Hello Crafters!
Finally is friday...this week has been a mess at work, too busy and my head hurt almost every evening, so I am really happy that the weekend is just around the corner!

Today's post is a quick reminder that over the blog of Craft Stamper we have a new challange!
This monthly theme is ANYTHING GOES, as long as it has at least one real stamp...this mean that digital stamps are not accepted for this time.

For this reminded I created a Layout using stamps as the main part of the background!
Stamps are from Prima Marketing, while the colors I used for the background are from the Ayeeda Paint collection.


I used few elements to decorate the page since the stamp I used for the background is already "full"


I also used few different size of sequins to add some shine and lights...


And here is the completed layout...it is not the usual 12x12 layout and the journaling is hidden behind the tag.


This month's sponsor is STAMPlorations , they were so kind and generous to give us a stamp set and two stencils as prizes....but...this is not everything! They also give us a coupon !
Infact if you put the code " CSTAKEITMAKEIT " you will get FREE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING!



So what are you waiting for?? Join our challange and enjoy shopping!


I hope you will like the result, as always for any comments, questions, suggestions etc etc please leave a comment HERE !

Stay happy, stay creative! Till next time, xoxo!

Hello Crafters!
As every first friday of the month, we have a brand new challange over the Craft Stamper Blog!
Theme of this month is free, any stamped image! This mean that you can create anything your mind is inspired to, as long as it contains at least ONE STAMPED IMAGE (no digital stamp allowed this time)

I created this Art Journal page with some really bright colors!


I used a script stamp all over the background to add some interest and the sentiment "you are enough" is stamped by using a really old alphabet stamp that was used for stamping addresses over mail post. It is really vintage but still works well!


Here's few details...

Hello everyone!
Today is the first friday of the month, and as each month, this means a brand new challange over Take it Make it Design -- challange blog of Craft Stampers Magazine.

For the August Challenge, we would like to to use your pens and pencils on your projects! You could draw or sketch a design, or use the pens and pencils for colouring. Copics, Distress Markers, Spectrum Noirs, watercolour pencils, paint pens and markers, whatever floats your boat! You could add detail with fine liner pens, gel pens or smudgy Stabilo pencil..... the only limit is your imagination! Remember though, there MUST be real stamping on your project. Digital images CAN be used, but must be used alongside  rubber/acrylic stamping. Have fun!

I created this JUMBO super colored tag!

Hello Crafters!
Here we are with the Challange Reminder for Take it Make it, Challange blog of Craft Stamper Magazine! 

As stated in this post , this month theme is : 'TAKE A STAMP - ANYTHING GOES' . 
This mean the theme is super duper easy, fun and gives you a lot of space to run with your fantasy! Anything goes as long as it has at least ONE stamped image -- this mean NO DIGI stamp.

In today's card, I used a really beautiful stamp from Scrapberry's.  I love the sentiment because it is one of the motto I go by.

For the background I used Dylusions Spray and a stencil form TCW. I used Calypso Teal and Vibrant Turquoise, and then I added few drops of Fresh Lime to add some interest to the background. 
Once it was dry well, I reused the stencil and applied 3D Clear Gel.

I stamped the Hot Air Balloon with Archival Ink Black and then i colored it with Distress Markers.

Hello Crafters!

With the new year some things are changing over CS Take it Make it,  challange blog della Craft Stampers Magazine .  
There will be a small surprise this month but I can't tell you what just yet, so please stay tuned in the next days!
The theme for this monthly challange is really easy, title is :  "Take A Stamp : Any Stamped Creation" , so all you have to do is create something, anything, as long as it has a stamp as main focus! And please make sure it is a STAMPed image and not a digital stamp!

I made this birthday card, for the background I used watercolors and I applied 3D gel through a stencil. Then I took another piece of cardstock and with the same color i used in the background I colored the cardstock. I then stamped over the balloon and I fussy cut them out.
I glued the balloon to the background using foam adhesive and I also wrapped a thread around the ballon to make it look like a real one. 
The sentiment also is a stamped image with archival ink.

Hello Crafter!!!
For this month challange over Craft Stamper Magazine, we decided to play a bit and to use NOT Christmas stamps to make something that is Christmas related!
I have to admit that for me it was not that easy, since most of my stamps do not really have shapes -- or shapes that i can reuse for a different purpose....so I had to dig a lot down the pile of stamps and...ta-da! I made a funny and simple Reindeer face!

To create the Reindeer face I used a geo-tag stamp by Amy Tangerine and I used Hero Arts stamp to create the antennas! (Is antennas how you call them? ahh to lazy to google, I am use you get what I mean eheh) .. Since I didn't want to use ANY Christmas stamps, I decided to use a simple alphabet set to stamp my sentiment and I stamped 25Dec.



The result is a really easy and fun card!
Head over the blog  to get inspired by what our team made , especially Trish  -- she made an outstading Christmas Fairy!!

This month sponsor is The Artistic Stamper that kindly offered to the winner an amazing stamp set!
To take part of this challange is really easy: you must use NON Christmas stamp to create any kind of project that is Christmas related! So....bring on your fantasy and have fun!!!

I hope you will like the result, as always for any comments, questions, suggestions etc etc please leave a comment HERE !

Till next time, xoxo!
