STAMPlorations 5th Birthday Celebration!


STAMPlorations is celebrating its 5th Birthday and the festivities are continuing all month long!!  There are tons of prizes (over $500 worth!), specials, freebies, activities and fun to be had so come join the fun!!


 One of the super fun activities is a Birthday Linky Party - aka, CASE the STAMPgirls challenge. Below are three of my favorite projects I've made plus a new one.  "CASE" (copy and share everything) one of my projects and link it up to the challenge for a chance to win $25 worth of STAMPlorations goodies on your wish list! What will inspire you?  The colors, theme, stamp set, die?  Can't wait to see what you link up!

New design...

 

 For this card, I started by cutting white cardstock with one of the Crazy Double Running Stitched Rectangle dies and stamped a sentiment from the Life In Full Color set.  I then stamped the paint brushes from the same set and the coffee mug from the Big Christmas Cups set, setting the brushes in the cup.  I created a background of distress oxide inks and used the Art Happens Phrase Die.  I stamped the top part of the brushes on the same background and fussy cut; adhering to the brush tips.
