American Crafts Ink Pad Challenge

I am not a very good stamper. I love stamps, I just never know what to do with them. It is a bit overwhelming. But the challenge this week was stamping, so here is my card.

Supplies

Embossing Powder, Rainboot Stamp, Patterned Paper, Ribbon- American Crafts

get well soon stamp- Heidi Grace

Cardstock- Walmart Cardstock

Ink- Martha Stewart

Layout and Card

I did another American Crafts challenge. It was to make a Valentine Card or Layout using at least two American Crafts Products.

Cardstock, Thickers, Patterned Paper, Pen: American Crafts

Ribbon: Pebbles

Here is my layout. You might have noticed a lack of Valentine's Post. That is because I don't really believe in the holiday. And this is my page about it. I could write more about it, but I won't.

I am really liking collages right now. I don't have a printer to print pictures on. But Walmart.com lets you create a collage and print it. It's pretty cool.

And I did a card too. Mostly because I saw the paper on my desk and decided to try it.

Patterned Paper, Stamps: American Crafts
String: DMC
Ink: Colorbox
Background Paper: From Hobby Lobby

It was night and I used my flash (gasp!) so the colors are not exactly right.

What I love most about these two things is I came up with the layouts all by myself. I usually look at magazines or blogs and scraplift, but I didn't this time.

Layout

I decided to do an American Crafts blog challenge. I have plenty of their products, so why not? The challenge was to use two or more minimarks products. I have tons of minimarks and usually use them on cards, but I wanted to do a layout.

I only used two minimarks. One in two corners. They were harder to incorporate than I thought. But hopefully I'll get better.
