Stempel Spass

I love everything about this weeks  Muse  card by  Therese Calvird  - the color combo, the inlaid die-cuts and all those different fonts! I had to recreate it......I  actually need another Mothers Day card - we are celebrating  Mothers Day this Sunday with my in laws. So I made this card for my husband to give it to his mother: I used the Mom subway art builder set #2 by STAMPlorations for this card. The little circles are from teh Holiday Artsy set  and the die cut is Simon Says. Of course it needed some enamel dots..... This is Thereses' fantastic card: Have a great day!

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!

Hi Everybody,  its another challenge at  Dream Valley  and the challenge is "Say it with Words"! Are you up for this? Just use a large sentiment or a poem as your focal point.  This is really easy to do with those MOM stamps from STAMPlorations . I love them and I also love the different fonts. I made a little chalk board here, that I hung up with twine and the help of eyelets into this tent card.  Here is a side view: You fold up a strip of cardstock into an "M" and glue it to the front and back panel of your card. There is still enough space on the back to write something personal.  The vines on the side are also STAMPlorations - they are from the set  Distressed Floral Swirls ,   Added tiny pearls and colored with Copics.  Now  head over to the blog  and let our wonderful DT inspire you!

CAS Colours and Sketches  has purple and yellow as color combo this week - its quite pretty, so I made a card for this challenge, using my new  Stamplorations - MOM stamps . I combined two of them, it just fits an A2 card that way.  I really like all the different fonts on those stamps. I first masked the center strip and then sponged in yellow and two different shades of purple, before I stamped the Mom stamps with Versafine ink. The little flowers are form the  Stamplorations set  Eclectic Florals . I    fuzzy cut them and  added Stickles in the center. By the way, r ight now you can get all MOM sets in the prerelease sale for 30% off! I am also playing with this card in the  Snippets Playground   - made the flowers with snipptes

It shades of  grey at CASual Fridays . I like grey.  I die cut the rectangles with Dienamics dies and sponged the inside twice in the center, the larger rectangle only once to create different shades of grey. I went around the borders with a white pen, to give it more definition. The sentiment is by STAMPlorations - the new MOM subway art builders set . I heat embossed it. Right now you can get all MOM sets in the prerelease sale for 30% off! Well, that is something to consider, with Mothers Day coming up soon! The flowers are from the Stamplorations set  Eclectic Florals . I colored the inside with chalks and markers and then fuzzy cut them and added little pearls in the center Other challenges: Simon Says Wednesday Challenge  - Anything goes with pearls CAS on Sunday - Color me pretty Pan Pastels - Frame it!
