Bird Graffiti

Hi stamping friends!  Today we are going all in and spring flinging the stamps to create some bird graffiti!  Sometimes, it is just fun to get out all your STAMPlorations stamp sets and see what you can create.

This card started with grid paperstock.  Flowers, leaves words, hearts and music was stamped in different colors all over.  The birds were die cut and embossed in white.  All the layers were glued together for this fun card.

The list of STAMPlorations stamp sets used is below.  Wowza, that is quite a list!  If you are going to be adding to your stamp collection use the code STAMPGIRLJERRIE at checkout to save 20% off your order. I wonder what the other STAMPgirls are creating!  Hop on over to their blogs and see  their fantastic creations!

Live Begins After Coffee

I have found a new way to start my day.  I get up and wake my son.  Then I make my coffee.  I sit in an overstuffed chair until I have finished two cuts and then the day begins!

I do not koow what happened to the jump up, throw colotes on, collect children to get dressed etc.  I think it is retirement!!

A Double Feature

Hi stamping frineds!  Today's spring fling is a double feature.  That's right,  two cards for spring.

It all starts with this Mojo Monday sketch.

First, three stripes of watercolor was put on the cardstock and dried.  The words, birds and sentiment were stamped and embossed with black.  The music notes were embossed in white.  A few rectangles were drawn with a black sharpie and some clear sequins were added.

Mixed Media Grunge

This spring, my last son is graduating.  He has been so easy to raise, is quick witted and just fun to have around.  He will be greatly missed wherever his journey takes him.  The front panel is a dentist appointment card that had CONGRATS embossed in white.  I had enough left to emboss the hat and diploma.  Now, I need some background paper.  Distress inks were used to get the blues and greens to match the top panel.  Not bad, pretty close match.  Next, stamp and emboss the stars. Then it was sprayed with glimmer mist.  OOH, sparkly! Everything was popped uo for my graduate!

Thank You Birdie

Hi stamping friends!  Today for the Spring Fling I am using ONE stamp set!  If you are just starting to collect STAMPlorations stamps, For The Birds is a great set to start with.

Start by cutting one and a half inches off the bottom of the front of the card stock.  Then  repeatedly stamp the sentiment on the rest of the front.  Glue a one and a half inch piece of patterned paper on the bottom of the back cardstock.  You can pick any color in the patterned paper  to do your stamping with.  In this case, pink, green, yellow or brown would have worked too.  Stamp and fussy cut your bird.  A small strip of solid paper was glued to the front of the card.  An oval tab, greenery, twine and an eye was added to the bird.

Don't forget to hop along and leave comments for a chance to win prizes!  I hope you make this one stamp set wonder!

Ruffled Feathers

Hi stamping friends!  A little birdie told me STAMPlorations is having a spring fling blog hop filled with inspiration and prizes!

Are you ready for a colorful card?  Birds were stamped across the card and colored in with every color I could find!  A strip of patterned and solid paper were added at the bottom of the card.  To finish the card, a die cut and black eyes were added to the birds.

My fellow STAMPgirls have tons of inspiration on their blogs so be sure to hop and leave comments!  Have a colorful day!
