Surprise Potty Mouth!

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!

Greetings! You've got Kathi here today with a slightly twisted off-color card created for March's Make It Funny Challenge 207. I used the Silhouette Lady with Umbrella Rubber Stamp by Lost Coast Designs with the "Peace, Love, Light" Clear Stamp by Carmen's Veranda.

Use Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink to stamp the Silhouette Lady with Umbrella Rubber Stamp onto a piece of patterned paper.

Use Purple Delight VersaFine Clair Ink to stamp the "Peace, Love, Light" Clear Stamp to the right of the Silhouette Lady. Heat set the panel thoroughly, then use a cutting die to cut the image panel.

Create an A6 card from white cardstock. Sponge Purple Delight VersaFine Clair Ink onto the outside .5" perimeter of the card. Heat set.

Adhere the image panel die-cut to finish the card.

You still have a fortnight or so to enter this month's Make It Funny Challenge 207 for a chance to win a fabulous prize.

Poppin In

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!

 

Hello Portal Peeps!!   Gail here poppin' in today with some inspiration for the current Let Us Entertain You challenge.  We want to see your stamped anythings with an entertainment theme, so think anything to do with entertainment.  Juggling dogs, trapeze artist cats, clowns, circus, movie stars, theatre, opera, dancers, TV films etc etc.  The team are posting their awesome makes all month so make sure you check out all the posts on the blog. 

I've used Lost Coast Designs Silhouette Lady with Umbrella, who makes me think of Mary Poppins, and what's more entertaining than a lady flying in on an umbrella.  She has obviously arrived and is standing within the Arches and Door Background.  Then I added the Thinking Of You from the Party Words set. 

You have all month to share your stamped anythings with an entertainment theme. Please read the updated rules before entering. Real rubber or clear stamping and theme must be the focus of your project for a chance to win Lost Coast $$$$$'s. 

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz 

Across The Miles

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!

 

Hello Portal Peeps!  Gail here with a card I made for the Use at Least Three Stamps challenge. 

I used yellow card and stamped Lost Coast Designs Fruitpods Background with Dandelion archival ink, inked the edge and mounted it on a white card base.  I stamped Lost Coast Designs Crackle Background on bright yellow card with Dandelion archival ink, cut a strip an inch wide,inked the edge and stamped Lost Coast Designs Travel Quotes sentiment

'A journey is best measured
in friends rather than Miles'

Then I stamped and fussy cut Lost Coast Designs Silhouette Lady with Umbrella and added her to my card.  Done!!!!  So easy to make pretty with these stamps!
