{Spotlight Project} Maria Spotlights Stretching your Stamps

Hi STAMPlorations peeps! Well after my epic bokeh fail in my last Spotlight post I'm keeping it sweet and simple and quite white in today's project. You've probably seen me stretch my stamps before. Most recently it seems I'm constantly abusing Shirley's poor snowman for his wonderful organic snowball shapes ;) That, combined with the Trendy Spring Blooms dies that were on my desk for my last Spotlight, led me to this flower design.

{Inspiration Project Post #165}

Hello STAMPlorations Friends! This week the Inspiration girls are showcasing stamps designed by STAMPlorations owner Shery under her label Shery Russ Designs.

The girls have been busy creating a variety of projects using stamps, dies and coloring book pages designed by Shery.

This week and every week until the end of April, we are mixing things up a little. All our stamps, stencils and dies -excluding retiring stamps- are 10% off, no coupon needed.

And if you happen to have a coupon code, such as a personal discount code for being a stamp club subscriber, you can use the code to get an even better deal. You can also find a personal discount code for you to use on the Inspiration Girls' private blogs.

We'll still randomly draw a winner from all the comments left on our Inspiration Posts, so have a look and leave a comment for your entry to win a $10 gift certificate to the store.

Hi there!

{Stamp Designer Spotlight} Typografia ROMANTIQUE from Shery Russ Designs + Comment to Win

A happy Monday to you all! Since the beginning of the month, the STAMPlorations girls have been sharing projects featuring newly released products. We're tying in these weekly posts with the current challenge -- and if you'd like to win $25 spending money, all you need to do is check back weekly and leave comments here on the blog and on the designers' blogs. There are only a couple of days left this month so better get to commenting!

Today we're featuring the stamps in our new Typografia line: ROMANTIQUE. To those of you who have been following our blog for a couple of years (or more), you know that I love typography and creating word art stamps. While the stamps in the Typografia Romantique line are, well, romantic in nature, they can be used in cards and other projects that aren't necessarily romance-inspired.

And if you want another chance at winning, link up any project you have with a love theme or red in it to the February Challenge - Paint It Red. Only a couple of days left to link up!

By the way,  all of my (Shery's) stamps and dies are 10% off -- no coupon needed...the discount is automatically applied in the shopping cart! You can even snap them up at an extra 20% off if you use any one of the STAMPlorations girls' discount code, which you'll find when you visit their blogs! You'll find all of my stamps here.
