Celebrate

andreasscraps — Mon, 23 May 2011 00:04:43 +0000

Yes! Let’s celebrate and have some fun!

I was FINALLY using some of my numerous Unity Stamps for a Virtual Stamp Night Challenge on Splitcoaststampers yesterday and came up with this card. The challenge was to “hide” something on the card, so I hid the kite behind the cloud. I love layering on cards and this was so easy!

I met a bunch of other challenges with this card too, so check the supply list for the challenge blog links there.

Flowers for You

I love getting the stamps from The Stamps of Life every month! It’s a monthly club where a new set of clear stamps arrive in my mailbox during that first week. The sets are themed so that all the stamps coordinate together and many times, work with other sets! It’s really cool and maximizes the ability to put almost any project together quickly.

Graduation card

andreasscraps — Tue, 10 May 2011 15:18:10 +0000

It’s that time of year again when graduation ceremonies are cropping up everywhere, summer is coming and the end of the school year is in sight.

I love this school house digital stamp from The Stamping Boutique! You can do so much with it! I’ve used it here for my graduation card.

I used lots of circles since that’s the next challenge at TSB. Circles on patterned paper, cut out of paper, embellishments or even the shape of the card – USE CIRCLES and lots of them!

Here’s a card that can be used for a couple different occasions. With the church, it could be for a wedding, Christening, engagement, First Communion or Confirmation. I’m sure there are more that I haven’t listed here, but you get the gist.

This card uses a lot of scraps that I had around from the SEI Collection, Jolie Chocolat which was wildly popular for it’s pink and brown tones. The added glitter and foil accents in the patterns made the paper that much more appealing.

Happy Easter

andreasscraps — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 10:00:21 +0000

There are so many great Easter stamps out there now in rubber, clear and digital. I’ve combined 2 of them with this card – clear and digital. The bunny is colored with Copic markers and the greeting is stamped with Memento dye ink and colored with a Sakura Glaze pen. Fun, cheery and bright for such a Spring-y holiday!

Are you wondering why I’ve been showing more digital stamps from The Stamping Boutique? I was a Guest Designer there for March and they asked me to stay on in the regular Team! I really appreciate the Team’s creativity, so it’s a great fit!
