STAMPlorations 5th Birthday Event...Three Favourite Oldies and some Newcomers

Hello,

This June, STAMPlorations turns FIVE and a full-on Birthday Bash Palooza is happening, with inspiration posts from the STAMPlorations gals, CASE and Link-Up parties, prizes, sales, freebies, and more!


I'm honoured and grateful to part of the STAMPlorations' family; thank you, Shery, for your support, generosity and wonderful design opportunities! I LOVE being a STAMP gal!

Here, as well as at the STAMPlorations Blog, I'm sharing my Top 3 Favourite Projects (narrowing to three was a real challenge!), along with a couple new projects.
Let's start with some oldies:

Favourite #1
STAMPlorations The Bee's Knees *And Coffee

Favourite #2

Favourite #3 - I made 25 of these for my nephew's kindergarten class! Tooooo much fun!


Two NEW cards, featuring STAMPlorations products I reach for time and again - STENCILS - and my 'usual' style - CAS.  I'm 'very' CAS!

Card 1: 


Distress Inks: Mermaid Lagoon, Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry

Card #2
Distress Inks: Twisted Citron, Lucky Clover, Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean

Hope my CAS creations spark ideas of ways to give YOUR stencils a chance to shine on the stage.

Of course, we want YOU to be part of the festivities!
Three options...do one, or two or, hopefully, all three!

Thank you for all of this beautiful inspiration, Carol! I see some definite CASE possibilities here. I understand why those cards and tag are your favourites - they are absolutely gorgeous! Also loving your new cards using the stencils - I really want to try stencilling again - I haven't got much experience with it and these look like something I might be able to do.
