STAMPlorations Christmas Release - Day 2

Day 2 today for the STAMPlorations Christmas Release.  Today, we are focusing on Deepti's new set; Yuletide Deer.  This guy is pretty awesome!

I saw a photo on Pinterest that inspired this CAS water color.  While easy, it still packs a wow [I think].  Color up the stamp, lightly spritz with water, and stamp.

You know the drill, pop on over to the STAMPlorations Blog to see the other Designer's creations, along with the amazing offering of prizes Shery has!  Don't forget to leave your comment here too.

Just Us Girls #406 - Trend Week

This is going to be a fun gallery this week.

For my card today, I used some shiny mirror paper, along with a snowflake from CAS-ual Friday's Flurry Fri Dies.  My joy is cut from the alphabet set that I got from Ali Express for $2.83! Yep, all letters for only $2.83.  [I love this site!]  Plus, see the scalloped frame?  Yes sirree, Ali Express again!

So, it's your turn.  Come on over to Just Us Girls Challenge, and show us how you will use shiny on your card.

CAS-ual Fridays & Cardmaker Blog Hop

Today, we are having a collaboration hop with the Cardmaker Magazine Designers.  Our theme is Fun with Flowers. If you are hopping, you should be coming from Diana Carr's blog.

For my card I used the newly released [and oh so adorable] CAS-ual Friday's stamp set, Tutu. 

I love the versatility of being able to color or not color these fun images.  Because I used a couple of patterns with paper, I opted to not color her.  I love the way she pops against the designer paper.  I also used the Scallop Tag Fri-Die.

[This set absolutely makes me smile every time I look at it.]

This is the end of the Fun with Flowers Hop. Don't forget to leave a comment here, there will be 4 - $40+ random prize packages given away! You should pop on over to the CAS-ual Fridays blog to see the fun give away prizes. Want to do the entire hop?  You can see the entire list over on the Cardmaker Magazine Blog.

I hope you enjoyed the hop!

Dare 2B Artzy Day

Hi all - this is my 2nd post today.  [My CAS-ual Friday's card is below]  For my Dare 2B Artzy card today, I used the awesome new set, Playful Posies Layered, and a sentiment from Get Well Smiles.

I stamped 2 card panels [using my MISTI], and then cut a strip and colored it for a spotlight effect.  I also used some of the designer paper from Modern Bliss on my card base.

CAS-ual Friday Day

Hi all - it's my day over on the CAS-ual Friday's blog.  I'm showing the same card here, so no having to pop over to check it out.  You're welcome. :)

I made a shaker card using the Full on Floral stamp for the background.  I white embossed it, and then used some distressed inks for blending.  My sentiment is from Dream Then Do.

Inspired By Stamping Day

I do have to say that I thoroughly enjoy being on the Inspired By Stamping Team.  Joanna draws amazing flowers that, surprisingly, I enjoy coloring!  A few years ago, I wouldn't of said that.  This hobby is all about growing and improving right? :).

Today, I went with a trend right now, colored pencils.  I like that they are easy to use, and they do blend well too.

I used the gorgeous stamp set, Cherry Blossoms, and a sentiment from Big Thanks. I also printed a sheet of one of the [many] digital paper that Joanna offers, Birthday Girl Bash Paper. 

I hope you enjoyed my card today.  Remember, you can always use the discount code to save 15% off any regular priced item from Inspired By Stamping.
