STAMPlorations Giving Thanks

 

Today I'm very excited to be joining my fellow STAMPlorations DT members for the 6th annual Giving Thanks Blog Hop and Giveaway. It's the time of year to count your blessings and think about all the wonderful things we are grateful for! One of the things you may be thankful for is that there are lots of prizes up for grabs, 3 winners of a $15 prize code will be randomly drawn from comments left on the STAMPlorations blog and designers' blogs. Also, 2 winners will receive their choice of STAMPlorations products with a combined MSRP value of up to $25 and the big one, 1 winner will receive their choice of STAMPlorations products with a combined MSRP value of up to $50! For more details about the blog, hop, giveaway and full rules, check out the 6th annual Giving Thanks Blog Hop on the STAMPlorations blog. 

For my thank you card, I started by masking off a rectangle using the Rectangles Flexi-Template and inking Distress Inks through the All Blooms stencil. I added a bit of water and ink splatters because - well, why not. Then I stamped the florals from Bloomfully: Sparkle, coloured with Copics and fussy cut them. Last, I added a sentiment from Everyday Sentiments which I inked with some distress ink.

STAMPlorations Spring Fling

Welcome to the STAMPlorations Spring Fling event! Every spring, the lovely Shery, Mummy of STAMPlorations, does a grand big event with twelve days of giveaways. And I'm super excited that Shery always invites her design team (including yours truly!!) to join in on the fun. We are sharing spring themed projects which will hopefully inspire you to get creative too!

Every day there is a prize to be won by commenting on the STAMPlorations Spring Fling blog post and the designer's blog posts. You can comment until the 19th of April, and all winners will be announced in a big winner's post on April 22nd so don't forget to check in on the STAMPlorations blog to see if you are one of the lucky winners!

For my first Spring Fling project (yes, there are a few more to come in the next few days!!) I created a kraft tag using all the colours of the rainbow. I started by cutting a tag from kraft Card using CUTplorations Stitched Tags Nesting Dies. Then I inked Distress Oxides through the ARTplorations Peony Number Two stencil. I stamped the Be A Rainbow Typografia Motivate sentiment in Onyx Black ink on top of the peony. Last, I stamped two butterflies from Fluttery, coloured them with Copics in all the colours of the rainbow, fussy cut, adhered to the tag and liberally doused in Ice Stickles. I finished the tag with white ribbon and burlap twine from my stash.

Don't forget that during the Spring Fling, the Spring Fling section in the STAMPlorations store is 25% off (no code needed). However, if you use my code STAMPGIRLKAROLA at checkout, you can get up to 45% off!!
