Hello crafty friends and welcome!

I'm back on the STAMPlorations blog with my final

Sticker Monday post. I've created three different cards, ranging from CAS to very

labor intensive. The first two cards use stickers from the Happiness Here clear stickers,

and the last card features the Bits of Washi 2 clear stickers.

First up is the CAS card:

I started by die cutting a panel using the Circles All Over Texture Cover Plate and matting it on green card stock. I added one of the stickers from the Happiness Here clear stickers to the bottom right corner. When making the shaker element, I didn't want foam adhesive to show around the

outline of the heart shaker balloon, so I die cut it 9 times, along with the solid acetate piece, stacked

and glued together. Another solid shape was die cut from a very light green card stock

for the base, then added sequins from the Sparkly Greens ShakerBlends before gluing the

stacked outline to the base.

My second card is what I like to call Clean and Layered:

This card is loosely based on Mojo Monday sketch #558. Some pretty paper,

and a yummy looking ice cream cone from the Sweet Cravings stamps and dies 

colored with Spectrum Noir markers then coated with Wink of Stella, because

who doesn't love a shimmery ice cream cone?!

To finish the card front, I stamped a sentiment from the Balloons and Banners stamp set.

My last card is a labor of love:

That herringbone background panel was created using just over two

sheets of the Bits of Washi 2 sticker pack. Yes, call me crazy, but I really

wanted to use as many stickers as possible on my card, and this is

the design I came up with. 😁

I trimmed it to size, matted it on some black card stock and adhered to the card base.

For the final touch, I die cut the Birthday Wishes phrase die and glued it on top

of the design, then added a few sequins from the Black and Silver Chic ShakerBlends.

I hope that you enjoyed the projects I've made using stickers and hope that

you try them out for yourself. They are super fun to use!

Sticker Monday at STAMPlorations (part 2!)

 

Hey crafty friends, welcome!

I'm up on the STAMPlorations blog with my second Sticker Monday post!

Today, I'm using stickers from the Inspirational #5 sticker pack.

I had an idea to use some of the cover plate dies as a stencil to create a second

set of cards. Let me show you what I mean. 

For my first card, I've used the Dragonfly cover plate die:

After die cutting, I placed another piece of white card stock under it and 

carefully pounced various Distress Inks over it, making sure that I got ink

in the cut out areas.

 

Here's the finished card using the die cut panel:

For my second card, I used the Butterfly cover plate die in the same way

but using different Distress Inks:

 

On my last card, I've used the Bloomtangled #1 cover plate die. 

This time, I pounced Distress Oxides, to change it up. LOL!

The finished card using the die cut:

On these three cards, I've added sequins from the Color Confetti ShakerBlends.

So, what about those "stenciled" panels? Here are the cards I've

created, using stickers from the Inspirational #4 package:

These are just a couple of fun ways to add stickers to your projects.

 I'm showcasing the Coffee Feel Good stickers for my projects.

I decided to use the same color combo for all my projects.

First up is a shaker card:

The great thing about using these stickers, is that you can cut them apart when

needed, as I've done on my shaker card. Along with the stickers, I've also used

the Dots 'n Beans stencil, Zen Coffee Cup Layering dies, and the

Mocha Swirl ShakerBlends.

*****

Here's my second card:

I created a frame around the sticker using the coffee cup-to-go image

from the Gone Postal stamp set. (You can also get this image in

digital format here.) On the card base, I stamped around the edges with one

of the images from the Mixed Media Grunge set.

*****

My third card:

Along with the same stencil and cup image already used, the background panel is

cut using a Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting die. The green

strip was cut with one of the Art Edges dies.

 These are just a few ways to incorporate stickers into your projects. So, what do you think? 

I'd love to hear, and look forward to reading your comments!

Thanks so much for visiting!
