HLS Anything Goes with Dies Challenge June 2023 - Have A Fabulous Day (Pigment Craft Co. and Pinkfresh Studio)

Hello,

Welcome to the June 2023 Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies Challenge.

For this card, I used the 'negative' piece from the birthday card I share here (Pigment Craft Co. Postage Grid cover plate), then simply added some stickers from Pinkfresh Studio. Let's just say this version was wayyyyyy easier than the previous! LOL! 

Looking forward to seeing your die-namic cards/projects in the gallery!

HLS Stencil Challenge June 2023 - Big Hugs (Concord and 9th)

Hello,

Welcome to the June 2023 Happy Little Stampers Stencil Challenge, where Anything Goes is always the theme.

After being introduced to Concord & 9th's big words stencils (Oh, Hey, specifically), through last year's Crop & Create fall event, I added a second to my collection: Big Hugs. The hearts, the banner sentiment and, of course, the stencil + dies, make sending hugs easy and fun. 

Looking forward to seeing your stencil sensations in the gallery!

HLS Christmas Challenge June 2023 - Anything Goes (optional: Make a Scene)...Happy Holidays Snowmen and Critters (Colorado Craft. Co.)

Hello,

Welcome to Happy Little Stampers June 2023 Christmas Challenge. Anything Goes is always a choice, as is the optional twist which, this month, is "Make a Scene."

Not sure if my Colorado Craft Co. + Anita Jeram critters are making a 'scene', but they sure are making cute snowpeople! 

Looking forward to your Christmas inspiration in the gallery!

Inkspirational Challenge #291 - SEASONAL...Happy Halloween x 2 (TE Create-in-Quads Halloween)

Hello,

Welcome to Inkspirational Challenge #291 where we're introducing a new challenge to our line-up: SEASONAL. We invite you to consider the four seasons - Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter - and create cards/projects based on occasions that are quite 'specific' to those seasons. For instance:  Spring = Mother's Day, Easter, gardening, etc.; Summer = summer vacations, flowers blooming, school's out, weddings, beaches; Fall = harvest, Thanksgiving, Halloween; Winter = Christmas, Hanukkah, winter activities. These are just a few ideas to get you started; the team also has some fabulous inspiration for you. 

I've gone with a Fall/Halloween theme for my DT cards; need to give my Taylored Expressions Halloween Create-in-Quads stencils some action. Given how quickly time seems to be flying, Halloween will be here before we know it! Everything - except for the sentiments - is stenciled. So fun!

Looking forward to your SEASONAL sensations filling the gallery.

HLS June 2023 Birthday Challenge - Anything Goes - Birthday Images Card (Pigment Craft Co.)

Hello,

Welcome to Happy Little Stampers June 2023 (how did we get here so fast!) Birthday Challenge, where the theme is always Anything Goes.

I had a play - finally - with my Pigment Craft Co. Postage Grid Cover Plate die and Sweets stamp set. I didn't use the outer frame for this one; just the little 'stamps', each one decorated with a birthday image, then added to the base with different amounts of foam tape for dimension. You'll see, in another post, what I did with the frame. 

Looking forward to your birthday celebration cards/projects in the gallery.

Also sharing at:

Seize the Birthday Challenge #262 - Make It Pop. I've used funky-fun images, bright colours and loads of dimension (difficult to photograph) on those bitty stamps.

Thank you for dropping by!

Concord & 9th's Markered set came out for a play. Another turnabout that looks fabulous in any colour. Now that I finally have the updated jig, turnabouting is going to be even MORE fun! 

Looking forward to seeing how Red and Aqua inspire you!
