STAMPlorations Things with Wings Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

we at STAMPlorations are having a spring blog hop featuring the new stamps and dies - you are going to love them!

 
The theme is Things with Wings - even if there are no wings on flowers....


I have two cards for you. For the first one I used those pretty trendy flower dies. I sprayed watercolor paper with Dylusion inks, let it dry and die cut a bunch of flowers. Arranged them on my card with a dark grey panel under neath. Added the word die - also brand new. I used fun foam for it.
For the grey panel I also used the stitched nesting die to give it more interest.

For my second card I used the butterfly row die and stamped it with Versamark black ink. Added watercolors and let it dry. I also used the  largest of the Stitched Nesting Dies and added the word die sentiment - love those different fonts!

I think your flowers do have wings, because they've flown straight to my heart! LOVE your bold blooms! As for your butterflies...swoon! Apologies for falling behind yet again, but this time the 'big move' is to blame! LOVE x LOVE my new house! Still so much to do, including the back-and-forth drives to deal with the townhouse. Anyway...a dynamic duo here! I'm so glad to be designing alongside you for this hop!

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

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...
