Stempel Spass

My friend Vicki over at the Muse designed a stunning card to use as inspiration. With Fathers Day being almost here I turned it into a Fathers Day card.... I got inspired by the horizontal stripes, the bold sentiment and the raised banner I used paint swatches since they come striped already and heat embossed the sentiment - STAMPlorations sentiments builders . I added a black line about the right side of each of the small letters to give it more dimension. The raised round I cut four times using a Nestabilities die. The sentiment and the bowler hat are Studio G stamps. Here is Vicki's fabulous card:                                                   I am also adding this card to:                                               ...

This is my second post today. P lease scroll down f or the Simply Create Too  challenge post. Its a new monthly challenge at STAMPlorations ! The theme is: I used three STAMPlorations sets for this card:  Subway Art Builders: Create ,  Distressed Floral Swirls ,  Vignette Retro Mod Shapes I inked up the little square from my all time favorite Retro Mod set, stamped it and then swooshed it side ways to get those smears. I just love how this came out! And those Subway Art builder sentiment fits perfectly - right? Nothing like padding yourself on your own shoulder.......Added the swirl stamp and some sequins. Now hop on over to our blog and get inspired by our fabulously talented guest designer Kim from Art Keeps Me Sane  and our wonderfully creative DT!

Hi Everyone, just a quick post tonight - I wanted to share a Fathers day card I made: This is a one layer card. I started out with the red hearts, masked them and then stamped the frame around it. I then masked the frame and stamped the other frames around. Added the mustache and the sentiment. The card below is actually my first try, but its not a one layer, as the heart is punched. I like the second card much better.... Materials: Frame - Stamp camp, sentiment - PTI father knows best, Moustache - Hampton Art I made this for the One Layer Simplicity challenge  - card with a border or a frame Bizzy Becs - Anything Goes Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Fathers Day Thanks for visiting me today!

I liked my recent baby card so much - I had to make another one..... I used the colors and sketch from the current CAS-Colours and Sketches challenge , see below. The baby elephant is more minty in real life - looks more blue in the picture.... I wanted to make a color neutral card, as the gender of the baby is not known yet..... I again pulled out my Paper Smooches set Chubby Chums - its my go-to set when it comes to baby cards...... and stamped it on patterned paper. The cork is from Home Depot, I think its a shelf liner or something like that and has a sticky back - how convenient.... Stamped the sentiment - it's from the same set. The toe nails and tusk I accented with liquid enamel.  I am also adding this card to the  Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge  - Anything goes and Less is More - use more than one stamp (I used 3) And Dream Valley  has Baby as a theme - I am on the DT - perhaps you wan to play as well! Thanks for vis...

For the next two weeks, until June 13 you can play with us using this sketch: I used the Cluster stamping technique for this card in addition to some masking.  I started with heat embossing the THANKS in clear I then masked first the vertical line and then the horizontal line and sponged away from the post it note.  I then added randomly those little flowers in different colors. I wiped off the color from the heat embossed thank you with a damp cloth and added some pearls.  Materials: All STAMPlorations stamps:  VIGNETTE-eclectic florals ,  Sentiment Builders Thank You ,  Holiday Artsy . pearls You may already know  Monika  our fabulous Guest Designer.
