STAMPlorations CAS Card Challenge June

Welcome to the June CAS card challenge from STAMPlorations, the added colour twist this month is Purple.

I used the Just Because Stamp Set By Dees Artsy Impressions to create my card. I stamed out the Vase and Flowers ans used some Alcohol markers to add colour, I lightly blended some soft blue in the Vase to give the impression of water.

I added my sentiment on to some gold glitter card and then onto some black and white striped card  for some added interest.

STAMPlorations CAS Card Challenge May

It's May 1st, so that means it's time for a new CAS Card Challenge from STAMPlorations. The added colour twist is "Baby Pink"

My card was created by inking the Hearts-All-Over-Mini-ARTplorations-Stencil with light pink ink, I use a make up brush for a smooth result. I then stamped the Best-in-Me-Typografia-Romantique stamp in black ink.  I decided  that the card needed some more black as the sentiment looked out of black being the only black element on the card, so I used a fine liner pen to add a border to the card.

Here we are, April 1st and what a weird old time we're in. I truly hope that you and your loved ones are safe and well.  As it's the first of the month it's time for a new CAS Card Challenge at STAMPlorations. This month the added colour twist is Lemon Yellow.

To join in with the challenge, please pop over to the STAMP blog  https://stamplorations.blogspot.com/2020/04/cas-challenge-april.html

I have created a super adorable card using the Little-Monsters-The-Bees-Knees and Bubbles-ARTplorations-Stencil.  I started by stamping the little monsters and colouring them with watercolour pens. I then added a mask over them while I added the background.

For the background I used Spectrum Noir's Lemon Tonic water reactive ink, which I blended through the Bubbles stencil. I use oval foundation brushes for my blending as they give a really smooth effect.

I removed the mask and added a glaze over the monsters. The sentiments were stamped onto white card and a fine liner pen was used to add a border to them. They were added to the card using foam tape for a little height.

I really hope you will join us and take part in the challenge, I'd love to see your creations.

STAMPlorations Sticker Monday - December Part 2

Hello and welcome to my last Sticker Monday post, today I am sharing 3 quick cards that feature 2 color die cutting.

I decided now was a good time to make a few extra Christmas cards, so lets jump in and see what I made.

Using one image to create a background is a really fun way of creating an impact,I used the Christmas-Baubles-2-Layering-Dies-CUTplorations cut in both red and green. I make sure to take the images over the edge and trim baack to give the illusion that I've used a backing paper. I added a sentiment from the Tis-the-Season-Clear-Stickers.


Who doesn't like a present or 3 at Christmas?

I stuck with 2 colors for today's cards so that I could make quick and simple cards,I die cut the Gift-Builder-1-CUTplorations and pieced them together, using a tape pen also saves time and keeps your designs free from glue smudges. I added a setiment using the Tis-the-Season-Clear-Stickers



I love to use a non festive die set and create something for Christmas.

I like to use non Christmas dies to create a festive wreath, the Trendy-Spring-Blooms-Dies-CUTplorations is perfect for this. Again sticking with Green and Red automatically makes you think of the festive season. Fot the large flower I cut it twice, for one of the flowers I left the waste pieces in and then layered it. The sentiment is from the Tis-the-Season-Clear-Stickers

STAMPlorations Sticker Monday - December Part 1

Welcome to my penultimate Sticker Monday post. This time around I have chosen to focus on the Shine Bright Clear Stickers and how to use them to create motivational cards with a big impact.

All of my cards feature the same style design, a stencilled band of blended ink and a black stamped image with two sentiment stickers.

Card 1

I started by masking an A2 note card with sticky notes, leaving a 2"  band across the centre of the card. I then used the Bloomdala-Bliss-Stencil and distress oxide inks to blend a beautiful pattern.

I stamped 2 feathers using the Trendy-Feathers-2 stamp set Finally I added two sentiments from the Shine Bright Clear Sticker set.

