{Spotlight Project} Create Elegant Cards Using Mixed Media Stamps with Deepti!



Hello friends! Deepti here and welcome to another spotlight feature. Though my experience and knowledge in mixed media is limited, I am always attracted towards these stamps and look for ways in which I can use them on CAS cards, before I actually start to use them for mixed media projects... Perhaps someday I will get there ;) So for this spotlight I have used the stamps as a part of my CAS elegant designs :)

Here's the look...

{Spotlight Project} Let's Talk Ice Cream with Shirley




Fancy a gelato? I found a piece of watercoloured mixed media paper, and it just reminded me of gelato, so that was my starting point of this project, using the Sweet Cravings stamp club set.

{Spotlight Project} Becca Gets Her Fancy Folds On


Every once in a while, I do something stupid.


Like decide that I'm going to figure out how to make a popup computer desk card. Unlike other more mathematical, clean, and organized minds... my mind is a one-woman-tornado-lookalike piece of gray matter. It was not meant for figuring out fancy fold cards. Luckily you all get to be the beneficiaries of my stupidity.

Heads up, STAMPlorations friends! There's a fun blog hop starting today for those of us who love or enjoy a cup of coffee (or tea or chocolate)! The hop is hosted by Amy Tsuruta and Chaitali Narla.



Amy and Chaitali have invited lots of sponsors for the hop, including STAMPlorations, who are offering tons of fabulous prizes! Play along by creating a fall-themed project featuring coffee, tea and/or cocoa images. Post it on your blog and then link it up at the linky found on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog. The linky is open until Friday, September 22. Winners of sponsor prizes will be randomly drawn! (Psst! Keep scrolling for a free digi stamp you can use in your projects!)

Link up your fall-themed coffee, tea, and/or cocoa card(s) here
