Always Make A Total Effort


Hi Friends!

I wanted to create another masculine card for my stash and decided to use The Golf Club from Artistic Outpost along with the ODBD Custom Dies- Pierced Circles, Circles and Pierced Rectangles (all available from Our Daily Bread Designs).


If you have not had a chance to check out the Artistic Outpost blog or the other challenge sites yet, I encourage you to do so!  Inspiration is posted throughout the week on the AO Blog/ AO Facebook Page and the challenge galleries have gorgeous samples as well!

To create this card:

1). On a 4” x 5 ¼” piece of white cardstock, apply Peeled Paint, Brushed Corduroy and Black Soot Distress Stains onto a craft mat, spritz lightly with water, lay a piece of white cardstock into the ink, lift up and repeat until you receive the desired result.   Use a heat tool to dry each layer and once the panel has completely dried, apply Picket Fence Distress stain to tone down the color a bit.  Mount the background onto the black card front and adhere to the white card base.

2). Create the rectangular element of the sketch using the same steps above with kraft cardstock and omitting the Black Soot Distress Stain.  Once the panel has dried, repeatedly stamp the advertising stamp from The Golf Club with archival black ink.  Trim the panel and mount onto a rectangle die cut and embossed from black cardstock using the Pierced Rectangles Dies.

3). Repeat the above steps in #2 using white cardstock stamping the advertising image off once before stamping onto the cardstock.  Die cut and emboss the panel with the Pierced Circles Dies and mount onto a piece of black cardstock die cut and embossed with the Circles Dies.

4). Ink the golfer images from The Golf Club with embossing ink, stamp onto white cardstock, apply black embossing powder and heat set with the heat tool.  Fussy-cut the images and adhere to the circle created in step #3.

5). Ink the sentiment from The Golf Club with embossing ink, stamp onto black cardstock, apply white embossing powder and heat set with the heat tool.  Trim and create the banner points, mount onto white cardstock and create banner points as well before adding to the circle die cut.

6). Mount onto the card front with dimensional foam to finish off the card.


Thanks again for taking the time to stop by and visit- hugs and I hope you have a wonderful week!

The Golf Club- Live, Laugh, Play



Hi Friends! 

Today I am sharing a fun card on the Artistic Outpost Blog using the Artistic Outpost stamp sets, The Golf Club and Grunge Elements along with the ODBD Pierced Rectangles Dies (all available at Our Daily Bread Designs) and I wanted to share it with you as well.


If you have not had a chance to visit The Artistic Outpost Blog or the other challenge sites yet, I encourage you to do so- great inspiration from my sister Design Team at the AO Blog as well as from the other challenge DT and galleries!

To create this card:

Ink the background collage image from AO The Golf Club with black soot distress ink and repeatedly stamp onto taupe cardstock, spritz the panel lightly with water and use a heat tool to dry.

Ink the corner splatter stamp from AO Grunge Elements with taupe ink, stamp over the edges of the background panel, use a distressing tool to distress the edges of the panel, add the two strips of 5/8” black satin ribbon, mount the distressed panel onto black cardstock and distress the edges of the black cardstock layer with the distressing tool before mounting onto the white card base.

For the focal image panel, stamp the background collage stamp from AO The Golf Club with archival black ink onto white cardstock, watercolor  with taupe, tangerine and emerald ink, add additional distressing with the corner splatter stamp from AO Grunge Elements using taupe ink before trimming and mounting onto black cardstock.

Stamp the golfer images from AO The Golf Club with archival black ink into white cardstock, fussy-cut the images, mount each onto black cardstock and fussy-cut again before adhering to the focal image panel.

Stamp the sentiment from AO The Golf Club with archival black ink into white cardstock, die cut with the ODBD Pierced Rectangles Dies, layer onto black cardstock, trim close to the edge before mounting onto the focal image panel with dimensional foam.

To finish off the card, mount the entire focal image panel to the card front with dimensional foam.


I am so thankful that you visited me today and hope I have inspired you to create something this weekend- hugs and have a blessed week, my friends!

Live, Laugh, Play

Hi Friends! 

I hope you are having a fabulous week so far!  Today I am sharing a card that I designed using The Golf Club and Grunge Elements from ArtisticOutpost by Our Daily Bread Designs for the Splitcoaststampers’ SC605 Sketch Challenge.

I also incorporated last week’s Way To Use It WT595 “Sports Theme” Challenge into the design.

If you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge galleries yet, I encourage you to do so- wonderful inspiration from all!

To create this card:

Ink the grid image from Grunge Elements with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink and repeatedly stamp onto a piece of white cardstock,  add the border stamp from Grunge Elements  and stamp around the edges with Faded Denim Distress Ink and die cut the entire panel with the frame die from the ODBD Flourished Star Pattern Dies.

