STAMPlorations inspiration #313

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

I have a theme this month - white on white. 

I told you last Tuesday that my card was made with leftovers from my last Spotlight card cuz I couldn't throw the little circles away. Today's card uses up some white papers from my paper scraps. I think it's a fun way to add interest to a white background. And I happen to love wispy threads ;)

 Skinny Sentiments die

That wraps up my month of white on white. Hope you enjoyed it.

simon says stamp - all the feels part 2

Did you see my post yesterday? There's a new release at Simon Says Stamp called All the Feels and there are a lot of fun products for all styles of cardmakers. Check it out here.

I had more fun with the red rubber stamp, Halftone Circle Background, on a masculine slimline card. Did some stamping and masking and die cut stacking. The "happy" is half of "Happy Everything," another word/shadow die from CZ Design.

And since I'm loving this Catherine Pooler ink color combo lately, I used it with the new Painted Flowers Wreath stencil. This stencil is so simple yet so versatile.

I started by playing with the Happy Meowther's Day stamp set. Are you a kitty lover? There are six kitties in this set, but this image is my favorite. (The heart and paws stamp are in the set too!)

With this next card you can probably tell that I'm not a cat person. Do they even make dark brown cats?!? ;)

STAMPlorations inspiration #312

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

I have a theme this month - white on white. 

Did you see my latest Spotlight tutorial over at STAMPlorations? I die cut some circles out of a cover plate die cut and couldn't just toss them so I used them on today's card to add additional interest (the pricked circles are interest, the adhered circles add even more!) to the white background.

monogram projects

A while ago I made a couple projects with the Altenew monogram challenge in mind. Well apparently it's come and gone while I was snoozing but I'm gonna share my projects with you anyhoo! BTW there are many cool ideas in the gallery if you, like me, like to personalize your projects.

You may recall this pop up box card. Well it needed an envelope to match so I made one and added this monogram to it.

Recognize the floral? It's Altenew's Sketchy Floral stamp and I stamped and colored it with alcohol markers before die cutting a circle out of it. The circle became the monogram above and the panel became the birthday card below. I added the same image heat embossed in silver on black behind the negative.

One more project. Not Altenew, I believe I intended to hook up at Pinkfresh, but this was for DS's friend's bday. I used alcohol markers to color the Pinkfresh Adore Alpha letters and added STAMPlorations Number Plate too.

Guess I need to make better use of my calendar ;) Have a great day!

spring/summer coffee lovers hop

It's that time of year. You know what time. Coffee time.

Today's project is for the Spring Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. STAMPlorations is a super sponsor and in addition to the STAMP prizes being given away on the hop, you could win a prize for leaving a comment over at the STAMP blog today too.

I know the tones of the graphic are kinda muted (more towards the neutrals ruling the world of decor presently) but I had to use some brighter colors for a spring/summer card.

All Blooms stencil
All you need is Coffee stamp

Just Caffeinate stickers

distress inks, vellum, Glossy Accents

Masked off the edges of my cardbase. Inked through the stencil. Added some Perfect Pearls splatters. Fussy cut the stamped coffee cup and mounted it on a circle of printed vellum. Added a sticker sentiment and a shot of shine to the cup with Glossy Accents.

Get hopping! But don't forget to stop by STAMPlorations to leave a comment.

STAMPlorations inspiration #311

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

I have a theme this month - white on white. 

Today I've added interest to a white card by adding bits and pieces cut out of two cover plate die cuts to it. Just snipped the bits out and adhered them to my card front.

The effect is easier to see in this detail photo.
