Addicted to Stamps and More #131 - Anything Goes

Hello crafting friends, I hope you're well and having a good week!

It's time to start a new challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More and this week it's Anything Goes.

Our fabulous sponsor is Sweet Pea Stamps and our winner will receive a prize of 4 digis from their store!

I wasn't going to make any more "love" cards as I've made a few already, but when I saw Kylie's beautiful card which we are invited to CASE (with a twist) at Time Out, and the colours and roses at The Card Concept (Romantic Roses), it seemed a good opportunity to use my cute little foxes stamp again.

For my "twist" on Kylie's card, I stencilled onto the card blank with texture sparkle medium.  The little tags and flowers are die-cuts, and the foxes were stamped with black Memento and coloured with Promarkers.

Will also be linking up to House of Cards, where the theme is LOVE.

 

There's beautiful inspiration from the our Guest Designer, Janine at Sweet Pea and from the Design Team ladies over at the ATSM challenge blog, so do be sure to wander over and have a look. We hope you're inspired to join in the fun and look forward to seeing your creations and visiting your blogs.

Have a great rest of the week! xx

Addicted to Stamps and More #129 - CAS

Hi everyone, I hope you're week has been good so far!

It's time to start a new challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More and this week's theme is ... Clean and Simple.

Our fabulous sponsor is Stamplorations and the winner's prize will be a $10 gift certificate!

My DT card was quite quick and simple to make using a punch and some dies.  The little tags were punched out of card in four different shades of red and the diecut letters and heart attached.  The "you" was diecut twice in red and white and the white laid over the red one.

Don't forget to pop over to the ATSM challenge blog to see the lovely inspiration that the other DT ladies have made and we look forward to seeing your fabulous creations and visiting you blogs.

Addicted To Stamps and More #127 - Make Your Mark

Hello dear friends, I hope you're keeping well! Greetings and welcome to new blog follower, Vicki.

I am back from a blog break for the start of the first challenge of 2015 with Addicted to Stamps and More and the theme this week is Make Your Mark: create a project using pens, paints, chalks or colouring pencils.

First some DT news. Sadly a few of our lovely DT members have departed but we have been joined by some fabulous new designers: Dana, Karen and Sarah. Please do visit their blogs to see their beautiful work.

Our generous sponsor for this challenge is CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and our winner will receive a $20 gift certificate to spend at their store, yay!!

I've used the lovely watermark which the very talented Kylie created for me on my DT card photo. To start the new year, I've used a technique which is new to me. To make the bokeh background I brushed water onto some watercolour card and added watercolour paints, punched some different sized circles out of card and used them to sponge through the white dye ink. Then diecut the "hello" diecut in the background and then out of white card and inlaid the two together.

Don't forget to check out the DT inspiration over at the ATSM challenge blog and we hope you will be inspired to join in the fun!
