STAMPlorations Spotlight Week Day 1

Hi Everyone,

today is the day you have been waiting for - DAY 1 of our week long blog hop at STAMPlorations featuring 5 new stamp sets.



Today we are showing you WORLD BIRTHDAY CAKES - designed by Shirley Bampton.

I just love those whimsical stamps - they may just be my favorite from this release!

preview-TBSWorldBirthdayCakes

I choose the Sydney opera house and used one of my favorite color combinations - pink and gold on water color paper.


I just LOVE the gold here (Fine Tech Pearl colors)- beautiful shimmer and saturation of those German water color paints. 

I did  a light color wash around the sentiment. And of course - splatters....



Don't forget to leave a comment on this post and the rest of the team's blogs for a chance to win one of the prizes. Commenting closes on August 23. Winners will be announced on August 24.

Check out what the rest of the team made! You'll find links to all our projects here.

Linking up with:
Seize the Birthday - anything birthday


Happy hopping!

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! 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 same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
