Brass & Bliss Double Duty

 

Today is the 22nd so this is the Double Duty Day!  This is the 54th month, so we are in to our 5th year!

Each month, we get to pick a stamp set from a predetermined company. Then, we will use that one stamp set and make two cards from the set.  Different images and sentiments from the same set can be used, or use the same image two different ways—Double Duty either way!  But, as an added challenge, one item must be used on both cards—same color cardstock, same ribbon, same stencil, same something.  Double Duty Again!  We will post both cards on our blog on the the 22nd of each month.  See-Double Duty again!  We will be sure to have fun getting doubly inky each month with a different stamp company.  Let’s have fun!

For June, we decided to use Brass & Bliss, what used to be called Rubbernecker Stamps.  They are a favorite company of mine as I demoed for Dave many, many years ago at a stamp show in the Milwaukee area for a few years.  

For this month, I picked a stamp and die set called Group of Friends.  This set is very appropriate for this group as it has the best sentiments for friendship!  I stamped the image twice and colored with my Copic Sketch Markers.  I die cut the image and one of the sentiments.  For the backgrounds I picked a Stampin' Up embossing folder called Absolutely Argyle for the one on the right and used gray cardstock.  I added some black twine on the die cut sentiment.   For the one of the left, I picked silver metallic cardstock and used a Picket Fence Cobblestone background plate. I added Black and Silver Drip Drops from Taylored Expression Bits & Pieces bling.  Fun cards for some fun friends! 

Please be sure to check out the other Double Duty cards. Here is a link to Jeanette's,  Darlene’s,  and Terry's blogs. I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of sets of great cards. 

Next month we will do something different and use any Christmas image.. So be sure to check out our cards on June 22nd!
