Heart Full Of Love

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Day 5 Of the LOVE TAGplorations event over at STAMPlorations, and I decided to join the fun for a second time with this love themed tag ...

I used the large Luggage Tag Nesting Dies to cut the tag and randomly stamped the large sentiments from the Sentiment Builders Happy and Love in Smokey Slate and Real Red. I then sponged it with a little Smokey Slate and heat embossed the couple from the Vignette: Ever After set in black before edging the whole tag with gold Stickles. I then die-cut the phrase you & me from gold and black card, shadow layered and attached it in place. I die-cut the Clustered Hearts from three different shades of red card, layered as seen, attached two further hearts and finished off with red ribbon.

It's over to you now to join the LOVE TAGplorations party ...

.... by hopping and commenting on participating designer's blogs and creating your own love/Valentine's Day themed project, which must include a tag, to link up with the flash linky party. Your project can be anything from a card, art journal page, canvas, layout etc as long as it fits the theme 'Love/Valentine's Day' and has a tag in it somewhere.

As always with a blog hop, there are prizes you can win, here they are:

• - (3) randomly drawn winners from all comments left on the STAMPlorations Blog and participating designer's blogs will each receive a $10 gift certificate to the store
• - (1) randomly drawn participant in the Love TAGplorations Linky Party will receive her choice of stamp set (Pocket Blooms, A Full Heart, or Two of Us)
• - (1) randomly drawn participant in the Love TAGplorations Linky Party will receive her choice of any 2 of the new love-themed dies (Love, Always, XOXO, Forever, You & Me, Clustered Hearts)
• - (1) randomly drawn participant in the Love TAGplorations Linky Party will receive her choice of tag set: Luggage Tags or ATC/Tag Builder

Pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog for more Love TAGplorations inspiration, information and to join the party.

That's it from me for now. Have fun and enjoy the celebrations!

ARTplorations Stencil Blog Hop Day 5

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to the ARTplorations Stencil Blog Hop. This is where we, the STAMPlorations Girls, put our stencils through their paces.

For today's project I worked with the Droplets stencil to create this shaded purple beauty... here in the sunshine ...

... here without the shadows ...

... and here on the inside ...

I simply sponged some light purple pigment ink through the Droplets stencil shading as I went along. I stamped my sentiment from the Celebrate Artsy set in Imperial Purple Versafine ink and added some gems. I have lots of these gems and never used them ... until now! They were a perfect match and turned the droplets into a field of candles. At least that's what I like to think. :-)

I decided to go for an asymmetrical border for extra interest. On the inside I stamped the couple from the VIGNETTE Ever After set in the same light purple pigment ink (it looks a little more pink here) and my sentiment from the Birthday Cake in Imperial Purple before doodling a partial border.

I am entering my card at:

Inkspirational - purple

CASology - story

Check out what the rest of the team made! You'll find links to all our projects here. Feel free to leave comments as you go along. Every comment will be entered into a prize draw. Commenting closes on 29th May and the winners will be announced on 1st June. Good Luck!

Prizes:

SIX (6) winners (2 winners per day) will receive their choice of ARTplorations stencil. Winners will be randomly drawn from all comments left on the designers' blogs.

THREE (3) winners will each receive a $10 gift certificate. Winners will be randomly drawn from comments left on the STAMPlorations blog.

+ Extra prizes for those who participate in the Flash Stencil Project Linky Party and link up by May 31.

That's it from me for today.

Have a lovely day!
