Happy, happy, yum, yum

Here is a fast and simple little card that uses Kara Nichols' new image Yum, Yum and my tiny handhelds  and happy, happy. 
Kira's Yum Yum holds a little nut, but I though he might enjoy some ice cream.

Wouldn't  you?

Coby's Saturday

Party in the Netherlands, the whole country

is orange because our King Willem Alexander

is celebrating his birthday. 47 Years.

And Party it is, in every town, every village there are

a lots of things to do.

Little children are selling what they don't need

anymore, other children are buying that stuff.

Music, balloons in the air, all kinds

of challenges and almost very one is wearing

something orange.

That's why I create this Art Journal page

to congratulate our King:

used stamps:

Happy, happy, happy by Daniel Torrente

Pilling Thing by Daniel Torrente

Splattered Mug by France Papillon

 Whisker Monster with Sign by Kira Nichols

a little Friday tag by Sarah

I really enjoyed playing with one of Roc's new images this week, the very appropriately named 'dog'!!  Roc's images are great for stamping onto pre-painted paper as they are such 'open' images.  I've just bought a couple of new ones!!!

Stampotique stamps used:

dog  2433  Roc Nicholas

row of numbers  7213 Amy Wilson Wellenstein

french journal page  10015 France Papillon

Something old, something new

Today I am sharing a whimsical card featuring the very first image I have ever created for Stampotique and my most recent in the 2014 Spring release!

The newest image, medium sunflower is standing alongside of The Fleur de Girl. 
I think they work well together, don't you?

One of France's new stamps says

Enjoy the little things

Wow.  What a fun week are having at Stampotique showing off our new collections.  Here is a new image that you will adore called Agatha's star.

Ever since I was a little girl I just love collecting small containers. Little tins and boxes are just perfect for storing tiny little treasures.  I repurposed an Altoid tin featuring Magda Polakow's Agatha's star.  I am using this as a travel tin for my watercolors.

April Showers - Wednesday's With Claudine

Welcome back to another Wednesday and a new challenge over at the Stampotique Designer's Challenge Blog

This week our lovely Carol Fox has chosen "April Showers" as our theme

I am SO ready for some Spring and April Showers here in Colorado. It's been such a cold a long drawn out winter so I think this is a wonderful challenge and it couldn't come at a better time

I thought that I would use one of our new release stamps for this challenge so I am using:

Agatha Star - By Artist Magda Polakow 

I am thrilled about Magda's new stamps and I just love them all

I used a gelli plate print for the background on this card, I thought it sort of looked like rain coming down and I just love the colors

Thanks again for coming by and as always, thanks so much for your support!! 

Have a happy day!

As always, you can see more on this card at my blog: claudinesartcorner.blogspot.com

Coby's Saturday

And Saturday again, this time I made an Art Journal

page. The background is a Gelliprint,

The flower and the butterfly are stamped

with Versamark en black embossingpowder.

The quote with Archival.

Hope you like it!

Used stamps: Giant Daisy, Large Butterfly and A single sunbeam

an art journaled tag

I had a bit of a play with my versamark inkpad this week.  I used it to create a different effect with my inky background, stampeding  'sometimes I pretend to be normal ...' repeatedly.  I heat set it then added dylusions inks.

Some splashing of water, and extra stamping and I was happy with my background for the artichoke monster.  I used an old map for my background journal page!

Thanks for looking, Sarah :)

Stampotique stamps used:

artichoke monster   4036 Kira Nichols

sometimes I pretend  3069 Jo Capper-Sandon

row of numbers  7213 Amy Wilson Wellenstein

Maison des fleurs

Today I have a square card with Maison des fleurs in the center surrounded by a garden of hearts using Abby's hearts.  Hanging in the Coptic colored sky are 2 nuages.  A happy and simple card to stamp and color.  Suitable for birthdays, thank yous, house warming, or just a card to say hello.  More information can be found at: Veralanestudio.com.

Tuesday with Val and a Happpy Card

Hi everyone!

Today's project features the fun letters of the Altered Hello stamp.  Bright background papers and an oversized flower seemed to complement this stamp perfectly.  I used my Silhouette Cameo to create the card pieces and fabulous flower from the infamous scrap pile :) 

Altered Hello by Stampotique Originals

“Between hello and goodbye is I love you.
” 

Jarod Kintz, 99 Cents For Some Nonsense

it's monday

it's that time once again, monday, so here i am, roc,  posting my creation for the day.  i've made an altered envelope, so once more,  i think i'll do a give away.  details will be on my blog.
to make the envelope i used quite a number of my rubber stamps.  they are:  squiggle arms, horse, flying heart, and for the top border i used the tail feathers of my rubber stamp flying bird.  i really enjoy using pieces of my rubber stamps to create new designs.  that is one reason i design them without too much frill - so they are easy to cut apart and piece.  i hope you find creative things to do with my rubber stamps.

Astrid on Sunday

Hello you!! In a couple of weeks it's Easter already, so I've made a simple card for the occasion.

Coby's Saturday

Yes! It's the first saturday of the month and that means:

a new Calenderpage for the birthdays.

April: new live, flowers start blooming again and the birds are so busy

with building a nest. I love this period and

that's why I made this page:

Used stamps: Starbird with Chick, Months, Carol's Flower large,

Carol's Flower small, Numeric

stampotique on a gelli plate

I have had so much fun this week playing with a new technique using my gelli plate.  Step by step instructions are available on my blog but I hope you like the mini journal page I came up with :) I have to say, Jo's shrooms are my favourite, favourite stamps and I love using them in my journals. I'd love to know what your favourite stampotique stamp is!

Stampotique stamps used:

Owlseeyou by Kira Nichols

heart tie by Jo Capper-Sandon

Giant Shroom by Jo Capper-Sandon

Mushroom group by Jo Capper-Sandon

Quiet Place by Jo Capper-Sandon

Hearts don't have to be red

Spring time colors, layers of paint and ink make up this funky tag.

My "Love you heart" stamp from Stampotique lends itself to this loose layered style.

Hearts don't have to be red, nor are they limited to Valentine's Day.  This heart is perfect for everyday stamping, used alone or in a repeat pattern. 

Hope it inspires you today.

Tuesday with Val and a Handmade Envelope

Hi everyone,

In a continuing effort to use up my scrap pile,
I took my new Envelope Punch Board and Baby Cthulhu out for a test drive!

I can see that making envelopes from my scraps is going to be a new obsession!

What projects are you doing to use up your (well-orgainzed!!) scraps?

Thanks so much for dropping by,

Val :)
