Paper craft project no. 393: Art is gratitude one layer card


This week over at STAMPlorations, we're releasing a sentiment set I designed called Art Is. We've got a mini hop for it -- hop on over the blog and leave a comment on the special stamp release post as well as on the participating designers blogs for a chance to win this set.


To showcase this set, I created a one layer card with an artsy mixed media grunge feel. I stamped the butterfly (from the Blossom Like a Butterfly set) in red and black. Next I randomly stamped the splatter (from the Mixed Media Elements set) in gray, black, yellow, and orange before stamping the sentiment. I finished the card by stamping the grungy border. Another fast-and-furious stamping OLC card done...it took about 20 minutes and I was chatting up my little Kathryn in her crib while I stamped -- one of those rare times she let me work for a bit without crying and wanting mommy to pick her up! This card got a thumbs up from her ;o)


Check out what Asmah, Irit, Sari, and Shirley created using the Art Is set -- leave a comment here, on their blogs, and on the STAMPlorations blog by Friday and you could be the winner of this set :o)

Paper craft project no. 392: Believe and shine one layer card


Hey, all. It's the third and last day of the STAMPlorations October stamp release blog hop and we are featuring FOLK FLOWERS, the really, really, really fun set that Shirley designed for her stamp line. If you like building flowers, this is the set! :o)

This is a card that took a few days to make because I was doing it in stages (re: when I managed to snatch 5 minutes here and there away from the little one). Lots of masking, coloring, and then doodling. I stamped the sentiment and then finished the card by drawing the border.

Check out what the rest of the STAMPlorations girls made! You'll find links to all our projects here. Comment on the projects and you could win one of several prizes.

Plus...we have a Flash Fall Flowers Linky Party! Link up a new project that has flowers in it and you could be one of the 3 winners of a stamp set from the October release! The linky is open until Sunday, October 25. For the details, click here.

Paper craft project no. 391: Bloom, hope, take flight one layer card



It's the second day of the STAMPlorations October stamp release blog hop and this time, we're showcasing the HOPE BLOOMS set I designed.

With a 7-week-old baby that demands 100% of my time, I have to be even faster with my crafting (when I do happen to have 10-15 minutes to spare -- and those spare minutes are very few and far in between) so I've had to stick to a minimal color palette, few supplies, and plain stamping. And this very orange-y one layer card is the result. Stamped the framed butterflies, loosely colored it with Japanese watercolor brush pens before masking it, stamped the background in a frenzy with stamps from the Mixed Media Elements set, and finally stamped the sentiments. Got the card done before the hubby finished feeding our little one, who always wants mommy right after :o)

Paper craft project no. 390: Thanks one layer card


Today is yet another fun day at the STAMPlorations blog because we've got the October Stamp Release Blog Hop happening over the next 3 days! To kick things off, we're featuring FRIENDS AND FLOWERS, a delightful set designed by Deepti for her stamp line

My card features the watering can, which I stamped and colored loosely with my Japanese watercolor brush pens. I masked it and then did some collage stamping using stamps from the Mixed Media Grunge and Mixed Media Elements.
