STAMPlorations Monthly Challenge #8

This is my second post today. Please scroll down for the Simply Create Too challenge post.


Its a new monthly challenge at STAMPlorations! The theme is:





I used three STAMPlorations sets for this card: Subway Art Builders: CreateDistressed Floral SwirlsVignette Retro Mod Shapes



I inked up the little square from my all time favorite Retro Mod set, stamped it and then swooshed it side ways to get those smears. I just love how this came out! And those Subway Art builder sentiment fits perfectly - right? Nothing like padding yourself on your own shoulder.......Added the swirl stamp and some sequins.


Now hop on over to our blog and get inspired by our fabulously talented guest designer Kim from Art Keeps Me Sane and our wonderfully creative DT!

And here is our prize:
2 stamp sets of choice is STAMPlorations stamps were used, if not then one stamp set.

The challenge ends June 30; the winner will be announced July 3.

I hope to see you there! Thanks for visiting!

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.

Addicted to Stamps and More #134 and Spotlight Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at  ATSM ! For the next two week its going to be CAS - just my thing! And hopefully yours, too! I made a birthday card, because for some reason I always need more and never seem to have enough.... I was inspired by this weeks Make it Monday , where the talented  Ashley Newell  shows us a video about  stamps and doodling. Since I  mainly own die cuts from Papertrey and not so many stamps that would fit this theme I made my own out of fun foam, using my latest Papertrey dies (just got the order a few days ago) and cut those in fun foam - it works so well - voila - you have our own stamps, spending only a fraction of the money! I doodled around the stamps as you can see. Gives you kind of a cool effect....a little more tremor and one would think I drank too much ;) Added tiny enamel dots - do you know about this month House of Cards challenge - its enamel dots - thought I'll let you know..... Our wonderful spons...
