Stempel Spass

Hello Everybody, its time again for another challenge at STAMPlorations     - very appropriate for this time of the year - its STAMPS and FLOWERS! For this card is used the VIGNETTE: Retro Mod Shapes  and  MOM SUBWAY ART BUILDERS #4 - TLC I also used my self made stencil that I have also used for THIS card, made out of vase dies from PTI. It should come to no surprise that the Retro Mod shapes is my absolute favorite set. I can't think of a more versatile set than that..... I just love playing around with those shapes.... We have a fabulous guest designer this month - its Sue from Cards by Q  - so glad you could join us this month, Sue! And of course we have fantastic cards by our DT - I am sure they will inspire you! Come on over and see for yourself! And if this is not enticing enough - here is our May Prize: Cloud9 Design Epoxy Accent Stickers, K&Co. Blue Awning Die-Cut Cardstock Tags, Elle's Studio Day to Da...

Betsy Feldman  shows us a cool technique on this weeks  Make It Monday . She calls it "Drop Shadow Die Cuts". Its simple, yet effective. I had to try it..... Looks cool right? All die cuts and stamps are Papertrey, except the "happy" - that's from Paper Smooches.  I am also playing in the Curtain call challenge this week. The delicious inspiration photo is below. Guess what the centers of my flowers are......... ......you got it!  Mini Marshmallows I am also linking this card with: Creative Friday  -   Kraft Snippets Playground   - everything die cut is made with snippets And just to show you the snow we had 2 days ago - now imagine that with an additional layer of perhaps 6 inches of heavy, wet snow followed by icy rain....... Stay warm!

The Play Date Cafe challenge #171 : I split this up into two separate blog entries, so that I can link each card separately.  The second card is made with Papertrey  vase dies, Hero Arts sentiment and the flowers are Sparkles and Sprinkle and Stampin' up, colored with Copics and embellisehd with Perfect Pearls and Stickles.  I hope you like them! Have a great day and let me tell you - I love your comments and thanks for your time visiting my blog!
