Week 76: PARTY

 

We're going to celebrate the close of 2013 and the beginning of 2014 with a two-week challenge this time around!  What better way to do that than with a PARTY?!  You'll have not one, but TWO weeks to create and we have a new sponsor helping us out too!

http://www.stamplorations.com/

David and I (Shery) are a husband-and-wife team and we own and manage
STAMPlorations™ from our home office in Central California. All of our
stamps are proudly made in the USA. Our clear stamps are made from the
finest, non-yellowing photopolymer resin and they're naturally sticky.
I'm an avid paper crafter and I love graphic design, so in June 2013,
my husband and I launched our home-based stamp company featuring my
designs. Through our stamp line, we hope to encourage crafters of all
ages and experience levels to "Stamp with all your ART!". We come out
with new stamps approximately every other month.

This week's winner will receive 1 Vignette stamps set (see choices here) from the shop + the "It's All About the Chocolate" digital paper pack (20 papers)!

Take a look at what the design team and this week's guest designer created for inspiration!

Adding glitter is a nice touch to a CAS card.


Kimberly

Adding hand drawn elements and dimensional foam squares adds a "pop" to a CAS design.


Maureen

To use strong patterns on CAS cards, place them in negative space and keep the rest of your card crisp & clean. 


Now go have fun and don't forget to link up your PARTY creation by Sunday at 4:00 p.m. (CST)!
