JoyOfStamping

I can’t tell you how much I love this set!!!! It is so much fun to play with and the possibilities are endless! (Check out what some of my dear friends have created here.)

This is one of the cards we made at my stamp night last Monday. We colored the icing with Copics and then put liquid appliqué over. The patterned paper is from Imaginsce’s baby line called Baby Powder. I gave them each a piece of the Queen of the Crib paper and told them to just cut a piece off the top and flip the paper over. We also used scraps of that paper to paper piece the bottom of the cupcake. I just love how it all coordinates! The fun ribbon is from a cool store (StarLitStudio).

I’m going to a stamping retreat in Wisconsin next weekend and I’m so excited to see some of the coolest stamping friends! AND….. I might even get to stamp. LOL!

Till next time……

My dear friend Taylor issued Jami and I another Just for Fun Challenge. I just love these challenges because I actually get to stamp and they are just so much fun. The “rules” for this challenge was to use the cardstock and patterned paper Taylor gave us, use buttons that she provided (sorry they are naked buttons, but I ran out of anything that would fit in the holes.  I guess that means I need to go ribbon shopping again! Ü), and JUST HAVE FUN!

I took inspiration from Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #27. I loved the layout…. but didn’t realize it was a square card until after I cut my cardstock. Duh moment! That’s ok. It was a great layout in A2 form, too!

This stamp set is a new Stampendous stamp set that will be exclusive to eP and will be available for purchase this Friday! It is called Merry Muffins, but can be a year round set. I stamped the middle image and then masked it with eclipse tape and then stamped the other 2 cupcakes. I then colored the images with Copics. I also paper pieced the bottoms of the cupcakes with the paper that Taylor had given us. It is actually one piece of paper, but I justed used the reverse side for one of the cupcakes. I also added white Liquid Applique to the outer cupcakes for that extra texture. And of course, I added my new “love of my life” Glossy Accents to the middle cupcake. Here is a close up of the image.
