STAMPlorations new stamp release - It's a Hot Mess!

 Hello crafty friends and welcome!

Today is the start of a two-day blog hop to showcase

my brand new stamp line at STAMPlorations!

These are available for pre-order now until the 15th.

announced on March 10th.

Today we are showcasing Hot Mess!

Here are some cards I've made using this set:

This was a super easy card to create, thanks to the main panel

I selected from the Quick Cards #5 -Artsy Florals A2 Card Fronts.

I trimmed it a tad because I like the card base to show and act as

a matte at the same time. 😊 I stamped the sentiment from the

Hot Mess set on a piece of gray card, notched one end and

adhered. As a finishing touch, I added some silver sequins from the

Black & Siver Chic ShakerBlends.

Last week I blogged about using gilding flakes for the first time

on this post. This was another of the die cuts I used with it, and

I love how it looks! I started out by die cutting the largest die from

the Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting dies.

I sponged gray ink on opposite corners through the

Dots All Over Stencil and used another stamp from the

Hot Mess stamp set in the bottom corner.

I used gilding flakes on the solid die from the

Zen Coffee Cup Layering dies and cut the intricate layer from

black card stock. Using one of the stamps from the

Brave One stamp set, I repurposed it to use

as the steam coming from the cup!

In case you missed the STAMPlorations post on Monday, here

are the first three cards I made using this set:

All of these use ATC's from the Retro Fashionistas ATC Ephemera

and one of the border dies from Art Edges dies.

Thank you SO MUCH for visiting! Don't forget to check out what
