{Mixed Media Tutorial} Monochromatic Tag by Amy

Good afternoon everyone, Amy here, with a little Monochromatic Tag using Distress Paints. I sure hope you all had a wonderful Holiday with your friends and family! With Winter upon us, I wanted to bring some color and butterflies into my project, and I hope you enjoy it!

Merry Christmas!

Hello, STAMPlorations friends!

Five days ago, we welcomed the youngest member of the STAMP family -- Winter Rainbow Russ. David and I, and especially her big sister Kat, are so happy to have her home for Christmas.

From all of us at STAMPlorations, we wish you a very merry Christmas and wonderfully blessed 2018!

Thank you so much for supporting our little company in 2017. We look forward to bringing you more fun and creativity in the coming year!

With love,

Shery, David, Kathryn, Winter, and the STAMPlorations girls

Hello Everyone!  Lynne here today to share my last tutorial for 2017.  And we are Down to the Wire with Christmas Eve just around the corner, which is always when I run out of wrapping paper!! So I want to share with you how I quickly turned some brown parcel paper into my own personalized Christmas wrapping paper using my stencils with acrylic craft paint and a foam brayer.

 

December CAS Card Challenge Reminder

Hey, STAMPlorations friends! Here's to remind you that this month's CAS Card Challenge is in full swing and there's still about 10 days left to join in with the fun. It's anything CAS goes with gold as the optional color twist.

If you were inspired by our sketch and/or theme this month, make sure you link up your creation to our December Monthly Theme and/or Sketch Challenge as well. If your card has diecuts, has a STAMPlorations product, and was inspired by the photo here, link it up in the November CUTplorations Challenge gallery. If your CAS card happens to have a Christmas theme and features a tag, make sure you link it up to our newest challenge, TAGplorations, as well! And lastly, if your card has STAMPlorations products (stamps, stencils, and/or dies) as the main attraction, link it up to our Never-Ending Anything Goes Challenge. Yep, more chances for prizes we have up for grabs :o)
