Happy Birthday card by Pam Brown ** NEW KI MEMORIES**

Hi everyone! Pam here today to share with you a card I created using the new KI Memories Mini Celebrations Birthday collection. The ruffle paper and ruffle stickers made it so easy to add dimension. I am a big fan of using stitching on my projects, so it was nice that they already had done that step for me! 

For the sentiment, I used the Hampton Art licensed Echo Park Scoot Stamps. There is an outline around the “Happy Birthday,” but to not have that on there, I added tape over the outline part of the stamp, inked the stamp, and then peeled the tape off and stamped. I added the little triangles afterward to draw your eye to the sentiment.

Going My Way card by Melinda Spinks

Hello everyone, it’s Melinda with you today and I have a card to share using the Hampton Art licensed Jillibean Soup stamps from the Irish Farm House Soup collection.

I couldn’t resist this gorgeous bicycle stamp so decided to have it as the centre focal point of the ombre circle. I added extra pops of color with the brads to give the card some added fun and vibrancy.

To create the ombre background I cut a circle from old cardstock to use as a mask and blended three different distress inks with a blending tool.

Supply List:

Stamp
Hampton Art Licensed Jillibean Soup Stamp set – Irish Farm House Soup (JB0012)

Inks
Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Mustard Seeds
Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Peacock Feathers
Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Mowed Lawn

Other Supplies

Clear Finish Embossing Powder
Cardstock – White
Brads – Doodlebug Chunky

Hampton Art/Authentique Blog Feature Day 5 - Final Day

What a week! Have you been enjoying all the great projects shared by both Authentique and the team here at Hampton Art? I love how all the different designers used the Authentique/Hampton Art stamps!

Today is my turn. I have a card for you that I created using the Authentique Keep Me Posted stamp set. 

Keep Me Posted card by Kimber McGray

For this card, I kept it fairly simple. I started by stamping by background paper with different colors of Brown and Yellow inks. This gave it an ombre feel. To bring out the yellow in the stamping, I added a thin piece of yellow cardstock to the right edge. 

I love the ticket stub stamps that came with this set. I cut out a few to use a background strip and then layered two of the other images for a collage feel.

Finally, I added a bit of twine and two more stamped ticket stubs with an added stamped sentiment to the top of the card to finish it off. 

Supplies: 

Hampton Art/Authentique stamps: IC231 Keep Me Posted

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics

Twine: Lawn Fawn

Punch: Fiskars

You have until Sunday night to leave a comment on any of this week's posts for a chance to win one of each of the Authentique/Hampton Art co-branded stamp sets!

Have a great weekend!
