STAMPlorations 4th Birthday Blog Hop and Wishlist Linkup


Hello and welcome to Day 3 of STAMPlorations 4th Birthday Party and Blog Hop and Wishlist Linkup!  There are loads of new stamps and dies on release, and the design teams have been playing with them.  Here's what I used from the release:

Cupcake Builder #1
Shaker Balloons #1 Heart
Sweet Word Die
Bold Sentiments: Sweet
For my first card, I stamped the 'sweet' ombré-style on a white panel, matted it onto some patterned paper, adhered it to DL-sized card then stamped the rest of the sentiment down the side of the card, then added a die-cut cupcake.


The second card uses the heart shaker balloon die set, sweet word die and a couple of ARTplorations stencils with Distress Oxides.  I built up the shaker element by cutting four extra hearts and using the frames.


So then I had four die-cut hearts.  Couldn't waste them...


I put them through an embossing folder, added some die-cut strings and popped them onto a Distress watercoloured background, and added the 'sweet' die-cut (with a black layer underneath).  The rest of the sentiment comes from Blossom Overture.

All the important stuff on how to win lots of goodies is on the STAMPlorations blog.  All stamps, dies and stencils are 15% off until 3 July, and if you use my code STAMPGIRLSHIRLEY you'll get another 20% off.  What are you waiting for??

    Love how the colors trail off on the first
    two cards - so delicate. The last card
    makes up for it - it pops. Love it.
    thanks for sharing.

    Fantastic cards! I think my favourite is the last one with the grunge look and brighter colours.
