Day 3 of HA/PTI Stamp Challenge and GIVEAWAY!
Hey there! Before doing the challenge, I want to mention a great giveaway. A sweet girl named Amy Tangerine sent lots of shirts for Colin, Kay and Audrey. AMAZING handmade shirts. Here is Colin sporting his handmade tie shirt. Love. And a "hug life" shirt I wear often. And! An adorable personalized shirt I had made for Colin to give to his girlfriend for her 4th birthday. SO cute in real life...
Well, I have two more of Amy's handmade shirts to giveaway (both are size XS - great for a teen). Just leave a comment here by Sunday night and I will pick two winners - each will get one of these shirts...
If you are interested in personalized shirts made by Amy, contact her HERE.
AND! Amy also has a great online workshop starting soon called "Get Those Creative Juices Flowing." Be sure to check it out HERE - it looks like a stand-out class with lots of fab info.
Now, onto the challenge...
It is Day 3 of my Hero Arts and Papertrey Ink Challenge with Maile Belles. Be sure to head to her blog next - she is one talented gal. Today we are using the Hero Arts Music Background and the Papertrey Ink All About You set...
And here is my take on these stamps. I stamped the music background (which can be used anytime - not just for holiday) with Platinum Metallic Staz-On Ink on a acetate (clear) card from Hero Arts. (See a tip below.) After lots of white embossing, Distress Inking and more, this is what I came up with...
OK... a little tip for ya. When stamping on smooth surfaces (such as transparency or acetate) with Staz-On Inks, it is very easy to mess up. Most of the mess-ups actually occur when pulling your removing your stamp after inking. So, be sure to use THIS Stamp Press for this kind of stamping. (I actually use it for all stamping now.) After you stamp you simply release the press and it pops up on it's feet. No mess-ups...
Lots of fun using these stamps together. Now head on over to Maile's blog!
See you tomorrow.

Absolutely gorgeous Jen, just love the use of the acetate card with those beautiful muted tones, and what can I say about Colin in that beautiful T shirt of Amy's way too cute. Now I am off to see what fantastic creation Maile has created. Hugs!

Beautiful card. Love the shirts too.

beautiful work, always love acrylic cards.
I have seen you use the stamp press before and I think I need one. I have been using the C plate of my cuttlebug for large stamps and it's not always a good thing. Thanks for the tip and link.

The tshirts are amazing...would love to win one for my 13 year old daughter. Love the card also...excited to see a sample made with this Tim Holtz die that I just bought! Woohoo!
Posted by: Melissa | October 01, 2010 at 11:52 AM
Man, that girl IS super talented! And you are too :) thanks for sharing!
Posted by: amiee | October 01, 2010 at 11:53 AM
Hi Jenn! Love this card! I bought this stamp when I went to Scrapfest! :> I bought the stamp press a while ago and LOVE IT! It really makes stamping easy! Sometimes I find that when I stamp with Stazon it sticks and I have to pull it away, or should I just wait until it pops off on it's own?
Posted by: AnitaRex | October 01, 2010 at 11:53 AM
I was wondering if that stamp press was worth the investment. Would love to win one to put it to work for me.
Posted by: Heidi Gore | October 01, 2010 at 11:55 AM
Great card! I just bought the Stamp Press and can't wait to use it. I am just loving these sharings you are doing with another stamper. Both of you are great and inspiring! The t shirts are cute, too. Love the tie on Colin's.

Love your card & those t-shirts are amazing.
Please don't include me in the t-shirt giveaway. I don't have anybody around that could wear that size.

A very cool card and what a fun giveaway for a super cute shirt!!
Posted by: marla H. | October 01, 2010 at 02:21 PM
Love your "music card". Great idea to do on acetate. Based on your recomendations on a previous post and seeing another artist using the stamp press, my sister and I bought one last weekend when we did a Tim Holtz Vintage card class at Archivers. I know a lot of times because she does not have a lot of strength in her hands the images sometimes don't fully stamp. I bet this will help quite a bit. As always we appreciate all of your hints and inspirations.

Awww, love your little man! Amy T's are too cute! That music background stamp is one of my faves these days. Have a great weekend!

Posted by: barbara lassiter | October 01, 2010 at 05:57 PM
Oh I am just loving the music notes background you keep using!! It seriously works with any project!! Those shirts are really great, I'm totally loving the colors!!
Posted by: Tay | October 01, 2010 at 06:14 PM
Awesome shirts and beautiful card! I've been obsessed with Amy's mini books; I need to start making my own.

Posted by: Kelly | October 01, 2010 at 06:16 PM
Please leave me out of the giveaway, Jennifer, but I just wanted to say how much I LOOOOOOVE your use of the music background on acetate! I'm thinking I may try something like this for my Christmas cards (the VERY special ones) this year.......thanks for the great idea!

Hi Jennifer,
Such a cute card! Love the acetate and the music background....Question, how do you make the little card out of the die cut? is there a way to cut it to make it like a card?
Thanks for your insight,
Terri
PS looking forward to the next class!
