Be Strong {Tag} @ STAMPlorations

 Hello there everyone and happy mid-2021!! Oh wow!! Time flies incredibly fast!! I'm not even sure the level of achievement I've accomplished so far?! Life in pandemic hasn't been the same no more and today we in Malaysia is on total lockdown from this day until June 14!! I call it 'homecation' giving me every single moment to try do different hobby I love. Today I spent a lot of time cooking though and cleaning afterwards. Happy dust free but it doesn't last {pffft}.

Let me take you to my newest mixed media tag made as part of my design team work for STAMPlorations. I left white space at the top to give the eyes rest and focus the center part and meaningful quotes.

Some up-close shots:

I used Dots 'n Beans stencil to create lovely patterns by swiping homemade gesso through the stencil. Aren't they gorgeous? If you look closely, you can see Petals #1 embossed stenciling using Sizzix machine.  

I stamped the butterfly on white cardstock and fussy cut as neatly as I can. Let me say I always love fussy cutting {smile}. For additional interest, I stamped the edges with Artsy Border Maker stamp. Lastly I sticked down a sentiment from Inspirational 1 sticker set.

|| Trendy Butterflies 2 || Clear Stickers ~ Inspirational 1 || Artsy Border Maker ||

Hugs and smiles,

~ Spring Fling Hop & Linky Party May 19 ~

 Hello beautiful friends! Welcome to STAMPlorations Spring Fling.  

I'm super excited to be joining the STAMPlorations team in celebrating the flowers season and hopefully life this spring blooms wonderfully for everyone. The winners will receive prizes of your own choice. How beautiful is that...smile.

Inspiring you on this day is watercolor spring floral card using one beauty from Quick Cards #3 - Spring Florals A2 Card Fronts. This set has 8 spring florals watercolor designs printed on 120# (325 gsm) matte card stock — it’s REALLY thick! Each card front is approximately 4” by 5.25” — perfect for your A2 cards!

I love all the watercolor designs in this pack that I had hard time creating until I decided to give it a fussy cut and adhered on a patterned paper from Kaisercraft {paper scrap from previous scrapbook project}. You bet I keep left over papers because one piece cost a million after they chopped down one tree! Please don't waste {smile}.

Say, didn't I tell you how beautiful the watercolor designs are? Sherry Russ had designed it easy and fast for your card making project in an instant time. For super-quick cards, simply stamp your sentiment on the card front, adhere to your card base, and voila — you’re done! You can also use die-cut sentiments and clear stickers, and if you’re into calligraphy, you can even hand-write on the card fronts. Artsy-fy these card fronts by blending ink, doing some background stamping, and more!

You have until June 7 to hop and leave comment at the design team blogs.

Take your time but try not to delay {smile}.

Plus feel free to enjoy Spring Fling Sale. All throughout May, selected products in the SPRING FLING section are 45% off with code SPRINGFLING45.

Life Is A Journey {Art Journal} @ STAMPlorations

 Hello everyone! Wishing you positive vibes and joy.

I'm good. Except for my garden growing lots of weeds dancing happily in the rain almost every day. Need extra hours to pull them out one of these days. Any volunteer? {chuckle}.

Today I'd like to share a spread of mixed media art designed for STAMPlorations May Stencil Challenge and this is a reminder that you still have time to play along.

  I used a piece of recycle box of cake which I cut into small pieces and will bind into a junk journal album. I've never done one and have been meaning to make one but never have the time so here's one for it.

The butterfly is my normalcy in creating because I love this butterfly so much from the beginning I own it {giggle}. I stamped it down on white cardstock and fussy cut slowly.I glue down the background of Lemony Wedges stencil design which I swipe homemade gesso and black ink pad through it and let dry.I stamped down a sentiment directly on the background...always feeling nervous because I was afraid if that won't appear nicely. For most part it works but sometimes not. This one is victory {lol}.That's it for today. I hope you will join us this month and don't forget to display the challenge graphic to be eligible for prize winner if you're selected.

Entering my work into these challenges:
1. A Perfect Time To Craft : Anything Goes

2. Crafts Galore Encore : Ch#87 Anything Goes

Thank you for dropping by.
Till I see you again real soon. Have a pleasant day.

Hugs and smiles,

Take Flight {Art Journal} @ STAMPlorations

 Hi everyone! Happy May! Wishing y'all  the best in health and well being. I'm happy to bring you my recent mixed media artsy for STAMPlorations May Stencil Challenge. Take a look at my fellow teammates' spectacular designs HERE for your inspirations.

The products I used are available from STAMPlorations shop.

Some up-close pictures:

The lattice stencil designed by my teammate Sanna Lippert is definitely my new love ever since it was launched several months back. I simply swiped homemade gesso through the stencil and let dry naturally before next steps.
Oh, the paper rosette I did last year came handy for this vintage looking project.

If u are my regular visitor, you may notice how much I love this old butterfly stamp which is currently out of stock but available in digital form HERE.

For additional interest, I stamped down funky designs randomly near the edges.

Lastly, I stick a sentiment to complete my project after debating within my inner self the best place to adhere the butterfly cut out, rosette, matting and sticker for a good composition. That was hard {smile}.

That's it for today. 

We would love to see the challenge graphic below in your blog post to be eligible for prize winning:

Thank you for dropping by my blog.

Have a great day and stay safe.

Hugs and smiles,

It's been a while since I made CAS card and pretty much struggle doing so because I felt like wanted to keep adding more because you probably know I'm a mixed media enthusiast {smile}.
Here's one after ages ago...

Be sure to display the graphic below in your post and link back to

 https://stamplorations.blogspot.com/2021/04/things-with-wings.html

Some up-close shots for you:-

I wanted this card to be very simple without adding anything except stamping the sentiment because I only want to highlight the butterfly from the cover plate with watercolor paints depicting the graphic colors right above.

Do Good for Happiness {Tags} @ STAMPlorations

Hello everyone! Let's welcome April with open mind and positivity that all of us can survive each and every day as we live and find happiness. But in our happiness we shan't forget of the unlucky ones. The blessings given to us day by day differ from everyone else perhaps but keep being grateful even though we may not earn as much we hope for, not getting what we wish for but it's alright because the fact that many out there may not live the comfort life we do or neither afford juice like we sometimes could so it's important to count our blessings no matter what.

Enough blab {lol}. Let me now take you to my tags this month. A design team project made for STAMPlorations April Stencil Challenge. As usual, we would like to see you use stencil/s in your project/s (a maximum of 3 projects only)I used All Blooms stencil as a template to draw the design with black gel pen in the background. You really have to be very patient as you do like so because the tip of pen may just slip away from the holes if you're not careful. A slow process but worthy {chuckle}.

STAMPlorations products used:

|| All Blooms|| Bloomfully Remember ||

|| Big Bloom Factory || Stitched Tags Nesting Dies ||

|| Inspirational #2 Clear Stickers || Blossom Like A Butterfly ||

Yes quite a number of products used to create these tags with masking technique which was fun indeed. Hopefully you find inspirations from my designs and I look forward to see yours as well. 

Until then. Don't miss another blog hop and linky party coming up soon this month at STAMPlorations blog as always. You love wings? That's the theme in the event. Stay tuned.

Have a blessed day and stay healthy.

Hugs and smiles,
