I was delighted by an invitation from a friend to Play Cards - yes, it can work this way, too!
Shirley Bampton a.k.a. Shirley B's Stamping Stuff, and The Bee's Knees, designs sets for Stamplorations. I once used her fun Poinsettia set for a split-four technique, in a much different, non-Christmas way - perhaps you'll remember it? If not you can see it here. Shirley loved it so much that she made her own - it caused quite a bit of shopping I hear! Yay!
Shirley invited me to play with another of her sets - yes, please! We only wish we could do it in the same place!
We're using The Bee's Knees: Carved Flowers today - totally reminds me of 'potato stamping' in elementary school. Stamplorations, and Shirley have done all the work for us!
Shirley - at your suggestion: using slimline style - I've made four slimline minis - this is my 6.5 x 11 inch panel - you'll see that I've scored it to indicate my sections:
And a closer look at each, with the inks used:
Love these fun designs and the bright colors you used! And I have added this set to my wish list... how come I hadn't noticed it before? Lots of possibilities!
ReplyDeleteLove these bright, beautiful cards, Michele!! What a great idea to make 4 mini slimline cards this way. Have a wonderful holiday weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are adorable but oh those ink colors....wow! I may have to invest!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely LOVE these! Cheers :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun, I love that Shirley invited you to play cards! And play cards you did! Aces girl, ACES!
ReplyDeleteI love how you got 4 mini slimline CAS design cards out of one stamped 8 1/2" x 11" Piece of cardstock. You were so creative with all the stamps from Shirley Bees "Carved flowers" set, which I have:-) You have really inspired me and so has Shirley's Slimline cards been so creative. What a fun time for both of you:-) TFS my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy Can't wait to see you playday again next month:-)

ReplyDeleteOh my! These are so fun, Michele! I LOVE how you've used these stamps and turned them into 4 cards with a different way to do the split! Such bright and fun colors too! I may have to do some shopping now...
ReplyDeleteWhat a FUN set to use, and your panel of bold and bright flowers made 4 FABULOUS mini slimline cards Michele...Shirley must have been thrilled when she saw what you did with her stamps! I must admit I never thought of doing the split four horizontally like you did but I LOVE how it turned out and will definitely have to try it out!! Wonderful cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing the stamps, I'm even more impressed, my friend! What a wonderful use of them! That little snail is the bomb!
