And today it's my turn to share some cards for STAMPlorations 5th Birthday Celebrations.

At first I am sharing my three favorite cards I've made with the awesome products from STAMPlorations.

Favorite #1

I love this bold and fresh watercoloring with some stamping texture on my background.

The supplies are:  Charming Word Die, Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies and In Bloom: Heartfelt Hibiscus.

Please check here for more details.

Favorite #2

As you know, floral is my favorite theme on my projects. I tried to use other themes with mixed media on this card and loved how it turned out.

The supplies are: Trendy Birds 2 and Zen Hearts - ARTplorations Stencil.

Please check here for more details.

Favorite #3 

Love the fractured glass effects on my background! The basic black and white is a great setting for the colors of the central butterfly.

The supplies are: Trendy Butterflies 2 and Broken Glass - ARTplorations Stencil.

Please check here for more details.

I also have a new card for you!

For this card, I'm featuring In Bloom: Radiant Roses and Smile.

I started by stamping the roses on the panel in gray ink.

Then, I heat embossed the rose in white and colored with ZIG real brush pens.

After fussy cut, I adhered the rose with foam tape to the stamping panel.

I finish off my card with the "smile" word.

Well that's it from me. 

You can join in the fun by CASEing any of my cards from this post and link up to the birthday celebration linky. There are over $500 worth of prizes to be won. Find all the details on the main blog post here.

Hope you feel inspired to join in with our birthday celebrations, and most importantly, wish Shery and STAMPlorations continues to go from strength to strength! 

Thanks for popping by!

STAMPlorations 4th Birthday Blog Hop & Wishlist Link Up

Hi, welcome to the Day 3 of STAMPlorations 4th anniversary celebration!

STAMPlorations turns 4! We are celebrating from June 26 to 30 and showcasing new products, you can check the STAMPlorations website to see those gorgeous products and join the Birthday Blog Hop & Wishlist Linky Party! 

Here are my DT card using Shaker Balloons #2 Star, Gift Builder #2, Gorgeous Word Die

 and Bold Sentiments: Gorgeous.

For the first card, I started by cutting the Gift Builder #2 and added some pattern papers. Then, I arranged gifts and adhered with foam tape. 

The black word is from Gorgeous Word Die, I also stamped the "simply"(from Bold Sentiments: Gorgeous) in black.

To finish off, added some nuvo crystal drops as decoration. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For this card, I first created the watercoloring background with ZIG real brush pens.

I cut three solid star-shaped balloons and one outline star-shaped balloon. I think that the outline star-shaped balloon is very suitable for making shaker, so added some sequins . 

To finish, I added the die-cut "gorgeous".

STAMPlorations 3rd Birthday Blog Hop Day4

Hi, Welcome to STAMPlorations 3rd Birthday Blog Hop Day4.

Today I am featuring Kathryn’s Big Wishes by Dee’s Artsy Impressions Special Stamp Release.

Here is my DT card, hope you like it.

This card is very easy to do. 

I think "shaker" is suitable for birthday theme, so I started by creating the shaker balloon. 

Next, I colored the girl with Zig clean color real brush pens.

I then stamped the sentiment in black. To emphasize the "wish", I used ombre colors and underline by using black pen.

DAY 2 STAMPlorations Birthday Blog Hop

Hi, everyone. 

Welcome back to join our happy STAMPlorations Birthday Blog Hop Day 2!!!

Today I would like to share my DT card using PartyGirl with you.

The gorgeous party dress is very eye-catching! I decided to display the dress on my card.

First, I stamped the girl's body with black ink, and also stamped the sentiments on the background by masking the body. 

I created two-layered party dress to emphasize the layer and dreamy fluffy skirt.

I heat embossed the dress in white, colored with Zig real brush pens(pink, dark pink, light carmine) and fussy cut. I did this step twice, so I got two skirts. I then glued one skirt on the cardbase, adhering foams behind the other for the dimension.
