STAMPlorations Inspiration #225

Welcome to more STAMPlorations Inspiration.

Today I used some [very neglected] washi tape, along with a dual stacked CUTplorations Clustered Heart Die.

I also used the new Good Things Clear Stickers sentiments.  I adore the font of these sentiment stickers.  They help make the card elegant. [These come in packages of 8, a total of 32 stickers - 4 of each sentiment.]

Dare 2B Artzy Day

It's my day for Dare 2B Artzy products. (I'm over on the D2BA Blog too) Today, I started with a water colored background, with some added splatter.  I colored the background die from from Congrats Word Die to match, and used black card stock for the word.

I then stamped the pretty floral image from Blossom using the D2BA Black Ink, and cut it out.  I like the look of the b&w image against the colored background.  (Plus, if you aren't great at coloring [raises hand], this still shows off the gorgeous image.)

This card is going to be perfect for my fellow co-worker!

That's it for today's post.  I will have one more on July 24th,  and that will be the last of my Design work for Dare 2B Artzy.  Since I am retiring in 53 days (!) I am stepping down so DH and I can get to traveling!  Oh yeah!

Happy Little Stampers ATC Challenge

For this month's ATC Challenge, I made Artist Trading Coins.  I just love these, and it makes for a little change from the traditional ATC's.

 I also took an easy way to create these by using beautiful downloaded paper.  I just loved the look of these roses and flowers, so I printed out a full sheet, and cut out the circles.

I framed with black card stock, and added a few of my pre-cut sentiments [Simon Says, You Got This] to the front.  Sometimes, you can create in an easy manner :)

Your turn.  Come on over to Happy Little Stampers ATC Challenge and play along!  We would like to see your creations!!

Addicted to CAS Challenge #163

When I first saw this word I thought fire, and then slap on forehead, candle!  Yep, that worked for me.

 I used the perfect set from Dare 2B Artzy, Bright Birthday.  I do love the "flame". :)

Between the color combo and image on this card, this makes for a perfect masculine card.  Just what I needed....

Your turn.  Come on over to the Addicted to CAS Challenge blog and play along.  How do you see heat?

Just Us Girls Challenge #495 - Word Week

I went with the word smile on my card today. I used a retired STAMPlorations image that I cut down to get to the smile sentiment.

 Once again, I did some ink blending -- apparently, this is a rather addictive technique - [just sayin].

I also used STAMPlorations Trendy Birds 2 stamp set.

Okay, your turn.  Pop on over to the JUGS Challenge #495 and play along with your Smile card.

CAS-ual Fridays Day

It's time for my CAS-ual Fridays day here on the ole blog.  [I'm over on the CFS Blog too].

Today I am using the newly released Little Huggables, along with the matching Little Critters Fri-Dies.

I have to say, I love this set.   These Huggables are just too cute.  I used a scrap card stock striped circle as my background. [Thanks Laura Bassen]

My sentiment is from the Whole Shebang stamp set. Doesn't this card just make you smile?  It sure does me.

Seize the Birthday Challenge

This challenge is all about sunshine.

 So, I watched Kristina Warners YouTube video on color blending, and had to give it a try.  While she used Oxide inks, I used regular Distressed inks.  They blended beautifully too.

I love the way this resembles sunshine. Works for the challenge in my mind. :)  I used an old stamp set from Rubbernecker, and the sentiment from CAS-ual Fridays, Shenanigans.

Okay, your turn!  Come on over to the Seize the Birthday Challenge and play along.  Sunshine is optional, but it must be a birthday card.
