STAMPlorations Sketch Challenge #13

This is my third post today - please scroll down for the House of Cards blog hop and DT call and for the Dream Valley challenge


We have a fabulous new sketch for you her at STAMPlorations! For the next two weeks, until June 13 you can play with us using this sketch:



I used the Cluster stamping technique for this card in addition to some masking. 




I started with heat embossing the THANKS in clear


I then masked first the vertical line and then the horizontal line and sponged away from the post it note. 



I then added randomly those little flowers in different colors.


I wiped off the color from the heat embossed thank you with a damp cloth and added some pearls. 



Materials: All STAMPlorations stamps: VIGNETTE-eclectic floralsSentiment Builders Thank YouHoliday Artsy. pearls

You may already know Monika our fabulous Guest Designer. And of course you have to see what our awesome DT has created, to spark your mojo!

And if that is not enough - there are prizes on offer for our sketch challenges - and if you enter both sketch challenges for June and the monthly challenge (starts Friday) you may just win these fabulous Tim Holtz stencils!

Again the challenge is open until June 13. The winner will be announced June 15.

Great card, Cornelia!! That cluster of flowers is just amazing and I love how you created dimension in one layer. You're so creative in combining those 3 stamp sets to create a gorgeous one layer -- and those pearls are the perfect finishing touches! Awesome that you shared a tutorial too :o)

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) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! 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!

Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
