Festive Fun: Let's Celebrate!

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Hi everyone, Liesbeth here, it's my turn to show you some inspiration for our Festive Fun challenge! Read everything about it HERE and let's stamp together...hope you'll join the fun.

My example is a very simple one:

I made a background onto very glossy paper (Chromolux) using alcohol inks. With black StazOn ink, I stamped the  Tres Caballeros  and cut it out with a photo edge scissors. I did the same with the text (Party words) I finished the card with lots of glitter glue at the hats and a bit of white gel pen.

Hello all Cathy here with a slimline card for you.

Stamps used.

Pointy hat gnome

small snowflake set

So I was inspired by my Christmas pattern paper I have. (pinks,teals,whites, ) 

I stamped Pointy hat gnome on white cardstock and then I stamped small snowflake set in pinks all around him. 

I then colored him in teal to match the teal snowflake pattern paper. 
Next I layered the papers and then I decided to make it into a slimline card. So I then took one of the snowflake from the  small snowflake set that I didn't use and stamped that in teal ink all over the card base.

Spooktacular Florals: scary bird man :-)

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Hi stampers, Liesbeth here with the final Blogpost for our Spooktacular Florals challenge. Tomorrow a new one will start!

This is how I made this card: I stamped the flowers from the ATC Doodles set several times with orange and purple ink. Using black ink, I stamped Bird Diva and scattered a tiny bit of silver embossingpowder and melted it with a heat tool. I also stamped  Spiderweb background on some corners. On a seperate piece of paper I stamped the mans head (Victoriana) and cut him out.Before glueing him on the card, I made a shadow behind it using charcoal, just to let the head pop out. I coloured the piece with color pencils and added the text (Misc. Words)

See you next time! Liesbeth XX

Spooktacular Florals: Three Small Skulls

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Hi again from Laurie with another project for the current challenge:  Spooktacular Florals.  I made three ATCs for this, each featuring one of the DOD skulls from the 3 Small Skulls Set of rubber stamps from Lost Coast Designs.  

All three of my backgrounds are scraps of prints I have made for various projects including two Gelli prints and one stenciled print.  On the turquoise one I have used the Bubble Background stamp along both edges, and on the green and red I used the Loopy Background stamp across the whole background.

I stamped each of the three skulls onto white card stock with black ink and cut them out.  I then colored each with brighter shades of Copic Sketch Markers.  I added some bling to the eyes of all three skulls - sequins, flowers, glass pebbles, etc.  I then attached each to one of the three backgrounds I had chosen, two of which include some LCD background stamping.

I hope you will join us for the fun and spooktacular challenge!  Be sure to use some rubber stamping on your projects and you just might win some free stamps!!
