Like-O-Meter – SSC 135

January 22, 2010 By Connie | 10 Comments

 

Today is Stamping 411's Sketch Challenge #135!  This one, although it looks very simple, gave me just a little trouble.  I think because of the stamp image I chose.  The position of the image had the white space in the lower right corner, instead of the upper left where I needed to put something because of the sketch.  I compromised by putting a little something in both locations!

I love Stampin' Up!'s whimsy sometimes.  LIke this single stamp, Like-O-Meter in the back of the Occasions Mini!  I especially like the "a lot but not like a stalker" words!  Too funny!  My friend, Cassy, gave out a CUTE swap card at Leadership using this set!

I started with a base card of Real Red cardstock.  I added a piece of Sending Love Designer Paper and layered it on Basic Black cardstock.  On the left side of the Basic Black, I used the Pinking Hearts punch along the edge.

I stamped the Like-O-Meter image in Basic Black on Whisper White, then colored in the themometer with the Real Red Stampin' Write marker up to …a lot but not like a stalker.  I added a very light coat of Crystal Effects over top of the red.  You need to be careful because the marker is water based and will run if you add too much.  When dry, I punched the Small Heart in the lower right corner, then layered it on Real Red, then Basic Black cardstocks.  Finally I added a Black Gingham Bow to the upper left corner.

Too fun!  I love it!  I think my hubby will get this for Valentine's Day…not too girly looking so he should like it!

Have a wonderful weekend!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 18 years and had my 17 year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    I bought this stamp just for the "stalker" sentiment.  I used it for an organized swap I was in before Leadership.  Love it to pieces!!!!
    Your card is adorable!!!  I love the pinking heart border.  It balances the card out beautifully. 
    The Crystal Effects thermometer just makes this card!!!! 
    Have a fabulous weekend!

    Super cute card!  I love the punch and paper you used.  I also love that you used crystal effects on the thermometer to make it shiny hot!  Very cool!

    Hi Connie! I love your card…that stamp set is SO cute, and I always giggle a little when I read the line that you've used on your "how much I like you" thermometer, it's my favorite one!
