STAMPlorations Inspiration #231 and a Farewell

Hi Everyone,

its inspiration time at STAMPlorations!
For me this is going to be me last inspiration post - I am stepping down from this wonderful team. I have been with STAMPlorations almost from the beginning and have been watching this company grow and prosper. It was a wonderful experience and I will miss it dearly. However work has made my life difficult and I don't know what the future will hold for me. I simply could not commit to another term.

I wanted to say thank you to Shery Russ the owner and mastermind behind STAMPlorations for all her hard work, for having faith in me, supplying me with those wonderful stamps and letting me be part of this! Extra thanks also to Monika Skinner our hard working blog coordinator!

Thankful for Autumn, Mixed Media Elements

I stamped the pumpkins. Masked them. Smooshed the background. Used some Mixed Media elemnt stamps to color the pumpkins. Trimmed my panel and added a thin strip of black paper. Stamped the sentiment.

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
