{ August Studio AE from Technique Tuesday Blog Hop }

Welcome to our August Studio AE Blog Hop.

Today we are featuring projects made with the Studio AE – Love This Memory by Ali Edwards – August 2012 (starts shipping August 10th).

Here is my layout.

I started by stamping by heat embossing “love this memory” image with white embossing powder.  I sprayed over that with Smooch Spritz. I sprayed the water drops card (designed by me) and the polar grid (created by me), with the same color.
I layered the water drops card over a new Remember This by Ali Edwards - Story Cards. The cards have a front and a back. The back is usually blank, like this one or filled with color.

“love this” Silhouette cut came from one of Ali Edwards downloads during the National Scrapbook day with Xyron. It is a PDF document that I converted into a cutting file. I thought it went perfectly with this set. I added a few touches of red by stamping the sentiment and the heart from the set.

Make sure you check out all the blogs because we are giving away a $25.00 gift certificate to Technique Tuesday. That means you can get anything you want. The winner will be announced on the Technique Tuesday Blog on August 13th.

{ Technique Tuesday August Studio AE }

Hello August! Time for our August Studio AE stamp set called Love This Memory. This set is perfect for so many different occasions.

For my first project with the stamps I created a card.

  Pretty simple card with scraps left over from another project. I stamped the circle sentiment and cut it out. I used 3D Foam Squares by Therm O Web to adhere it to the card. The hearts are stamped and cut out, as well. I added a little heart bead to the bow with twine.

That is all I have for today!! Thanks so much for stopping by.

Have a great Friday!

{ Impression Obsession DT Challenge–It’s a Man’s World }

Hi and welcome to another Impression Obsession challenge.
Our next challenge, "It’s A Man’s World", starts today, August 2, and continues to the following Wednesday evening, August 8, at 10 PM.

Create a new card using  Impression Obsession stamps and post it on Impression Obsession Blog, between August 2 - 8. A winner will be chosen randomly to win a $25 gift certificate to the Impression Obsession store.

Here is my card.

I made a baby boy card. The bottom of the card is stamped with CAC Thin Chevron stamp. The little boat was created in my Silhouette Studio. Once the pieces were cut out I stamped the sails with CAC Screen and the boat with CAC Small Dots. I used ColorBox Mint Pigment ink to color the base. The image looks like it was stamped. Next time I will add a little white border. There is a pole with a flag that goes with the sail boat, but I thought this star pin was a perfect substitute.

The circles with the stars were created in my Silhouette Studio. It’s a long border, but for this card I only used two. I colored the white cardstock with ColorBox Mint Pigment ink and stamped over that with CAC Screen using Charcoal Fluid Chalk Ink. I added brads to the centers of the stars.

I adore this Swirl Lower alphabet set…there is a Swirl Upper set, that is just as awesome. I cut the letters out and inked the edges with Toffee Fluid Chalk ink. I used the bracket shape from Journaling I stamp set. “Sweet” is from Juicy Words and is stamped on a Martha Stewart label.

**I hope you'll take the time to visit the other designer's blogs for inspiration!***Don't forget to link your projects on Impression Obsession blog.***

I wanted to share a card that I created using my own card design, tag and arrow.

I am using brand new stamps from Technique Tuesday called Smile Big. I stamped the sentiment on the tag that I created in my Silhouette Studio. I stamped the camera and cut it out. I stamped the smiley face in the opening. I created the arrow, too, and it was left over from another project. I have some arrows for download ----> HERE.

For today I will share with you the card and the tag. I hope you come back and play in our challenges at The Cameo Spotlight Blog.
