STAMPlorations Inspiration Project #27

Hi Everyone, its INSPIRATION day again at STAMPlorations! 

Again our wonderful DT made some beautiful cards to entice you playing with your stamps or stencils - STAMPlorations or otherwise. And perhaps I can also inspire you to play along with us!

I pulled out Shirley's wonderful bird stamp set and colored the kingfisher with watercolors. Gave him a party hat from Dee's Party  Mates set

SmallBirds-preview      PartyMates-web-preview



So, if you are up for it - CASE my card or any other card and link it up HERE over at STAMPlorations. The InLinkz gallery  will be open until the 5th of August - gives you plenty of time! One winner will be randomly drawn from all entries to win a $15 gift certificate or their choice of any 2 ARTplorations stencils.


Linking up with:
Colour Q
Less is More - masculine one layer
Simon Says Monday challenge - anything goes



Happy Stamping!

Mooie gestempelde kaart !
One layer vind ik altijd erg moeilijk, wil er altijd weer een basis onder
plakken in een van de tinten van de afbeelding !
Wie weet krijg ik nog inspiratie !

Cornelia, your ideas are genius. A kingfisher in a hat is an image I've certainly never seen before but he looks awesome, and your colouring is faultless. LOVE!
Thanks for sharing with us.

Fresh and fabulous, Cornelia - your party-hat sporting, googly-eyed kingfisher is quite the charmer! Brilliant! Oh yes, about my chickadee card...still not a bird fan, but those are a 'first step' to perhaps liking them (plus they don't really "look" like birds...whew!)

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fiftee...

We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful! Mirror Image stamp ,  Two Cats in a Tree If you want a video tutorial on how to do this I can highly recommend you watch THIS VIDEO on youtube. Explains it all in very little time! Or you can see the...
