Hello all,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My
name is Marieke and i'm 32 years old and live in the Netherlands with
my boyfriend and cat. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started making cards 4 years ago. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well i
actually started earlier but i did not make anything because i was in
the navy for 8 years. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started making cards using pencils but i did not
get the result i wanted so i looked into Copic Markers, well i can tell
you since then i'm hooked! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the house we live in, i have a craft room
it's all the way up so i can look over the neighbourhood and i love it, i
can close the door when it is a mess, the only problem really is that
it is getting fuller and fuller, hahaha (who does not have that
problem?). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once a week i craft together with a friend, one week at my
place and one week at hers. I love making all kinds of cards, CAS,
Vintage, Fluffy, Girly you name it i make it! I</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
f you ever want to have a
look at what i make go over to <a href="http://mariekeslaats.blogspot.nl/" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank">mariekeslaats.blogspot.nl</a> , and if you like what you see don't become a stranger and follow me! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to thank Sami and the team for having me around!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Ready or not, welcome to 2018! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At the end of every year I really do love looking back at all that had happened over the past year. So for this Friday's post I wanted to highlight all my favorite Design Team creations from 2017! It was a lot of fun to go back through all of them and hard to narrow down my favorites. I sure am lucky to have such a talented team! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Without further ado here are the 2017 favorites!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">***P.S. If you click on the image name, it will take you directly to that image's link in my Etsy shop for easy shopping!*** </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I believe there is a time and season for everything. And with the changes life has brought along with my sweet baby girl I have come to the decision to temporarily close down the Sami Stamps blog and Etsy shop. I am sad to take a step back but I know it is a right decision to simplify 2018. </span></div>

As you can see i added some stripes to this scarf. You can pencil off some lines and add your coloring. I like to cut out my images and this image comes with some snowflakes in the background. i just cut them out as circles or you can hand punch them.</div>

Rae Ann here with your dose of Friday Fun inspiration! Can you believe it is the Friday before Christmas?! I hope you have your shopping and wrapping done and can put your feet up and enjoy a glass of egg nog (or whatever drink brings you the most joy). And with Christmas right around the corner, you know what that means! Soon it will be New Year's Day and we will suffer through several weeks of writing the wrong year on everything. =P Before that happens, <a href="http://samistampsshop.blogspot.com/p/christmas-and-winter.html">Frosty Stars</a> and I are here to wish you a Happy New Year.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eGBa1M9ErJc/WjyBBY77NdI/AAAAAAAAGq4/4NarCcjqZFcqwVROoRzynu_3etAyYop0gCLcBGAs/s1600/Sami%2BStamps%2B-%2BFrosty%2BStars.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1178" data-original-width="1047" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eGBa1M9ErJc/WjyBBY77NdI/AAAAAAAAGq4/4NarCcjqZFcqwVROoRzynu_3etAyYop0gCLcBGAs/s400/Sami%2BStamps%2B-%2BFrosty%2BStars.jpg" width="355" /></a></div>
<br />
I colored Frosty Stars with Copic markers and used a technique I recently learned to make his hat band, buttons and stars look like gold glitter or sequins. A little embossing for some texture, some ribbon and trim (the black trim below the ribbon doesn't really show at all in the picture), and a simple stamped sentiment and this card was done!<br />
<br />
This month's <a href="http://samistamp.blogspot.com/2017/12/new-image-little-holly-unicorn-and-sami.html">challenge</a> is white on white! Why not put a project together and play along? Just remember to use a Sami Stamps image to be eligible for prizes.<br />
<br />
I hope you have a joyous holiday season full of the very best life has to offer. Until next time!<br />
<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
No time for coloring an image? What about paper piecing? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Want to make your card "the gift"??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The images on this card work well for paper piecing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In fact, i looked at the shop examples and the blog to see that other crafters have thought the same thing about this image called, Curious Gifts!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like to use digital paper so that i can change the scale of the paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In some cases, i like to digitally paper piece too, because it cuts down on paper waste. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my paper pieced version of Curious Gifts! The kitties were colored with Copics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
You can find more details on my blog <a href="http://grandmabonniesplace.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can make your card a "gift that can be framed" by making it 3D.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To create a 3D image...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All you do is print the image off 3-4 times and layer it with foam tape!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Find a shadow box and frame your card!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hi everyone! It is good to be back! I want to give a big thank you for our DT leader Grandma Bonnie and the rest of the design team for stepping it up and helping me out while I was away. I had a little special someone to welcome into my family and have been a little busy. =) I would like to ask everyone to please have patience with me over the next few months while I am trying to figure out how to balance my normal life along with my sweet baby girl. </div>

