STAMPlorations Challenge Reminder

This is a reminder post for the February STAMPlorations Anything Goes Challenge.

I used the beautiful Blue Blooms ATC Ephemera.  Using a hexagon die [from my stash] I cut into the ATCs, and mounted the cut shapes onto a shadow die.  I do adore the colors and images on these ATCs.

The fun Skinny Sentiments hello fit in the corner space perfectly! 

You can play along over on the STAMPlporations Blog.  Remember, it's anything goes, and, you do not have to use STAMP products [though if you have any...] 😀

February Instagram ATC Hop

I have to say again, I love this hop!  I adore making ATCs!

After making a master background sheet with a mixed of paints, and sprays I cut it into the ATC size [3.5x2.5] and starting layering and adding fun products to complete them.  I used some wood shaped products from my stash, painted them and glued them on.  I used some inside cardboard from a box for even more texture, and added more paint and some white splatter.  I then used my sewing machine - I love stitching on these fun mini works of art.  Lastly, I added some Avery hand punched words.

Yep - I am thrilled with the end result!

Memory Box Day

I'm over on the Memory Box blog today.  As par for me, I am also having a condensed post here on my blog.

I am still using the new release, Birthday Blossoms, specifically, the Dahlia Stems 6x6 Cling Stamp with matching Stencils, along with the Birthday Greetings Stamp Set.  I also snuck in the Polkadot Stencil Set, and the fun Birthday Party Foiled Greeting White Tag.

This stamp [Dahlia Stems Cling Stamp] is a 6x6 size.  I never make that large of a card, however... I stamped and stencil colored the entire image, and then cut out what I wanted to use for my A2 card.

The win of this larger stamp?  The extra left over panel made the perfect inside gift for a matching bookmark!  [I'll be using this again in my future.]

=======================

I made a second card by partially inking the image and stamping it on an A2 card panel.  Again, using the stencil to color the image.  [Side note whoever started/created matching stencils to stamped images is a GENIUS! 😀 Right up there with the MISTI!]

I used the Polkadot Stencil Set for my side border and a different sentiment from the Birthday Greetings Stamp Set.

Okay, now that I have a coupe of posts under my belt with this new DT, I will be only creating 1 card per post. It will work better over on the Memory Box Blog set up.  Play, and learn something new each day 😀

CutCardStock Day

I am back today with another card made with CutCardStock products.  [Just a side note, probably 99% of any card I make with colored card stock is CCS.  I just don't link over in every post I create.]. I am having a fabulous time creating with their paper!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! My Valentine's Day card is using the following card stocks; Textured Pink Tutu, Textured Fruit Punch Pink, Metallic Juniper, and a little strip of Classic Crest Smooth.

I'm kinda loving this card!  Enjoy your Heart Day 🩷

See you next week~

Okay, this is an easy challenge!  I love that.

So many things about this card I am happy with!  The colors, all the lovely texture, a simple sentiment. I used papers from CutCardStock, and I adore the turquoise Hummingbird color with the texture on it.  

The little additions make for a great card!
