STAMPlorations Inspiration #242 - Christmas Redux Hop and Giveaway

We've got another fabulous Inspiration Tuesday at STAMPlorations this week - it's the Christmas Redux Hop and Giveaway, and here's what you could win:

* ONE (1) winner of Christmas dies ($30 MSRP) drawn from all comments left on the blog and designers' blogs.
* ONE (1) winner of $15 gift code drawn from comments left on the STAMPlorations blog, designers' blogs.

I found this stamped image in my stash.  The sky was already coloured so I just added some Wink of Stella to the rooftops and some Frantage embossing powder to the ground.  The Merry Christmas die is from CUTplorations Christmas Sentiments set.

Seize The Birthday - Off The Edge

Time for a new challenge at Seize The Birthday, and our theme this time is Off The Edge.  If that's not your thing, you can still play along with any Anything Goes as long as it's birthday-themed.

I die-cut a balloon (Poppystamps), sponged it with distress inks then overlapped it on my smooshed background panel, trimmed it, then added a sentiment from Uniko.

Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog for some fab Off The Edge creations, and play along with us.

STAMPlorations Inspiration #240

It's Inspiration Tuesday at STAMPlorations and today I've made a more masculine version of the Layered Cake Bake.  The background is one of Helen's stencils (Make Marks 5), and I've stamped the image then fussy cut it.  The chevron stamp is from Mixed Media Grunge, the letters are from Uppercase Alphabet Plate, and the number is from Sketchy Alphabet and fussy cut.

Pop on over to the STAMPlorations blog for some more fabulous inspiration from the rest of the design team, and don't forget to leave a comment for your chance to win a $10 gift voucher.  And if you are shopping in the STAMPlorations store, you'll get 20% discount if you use my code STAMPGIRLSHIRLEY.

STAMPlorations Spotlight

Can you guess which non-Christmas STAMPlorations set I used for the images on these cards?

It's Art Marks 2 by Shery.  I see all sorts of possibilities with this set!  Pop on over to the STAMPlorations blog to see my three cards in full.
