Bi-Weekly Challenge #2 Winner, DT Call, and VIGNETTE Clear Stamps Preview

Thank you to everyone who entered their projects to our 2nd bi-weekly challenge. Like the previous challenge, DH and I deliberated for some time as we thought all the entries were really good!

Ornate Autumn Butterflies Card by SmilynStef
We thought SmilynStef’s card was gorgeous — from the embossing to the
cut-out butterfly, color combo, pearl accents, and sentiment.
Congratulations, SmilynStef! Please grab your winner badge below to display on your blog!

Grungy Christmas Card by Sandie
We loved Sandie’s modern, trendy take on the sketch and
her use of non-traditional Christmas colors.

Thank you again to everyone who participated in our bi-weekly challenge. Our next bi-weekly challenge will be in January 2014 — once we have a few ladies join Nonni and me in the STAMPlorations design team. If you’d like to be part of the STAMPlorations DT, applying is super-simple: create any paper craft project that fits our current monthly challenge and enter it there! As a DT member, you’ll receive samples of upcoming stamps in the STAMPlorations line. 

And starting next week, 9 new clear stamp sets in the VIGNETTE Series will be available on the STAMPlorations shop and Etsy shop. These stamps are perfect for creating CAS and one layer cards, as well as a variety of paper crafts.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Bi-Weekly Challenge Reminder Post and Other News

Hi, everyone! Our first bi-weekly challenge is still underway. There’s plenty of time left to create and submit your paper craft project(s). One thing I didn’t mention in the original post is that if there are at least 20 entries by the closing date (October 23), there will be a prize — 1 stamp set from STAMPlorations™ holiday stamp sets – winner gets to pick 

Anyway, below is another card I made based on the sketch for your inspiration. So how about it? Try creating a card or two for Christmas (or any occasion for that matter) and enter it to our challenge. Link to the challenge is here.

The supplies I used for the card are here.

Also, the  STAMPlorations™ shop is now live! We offer flat rate shipping: $2.50 to US addresses, $5.50 to Canadian addresses, and $8.00 to all other countries. And just for our challenge blog readers, purchase any of our stamps and we’ll include a pack of 12 kraft tags in your order. Make sure to write “free tags” in the COMMENT field during checkout.
