Valentine card

This card uses an image from the Thank Heaven for Little Girls plate 2. I hope you are having a great day with the special people in your life.

Blessed Are

These cards use images from the Blessed Are plate from the Stampsmith. These stamps make wonderful cards for people of faith. I like to keep them quite simple so that the main image is the focus. I hope you enjoy them.

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.

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!

America's Sweetheart

This card uses a Shirley Temple image, which is available as a single. The image is stamped in Memories black on glossy cardstock, coloured with waterbased markers used as paint and accented with die cut hearts from Spellbinders renaissance hearts pendant dies. The word phrases are done using a dymo label maker and vellum.

Further construction details are found at my blog.

Road Trip

I love this image from the Lucy plate. I'm sure many of us have similar memories of special trips with family or friends. It is stamped in Memories black ink on glossy cardstock and coloured with watercolour markers applied with a paint brush.

3 versions of same image

I wanted to show the different feel you can achieve with the same image when you use alternate colouring and mounting options. I used an image from the Marilyn 2 plate for these. One only has the lips coloured, the others are more fully coloured using waterbased markers applied by paintbrush and chalks. More details on these cards can be found on my blog here.

Friends cards

The main image for this card is sold as a single called Girlfriends. It comes in this size and a smaller version. It is stamped on glossy cardstock with Memories black and coloured with waterbased markers used as paint and chalks. The words are made with a dymo label maker and the embossed lines on the bottom of the card were done using a Scor-it.

This image is from the Those were the Days plate. It is also stamped in Memories black on glossy cardstock, and coloured with markers and chalks. The friends label was done using green vellum in a dymo label maker.

Lucy birthday card

This card used an image from the Lucy plate. She is stamped with Memories black on glossy cardstock and coloured with both watercolour makers applied with a paint brush and chalks. The lettering was done using green vellum in a dymo label maker.

Rosemary Reid

Just a quick note of introduction. My name is Rosemary Reid and I am so pleased to be part of the new Stampsmith design team. I have been stamping for about 8 years ( where did the time go? lol). I started out heat embossing words on dry embossed cards and then jumped right into photostamps, after seeing a lovely card done using the Stampsmith image Maude. I also dabble in wire jewellery, metal clay and polymer clay but mostly I am a collector of craft supplies. Here are a couple of spring cards made with Stampsmith flapper images. For some reason I love the lavender/purples and pink/greens for spring cards.
