Stamp Review Crew: Gorgeous Grunge Edition

It's a new hop of the Stamp Review Crew!   This time we are featuring Gorgeous Grunge.   I'm not sure gorgeous and grunge are two words that go together, but hey, it works!  If at any time you get lost or disorientated from all the amazing samples, we do have a main landing page for you to recoup and recover on.  


This was my first project  I saw the colors at Hand Stamped Sentiments and decided to give them a go with this set.  Believe it or not, this is the first time I've ever used Rose Red!  I don't own the stamp pad, but I did have the marker and one sheet of card stock.  I managed to get my new grid background stamp in there too.  ;)

For my second card I wanted to do a faux watercolor effect.  I inked up the stamps, spritzed them with water, then stamped.  I know it's a splatter stamp to begin with, but I think it still looks kinda cool with some water mixed in.  It's fun that card is so bright and cheery while the other is more masculine and dark.   I love stamp sets that can do both!

Stampin' Up! Geometrical


I wanted to finish up a final card for my online class and finally found a minute to do it today.  I had sponged the stencil earlier in the week and it was just hanging out on my desk.  You know what happens to things that do that, right?  They end up with ink or something smudged on them.  Thankfully I got this one all stamped and put away before that happened.  :)   Other things haven't been so lucky.  Yikes!   This is a simple one, but I like how cheery it is.   It would cheer me up!   And man...I need a major sequin intervention.  I have so many now and I just want to stick them on every card!   


She must have been channeling her daddy's former football days in this one.   Are you watching the Super Bowl tomorrow?   I'm excited!  Go Broncos.  :)

Stampin' Up! Geometrical Love


I've had this poor card on my desk for a while now and finally finished it up before I climbed in bed tonight.  We always hop in bed early to watch a show or two once Laila's in bed, so I never seem to get any stamping done after the middle of the day.  This card using the fun sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday with the colors from colourQ.   I didn't have Poppy Parade, so I subbed in Calypso Coral.  It looks like everyone else went with Real Red for a current color, so oops!  Hopefully mine still counts.  Sorry, guys! 
  
She is so silly.   We had our first trip to the dentist today.   Taking an 18 month old is such a waste.  $118 and all they did was brush her teeth and look at them for like a minute!   We won't be going back for a while.  That's just crazy!   She did great though, so maybe taking her will make her not be afraid like I am.
