Birdie Love

Hi Friends!

Today I got a little birdie love for you as my DT piece for the Inspiration Post over on the STAMPlorations blog. Here it is ...

I just used a couple of bits from my desk to make this card. The negative For The Birds die-cut and the brusho background were made for each other. I added it to my stencilled and slightly splattered base card before finishing off with some sequins.

Here are the STAMPlorations products I used in today's card:

For The Birds Dies, Festive Bloomdala Stencil, Tweet Love

Thing With Wings Blog Hop & Linky Party

Here is how my card came together ...

I used a brusho coloured piece of card to back my black negative birds die-cut. For the background on my base card I wanted a little bit of texture and sponged a bit of Squeezed Lemon DI through the April Showers stencil. It is side on and created some subtle marks. I then stamped the Blossom Sprays in Weathered Wood DO to complete the background. My card was finished off with a little die-cut sentiment.

Here are the STAMPlorations products I used in today's card:

For The Birds Dies, Blossom Sprays #2, Everyday Sentiments Dies, Abstract April Showers Stencil

It's Your Day

Hi Friends!

Today I got a one-layer card for you as my DT piece for the Inspiration Post over on the STAMPlorations blog. Here it is ...

I used the size frame from the Squares Flexi-Template I wanted, attached it to my card before using the Bloom Joy #1 stencil, my small brushes and Izink inks to stencil the flowers.

The sentiment from Best Mom Ever was stamped directly onto my card to finish.

The bright flowers add so much interest that I felt adding anything else would make my card too busy.

Here are the STAMPlorations products I used in today's card:

Bloom Joy #1 Stencil, Squares Flexi-Template, Best Mom Ever

April Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge

Hi Friends!

It's time for a new lot monthly challenges over at STAMPlorations are back. Here is my DT piece for April's Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge over on their blog.

The theme for the current challenge is Stamps & Curves and the photo prompt can be seen below. Your project can either be inspired by the theme, photo prompt or both. The full challenge rules can be found here on the STAMPlorations Blog.

I went with the theme and picked a couple of colours from the photo. I created a messy background using stamping, water spritzing, blending and splatters before edging with gold embossing. I added the die-cut sentiment and finished off with a stamped, fuzzy cut, scrunched up and layered flower.

One winner of a $20 gift code will be picked by one member of our DT.
Plus 3 randomly drawn winners will each receive a $7 gift code.

Rise & Grind

Hi Friends!

Today I got a little coffee lover's card for you as my DT piece for the Inspiration Post over on the STAMPlorations blog. Here it is ...

Recent sunshine made me think of picnics, something which inspired my card. I stamped the leaves and waves from the Art Marks 3 set as my lawn. The blue from the sentiment is my sky and the coffee cups are a little bit like flowers.

I am entering my card at:

Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop

Art Marks 3, Tag O' Coffee, Rise & Grind Phrase Die

Good Things Happen

Hi Friends!

Today I'm sharing a card made for the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop as part of the STAMPlorations DT. I went with another favourite brew ... tea ... here it is

 

Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop

I used some decorative tapes to add the soft spring colours. The gery stamped Blossom Sprays #2 and the die-cut Bloomdala Bliss Felicity die used as a little doily finished off the backdrop for my loosely watercoloured tea cup. The centura pearl base card adds a subtle shimmer which sadly can't bee seen in the photo.

Here are the STAMPlorations products I used in today's card:

Always Tea Time, Blossom Sprays #2, Bloomdala Bliss Felicity Dies