Mount the background panel onto a piece of black cardstock, trim and mount onto the white card base.

Ink the collage map image from The Golf Club stamp set with archival Black Ink, stamp onto white cardstock, die cut with the ODBD Double Stitched Rectangle Dies, watercolor using Mowed Lawn Distress Ink, add the vintage watercolor with a water-based black pen (see the Splitcoaststampers' tutorial here) and cut the panel in half.

Mount the two pieces onto black cardstock and position on the card front per the sketch.

Die cut a piece of white cardstock and two pieces of black cardstock with the ODBD Double Stitched Circle Dies, stamp The Golf Club flag image onto the white cardstock circle die cut, follow the steps above for the adding the background and vintage watercolor, stamp the grid from Grunge Elements and mount onto the two black cardstock circle die cuts (layered to show just a small border).

Using embossing ink, stamp the golfer image from The Golf Club onto white cardstock, heat emboss with black embossing powder and fussy-cut out the image.

Heat emboss the sentiment and the advertising image from The Golf Club with white embossing powder onto black cardstock and hand trim the images.

Die cut a piece of black cardstock with the ODBD Pennant Swag Die, trim off the ends of the pennant and position onto the card front, mount the advertising image and sentiment with dimensional foam.

Adhere the die cut circle and the fussy-cut golfer image to finish off the card.

I had fun designing this card and hope I have inspired you to create a project this week!  If so, why not create a card using the sketch above, upload to the Splitcoaststampers gallery (there is no fee to join) and come join in on the fun with us with the Splitcoaststampers' SC605 Sketch Challenge!

Thanks again for stopping by, hugs and have a blessed week!

The Most Important Shot- The Golf Club and Grunge Elements

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing my weekly card post on the Artistic Outpost (AO) blog – and this Mixed Media card was created using the new AO Spring 2016 Release stamps, Grunge Elements and The Golf Club.

FYI- I am also linking this card to the Splitcoaststampers’ MIX36 “Anything Goes” Challenge as well as the F4A238“Good Sport” Challenge.

 I hope you have a chance to visit us at the Artistic Outpost blog as well as the other challenge galleries – wonderful inspiration from all!

To create this card:

De-static a piece of Basic Black cardstock with the Embossing Buddy®, stamp the sentiment from The Golf Club with Versamark™ ink onto the prepared cardstock, heat emboss with Stampin’ Emboss® White Embossing Powder and once the embossing powder has cooled, trim and set aside.

For the background panel, add Ranger® Tim Holtz® Distress Stains (Mowed Lawn, Squeezed Lemonade) to a craft mat, lay a piece of watercolor paper face down into the ink, lift from the mat and spritz with water.

Lightly dry the panel with the Heat Tool, stamp the various Grunge Elements images with Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink and apply Ranger® Tim Holtz® Tea Dye Distress Ink to “age” the paper.

Close-Up of Grunge Elements Background
 Use a 1 ¼” Square Punch to punch out the entire background and mount onto 1 ⅜” squares of Basic Black cardstock.

Adhere the layered background squares onto the Whisper White card base and add the stamped advertising images from The Golf Club.

Apply Ranger® Tim Holtz® Distress Crazing Medium over the entire panel and set aside to dry (you can speed up the drying process carefully with the Heat Tool but I have found that the medium crazes better when allowed to air dry).

Ink the woman golfer image from The Golf Club with Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink,  stamp onto Whisper White cardstock and apply Ranger® Tim Holtz® Tea Dye Distress Ink over the image (again, to “age” the paper).

To finish off the card, fussy-cut out the golfer and use dimenstional foam to adhere her to the card front along with the heat embossed sentiment.

Grunge Elements
Stamp Sets: The Golf Club, Grunge Elements (Artistic Outpost)

Ink/Mediums: Stāz-On® Jet Black, Ranger® Tim Holtz® Mowed Lawn and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Stains, Ranger® Tim Holtz® Tea Dye Distress Ink

Vintage Golf with Graphic 45 Good Ol' Sport

Hi Again Stampers!   

Here is the second card that I created for the CCEE1532 “NationalGolf Month” Theme Challenge and I also incorporated the Splitcoaststampers’ SC548 Sketch Challenge (see gallery here). 

Again, as I mentioned in my previous post, I do not own any golf stamps so I decided to incorporate Graphic 45™ Good Ol’ Sport Collection Designer Paper.  It may be a bit difficult to see but the lady in the front has some golf clubs so I hope this will qualify as a golf themed card :-)

If you have not visited the above challenge sites yet, I encourage you to do so- tremendous inspiration from all!

