{Special Post} CUTplorations Bloomtangled Cover Dies & Simple Sentiments Dies + Comment to Win

Happy Wednesday, folks! Throughout March, the STAMPlorations girls will be 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.

Okay, are you ready to be wowed? Get ready because I'm super excited to share with you the projects that the STAMPlorations girls made to showcase our brand new Bloomtangled cover plate dies. You had a sneak peek of the dies in this post. There are 2 of these cover plate dies right now in the store and I've got at least 8 more designed and simply waiting to go into production over the next several months. Plus, we've got 10 new phrase dies to go perfectly with the cover plates.

{Mixed Media Tutorial} Melissa Marks Thyme

Hi! Are you headed towards Spring in your part of the world? Or would you like to grow some fresh herbs indoors? I may have a project that will interest you. I've made some herb garden markers to share with you. 

I hope that you enjoy seeing the process I used to create these cute little garden markers and are inspired to do a little crafting of your own.

I used the following STAMPlorations products for this tutorial: 

ARTplorations Stencils: Leaves 1 - Sanna Lippert Designs, Bloom Silhouettes,

STAMPlorations: Trendy Leaves 2

CUTplorations: Curly Labels/Tags Nesting Dies

March Challenge - All about Spring and Faith

Hello STAMPlorations friends! Did you play along with us in our modified February challenge? I hope so. I'm back today to introduce our theme for the March challenge. You may remember that we're doing things a bit differently here on the blog for a couple months as we take a little "Winter" break to give Shery and her family time to play catch up and to adjust to daily life with a new baby and a toddler!

As a reminder, we have only one challenge for you this month. The monthly challenge has a theme and as long as you follow the theme, any type of project is welcome! Then we’ll return to our regular programming in May;)

Ready to see what some of the DT girls came up with for this month's theme of All about Spring and Faith? Get ready for some birds, flowers, inspiring words and plenty of springy colors.

      

      

      

  

{Special Post} STAMPlorations at Less Is More + Introducing the Bloomtangled Cover Plate Dies!

Hey, STAMPlorations friends! I'm popping by to share a couple of quick cards I made featuring two of our brand-spankin' new and awesome Bloomtangled cover plate dies for the current challenge over at Less Is More, where STAMPlorations is the sponsor for the month of March! For the next couple of weeks, it's a color challenge: MONOCHROME!

   

When I say quick...I really mean quick! With a 2-month-old and a 2-year-old around, I hardly have time to craft. (It has been months since I made anything; in fact, I didn't get to make and send out (late) Christmas cards at all last year!)
