STAMPlorations CAS Card challenge is joining in with the Blog Hop ....

Hello again ......

How's your Thursday going?
It's time for the STAMPlorations CAS girls to join in the fun for the Things With Wings Blog Hop and Linky Party


All the STAMPlorations teams are joining together for a month long Blog Hop ..... that's 31 days filled with winged-themed spring projects.  All five challenges will have the same theme for the month of May ...... Things With Wings and you can play along as many times as you like.

It's the turn of CAS today .......


I've used one of the birds from the Fowl Play stamp set, from the Bees Knees range, along with the balloons from Balloons and Banners, and one of the sentiments from Birds of Paradise ..... all of which are available on the STAMPlorations website

I stamped the bird onto a piece of white cardstock along with the balloons making sure they overlapped the beak ......


I stamped the bird again onto a separate piece of card, coloured him, and the balloons on the card, using Distress Inks and then fussy cut around the body of the bird before attaching it over the stamped image .....


This cuts out the need to fussy cut the legs!!! and also makes it look like he's holding the balloons in his beak
You can see I also stamped the wing again, fussy cut it and attached it using a foam pad for dimension.

The sentiment was stamped in the same colours of Distress that I'd used for the balloons ....


and I added another little bird on the inside .....


Hop along and join in the fun ....... there's prizes to be won

  •  a $15 Gift Certificate for the winner, voted by the DT
  •  and two randomly chosen winners of a $5 Gift Certificate each
Happy stamping!

Thanks for popping by .... enjoy the rest of your day.
We're off out this evening.  We're off to the Villa to see the Magic of Motown with some friends.  It should be a fun night!


There may be a little Dancing in the Street going on ..... everything will be Signed, Sealed, Delivered and there Ain't No Mountain High Enough!  
Sorry ...... I love Motown!!  Takes me back to when I used to go night clubbing.

Cheerio until next time ......

Happy Friday folks ...... How's your week been? Only two more Friday's before Christmas .... just saying! It's the first Friday in December though, and that means there's a new Craft Stamper Take It Make It Challenge .... the last one of 2018!! We've had a great year on the challenge ..... lots of fabulous entries each month,  and a whole load of amazing winners.  Take It Make It fans ....... you're a very talented bunch! Thank you all for your support. As the festive season is just around the corner, I had to make my inspiration piece a Christmas card ...... plus I still have some more to send! I must say, I'm really liking stamping onto coloured cardstock at the moment and I love this shade of blue from Stampin Up! ..... it's called Blueberry Bushel I started by stamping my sentiment in the centre (from Simon Says Stamp) and heat embossing with WOW's  Platinum Embossing Powder (another current favourite!) I then stamped the snowflakes around the ...

Happy Sunday evening ....... I hope you've enjoyed the weekend. Yeah!!! The Christmas tree is done ....... finally!  Or rather, it will be when I put the last of the baubles on that I got today.  Hopefully there'll be enough on there now.  I'll take some pictures later and you can let me know what you think. The Christmas presents are nearly all bought too ...... they just need wrapping now.  I think I've got everything, I was out shopping this afternoon with the kids ...... they may be easier to buy for now they're older ...... just more expensive!  We met up with hubby ..... he managed to avoid the actual shopping bit, clever that!  We had a lovely family lunch out which was nice .... it's not often its just the four of us. OK .... back to business.  It's time to get the final  Happy Little Stampers CAS challenge  of 2018 underway ....... As you can see, December's theme is ..... Emboss.  What's your favourite way of adding embossing t...

Happy Wednesday ....... My goodness has it done some raining here today.  If it carries on much longer we're going to need a boat!!  The garden at the back looks like a lake ...... Never mind ...... it's the perfect weather for staying cozy and warm, and finishing off all those Christmas cards.  Yeah! I'm almost done ..... I said this week was going to be a good one. I've even got the international cards in the post, and some of the UK ones are all ready to go. They would have been on their way today but, I decided to stay dry and finish off what was on my desk instead ....... This bunch of Jolly Santas are waiting for the little man to collect them ..... 30 cards for all his school pals.  I'm glad the Santa was easy to fussy cut!! Stamped in black ink and heat embossed in clear, coloured with ZIG markers and fussy cut. A little touch of glitter before attaching them onto the cards using a piece of folded acetate so that they bounce a little .... They look so cute! ...
