STAMPlorations Stencil Bloghop

You are going to LOVE the new stencil release at STAMPlorations!

For this first card, distress ink was sponged through the Flowers 1 stencil.  Then, Versa Mark was sponged through and thick clear embossing powder was applied.  Yellow gems were added to the center of the flowers for sparkle!

 On the second card, gold embossing paste was spread through the Leaves 1 stencil  The Fowl Play stamp setwas  stamped and colored and layered on the card.

If you have never stenciled before, it is easy.  Many mediums can be used with stencils.  Challenge yourself to use a stencil and see how fun it can be!

But First, Coffee

Just a little humor today to make a card for Simon Says food or drink challenge.   A wise stamper once showed me how to do a continuous stamp design.  You cut the front paper and lightly adhere it to your base cardstock.  Then you stamp the images.  When you seperate it with the middle colored cardstock it looks continuous.  

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your beverage!

Santa

AAH, the 25th day of 25 Days of Christmas Tags.  Now that the tags are done, it is time to start wrapping the presents and tagging them!  The last day of the event would not be complete if there was not a Santa tag.  Using Tracey's inspiration, the santa and sentiment, the tag is complete.

Thanks for stopping by and wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas!

It is time to tear it up with this Deck The Halls card.  After tearing strips of paper, they were glued onto the base cardstock.  With blue, purple and a metallic gelato stick, color was added to the cardstock.  It was fun smearing it around and adding color here and there until it looked like it was time to add more elements.   The background was stamped with months and the deck the halls image. The large snowflake was embossed with silver,  White snow was added with distress spray.  The duo of rabbits were colored and cut out.  Lastly the snowflakes and music notes were added.

Is it time to start playing that Christmas music?

The Season Of Joy

The STAMPloration gals are up with their tags today and I am loving Vicki's kraft tag with the white streaks in the background with the decorated tree in front.  Using a STAMPlorations stamp, the tree was cut, colored and decorated.  It is now ready to join the festivities at 25 Days Of Christmas Tags.

 

Wishing everyone a season of Joy!

Poinsettia For You

Day 21 and these tags are stacking up!  There will be tags on presents and som I am converting for use on cards.  In the end, they will all be used up!

Today I am inspired by Tracey's tag where her image is in the upper left corner and the wording is on the bottom.  I found this stamp and thought it would do the trick.  The white areas in the poinsettia are on purpose.  It reminds me of the poinsettia they spray with white at Christmas.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have your Christmas fever!

Celebrate The Season!
