For September we want to see your stamped makes featuring Inchies (1" x 1"), Twinchies (2" x 2"), and/or Dominos (2" x 1")  You can make said Inchies, Twinchies or Dominos with real rubber or clear stamping, or you can incorporate these sizes into your project in another way, perhaps chop up your background, or your foreground, cut windows, or maybe make a three dimensional shape, or a tiny album.
Real rubber or clear stamping and the theme must be the focus of your project.  A small stamped sentiment in a sea of die cuts or digi images will not qualify to win the prize and you may be deleted!!!!  Bwahahhaaahaha.

Please read the updated Challenge Rules to ensure your entries qualify to win this month's prize!

You are welcome to play in our Challenges using rubber stamp images from any company but if you use any of our Lost Coast Designs or Carmen's Veranda stamps...we love it when you do...then you could win a bigger prize in our random prize drawing.  All winners get our snazzy Challenge Winner's Badge to proudly display on their blogs!

Round & Round: Bird Collage card

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, welcome to another part of our Round&Round Challenge! Hope I  (Liesbeth) can inspire you to give it a try yourself!

This time I used just one big stamp: Carmen's Veranda Bird Collage Background. I stamped it with black ink onto a round alcohol inked card and used a white gel pen. I glued it onto round cards. Easy!😀




Have a wonderful day!   
LiesbethXX

You Talkin' To ME

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!

 Good morning and a very happy Wednesday. It's Sue here, and I'm sharing my second card for our Tweet This challenge.

I've made this for my cousin (phew that's one male card done and dusted for this year!)


I started by die cutting my top card then stamping and masking my two birds.


Then I inked up the card using distress inks and flicked water.
I stamped the Circles Background on another piece of card, coloured some circles and cut them out.
These are some of my favourite Lost Coast stamps.

To finish off I stuck down the circles and cut a card blank and sewed it all together.
There is still a couple of days to get involved in the challenge so please keep stamping your birds.
Have a wonderful day whatever you are doing, and thanks so much for looking x
