Hello! Today it's my turn to share some oldies but goodies with you and a couple of new cards with old and new stamps as part of
STAMPlorations 5th Birthday Celebrations. You can join in the fun by CASEing any of my cards from this post, or indeed any of the cards from STAMP team members' June posts. There are over $500 worth of prizes to be won - you can find all the details on the main blog post
here.
So. The brief was, show your top three STAMPlorations cards. How do I choose? I have so many favourites! But I've got to say, one of my all-time favourite stamps is the kookaburra/kingfisher from the Small Birds set, and this card is my favourite (you can see the post
here). Actually I've got more favourites from this stamp set, which you can see on my Pinterest board
here.
I love this
party dress - I'd love to have worn one in real life, back in the day!
This next one reminds me of so many mediterranean holidays. I made it for an artist-inspired series that I did as spotlight posts for
STAMPlorations
So, those are the oldies, and here are a couple of newbies. First up is a card using the new birthday stamp and dies on a smooshed background:
And my next card is using my oldie but goodie Party Dresses set.
Hope you're enjoying these designer posts during the
STAMPlorations birthday bash, and if you decide to play along, good luck!

ReplyDeleteVery pretty cards. I love the party dress cards!
ReplyDeleteSo girly & beautiful.
These are so sweet! You created lovely cards! Great job!
ReplyDeleteFabulous to revisit your original creations, Shirley ... and to see the new additions! I especially love the party frock (cause it's not just a dress!) ... I'd love to wear one like that now!! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteI am just loving those pretty cards with the dress form so much!
ReplyDeleteNot sure how you narrowed your favourites to 'three', as all your cards are incredibly; the trio here, however, truly are amazing...as are the newcomers. The party dresses...swoon! This set is on my wish list, as it's caught my sweet niece's eye (she's into 'dress designing' these days...).

ReplyDeleteThese are such wonderful, colorful cards! My favorites are the oldies. The Houses image is one of my favorites, and it looks great here. Thank you for sharing these.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful array of art! I love your style so crisp and artsy at the same time! The houses card reminds me of the Caribbean:)
ReplyDeleteYour oldies and your newbies are both going to withstand the test of time, Shirley! They are artistic and gorgeous! You are such a pro when it comes to color and movement!! Hugs, Darnell
