Tuesday Morning Sketches #142


Good Morning!  I am soooo excited about today.  It's Tuesday so that, of course, means a new sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches but I am more excited about our sponsor this week.  We have Kim and Bobbi of Raisin Boat sponsoring us this week.  I have mentioned them before, but let me share with you how much I love this company!

Raisin Boat is, how I describe, the Netflix of the stamping world.  You rent stamps!  You receive a minimum of 2 stamp sets per month and you get to play and create with them that whole month and then send them back (postage paid round trip!) and get two new sets to play with (when eligible per plan).  And if you decided YOU SIMPLY CANNOT part with a set, then it's available for purchase at a member discount.  But not only do they have LOTS of stamps to choose from, also available is card stock is super yummy colors, Stickles and other embellishment options, ink and Copics!  This is such a wonderful place to shop.

I created two cards to share with you.  This one uses one of the sets I had rented....


This card was made entirely out of one stamp set called Curly Cute.

And then Kim & Bobbi were generous and sent us stamp sets to play with and keep.  This set is up part of the prize package being offered.  And... ahem... bottom line - it's fabulous!!



And for those who know me - this sentiment is totally me!  I talk like that.  LOL  And this card features their FAN. TAS. TIC!! card stock.  I love it, the colors are rich and vibrant.  The texture is smooth and the weight is perfect.

I know I sounded like a big commercial and I'm not trying to sell you anything - I am just very excited about this company and their products.  I hope to build a strong relationship between RB and TMS and me, too!  If you'd like to try their products for free, then just play along with us for a chance to win.

Just playing around...

Hi everyone!  Happy Saturday night.  It's been a busy day at my house.  Grocery shopping, cleaning, washing bed linens, etc.  You know that routine.  Anyway, after treating the kids to pizza for dinner I finally got a chance to play at my craft table.

I received my first shipment of stamps from Raisin Boat.  If you've not heard of Raisin Boat, this is a really cool company created by two mom's - Kim & Bobbi.  They created the Netflix of the stamping world.  It works a lot like Netflix but it's way more fun.  They have an exclusive line of stamps that are fantastic and a store stocked with card stocks, embellishments, papers, etc.  I can't wait to have more money so I can get some of their card stock - the colors are gorgeous!  Raisin Boat will be sponsoring Tuesday Morning Sketches in the very near future, but I am also trying like heck to be on their design team - so I wanted to play with the stamps to become Boat Crew worthy.


This is from a set called Imagine.  It's beautiful.  I combined my favorite colors (purple and olive green) with a great layout from Quirky Crafts Challenges.  I am super pleased with my card.

Supplies:
Card stock:  Neenah Classic Crest, Perfect Plum, Pale Plum
Paper:  Latte matstack (DCWV)

Ink:  Perfect Plum, Pale Plum, Mellow Moss
Tools:  Oval cutters (CM), Cuttlebug, Script embossing folder, 7/8" circle punch
