STAMPlorations Inspiration Project #21


Hi Everyone, its INSPIRATION day again at STAMPlorations

The DT girls made some beautiful cards to entice you playing with your stamps or stencils - STAMPlorations or otherwise.

Today I have been playing with the Marigold from the new stamp club set The Birds and The Blooms.

I first stamped the Marigold 3 times on Kraft, then masked it with rubber cement. After that dried I gessoed it over, let it dry again and then rubbed of the cement. I still am learning how to do this correctly, since it did not cover everything consistently and little specks of Gesso remained on the paper....That did not make me happy, so I made myself a post -it mask and repeatedly stamped onto the Gesso. Still not happy.... stamped the flower onto white card stock and fuzzy cut it and mounted it with foam tape. Now I liked it..... Added the sentiment from the set Fond Expressions

I don't know if you did this "right" or not. Don't care, because I love it. White & Black on kraft with that lovely marigold makes me very happy...and, you know, it's all about me. Anyhoo, fabulous card...going to try this one, too.

Wonderful idea for a sympathy card. I actually brought some masking fluid back with me this spring, but haven't been brave enough to try it. Kudos!

This is really cool, Cornelia! Love how it turned out. I wonder if masking fluid would be easier to use rather than rubber cement? It's been a long time since I've used masking fluid. Anyway, fantastic card! :-)

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.

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
