MIXED MEDIA TAGS by Mandy

Happy Hello Berry71Bleu Friends!

Mandy here sharing my take on this month's fun "Stamp It Up" challenge hosted by Denise.  I decided to create two mixed media tags using "Viva Las Vegastamps" and "7Dots Studio" Papers.

I stamped the butterfly tag using black "Archival" ink....

I added resist stamp details to the below tag using "fine" clear embossing powder.  The stamp has delicate details and I figured thick embossing powder wouldn't work well with this type of stamp.

I was going for a distressed/rustic/weathered look so the stamp work did not need to be perfect.  Here is a close up of the resist stamp work.

Here is an image of the supplies I used for this project!
I just LOVE this stamp and papers from "Viva Las Vegastamps and 7Dots Studio!  They went well together!

The below "Stamp It Up"  mood board shows some beautiful stamps and details for you to be inspired by!

 You can create layouts, cards, art journals, tags or even altered projects, as long as they contain stamping.

 

So now we would love to see your take on this month's challenge! ;-)

As always, we have some yummy goodies up for grabs.

1st Prize:

1 plate o' rubber, the winners choice, shipped to them for free.

Random Prize:

Guest Designer - Maryia Potapovich

Hello Everyone

Today we have an awesome Guest Designer, to play along with our "Stamp It Up Challenge" this month and she is the very talented and lovely Maryia Potapovich.

Here is a little about Maryia.

My name is Maria and I'm a scrapaholic! Of course, the most works I do are made by the requests of customers (note pads, shadow boxes, cards...), but sometimes I want to make something for the soul. Most of my notebooks  go to customers with their individual fairy tale, written exclusively for them. Of course, there are some notebooks without stories in my blog, and there are some stories that do not have notebooks ...

Recently, I like and often make shadow-boxes, maybe because of the high demand for them. But sometimes I do them simply "for the mood."

My work can be seen on my blog: http://mellpellmell.livejournal.com/ or http://mellpellmell.blogspot.com/

Maryia created this gorgeous altered box.

"It was a box made of corrugated cardboard the size of a thick square book. Now it is a vintage decoration for shelves for paintings."

I've used stamps from 3 collections for this project:

http://7dotsstudio.com/cold-country

http://7dotsstudio.com/illumination

Head on over to Maryia's blog to view the many, more wonderful projects.

Thanks so much Maryia for this gorgeous inspiration! ;-)

There is still a few days left to play along with the challenge and some yummy goodies up for grabs.

The Usual Suspects Layout by Cathi

Hello scrappy friends! Cathi here with my layout for this month's Stamp it Up challenge!!

This month our team has been sponsored by Viva LasVegaStamps!! They have such an amazing amount of stamps in their shop, something for every theme, style and subject! I had fun working with the stamps I was sent, using them for the background, title and journaling!

Here is the moodboard I used to inspire me: 

I used the gorgeous 7 Dots Studio Illumination paper and tags for this. Here you can see a cute ampersand stamp I used for my background. I added some flowers, wooden pieces and flair from my stash.

I added a bit of bakers twine for fun here. My daughter and her friend acting crazy: the Usual Suspects around here!

Here you can see the Viva Las VegaStamps "Usual Suspect" stamp fully and the stamped sentiment I added, appropriate one for the two of them!

Join our challenge and win fantastic prizes!!!

Stamp it Up - June Challenge

Hello Everyone

It's my turn, Denise, to host this month's challenge! It's a real goodie and I hope you will like it too!

It's a "Stamp It Up" Challenge and so we want to see projects with lots of stamping, whether digital or rubber!

You can create layouts, cards, art journals, tags or even altered projects, as long as they contain stamping.

I went "all out stamping" and created some seed packets for this challenge.

I had forgotten how much fun stamping can be! ;-)

I used 2 templates from the internet for the packets, which I printed onto some Graphic 45 papers and then started stamping away.

Here's some close-ups of the four different packets.

These are a little larger than the one's above.

I used StazOn ink for stamping all my images and so I was able to use water colour pencils and water to colour the images.

This gorgeous pea stamp is from our sponsor this month, Viva Las VegaStamps and was the inspiration for the seed packets! ;-)

So now, we would love to see your take on this month's challenge! ;-)

As always, we have some yummy goodies up for grabs.
