STAMPlorations Inspirations #366

It's time for another STAMPlorations inspiration.  For today's card I made a quick one - seriously, less then 5 minutes!

I used one of the Spring Florals A2 Card Fronts.  [I think these card front are just stunning!]  I only wish I could water color like this, but then again, why when I can just purchase a package of them already done! 😍

I went on to add a sticker from Spring Magic Clear Stickers, and this beautiful card is done!  I am sending this as a get well card. Receiving a card this pretty will definitely make my friend feel better.

STAMPlorations Inspiration #365

It's time for the STAMPloration Inspiration Day here on my blog.  Today I went with a monotone card.  It's been a while since I made one of those~

I started by stamping [with Versamark] and white embossing the flower image from Bloomfully: Sparkle Stamp Set, and went on to sponge on Wilted Violet Distress Ink over the entire panel.

I added some sprinkled water [for interest], and stamped the sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black ink.  Once that all dried, I adhered it to a framed panel, and then adhered that to the 4.25" by 4.25" card base.  I finished this card off by adding 3 gems [from my stash].

STAMPlorations Inspirations #364

It's Tuesday!  Time for STAMPloration inspiration.  Not realizing it, my card today is really similar to last weeks.  That said, it's different enough, that I am going with it.

I started with the fabulous Bold Florals stencil and inked on some color. The trick?  Tape off areas you don't want ink to go before inking the images.  See photo below.

My sentiment is from Just Because.

STAMPlorations Inspiration #362

It's Tuesday, and that means another fun day using STAMPlorations products.  Today, I am also entering this set of ATC's to [my favorite] challenge - A Tiny Craft (ATC) #7; masculine.  When I saw the topic, I knew I wanted to make a set of ATC's for my husband's son and wife.  They are planning a 4 month motorcycle trip across the country.  East coast all the way up to Purdue, Alaska!  18,000+ mile road trip.  To say I am impressed is an understatement!  They each have their own bikes and helmets with communication built in to "talk" to one another.  I can't even imagine this adventure they are going to enjoy!

That said, I had to use the Born To Roam stamp set.  It has the most perfect sentiments and images for this small gift I'm giving them. 

I started by grabbing some stashed inked panels and cut them to the 3.5 x 2.5 ATC size. I stamped the images with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and embossed them with clear embossing powder.

I stamped the sentiments on black card stock, and embossed with white embossing powder.  This is just a challenge for me!  [No matter how much pouncing I do with my embossing bag, I still get tiny white everywhere! Just sayin...]  As you can tell, I kept these ATC's very simple.  I know dil will be journaling the trip, so I hope she can use these as a bookmark maybe?  Who knows.  I just do know that these are the perfect ATC's for them!

STAMPlorations Inspirations #361

It's time again for my STAMPlorations inspiration.

For today's card, I started by making a background panel.  I swiped ink direct to paper for a pattern, using my self made template, I drew on some hexagons, and stamped some hearts from Big Dreamer stamp set.  Background done.  Using the Nesting Tags #1, I cut out a tag [and mini one], stamped on the sentiment from the same set, Big Dreamer, and embossed it.

I'm happy with this end result.  I do love geometrical cards. 😀

STAMPlorations Inspiration #356

It's time for my STAMPloration Inspiration.

Today I went for a basic card, but I think it carries well.

I used the Wonky Stitched Grid Texture Plate on the actual card base.  I just adore the texture these plates add to a card.

I went on the cut the Spring Flower Layering Die 3 times, and the forth in red that I used to inlay the center and petals of the flower.  Lastly, I used the Thanks Word Die [layered 3 times too] for the sentiment.  The sequins are from my stash.  Like I said, a basic card, but it works!

STAMPlorations Inspiration #355

It's Tuesday, and that means it's time for the STAMPlorations Inspiration here on the ole blog.

Lately, I seem to be addicted to the Paper Good items.  Of course, besides that they are beautiful, they are also so easy to color and add to your card!

For todays card, I started with a paper striped background and cut it out with Curly Labels/ Tags Nesting Dies.

I used the Make a Wish Die, [layered 3 times] for a sentiment, and then I Copic colored 3 of the images from the Doodled Blooms Colorables.  For added interest, I cut the card panel with the Crazy Running Stitch Rectangle Die.  Have you checked out the Paper Goods over at the store?  Well worth investigating!

STAMPlorations Inspiration #354

As the year floats on by [quickly], it's time for the first STAMPlorations inspiration of February.

I started with the negative cut from the Number Die Plate, and then adhered [2 layers] of the positive 64 onto a circle.  Using the Shaker Balloons #3 Oval Dies, I cut the balloons, and stuffed them with the pretty Blue Shimmer Shaker Blends.

A fun card, that will work for either male or female, as long as they will be 64 ;).

STAMPlorations Inspiration #353

It's time for my STAMPloration inspiration.  Today I am going with a sympathy card.  Fortunately, I don't "need" it currently, but I will have it in my stash if I do.

I grabbed an inked panel from my stash, and because this is a sympathy card, I wanted the colors muted.  Vellum works perfectly for what I wanted.  I used the flower image from Bloomfully: Sparkle, and a sentiment from Blooming Buds in simple black ink.

Simple, but I hope appropriate.

STAMPlorations Inspiration #352

It's time for my STAMPloration inspiration.  Again for this week, I used the fun Paper Goods, Bloom Cutups ATCs, only this time I used them on a regular slimline card.

This was such an easy card to make!  I cut the card base [8.5x 4] and adhered the ATCs onto the base.  No cutting, no adjustments, just the perfect fit!

I hand drew some black framing, and lastly, I added a 3 layered Celebrate from Skinny Sentiments.  Yep, super easy, and I love the end result!  So fun.

STAMPlorations Inspiration #350

It's STAMPlorations Inspiration time today on my blog today.

For this card, I used [my favorite] Circle All Over Cover Plate.  I adore the texture this plate adds.  I taped off some framing, and then sponged on green and yellow ink.  [This is so satisfying to take the tape off! Such crisp lines]

I also used [another favorite of mine] the Fluttering Zen 1 Layering Die.  The sentiment is from my stash.