Card 2

This card was created in a very similar way to the first card but looks so pretty in pink. The centre panel was created using the Bloom-Factory-ARTplorations-Stencil and Oxide inks. I stamped the cute little girl using Kathryns-Big-Wishes stamp set and then die cut it using Kathryns-Big-Wishes-Coordinating-Dies.

Card 3

Lastly I have a beautiful Lily card made using the Smile stamp set. I chose to use Oxide inks in Beige tones and blended and Ombre pattern using the Bubbles-ARTplorations-Stencil. In all 3 cards I added the sentiment stickers onto white card, trimmed them down and placed them on foam pads.

STAMPlorations Sticker Monday - November Part 2

Welcome to my second Sticker Monday post for November, Today I have another 3 projects to share with you showcasing ways in which you can use these amazing Clear Stickers rom STAMPlorations.

For my first project I'm showing you that you can stamp and die cut the stickers. To get the best results I added my chosen sticker to a piece of white card and placed it in to my stamping platform. I then stamped the Candle using Stazon ink, I found the best way to get a crisp image was to stamp several times and build up coverage, i just love how using a stamping platform allows me to stamp in the exact same place time and time again.

For the background of my card I used the Bubbles stencil and added color with a blending brush. I also added a sentiment in the form of a clear sticker and the added one of the Bits of washi stickers.

Products used for this card; Kathryns-Big-Wishes,  Kathryns-Big-Wishes-Coordinating-Dies, Happy-Happy-Clear-Stickers, Artsy-Geometric-Backgrounds-Clear-Stickers, Bits-of-Washi-1-Clear-Stickers and Bubbles-ARTplorations-Stencil

As I've been making lots of projects using the Clear Stickers I've kept a little scrap bowl and decided it was time to use some of them up. I chose to use colours that worked well together to make the tag feel more cohesive.

Where each piece of sticker meets I added a thin piece of lilac ribbon, I like how it ties everything together. I added the sentiment sticker on foam pads and embellished with a few sequins.

Products used for my Tag; Botanical-Backgrounds-Clear-Stickers, Artsy-Geometric-Backgrounds-Clear-Stickers and Free-Spirit-Clear-Stickers

As you probably know by now, the Shine Bright stickers are my go to for adding a sentiment to my cards. For this project I added them onto white card, trimmed them down and coloured the edges. I placed them on foam pads over the top of some of the Bits of Washi stickers.

I think the sentiments work perfectly with the Pensive face stencil, a few sequins in her hair finished the card off perfectly.

Products used for the card; Shine-Bright-Clear-Stickers, Bits-of-Washi-1-Clear-Stickers and Faces-Pensive-ARTplorations-Stencil

STAMPlorations Sticker Monday - November Part 1

Welcome to my first Sticker Monday post for November, this time I'm focusing on trimming, fussy cutting and die cutting the stickers.

I have 3 projects to share with you so lets get started.

Die cutting STAMPlorations clear stickers is a great way to a fun background to your layouts and projects. The stickers cut perfectly, I kept them on their backing sheet and ran them through my cutting machine before peeling and adding to my chosen surface.

Artsy-Geometric-Backgrounds-Clear-Stickers and Happy-Happy-Clear-Stickers

I think the stickers have added such a fun feeling to this layout of my daughter Prom.

I had a little die cut gift box in my craft room and thought it would be fun to give it a facelift by adding some of the Botanical Background stickers. Stickers can be esily trimmed down to fit your projects

Botanical-Backgrounds-Clear-Stickers and Shine-Bright-Clear-Stickers

I added two tags with a couple od the Shine Bright stickers, the vintage botanical feel of the chift box is beautiful.

As you know by now, I love a CAS card. I wanted to create a card using the stickers as the focal point so added one of the Rose sticker form the Botanical backgrounds to my card. I then added another onto some white card and fussy cut the Rose. I added this in a Decoupage style to the original sticker, tucking some gold thread behind.

Shine-Bright-Clear-Stickers, Botanical-Backgrounds-Clear-Stickers and Forever-Word-Die-CUTplorations

I added the word Forever which I die cut and pared it with a sticker from the Shine Bright set. All that was left to do was add a little splatter of gold paint.
