STAMPlorations inspiration #335

Welcome to another Tuesday inspiration post from the STAMPlorations inspiration team girls. 

 

I'm going for the heavy-loaded version today. Actually, I just took a look at my massive PP stash. Pulled out some fall-ish paper and let myself be inspired.

Art Flowers 1 stencil

Thanks die

 distress ink, gold embossing powder, fibers

I chose the olive green PP, chose Peeled Paint DI and stenciled some of Sanna's flowers over the PP. I adhered the PP to my cardbase and noticed the "iris bloom" on the strip I cut off. Decided that would look cool popped up on that vine and voila! The half heat embossed stacked die cut is a looker. The fibers behind it... let's just call it a flash of genius. Honestly, I tripped over the bucket I was saving the pieces in. (tee hee hee)

STAMPlorations inspiration #334

Hi Friends! It's time for another Tuesday inspiration post from the STAMPlorations inspiration team girls. 

 

Another fun CAS card today.

Folk Flowers stamp

So Loved stamp

Trendy Spring Blooms die

 Zig markers, washi

I revisited a previous card of mine for this design and pulled out Shirley's Folk Flowers. In contrast to the stark B/W I colored the die cut blooms with pink and orange and KAPOW! A strip of washi with some gold dots never hurts either. Do you prefer CAS or heavy-loaded designs? Which do you prefer to make?

STAMPlorations inspiration #333

Hello there September! Hope you're all well. It's time for another Tuesday inspiration post from the STAMPlorations inspiration team girls. 

 

Today's card is a fun CAS one.

Art Marks 2 stamp

World Birthday Cakes stamp

 Zig markers

Sometimes ya gotta take a closer look at the images in a stamp set, right? I love the art marks series and decided to give that little rainbowish mark center stage as a rainbow in all its glory! I used my Misti and markers to color the individual arcs. Stamped once with color, spritzed the stamp and stamped again. I like this trick to soften up the image a little. Repeated for each color.

I added a birthday sentiment and adhered the little rectangle to a random stamped cardbase.

STAMPlorations inspiration #332

Back with one more summer Tuesday inspiration post from the STAMPlorations inspiration team girls. Adios August! 

 

Today's card uses the inlaid die cut technique on a heat embossed panel.

Art Marks 2 stamp

Perched Bird die

Hello die

 Forest Moss, Peacock Feathers, Fossilized Amber distress inks

green embossing powder

First I randomly stamped a panel with art marks and green heat embossed them. Then I die cut the bird from the panel, inked him and inlaid him back into the panel on my cardbase. A die cut "hello" finished off my card. Do you like the result? Or do those heat embossed images on the bird bother you like they do me?

STAMPlorations inspiration #330

Welcome to another summer Tuesday inspiration post from the STAMPlorations inspiration team girls.

 

I've had another play with the ephemera tiles from the paper goods section of the STAMP store. This time I die cut one of the tiles into a circle for this everything-but-the-kitchen-sink card...

What's Up Ephemera

Art Marks 2 stamp

Birds of Paradise die

Art Border 3 die

Design Blox 7 stencil

I die cut the tile, a bird and another circle from inked scraps. I inked the edge of the cardbase using the stencil. Added some black stamping to the bird and larger circle and a little tidbit of die cut border and washi up top. Eclectic. But fun, right?

STAMPlorations inspiration #329

Time for another summer Tuesday inspiration post from the STAMPlorations inspiration team girls. 

I've had another play with the ephemera tiles from the paper goods section of the STAMP store. I like that the words/messages on these tiles work for multiple occasions. I've die cut one of the tiles for this CAS all encouragement card.

What's Up Ephemera

So Loved stamp

Gift Builder 2 die

Design Blox 7 stencil

I die cut the tile and created my present. I stamped the sentiment through the circle portion of the stencil onto my cardbase. Then I adhered the present and some washi strips.
