I have mailed this card to my dear friend,  Susan...who is celebrating her 70th birthday today.   Our friend Loll is having a Birthday Hop for Susan if you would like to join in sending Susan special birthday wishes.

Wishing you a very special day and a gift that keeps on giving!

Day 5,  the Last Day to Celebrate STAMPlorations Belated 7th Birthday!

Be sure and check out all the Creative and Inspiring Projects by our
very talented Stamp Girls using New and Old Products!


Monika Skinner Designs New Rectangle Flexi-Template.
Sanna Lippert Designs New "Winter Flowers Stencil".
Clear Stickers "Birthday Word Art".

Happy belated 7th Birthday to Shery and David Russ and their wonderful family owned STAMPlorations craft company:-)

It has been exciting to see how Shery has used her amazing Artistic and Administrative talents to create new products over the years.  
I love how Shery always keeps up with the trends.

 Shery has very talented and sweet STAMPgirls on her Design Team and Guest
Designers.  I was so thrilled when Shery asked me to join her CAS Challenge 
Team 2 years ago.  

A year ago I switched to the Stencil Challenge Design Team because Shery has the
most amazing selection of Stencils designed by Shery,  Sanna and Helen.

Also Shery has encouraged and mentored Becca, Dee and Shirley during their
stamp designing adventure.  Just recently Monika joined the designers with her
Flexi-Template designs.  

The STAMPgirls have had a great time making a project a day using New and Old
STAMPloration products by Shery and her designers for your inspiration.
We would love to have you play along.

***************

I am sharing my steps with photos of my background and 
STAMPlorations products I used.

Step 1 & 2
Used 3M masking tape to secure Monika's Rectangle Flexi-Template.  
Then blended Distress Oxide inks
using makeup brushes and Stencil Pal to make a geometric background.

Step 3
Placed  Sanna's Winter Flowers Stencil over background and secured with tape.  
Used a blue Distress Oxide ink,  so my background would not turn to mud.
  Then used a makeup brush to blend the ink thru the stencil and
 around the edge for a frame. 

Step 4
Removed stencil,  masking tape and Rectangle Flexi-Template.

Step 5
Added the "Birthday Word Art" Clear Sticker and Done!
I loved how the background colors showed thru the sticker.

I hope you have enjoyed and been inspired by all the STAMPgirls creative
projects for 5 wonderful days organized by our amazing Shery!!!

Thank you Shery for working so hard along with David to make your wonderful 
STAMPlorations online store a creative success:-)

Love and Hugs....
