Stencil Sunday #49 and June Mixed Media Challenge

Welcome to another edition of Stencil Sunday with the STAMPlorations girls in the Mixed Media design team  And because it's the first Sunday of the month, it's also time for a new Mixed Media Challenge!


Thank you to everyone who linked up to the May Mixed Media Challenge! We'll announce the winner and top picks tomorrow, June 6. Let's start off with the girls' awe-mazing mixed media projects!

     
      

CASEplorations June


Welcome to the June installation of CASEplorations. Did you see the beautiful entries in last month's gallery - WOW! And did you notice we're now coming to you on the 5th? We decided to take some of the load off your reader on the 1st of the month ;) You'll see the new CASEplorations post on the fifth of each month from now on.

But trust me, it was worth waiting. We have the sweetest of cards for you to CASE this month and it's from the sweetest gal. Certainly you know Shelly Kurth of Simply Sweet Greetings! I've always loved Shelly's über-CAS creations. Nowadays you see her all over blogland. She's currently designing for Little Tangles, Waffle Flower and Jillian Vance. Get ready to delight in this card of hers from a year ago, made for a "wedding" challenge.

Beautifully elegant, isn't it? But it wouldn't have to be for a wedding. The elements - pastels, gold, circle, flowers, black handwritten sentiment, bow - could work well for other occasions too.

June Challenge - Theme and Sketch

Hey there, STAMPlorations friends! It's a new month, which means a new theme and sketch challenge here on the blog! Thank you to those who played in last month's theme and sketch challenge. We will announce the May winner and top picks on Monday, June 6, so check back again.

Now onto this month's challenge. We'd love for you to create and link up your projects based on this month's themesketch, or both -- you've got the whole month of June to play :o)

For June, our theme is STAMPS & CELEBRATION. So create a project that celebrates anything -- birthday, anniversary, a holiday, or basically anything that you deem is worth celebrating.


And here's our fun sketch to get inspired by as well:

June CAS Card Challenge

Hey there, STAMPlorations friends! We'd like to thank everyone who played in last month's challenge. We certainly enjoyed seeing all the beautiful cards in the gallery. We'll announce the winner and top picks on Monday, June 6.

Now let's get the June Challenge started! Our CAS Card Challenge is pretty simple: it's straightforward anything CAS goes with the optional color twist. Create a clean and simple card with or without the color we've picked to include. And for June, blue is the optional color twist. (You can use other colors with blue.)
