Celebrate It: Party On!

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 from Laurie on the last day of April and our last day for this current challenge:  Celebrate It!  So whatever occasion you want to celebrate, now is your chance to make something fancy or fun and post it here on the Portal for a chance to win some free stamps.

This card features the Party On stamp from Lost Coast Designs.   The little party lady was stamped with black ink onto white card stock and fussy cut out.  I colored her with Copic Sketch markers and tried to use some bright colors because she looks like the kind of little old lady who would love bright colors!

My background is made with two different stencils, and I used Distress Oxide spray inks in bright pink and orange for the color.    I first did the flower then the concentric circle stencil on top.  My party gal is affixed with some foam tape to give her a bit of dimension and lift her off the background a bit.

We can't wait to see what you are celebrating right now!!  Be sure to get your submissions in today!

Happy Halloween

Hello, Cathy here with a Halloween card for the Celebrate it challenge. 

Stamps Used:

Frank

License Plate alphabet

I stared out with stamping Frank on white cardstock and coloring him with Copic markers. I then cut him out. 
Next, I stamped the 31 from the apha set on green cardstock and cut them out. Set both cutouts aside and pick out some Halloween paper for the card background. 

I took some molding paste and added some black paint to it and put it through a stencil and added some black embossing powder of top. Set aside to dry. (You really didn't have to tint the paste if you add black embossing powder to it). When dry I heat embossed it and it made it all shinny. 

Lastly, I added my 31 to the bottom and had Frank stand on top of it. I then added a saying.

I hope you join the Challenge here.

Hi, Riet here with my contribution of the celebrations challenge.

The current challenge at Lost Coast designs is so festive.

And I used:

Crackling campfire and Wild honey.

Derwent colorsoft,

Indigo, sea green and lime green.

Brown ink or paint for splashing.

Maskingtape.

Orange fineliner.

How to make the card.

Stamp the Tres cabbaleros with the archival ink,

 and do the same on the card with the stamp from the Pieces of architacture.

Stamp with the stamp of the Pieces of calligraphy here and there.

Mask off the corners.

With the distress oxide wild honey and a blendingtool,

 we color the card from the outside in.

Make sure to leave the center empty.

With the Cracling campfire we do the same,

 but only on the outer side and along the masks.

With the masks on the corner stamps,

 we are now going to splash with the brown paint or ink.

Whatever you prefer, ink or paint.

Remove the masks and color as you like.

Cut out the guys and gleu them on the card.

Color them in the same colors.

Do the same with the words, and scribble with the orange fineliner on the edge.

Welcome again to our  Celebrate It  challenge! 

Today I (Liesbeth) made a celebrating tag, maybe for a present? That Party On woman is so funny! 😂

Onto an alcohol inked glossy background I stamped Party On and the text (Party Words) with black ink. With green and blue ink I stamped the beautiful Black Flourish a several times. I coloured the woman with Distress Markers and made some highlights with a white gel pen. I glued the tag onto yellow and blue cardstock and punched a hole.

There's some time left for you to celebrate with us! Have fun!

Happy Birthday

Hello Portal Peeps!  Gail here today with some inspiration for the Celebrate It Challenge.

Today is my birthday so I made myself a birthday card using my favourite Lost Coast Designs stamps and blue, because I like blue.

I used one of my favorite backgrounds, Lost Coast Designs Fruitpod Background, and the lovely cat from Up Close and Personal.

I stamped the Fruitpod Background using Salty Ocean distress ink which I spritzed with a fine mist of water before I stamped it.  It gives a slightly fuzzy batikk style look. 

I stamped the cat and Happy Birthday sentiment on separate pieces of card and edged with blue ink.  I used blue ink to stamped the cat and gave her some gel pen green eyes.  

I hope you find some time to join the Celebrate It Challenge with your stamped projects for any celebration.  Thanks for dropping by.  I am off to parteeee!!!!!!

Celebrate It! Happy Anniversary Folks

Roni here with another bit of inspiration for our current Challenge #165 Celebrate It!

I love the American Gothic Party image...they are perfect for so many themes but it fits this challenge to a T.  I stamped the couple on a bone shimmery cardstock and then on a piece of teal cardstock. The frame was fussy cut and added on top of the couple image.  I stamped the sentiment from the Party Words set onto a scrap of green pattern paper, matted and was added to the card along with lots of fun bits.  

Hope you all find the time to join in on the fun...you might just be lucky enough to win a gift certificate to Lost Coast Designs/Carmen's Veranda!!

Party On Friends!!
