"Coffee Gal" says Happy Birthday!

When I saw The Stampmith's "Coffee Gal", with her 1950's wide eyed perkiness (must be all that java), I just loved her! She's the epitome of the typical housewife of that era.

I stamped her on glossy paper with Adirondack Cranberry dye ink. The background paper, Wassail Falling Snow (was-1454) by Basic Grey, looks like a wallpaper that our gal might have hanging in her kitchen.

All of my submissions for The Stampsmith can also be seen on my blog:

I also sell my cards on Etsy:

Wedding Themed Cards

This image is from the "Wedding Bells" plate. These two look like silent movie stars!

This card features the "Just Married" single stamp. I love this couple, they're too cute!

Hi! My name is Karen Fisher, and I've been invited to join the Stampsmith blog as a guest artist this month! I thank Kim for all of her kind words regarding my work. She posted my Audrey Hepburn card back in May. I thank Estelle for her fabulous stamps. She lives only 15 minutes from me, and I've been attending her local stamp show for years.

As an interior designer turned stay-at-home mom, I needed another outlet for my creativity. A friend introduced me to rubber stamping, and the rest is history. I find that my art reflects my training as a designer, in that I color coordinate my papers, ink and images as I would decorate a room with wallpaper, fabric and paint. I love collecting vintage ephemera and incorporating it into my work.

I am looking forward to participating with all of you talented artists. I hope I can keep up!

Star card

The Gingersnap challenge this week was stars and Betty Davis was certainly one of the stars of the silver screen. She also had that kind of tough cookie attitude that made her a standout.

Card details can be found on my blog.

Bling!

As Joanne has mentioned, the current Gingersnaps Creations challenge is Bling and nothing says that as well as the image from the Stampsmith by the same name. She is tastefully, heavily adorned with all the best bling.

The stampsmith at gingersnap creations again

I stayed with the movie theme and chose the blingiest shoes of all from the wizard of oz plate.

Pirate Prince

The Gingersnap Creations challenge today was for chestnut movie stars. Johnny Depp is today's pirate prince, but Errol Flynn was the original swashbuckler. This stamp is from Estelle's At the Movies stamp sheet. What a smile he had, to capture the hearts of the ladies in the movie audiences!

Details of the card construction can be found at my blog.