This card was fairly simple to create:

Use the retired  Distressing Tool to distress the edge of the Newsworthy Designer Paper, mount onto Basic Black cardstock, trim and mount onto Wild Wasabi cardstock, trim and mount onto the Cajun Craze card base and apply Ranger® Tim Holtz® Tea Dye Distress Ink to “antique” the paper with a sponge applicator. 

Trim the Touchdown cutaway and mount onto Basic Black cardstock and add the retired Baked Brown Sugar Thick Baker’s Twine to the corners.

Stamp the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock, punch out with the retired Word Window Punch, add the banner ends using the Hexagon Punch and apply Ranger® Tim Holtz® Tea Dye Distress Ink to “antique” the paper.

Mount the sentiment onto Basic Black cardstock, trim and create the banner points with the Hexagon Punch and adhere to the focal image panel.

Create the angled panel (per the sketch) using the reverse side of the Graphic 45™ Newsworthy Designer Paper layered onto Basic Black, Wild Wasabi and Cajun  Craze cardstock.

Add a scrap piece of embossed Wild Wasabi cardstock layered onto Basic Black to the center.

Add the angled layer to the card front and mount the focal image using Stampin’ Dimensionals® to finish off the card.

Again, quick and easy since the Graphic 45™ paper does most of the work for you!!
Stamp Sets: Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink:  Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink, Ranger© Tim Holtz® Tea Dye Distress Ink
Paper/Cardstock:  Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Cajun Craze, Wild Wasabi; Good Ol’ Sport (Graphic 45™)
Accessories:  Big Shot™, retired Square Lattice Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder, Hexagon Punch, retired Distressing Tool, Sponge Applicator, retired Baked Brown Sugar Thick Baker’s Twine

Thanks again for visiting- I hope all of you have a fantastic day and I will be sharing a few more cards later this evening  :-)

CCEE1532 National Golf Month with Graphic 45™

Hi Again Stampers!   

Last night I had a chance to play in my craft room and decided to create a few cards using the CCEE1532 “National Golf Month” Theme Challenge. 

Since I do not own any "golf" stamps, I decided to incorporate Graphic 45™ Good Ol’ Sport Collection Designer Paper.  

I just love the Graphic 45™  vintage style images but when my husband looked at the card, he said “The lady has a tennis racket, not a golf club” and I told him, “But the man has golf clubs” so hope this qualifies as a golf themed card- lol!!

If you have not visited the CCEE Challenge site yet, I encourage you to do so- marvelous inspiration from all!

The Graphic 45™ paper does most of the work so this card was fairly simple to create:

Distress the edge of the Newsworthy Designer Paper using the Distressing Tool,  mount onto Night of Navy cardstock, trim and mount onto the Wild Wasabi card base and apply a bit of Ranger® Tim Holtz® Tea Dye Distress Ink to “antique” the paper with a sponge applicator. 

Trim the Touchdown cutaway and mount onto Night of Navy and Wild Wasabi cardstock.  Create the banners using the Banner Punch and adhere the banners at the bottom of the panel.

Ink the retired French Foliage script stamp using Ranger® Tim Holtz® Tea Dye Distress Ink and stamp onto the panel and add the postage mark stamp using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink.

Stamp the sentiment from the retired Kind & Caring Thoughts using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock and add the splatter from Gorgeous Grunge using Ranger® Tim Holtz® Tea Dye Distress Ink onto the sentiment and focal image panel.

Trim the sentiment and create the banner points with the Hexagon Punch, mount onto Night of Navy cardstock and create the points again with the Hexagon Punch.

Use the Big Shot™ with the retired Square Lattice Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of retired Poppy Parade cardstock, distress the edges with the Distressing Tool and Ranger® Tim Holtz® Tea Dye Distress Ink.

Mount onto Night of Navy cardstock and adhere to the card front.

Add the red grosgrain ribbon loops to the focal image panel and mount the panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

Mount the sentiment to finish off the card. 
Stamp Sets: Gorgeous Grunge, French Foliage and Kind & Caring Thoughts (both retired),
Ink:  Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink, Ranger© Tim Holtz® Tea Dye Distress Ink
Paper/Cardstock:  Very Vanilla, Night of Navy, Wild Wasabi, retired  Poppy Parade; Good Ol’ Sport (Graphic 45™)
Accessories:  Big Shot™, retired Square Lattice Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder, Punches- Banner and Hexagon; Distressing Tool, Sponge Applicator, ¼” Red Grosgrain Ribbon (from my massive ribbon stash)

Thanks again for stopping by- I hope all of you have a fabulous day and I will be sharing another golf themed card shortly :-)
