Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop @ STAMPlorations

Hello everyone!

I am back again with exciting Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers blog hop.
I'm so happy to share my card as part of the team from super sponsor, STAMPlorations.

I colored Cupcake Blooms And Coffee digital stamp with ink pad and fussy cut neatly before I glue down on a piece of cardboard to make it thicker and then I paste down against the white matt which was cut through Sizzix machine using Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies for a three dimensional form.

Come over to the STAMPlorations Blog  and have a see at my beautiful teammies' creations. You'll be fascinated and pleased with this hop because Sherry normally has super extra cool prize. Be sure to leave comment there.

Life {Art Journal} @ STAMPlorations

 Hello everyone! Wishing life on your end is adventurous wherever you are. A walk in your neighborhood can be very interesting. Sometimes we take a long road to find joy and happiness without realizing how simple life can be more euphoria within ten steps walk from your house. 

So here I am once again bringing my recent mixed media art journal using products from STAMPlorations shop. Take a visit at STAMPlorations blog and have a see at my fellow designer team showcasing their creative work for March Stencil Challenge reminder.

And few up-close shots...

I swiped homemade gesso over Mosaic In Squares Slimline stencil in the center and simply wipe off the access I didn't want.

This is really one of my favorite stencil designs and is available at the shop.

I keep it simple for now {smile}.

I'm a quote person and love stamping down sentiment directly on a project or vice versa. This phrase from Born To Roam stamp set was stamped on white cardstock and glued down on the book pages.

That's it for now. I shall be back again real soon with another wings project for STAMPlorations blog hop next month so stay tuned.

Thank you for dropping by.

Hugs and smiles,

Spread Your Wings {Art Journal} @ STAMPlorations

 Hi everyone! Wishing you blue sky and everything nice this March. I hope more amazing things coming our way as we walk on the path. We just have to keep spreading our wings despite living life 'differently' ever since the norm becomes undesirable. Somehow we managed.

Let me now take you to STAMPlorations new stencil challenge this month. I created a simple art journal using homemade gesso, watercolor paints, and products from STAMPlorations shop.

Looking forward to see your creation/s at Mr. Linky before March ends. Don't forget to display the challenge graphic in your blog post...

Until then. Take care and thank you for dropping by.

Hugs and smiles,

Born To Roam {Art Journal} @ STAMPlorations

Hi everyone! How has it been on your end? All good I hope. Pretty okay here, been super crazy busy with sowing vegie seeds and repotting plants. When that's done, I will revive the landscape in my garden. Absolutely in gardening mood these days after returning from staycation at my Mother's last week. Gardening is my passion besides art so yeah, keeping busy in both field to stay fit and healthy. Make sense I hope {lol}.

Speaking of art, let me take you to you to a mixed media art I did as part of my design team project for STAMPlorations mid-challenge reminder. You have half January to get going if you haven't already.

I used several products from STAMPlorations to create this mini album page using watercolors and brown ink pad to distress the edges.

I look forward to see your creation/s at Mr. Linky before January says adios. Follow the challenge rules y'all.

 Thank you for dropping by and wish you happiness and safe.

Hugs and smiles,

Spread Your Wings @ STAMPlorations

 Hi everyone! Welcome to STAMPlorations December Stencil Challenge. Our very last Stencil Challenge for 2020.

We are all looking forward to exciting happenings and new STAMPlorations products in 2021.  Spread your wings with us.

I'm so in love with the background Arches slimline stencil once I finished sponging it down with ink pad over the stencil.

Then I fussy cut some butterflies and glue them down neatly with PVA glue.

The sentiment is from Trendy Birds 2 stamp set and for little additional interest, I added a touch of pattern near the edges by stamping down random circles.

I look forward to see your creation/s at Mr. Linky soonest.

Enjoy life and wishing everyone happiness and joy, good health and prosperity now and beyond. Let 2021 light us all up in positive mind and provide us all from any illness free living.

Take care dear friends.

Hugs and smiles,

Be Free @ STAMPlorations

Hello December! Hi everyone! I hope all of you are in the best of health and feeling great. So am I. Today the Stencil Design Team and I at STAMPlorations are welcoming you to our new stencil challenge this entire December. I look forward to see your beautiful creation/s at Mr. Linky before 2020 and coronavirus say adieu, hence the title of my creation ~ Be Free! Let's pray 2021 lights up the world and cherish us all with greatest health and joy.

Sharing my project for this challenge inspiration is a slimline card:

I sponged down two different colors from lime green and sky blue ink pads through Circles and Daisies Slimline Stencil on a white card stock.

Then I stamped down some leaves randomly from Trendy Leaves 2 stamp set with Versafine Ink Pad.

Next step was stamping down a few flowers from Big Bloom Factory stamp set using Versafine Ink Pad as well on a white card stock before I fussy cut the six blooms neatly and glue down over the slimline design.

I used the same lime green and sky blue ink pads to color the six blooms using aqua brush. I do have to say it was so therapeutic because I was a little bit under the weather at the time. 

 
Lastly I stamped down a sentiment from Trendy Birds 2 stamp set on a white card stock and glue it down at the top left corner.

Basically this card speaks simplicity by stenciling and stamping yet it took quite a while to figure out colors and composition like always {smile}. I love the finished result and will keep this card until I'm ready to part with it.

Don't forget to display this graphic in your blog post too.

That's it for now. I look forward to see your work at your blog.

Till then, au revoir.

Hugs and smiles,

So Thankful For This @ STAMPlorations Blog Hop & Giveaway

 Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. My heartfelt thank you for dropping by and that itself  makes me so grateful. I hope our  6th Giving Thanks Hop & Giveaway gives you much happiness and joy, many inspiration and ideas from all the designers' projects. I hope you find mine appealing too {chuckle}.

I created a  mini album cover using brown card stock and layered the surface with scrap papers for thickness. That way the front cover becomes more sturdy. I used two different stencils to create patterns on both sides; one by brushing texture paste through Clustered Hearts stencil and the other using white gel pen through Abstract Oats. The focal point is printable and adjustable digital image available at the store.

This is how it was like in the beginning process. I randomly glue down pieces of reverse paper scraps from die cutting projects few months ago. They're too pretty to let go so I keep in kiv paper file. Then I brush down with black gesso and let dry.

Oreo the cat did an inspection before he let me proceed to next steps. Seriously! {smile}

Good luck to everyone. May you be the lucky one.

Taking my creation into these challenges:

1. Dreaming of Scrap : Anything Goes + Your Fave Color

2. Love To Scrap : LTSCB#139 Anything Goes

3. Crafts Galore Encore : Ch#81 Always Anything Goes

4, A Bit More Time To Craft : Ch#128 Anything Goes

5. More Mixed Media Challenge : Anything Goes + Optional "Black"

Thank you again for visiting me on this day. Truly appreciate you so much.

Hugs and smiles,
