STAMPlorations Perfect Pairs - Blooms & Sunshine


Need to make a card in a hurry?  How about trying STAMPlorations Perfect Pairs, a complete coordinating card making system.  All you will need is a blank card base and some ink, and you could be creating cards in minutes!

Here are two cards I made using the Blooms & Sunshine set, which includes the lovely 'Sending Sunshine'  stamp and a splat stamp.




But you needn't stop there - I'll be back with a couple more cards adding other STAMPlorations products.  Meanwhile, take a look at what the team have created with other Perfect Pairs here on the STAMPlorations blog.

And if you're ordering from the STAMPlorations store, don't forget to use my code STAMPGIRLSHIRLEY for 20% off all stamps, dies and stencils.

Seize The Birthday - Double Frame


Hello!  For our first October challenge at Seize The Birthday, Nancy has chosen Double Frame.


I've used a mix of designers' products - the bird and background stamps are Tim Holtz, the die-cut frames are The Stamp Market, the leaf spray is Altenew, and I can't remember whose is the happy die.

If you don't want to include a double frame in your card, you can still play along with any birthday creation in our Anything Goes theme.


Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog for some more fabulous inspiration from the team and our surprise party guests, and join in the fun.
