto kraft card stock and colored with Prismacolor pencils.  It was die cut with Gina Marie stitched square nested dies then layered onto Stampin' Up Chocolate Chip card stock.  The base panel was die cut with wonky stitched die (maker unknown) with paper from The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby).  Inked edges and a coordinating sentiment complete the card. I went clean and simple (no embellishments) as this will be mailed to my father-in-law this week.  He is a fisherman and I think he will like this. I would like to share my card with the following: Simon Says Stamp Monday:  Masculine Simon Says Stamp Wednesday:   Masculine Word ...

  I'm joining the current Art Impressions Challenge with a fun masculine card featuring Catching Z's T4156 and Fish, Bait, Nap G4155 (both retired).  I love Bonnie's adorable people stamps and she has created SO many over the years. This guy is perfect for the fishermen in my family.  The sentiment perfectly coordinates with the image and can be used for birthdays or Father's Day. The image was stamped onto My Favorite Things Smooth White cardstock and colored with Copic Markers.  The die cut image was layered onto papers from Carta Bella The Great Outdoors collection.

  I'm joining the current Summer Time challenge at The Paper Shelter.  Summer in Alaska is all about fishing, camping, hiking and enjoying the outdoors!  I couldn't resist using the adorable When In Doubt..

I very recently became a follower of Your Next Stamp AND I'm hooked! (pun intended) This fun fishing set has been on my wish list and I finally got it last week.  It's perfect for the current sketch challenge and I needed a birthday card for my  FIL who is an avid fisherman. Win, Win!!  I started by stamping the fisherman from Keepin' It Reel on Copic Marker 70 lb Paper. He was stamped again on masking paper, cut out and placed over the original image. The sky was then sponged with Danube Blue Memento ink using a scallop die cut.   Then Pear Tart was sponged for the grass. The image was colored with Copic Markers and I paper pieced the vest with papers from Pink Paislee Outfitters  paper pad.  The scene was layered onto designer paper from the same pad.  The Radiant Sun die is from MFT. I really like how this scene turned out! Thanks for stopping by for a closer look. I'm shar...

Cheryl is taking some much deserved family time for a couple of weeks.  That gave us two week's to make our posts.  It's easy to play along.  Just snap a couple of photos of what you have going on in your area of the world.  It doesn't have to be crafty. DH and I needed a much needed rest this weekend.  So, we packed up the camper, 4-wheelers and dogs and drove north a little ways to one of our favorite camping spots. This was the view from our campsite: We rode about 7 miles up to a small lake where DH did some trout fishing in his new, fancy raft.  Of course, he had some help...... We came back to camp with three small trout which were perfect for my dinner.  DH loves to fish, but doesn't eat fish!  Aren't I lucky?!  :0 Be sure and check the Sassy Cheryl Blog for all of the players.  Lots of crafty, busy gals are posting so you never know what you'll find!

It's another fun week of challenges on the Mo Manning Digital Challenge Blog .  This week we are challenged to make a circle card with our Mo Manning image.  This is what I came up with:  I kept it pretty Clean and Simple as a Happy Birthday to the men in my family.  I have several who are avid fisherman!  This is called "Fishing" and can be purchased in Mo's store HERE .  This is probably one of my favorites!  I love the details of this image and that I can color it or leave it sepia and it always looks so great.  Thanks for stopping by and taking a closer look.

This week's challenge over on Mo's Digital Challenge blog is Stitching - faux or real. I enjoy machine stitching on my projects. It's an inexpensive and easy embellishment. I printing Mo's "Fishing" image for this card. Lot's of sponging with Memento inks and the image is colored with Copic markers. The wave die cut border is from The Cat's Pajamas. This is going to be a retirement congratulations card. Thus, the sign "hung out" that says "Gone Fishing". Thanks for taking a look! Another fun challenge and a great opportunity to win a free Mo Manning digital image.

This week's challenge over on Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge blog is to use Blue. One of my favorite Mo Manning images is " Fishing ". It's so detailed and perfect for the men in my family. A couple of week's ago, DT member Dawn created a sunrise scene with this image. It was so gorgeous that I had to give it a try! The image was colored with Copic Markers, the water with SU watercolor crayons and the sky was sponged with Memento inks. Below is a photo of the inside of this card which is 5.25 square. I made this for my grandfather who is an avid fisherman. He will be 89 years YOUNG next month!

Peggy's our hostess again this week and she's put together a color challenge: Black, white, kraft, and any other colors. I have so many fishmen and women in my family (including me!) that I just had to have Mo's Fishing image. I colored the image with Copic Markers. I used Stampin' Up Watercolor crayons and blender pen for the water. I masked off the digi image then sponged Stampin' Up! So Saffron, Only Orange and Almost Amethyst inks for the sky. I had the tackle on my desk and found this salmon in my stash. My husband and I mostly fly fish for salmon, but I also love lake fishing when I get the chance! Thanks for stopping by!
