Stampotique Designer's Challenge 123: Fabulous Folds.

 

Hello Creatives, It is STAMPOTIQUE day-!!

And Happy Halloween. Soon to be.

Today Stampotique is hosting SDC123: Fabulous Folds. Make more than one fold in your projects.

I wanted to make something that I can recreate for gifts for the Holidays are around the corner. This will be great.  I will put a gift card inside the bookmark to our local book store, inside of a card that will have the Stampotique Sentiment "Jingle your own damn bells!" 

Perfect don't you think?

Did you notice the book? I love this book!!

There are two folds on the back of this bookmark.

I hope you will stop by Stampotique Designers Blog and play along with us. You could win $30 for your choice of stamps from Stampotique.com.

Looking forward to seeing your amazing creations.

Be Well.

Stone the Crows

Isn't it funny how and when inspiration strikes, I was attempting to do some gardening a few weeks ago when I found hidden under some overgrowth some really big pebbles that we bought back from the seaside about 15 years ago. I managed to drop one of these pebbles on my foot and cursed, "Stone the Crows!!". I then got to thinking about trips to the seaside as a small child and I remember on the sea front ladies selling large pebbles that had been painted with a local scene, I loved these pebbles but never got one. Then I got to thinking about decorating my garden pebble with stamps . . . of course! So I chose the stamps and got to work, beginning by painting the pebble green and then pink. I stamped Moon Girls Crow on tissue paper and cut out, I also stamped the Whole Heart sentiment on tissue paper. I stuck them in position using some PVA glue mixed with water 50/50. I used the heart from Tiny Hand Helds for extra detail and the spotty side from Design Cube to add the brown to blend it all together.

Hope you like it, wishing you a lovely day, Sam xxx

Red, orange and ...

This month Stampotique sponsors the challenges on the Craftorij (a Dutch craftshop) facebookgroup. This week’s theme is Red, Orange and 1 other colour. I added black. Of course I used Stampotique stamps only. These are the stamps I used: Quiet place and Spidergrass

Have fun stamping!

October Guest Designer

We are thrilled to announce our October guest designer, Sam Butler.  You've seen her around, she's a frequent player of our challenges and we are so excited to share her work with you.  Here's more about Sam and another creation for the current Stampotique Designer's Challenge.

Hi, my name is Sam aka Sam21ski. I’ve been crafting for quite a while now and like anything distressed and grungy.  I love any sort of crafting and would say that I am adventurous with new materials and am willing to give anything a go!!

My favourite colour is green, closely followed by brown and I am a great admirer of Tim Holtz.  I love fun and funky so the Stampotique images fit perfectly.  I also love all stuff PaperArtsy too!!

I have a 6 year old bearded collie called Fraser and a partner of over 20+ years called Martin.  The both put up with my antiques on the dining room table, as this is where I craft.

If you want to find out more about me, see what I’ve been up to or get in touch, you’ll find me here http://sam21ski.blogspot.co.uk/
