New 2RedBananas Stamps

JACK AND THE SNOWMAN

2RedBananas is debuting some new stamps for October, which were released on Monday. They are really cute, so be sure to go to 2RedBananas.com and check them out.

I used the 2RB stamp Jack and the Snowman for this card. The base is brown CS with blocks of DP from the Alpine Frost collection by sei. The image is colored with watercolor pencils and a blender pen, along with some Stardust ink and Smooch (snowman and snowball - not sure how well it shows in the photo). I used some Stardust ink on the Making Memories flowers, too.

Jack is so cute, and I LOVE snowmen... which I never get to see now that I live in Texas, so I have to enjoy the stamped kind.

Go to 2RedBananas and see the rest of the stamps being released for this month.

2RB Banana Split Sunday Challenge 33

RECIPE CHALLENGE:

This week the Banana Split Sunday Challenge by 2RedBananas is a recipe challenge - that means you have to follow our recipe on your project, and the recipe is to use a square, the color red and three buttons. How fun is that?

For this challenge I made a card using brown CS for the base and a block of Autumn Splendor DP.

The image is a new 2RedBananas' stamp called Falling Leaves Jack, which is being released on 2RB this month. I cut it out in a square and matted it on brown CS. There is red ribbon along the top of the image and three tiny buttons on the lower right-hand corner.

I enjoyed going by a recipe (which is the ONLY way I cook around my house). I hope you'll try it too. Go to 2RB 's blog to participate and see the DT member's samples.

SUPPLIES USED
Stamps: Falling Leaves Jack - 2RedBananas
Paper: CS - Bazzil, Autumn Splendor - Making Memories

This week's 2RedBananas' Banana Split Sunday Challenge uses a sketch. So, if you love sketches as much as I do, you'll want to go to 2RedBananas' blog to check out the sketch and enter your project. You can also see the DT members' samples.

I used the sketch for a card. The base is cream CS with blocks of Making Memories Autumn Splendor DP. The image is Pumpkin Penny from 2RedBananas. It's stamped with StazOn and colored with watercolor pencils. The sentiment is from the Birthday Sentiment collection by CC Designs.

Did I mention that I love using sketches? I finished this card in about 15 minutes (which is pretty fast for me). Hope you'll join the Bananas this week and show us your stuff.

This week's 2RedBananas' Banana Split Sunday Challenge is a color challenge - use black, orange and purple. Which are awesome Halloween colors, of course. Go to 2RB's blog to submit your project in the challenge and to see the DT members' samples.

The card base is black CS with a block of orange DP from the Boo to You Collection by My Mind's Eye. There is a piece of Lavender Mesh Ribbon by May Arts tied around the block of DP, and also purple rhinestones in the upper right corner. The letters were cut from purple CS using the Makin' the Grade cartridge by Cricut. There is some purple Stardust ink on the letters.

2RB Banana Split Sunday Challenge 30

HERE'S TO HALLOWEEN

This week's 2RedBananas' Banana Split Sunday Challenge is to create a Halloween project. One random participant will be awarded a Jack-O-Lantern Penny stamp by 2RB. You don't want to miss this one, so go to 2RB's blog to participate and see the DT members' samples.

This week I went with a layout for Kate's 1st Year album. The base is DP from the Boo to You Collection by My Mind's Eye. All of the DP and die cuts used on this layout are from this adorable collection.

I added border strips along the right-hand side (along with three green rhinestones) and some pumpkin die cuts to the lower left-hand corner (with cute black rhinestone eyes). I also stamped Jack-O-Lantern Penny, by 2RedBananas, colored her with watercolor pencils, trimmed her out and tucked her behind the die cuts.

Super easy, and this paper and stamp image make it impossible to not be cute. Please join the Bananas and show off your Halloween project.
