Quietfire Blog Hop for Christmas

Thank you so much for stopping over and joining all of us on the 

Quietfire Stamps Design Team for a fun blog hop to share some of the 

new stamps just released for Christmas.  If you just started today be sure

and check back on the blog for Mon and Tuesday for a chance to win lots of prizes

 and meanwhile I get to share something fun today with all of you that i did.

I actually had a different idea in mind but somehow like most things

i do it evolved to become this huge wooden snowflake that i could put

up in my house to decorate.  I bought the snowflake from my local hobby

store and decided not to paint it this time.  I did cut papers from Spellbinders

dies to fit the center and on that i stamped my image and embossed it with

a really pretty red glitter embossing powder.  Then i used Fired Brick distress

ink to create a border inside.  To finish it i cut out lots of snowflakes from

the 2013 Spellbinders Snowflake die and i glittered it all up with rhinestones

and glitter from Stampendous.  It was one of those fun messy kind of

crafty projects i did while listening to my favorite Christmas carols so

it was really, really fun to do!

Here is a close up so that you can see the stamp better.  It is called

Good Friends are like Snowflakes and you can buy it here.

I have another quick project that i did with the new Merry Christmas

stamp set.  In this one you get 6 gorgeous styles of the word and each

is different and will make your projects unique and beautiful. I layered

lots of dies in ivory cardstock and added little touches of gold on the

flowers and with the photo corners to match the sentiment.  I hope that

you like what i did and it inspired you to create something fun too.

So how do you win the prizes.. just read a little further...your almost there.

Quietfire Design and Dreamweaver Stencils Day 5

Hi Everyone and welcome to the last day of our hop with

all the talented ladies on the Dreamweaver Design Team.

 Today we are all sharing projects that we did

with some of the wonderful products that both Quietfire Design
stamps carries and the wonderful stencils and products from
Dreamweaver... It was really alot of fun and there are lots
of ways that you can use the products.. so are you ready?

The first part of my project is a box that I got from Prima

that I painted and then used some chalk ink on and the Dreamweaver

FX powders around the edges to antique it a little bit.  I wanted to create

a really pretty box to hold the book that is the next part of my

project today to put all the photos and fun things that we

do during the fall times at our house....

I Cut/Embossed 3 layers of dies in different colors to match

the flowers. On the top right- the ivory cardstock piece I stenciled

the tree stencil with green ink and embossed it.  Then I added some

distress ink in orange and green and rubbed some of
the orange FX powders into the backround of the tree
with a dauber too.  It's hard to photograph but

it has a really pretty autumn glow to it.  The letters

are adhesive and I glued then onto the tree when it was dry.
The Spellbinders dies I used for it are S5-157 Labels Eighteen,
S5-191 Decorative Labels Twenty-eight and S4-310 Labels Eighteen.
All of them you can get from Quietfire Design website here.

The second part of my project is a quick and easy

book that you can buy or make with chipboard and a 

ruler.  The papers are from Bo Bunny Apple Cider Collection
 and the book fits just perfect inside of the box.  

For my book I used the Quietfire Design stamp #6285
and I stamped it in dark brown ink and embossed it and
then used a foam applicator and stenciled it orange ink
around the inside edges to frame it.  Here is the words on it.

Here is a photo of some of the fun products that the generous

Dreamweaver Company gave us to use.  Thank you so much

for joining us on the hop and be sure and leave a comment so

you have a chance to win some of the fun prizes!

Wonderful News!!

Hello Everyone.. I have some wonderful, exciting news..

I recently got the chance to do a few guest spots for

a wonderful stamp company called Quietfire Designs and they

asked me and my friend Debbie to stay on the team with them!!

So very exciting--- and they are connected with Spellbinders 

so its the perfect match for me... and I love Calligraphy

so that is perfect too.  Today I want to share a brand new die

that came out this morning at CHA called S4-414 Captivating Squares.

It's a beautiful intricate die and I thought it would be fun to layer it

and turn it on it's side to see what would happen. 

I really like how it came out and kind of looks like a star.

The Quietfire stamp I used is from the Happy Birthday set #5905.

And I used lots of pink patterned papers and pink flowers to go with it

so it's super bright and cheerful.

Sometimes to get the right color of ink I mix things together

and for this I mixed Versamark Rose Red and Versafine Satin Red.

They mixed well and still gave me a fine image of the letters.

 I stenciled inside the top piece after I embossed the sentiment and

popped up the layers to really show off the dies!

Be sure and check back this week for lots more samples

and die previews from CHA. You are going to love them all

they are really, really fabulous this time again !!!  They have a live

stream coming from CHA at 10 today so be sure and check it out!

Take care and have a great day,

Teresa

Quietfire card to share

Hi Everyone.. I have a quick card to share today with

a new stamp that I got from Quietfire Designs.

The stamp is part of a beautiful set that comes with 

the outside oval edge stamp and 3 smaller stamps for inside. 

I love when you have other options in a set so that

you can change it up for different people or maybe

 just use the sentiment on it or maybe a tag.

This was a really easy card that I did with two Spellbinders

dies.  I used Labels Eighteen for the top and under it I layered

Decorative Labels Eight from the winter release.  I inked

it a little too much but that's ok.. it's fun to try something new.

(I love the reds and tans mixed together it's kind of country looking)

And to finish it I just tied a double bow and added a rose on top.

Hope you like it and be sure and check out the other new

stamps over on the Quietfire Design website....

Have a great day!  Teresa

Quietfire Guest Designer

I love it when doors open for me in my life and I
have the wonderful opportunity to be the guest
designer for Quietfire stamps this month.  They
are an amazing online stamp and calligraphy site
which I really love and it makes me want to get back
into doing my own handwritten sayings and such!
You can check out their website here...

 Today I have a simple card that I did with #6195.

I love this saying because I am a heart collector
of all things.. jewelry, stamps, pillows and lots of
other things that have hearts.  And here is my card..

I created this with 3 Spellbinders dies and
some ink from Studio G and Detail Clear Embossing Powder.
The base die is Decorative Labels Eight and
I stamped on Labels Twenty Five and it fit perfect.
Spellbinders also has tiny single dies called Die-Delights
and I also cut a heart locket in pink and put it under the ribbon
with Love Locket that you can see here...
The papers I used are from Basic Grey's Kissing Booth
6x6 pad and the brad is from the same line.
I am a sucker for pretty pinks so this was really fun
to make and be sure and check out the other card
I did on the Quietfire Blog here.....

Thanks for stopping in and have a great day!