Welcome back to another Fun Friday here at Sami Stamps!!<br />
I have an adorable little shaker card for you today!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-V_2bRgyOppI/WhT1thGLVDI/AAAAAAAAgAY/6dR9AFYPdd8Ol0GxgRdttwHH4ASHJu29wCLcBGAs/s1600/Sami%2BStamps%2BNovember%2B24.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1422" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-V_2bRgyOppI/WhT1thGLVDI/AAAAAAAAgAY/6dR9AFYPdd8Ol0GxgRdttwHH4ASHJu29wCLcBGAs/s400/Sami%2BStamps%2BNovember%2B24.jpg" width="355" /></a></div>
For my card I've used the <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qhRmd1h_ji8/VFxZHZtQ7oI/AAAAAAAAEzw/ww8GAfFtfMQ/s1600/feathernap-shop.jpg">Feather Nap</a> image. I love this sweet little kitty! Of course she had to be colored up like my little Cloud baby with a big fluffly tail!<br />
<br />
I used a sun ray stencil and added some Fossilized Amber through the stencil, then spritzed it lightly with some shimmer mist so it has a nice sparkle. It was only after I had completed the card that I realized I did the rays in the wrong order...but oh well :) I still like how it all turned out!<br />
<br />
Once the rays were dry, I cut an oval from the center to be the window for my shaker card. I cut some green cardstock to be my hill and adhered everything down, adding a fun golden sequin mix to the shaker.<br />
<br />
I black heat embossed my sentiment on to a strip of vellum and wrapped it around my card and that was it!!<br />
<br />
Thank so much for stopping by! You have just a few more days to enter our Sentiments challenge so don't miss out!!Emily Lauritzenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02595361558178172565noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-646471962721469549.post-86450288503911348202017-11-17T00:00:00.000-08:002017-11-17T00:00:01.014-08:00Deanne's Feature Friday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Rae Ann here for your dose of Friday Fun! October brings cooler weather finally to my neck of the woods. I am loving the cool temperatures and lower humidity! The cool temperatures and our current challenge to add brown or kraft paper to your project has me really feeling autumn!<br />

I used one of the new releases, <a href="http://samistampsshop.blogspot.com/">Jack O'Lantern Mane</a>, for this project. I found this awesome digital paper in my stash and thought it fit the challenge and the image perfectly. A few pretty embellishments and it was done! <br />
<br />
You can pop over to the <a href="http://samistamp.blogspot.com/2017/10/new-release-spooky-unicorns-and-sami.html">challenge</a> and play along for a chance to win Sami Stamps prizes. Just make sure to use a Sami Stamps image to be eligible.<br />

Today I'm sharing an awesome card featuring one of our newest Spooky Unicorns!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eProIOAI0-s/Weo0J9LxB0I/AAAAAAAAfRU/-Y9yg4lLzjEJBJ_Pit-4vv3aIRChZmuyACLcBGAs/s1600/Spooky%2BUnicorn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1136" data-original-width="1389" height="326" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eProIOAI0-s/Weo0J9LxB0I/AAAAAAAAfRU/-Y9yg4lLzjEJBJ_Pit-4vv3aIRChZmuyACLcBGAs/s400/Spooky%2BUnicorn.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
I love this <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/549063478/digital-stamp-mushrooms-and-bats?ref=shop_home_active_1">Mushrooms and Bats</a> image and how you could take it in either the spooky route or the soft and gentle route. I tried to do a little cross of both by putting the card into a dark scene with the large super moon coming up behind her, but also giving her a playfully colored mane and some shimmer.<br />
<br />
For this card, I used my Prismacolor pencils. With so much coloring and dimension, I find pencils are best for me since I have a lot more control over where the color goes. And I can use a blending solution to smooth everything out once I'm done if I wish.<br />
<br />
Once everything was colored, I layered the whole panel onto a black piece cut to the same size, but shifted them so they criss-cross. Then layered these panels onto a Kraft mat that I added some brown colored embossing paste through a dot stencil onto.<br />
<br />
The sentiment was white heat embossed right onto my unicorn panel and that finished the card! <br />
<br />
You have a little bit of time left to join in our <a href="https://samistamp.blogspot.com/2017/10/new-release-spooky-unicorns-and-sami.html">current challenge to use brown or Kraft cardstock</a> on your card! I hope you will join in!!<br />

The challenge for this challenge was to use pearls or sequins. I thought the placement of pearls and sequins in this project was a lovely touch to a lovely card. Sami Stamps image "I Love My Sweet" was used for this card.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
It is another FUN Friday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you ready to Flip, Rotate, Shake and Sparkle??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you noticed that the image that Sami uses as her logo is her image called, Spring Branch?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did you know that using digital images can allow you more creativity than a rubber stamp??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this card I copy/pasted two images* into my editing program. (I actually used Word).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then i flipped on horizontally.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then i rotated both of the images to get an "arch" look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(*I made the image into a PNG so that i could layer it on top of my digital paper) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next i hole punched inside of the center of the "arch". Then i hand cut the inside out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now for a bit of "shaking"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just added sparkly tulle to the back of the image.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Got out my oval dies and made a "frame" for my shaker base.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I find using thick watercolor paper and gluing the layers together works well for my shaker base. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Rae Ann here with a Fun Friday inspiration that will take you under the sea! The new release this month was <a href="http://samistampsshop.blogspot.com/">Salty Seahorses</a> and I have one of the sweet stamps from the new release for you today.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I colored this sweet image using Copic markers then cut it out using my Silhouette Cameo. The background paper is from a digital collection called Ocean Melody which is available on <a href="https://www.snapclicksupply.com/">Snap Click Supply. </a><br />
<br />

Tammy used Sami Stamps Image "Holding Flowers In My hat." For this challenge you were challenged to use bright colors. The bright blue and yellow Tammy used turned out so fun! The blue patterned paper and lace also compliment each other in a playful yet lovely way.<br />
<br />
Tammy A, please e-mail me at sami@adayfordaisies.com for more information on your prize!<br />

I kept this card pretty simple. To achieve that super bright and fun background, I used a couple of post it notes to mask off one line at a time and blended out 3 colors from the post it note out to a really soft color. This gives a great sunburst illusion with lots of highlights.<br />
<br />
I kept the coloring on the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/536515368/digital-stamp-poppies-in-my-mane?ref=shop_home_active_1">Poppies in my Mane</a> image pretty simple with some light shading on the unicorn herself and some bright purple hair. I covered the flowers and her horn in some super sparkle as well as splattering the background with some more sparkle...because it's a unicorn card...you have to have sparkle on it!!<br />
<br />
The whole card is finished off with a simple white embossed sentiment and some glitter dots.<br />
