Let's have a look at today's cards. First up the one using Perfect Pearls in watercolour:

The second one uses the easy way of using Twinkling H2Os:

{Mixed Media Tutorial} Mixed Media Quilt Card by MariLynn

MariLynn here with a fun project for you. National Quilt day was March 16th. I thought it would be fun to make a mixed media quilt card. 

HAPPY SPRING! + a heads up on the upcoming Spring Fling 12 Days of Giveaway event!

Hello, Spring! You're here!

March 20 is the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. And here at STAMP HQ, we are finally enjoying temps of 70+. (I consider anything below 72 F freezing temperature haha!)

I have been looking forward to warmer days when my little ones and I can spend more time outside during the day. Now that Winter is walking, Kathryn has someone to get into trouble play with outside. DH and I plan on tiring out the little imps (re: letting them loose on the property to run, explore, get dirty, etc. at least a couple of hours every day) so they'll sleep a lot better (and longer) at night. And so we'd get some sleep as well!

Anyway...the STAMPgirls and I will be celebrating spring via the Spring Fling 12 Days of Giveaway event that starts on April 1! Be prepared to see beautiful spring-themed projects and yes, every day for 12 days, we will be giving a prize to a lucky commenter. Keep reading!

And hey, we need your help to spread the word about the event!

We hope to see you on April 1st, okay?

{Spotlight Project} Bloomful Frame With Deepti

Hello friends! Deepti here and welcome to a spotlight feature. Today, I am playing with the newest stamp club set Bloomful and for this one I decided to stamp the floral images to build a frame. I also did Distress inking but you can skip that step and simply stamp along a frame. Let me show you...

March Challenges Extra Projects -- Have You Played Yet?

Hello, STAMP friends! The days seem to be marching along real fast, no? March will be over before we know it. The question is...have you played in our challenges yet? There's still a couple of weeks left to play and link up your projects. We've got some fun themes, sketch, color, and inspiration photo. Try and see which one will stir your creative mojo.

Some of the STAMPgirls are sharing extra projects to give you a little nudge :o)

If you're new to our blog, please take a moment to become familiar with the challenge guidelines -- we would hate for anyone to be voted by the team as a winner or be randomly chosen as a top pick and then not qualify for the prize because she didn't follow the rules.
