STAMPlorations Spring Fling Hop and Linky Party Encore

STAMPlorations Spring Fling Hop and Linky Party Encore!

More projects by the STAMPgirls Design Team using Shery's new Quick Card Fronts.

I am using the new Artsy Florals A2 Card Fronts set for my card along with other STAMPgirls.

Some of the others are using the new Spring Florals A2 Card Fronts for their projects.

You are going to be impressed and inspired by all their beauties😊

Quick Card Fronts Artsy Florals A2 Card Fronts 

Clear Stickers Spring Magic

Shaker Blends (flat sequins) Color Confetti

This card is very different from my 1st card that  I designed for the May 19, 2021 Spring Fling Hop and Linky Party.  I kept this card Quick and Easy,  but still loved the results.

I love how there was just enough room to add a narrow black cardstock background frame to make the card front fit the A2 100# white card base perfectly.  After attaching the card front to the black cardstock I then attached it to the A2 Basic White card base.  Then added the Happy Spring Clear Sticker from the  Spring Magic clear sticker set.  Next added the Shaker Blends (flat sequins) Color Confetti using Correct Glue.  Last, but not Least added Wink of Stella to tiny flowers and Done!

I showed my card to my husband,  who is my best critic...his reply,  "Wow"!  He thought I had done all the coloring and arranging of the flowers.  Then I was really pleased.  Hope you like my card too and all the other projects by the STAMPgirls. We would love to have you play along.

CAS Christmas Card Challenge January 2020: Tag Card

I finally got a chance to play in the CAS Christmas Card Challenge: Tag Card

hosted by the very talented, Christine.

You have until the 24th to play along.

I have been purging my craft room,  which means I am going thru all my stashes.  

I found this beautiful Alcohol Ink on Yupo paper red background and 

die cut with my CUTplorations Luggage Tags Nesting Die.  

Also found a larger white Luggage Tag.

Next I die cut several Merry sentiments using CUTplorations Christmas Sentiments Dies.

There are 7 Christmas Sentiments in the set.  You will be seeing more in the future:-)

I stacked 3 Merry's using Connect Glue and attached to tag.

Next placed tag in MISTI and stamped Christmas with Archival Jet Black ink.

Added STAMPlorations Shaker Blends Sequins using Connect Glue.

Then added SU twine.

Popped up red tag onto white tag with White Craft Foam.

Dry embossed SU Whisper White 100# CS with SU Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.

Then attached tags and Done!

So happy to add a card to my Christmas Stash.

Thank you Christine for a fun Challenge.  Hugs...

Here is my stenciled card 

I had a fun play day recently with my sister, Margie and 2 girlfriends.

We played with Ranger Alcohol Inks on Yupo paper.

I came home with 17,  A2 size backgrounds:-)  You will be seeing more cards

in the near future using some of these backgrounds.  

I used blue, teal and purple shades of Alcohol Inks and die cut the background with

CUTplorations "Basic A2 Panels Nesting Dies". 

Then placed my new to me ARTplorations "Just Squares Stencil" over background, 

securing with masking tape and traced the squares using ultra fine tip black Sharpie.

Die cut black cardstock using a size larger Basic A2 Panels Die.

Lucky me...I found these already die cut flowers and thank you's in my stash.

I stacked 3 Memory Box "Sketch Daisy" die cut flowers and 

Poppystamps "Scribble Thank You" sentiments using Correct Glue.

Added the STAMPlorations "Shaker Blends Sequins" for embellishements.

Then dry embossed the SU Whisper White 100# CS card base front

using the "3D Subtle" Embossing Folder.  Love the texture.

Then popped up the panel with white craft foam and attached to card front

and Done!  Loved the results and QCAS design!

You have until the 24th to play along and celebrate our 1st Anniversary:-) Hugs.
