STAMPlorations Inspiration #357

 

Hello, time for some Tuesday inspiration at STAMPlorations.  I've been raiding my bits and bobs stash and, inspired by @sylvievlys on instagram, I gathered together a few random items in vaguely coordinating colours, and threw 'em together!

You've got some Carved Houses, Faerie Door, Super Hero building, Fowl Play chicks, a heart from Two of Us, and a flower from Groovy Shoes.  The stamped marks are from Art Marks 2, and I doodled round the edge of the background, which was a mono print using Bloom Boldly stencil.

Pop on over to the STAMPlorations blog for some more fabulous inspiration from the team, and if you leave a comment you're in with a chance of a $15 prize code for the store.  Don't forget to use my code STAMPGIRLSHIRLEY whenever you're shopping in the store to bag yourself 20% off.

Happy stamping!

Seize The Birthday - Dichromatic

Hello, we've got a fun challenge for you this time at Seize The Birthday - Dichromatic!  Use any two colours, with the optional addition of black/white/neutral, but no metallics allowed.

If you don't want to restrict yourself to two colours, or want to add metallics, you can still play along with our Anything Goes as long as it's a birthday-themed project.

I've created a huge slice of cake using Colorado Craft Company's Big and Bold Birthday Cake, with a sentiment from Citrus Berry Cupcake.

Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog to see what the rest of the team and our Surprise Party Guest Vicky have created, and join in the fun!

Seize The Birthday - Sparkle and Shine

 Hello, and welcome to a new challenge at Seize The Birthday - Sparkle and Shine, chosen by Cathy.

I used a 3D embossing folder and mirri card to get this fabulously shiny background.  I photographed it under the window, and it captured the rainbow of colours beautifully!  The beer glass is from a Tim Holtz die set.

Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog for some more fabulous inspiration from the rest of the Design Team and our Surprise Party Guest, Vicki aka Crafting Clare, and play along with us.  If you don't want to include sparkle and shine, you can still play along with any birthday-themed project.

STAMPlorations Inspiration #354

Hello, time for some more Tuesday Inspiration at STAMPlorations.  I've been rummaging through my bits and bobs stash and found this flower, which was a leftover from my playdate with Michele here where we both used Layered Citrus in a non-citrusy way. You can see this flower at the end of that post.  I simply fussy cut it to use on this card.

I mounted it onto a smooshed inky background, and added a sentiment from Party Time.
