Another 10 Minute Monday - KSS Style

Thanks for dropping in on this week's 10 Minute Monday Challenge!  For this week's design, I stamped a straight line of Kitchen Sink images across a 3.75 x 5 inch panel of white card stock. I then trimmed the bottom edge off belowthe stamped images and attached the panel to a matching piece of card stock. After adding a sentiment below, I mounted the panel to a white card. Play along this week and add your card to the Kitchen Sink Gallery using 10MC59 as the keyword.

SCS Virtual Stamp Night Mini

I was out of town on Friday during Splitcoaststampers' Virtual Stamp Night Mini but got the chance to play a little catch up today and completed two of the challenges.

My first card was for a challenge which required that the design contain flourishes of some sort: stamped, embossed, or die cut.

Embellishments: Jeweled Brad, Organdy Ribbon

The next challenge I completed, required that participants create their own layered flower. I tried out my new McGill Rose Punch. My rose looks a little "wild" but I am happy with it for my first attempt!

Embellishment: Microbeads

10 Minute 1 Layer Reverse Mask

With postage prices on the rise again, one layer cards with no embellishment are beginning to have more and more appeal to me. To create a little additional depth today, I cut a square reverse mask and sponged a little ground and sky in the background for each card. I then stamped the image partially outside the "box" and added a sentiment for Kitchen Sink Stamps 10 Minute Challenge 58.

I would love to see your creations using this quick and simple technique. Should you wish to share your KSS creation for this challenge in the Kitchen Sink Gallery, be sure to add keyword 10MC58.

KSS 10 Minute Monday - Scattered Inchies

For today's KSS 10 minute challenge, I stamped Kitchen Sink images on three inchies and a KSS sentiment on another. I then matted the inchies and scattered them across my card front. The sentiment inchie was added last and popped up on dimensionals. The outside inchies were hanging off the sides of the card until I whacked them one last time with the papercutter!

KSS 10 Minute Monday - Another Overlay

Thank you so much for checking in on today's challenge! This week's 10 Minute Card Challenge is another overlay design. I stamped my Kitchen Sink images and sentiments directly on the card front. The overlay is a 3.75 x 5 inch colored panel which I cut a hole in with my heart Nestabilities and then embossed with my Cuttlebug. The final step in this design is to glue the embossed panel over the stamped images.

If you choose to join in the challenge this week, use whatever shape works for you. I am getting ready for Valentine's Day so I chose the heart. The keyword for uploading to the Kitchen Sink Gallery is 10MC55.

New Year's Resolutions

Today begins the second year of 10 Minute Card Challenges at Kitchen Sink Stamps! Can you believe it?

This week I am challenging you to use your 10 minutes and your Kitchen Sink Stamps to share with us some of your New Year's Resolutions. The keyword for those adding their project to the Kitchen Sink Gallery is 10MC53.

I have chosen to create some refrigerator magnets to help me keep my resolutions front and center each time I open the refrigerator. I plan to make better choices about what I eat as well as get more active with my walking and exercising. I got a Wii and Wii Fit Plus from Santa so I can have a little fun as I try to keep on track with my resolutions.

 I used my computer to print my resolutions and my circle Nestabilities to cut out my layers. A strip magnet was attached to the back of each resolution.
