Subscribe to the comments for this postSteampunk or is it Altered Art?
How about some masculine cards today? I love a little steampunk and altered art in my life. My introduction to stamping was back in 1999, when I moved from Canada’s east coast, to central Canada. I started making altered books where I found a love for the distressed and antique look. Heavens, I’m all over the map with design, aren’t I!?
My cards started out as gold cardstock, from Stampn’ Up! and the rest of the items were things I had lying around my studio.
I started by embossing the gold cardstock in my Big Shot (alas, my Cuttlebug has given out), and cutting and embossing miniature tags. Then distressed the tags with SU Soft Suede and Early Espresso.
Next, I added bronze metallic gilding polish and black Stazon over the gold cardstock. Over the drywall tape, I smudged on some waxy paste in green. There isn’t a name on the packaging which was purchased back in 2000. (how do I know when it was purchased? It was one of my first major purchased for my new hobby)
As a child I collected stamps, and as I grew up I no longer wanted to stay with that hobby, so I took my book apart and kept the stamps, because I knew one day I would have a use for them in my art. Cogs were found in the jewellery making section at Hobby Lobby. They are perfect for gluing to flat surfaces.
Inspired!? Get creative!
Dueling Darlings – Penguins
Hi folks!
It’s the 15th of the month, and the Dueling Darlings are having a duel using this month’s theme, “penguins.” Terry S, from the Dazzlers (I’m part of the Dazzlers team), and Laurajean (LJ) gave us all the supplies we needed to complete a card or two. I think my penguin is enjoying the sunshine on a snowy day.
I missed putting on 3D embellishments because I didn’t see them neatly in an envelope until I typed this out yesterday. Ugh!
My image was coloured with Prismacolor colored pencils and blended with odorless mineral spirits.
Thanks for stopping by!

Dueling Darlings Celebrating Baby Safety Month
Hello stampers. It’s the 15th of the month and time to celebrate the Dueling Darlings kit swap. Donna and Judy are this month’s hosts. My kit came from Donna and contained all the products, except for the stencil, in my kit (the Dazzlers). Judy sent off a kit to the Divas. It’s always fun to see what each other does with our kits.
I had my stencils out and was inspired to use my stencil to add a pattern to the onsie.

DDD August Kit – Humor
It’s the 15th of the month and that means the Dueling Dazzlers and Divas post our cards that we made with the kit provided to us. This month the Dazzlers received our kit from Jeanette and the Divas received their kits from Kelly. As always, it is super fun to see what everyone did with their kit.
My image came to me on a white background and I added the clouds with my handmade cloud and SU Pacific Point. I used a curvy die to show movement of the rollercoaster. I cut my sentiment out in a circle and sponged colour around the edges.
What a fun image, eh?!
My kit includes the following:
Image and Sentiment: Taylored Expressions Adventure Land stamp set
Designer Paper unknown source
Ribbon Celebrate it
Buttons and pearls unknown source
Get Well Soon
Hello fellow stampers! Enjoying this summer heat? I sure am!
My mojo has found it’s way back to me, after a long hiatus, and I got six cards made over the weekend.
Today, my card used A Colorful Life Stencils paired with Summer Bouquet and Get Well Soon.
I started out placing my stencil over 110 lb white cardstock and misting it with Thulian Pink Shimmering Bliss. The shimmer that shows up is so awesome. Next, I added my flowers and sentiment.
These stamps, stencils, and any other product you choose to purchase (excluding clearance rack) are subject to 10% off simply by using my code TJ10Beth.
It won’t be long now before our August 1st release is upon us. I’m so excited!
Cheers!

Let’s Pawty
Hello folks! Ready for spring? Today as I type this out, it is still freezing outside, but I have my window open in my studio and am listening to the beautiful song of the birds. It cries, “spring is around the corner.” I live in an apartment where it is 25 degrees C so an open window is welcome.
As you can see, I’ve been busy pounding out the cards and made a birthday set using Technique Junkie’s Let’s Pawty stamp set. On the inside of my card I have, “Let’s Party” stamped out. Cute for the dog-lover.
You can receive this stamp at 10% off if you use my code.
As a little surprise, Pat is offering a free stamp called, “wildly capable” with any $30 purchase before taxes and delivery.
