STAMPlorations inspiration #362

Hello again. Time for a Tuesday inspiration post from the STAMPlorations inspiration gals.

Still inspired by the style of Lagom, organic graphic/color blocking, I pulled out more scraps...

Stitched Winter Landscape die

Stitched Spring Landscape die

Super Hero stamp

Pocket Blooms stamp

I die cut various scraps with the landscape dies in various angles. Then I played until I had the "rays" the way I liked them around the stamped scene.

STAMPlorations inspiration #361

Hello again. Time for a Tuesday inspiration post from the STAMPlorations inspiration gals.

Ready for some more"go bold or go home"? I really have no explanation for this card. Except I grabbed some scraps from my pink, orange and yellow drawers and this happened.

Skinny Sentiments die

Scraps and a glue stick. Done.

I was inspired by the style of Lagom again. Organic graphic.

more scrap strips

Did you catch my tutorial yesterday at STAMPlorations? More strips. This time torn from scrap paper I used when swatching inks.

And did you catch that I'm in the process of moving my craft room? And rediscovering all the stuff I have? Who's been around cardmaking for a few years and can recognize the PP I found in my craft room and used on my card?!?

STAMPlorations Tag 1 die

chipboard stickers

So I adhered the stripped, die cut tag to two pieces of Tim Holtz Ideology paper (I think it's so old it just might be trendy again with its retro colors and images). Did you recognize it?

Then I pulled out various stickers I have and decide to pop a few onto my card to jazz it up. Oh, and a little punched butterfly from my stash too.

Let me tell you, this card is certainly not perfect, but it was FUN to make. I was inspired by watching Barbara just have fun pulling out supplies and scraps and put 'em all together. And boy do I have supplies and scraps...

another spotlight on scrap strips

I'm doing more stripping - over at the STAMPlorations blog in my spotlight tutorial. This is the card I made. 

STAMPlorations inspiration #359

Hello again. Time for a Tuesday inspiration post from the STAMPlorations inspiration gals.

Ready for some "go bold or go home"?

ATC Tag Builder die

Skinny Sentiments die

Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle die

I die cut various scraps with the various edges of the ATC die and adhered them to a navy scrap. Added a yellow circle cuz it felt right! Die cut the panel with the rectangle die and added a sentiment. Done.

I was inspired by the style of Lagom. Organic graphic. Love it.

STAMPlorations new release - some snark

Welcome peeps! There's a new release in town. Over at the STAMPlorations shop. And with a new line of snarky stamps from our own Chris Dring. Today we're introducing Some Snark (the set on the right).

I've paired Chris' snarky sentiments with some of STAMPlorations paper goods (ATC). The vibe couldn't be more perfect.

Some Snark stamp

Retro Fashionistas ATC

watercolors, Copic markers, white embossing powder, pearls

Actually have a friend who loves to "moon" people, so this card's headed her way :)

For my next card I recycled plastic packaging to make a fun shaker. Put an inked BG in it along with several heat embossed snarky sentiments cuz they're just all so good (and lots of sequins). I attached the shaker to a cardbase and adhered a B/W ATC to the front with my main sentiment.

Art Border #3 die

watercolors, Copic markers, white embossing powder,pearls

Do you not love that sentiment? They're all great. A watercolored swatch, a Copic colored lady to match, a few pearls and a snarky sentiment. Oh, and a bit of die cut interest on the cream cardbase.

How about this next one. "I don't have mood swings. Darling, I own the playground." Just look at her admiring herself in the mirror.

Spellbinders Rebel Rose die

Copics, PP, silver embossing powder

Layout's a bit different - PP mat and a fancy die cut to back the ATC - but the lady and the sentiment say it all.

So, that's it for today. Be sure to check out all the DT's creations over at the STAMP blog. And leave comments all around and you might win one of Chris' new stamp sets.
