Let's Get Decorating!!

Starving Artistamps has done it again!! An innovative stamp set with accompanying sentiments. Who needs to redecorate a family room or master bathroom? Now you can create endless cards and stamped projects...all with a "Trading Spaces" sort of feel! (You know you loved that show back in the day!)

Hopefully, you've just seen Irene's cards. If not, start at the beginning and leave comments on the designers' blogs until the end. Because, one of us has BLOG CANDY; but you don't know who! So...here are my examples...

I love the glitz and glam of this over sized chandelier!! I couldn't add enough bling between the rhinestones, stickles and glitterly EP!

This is one of my favorites! I stamped the window two times come create a door for the pup to sit on. The shutters became the walk way. Aren't Starving Artistamps' images so adaptable!!

To make these stainglass windows more authentic, I embossed several layers of clear embossing powder for a slick and glassy finish.

Another little detail using some flowers from an Easter set!

Know anyone with an anniversary? Make a set of Him and Her chairs!


This wainscotting is awesome...and I am certain that I will be thinking up a few more ideas for it! Love the little details of the switches and outlets!

I'm not a cat lover AT ALL...but what a handsome tiger cat!!
I use watercolor crayons and squished ink pad lids for my coloring needs.

Yes, I handdrew and then carefully cut this "at sign" out. haha. But that was before my mom reminded me that my neighbor has a Cricut! Boy, wish I had thought of that earlier...and that she wasn't out of town! But, I love the challenge of cutting out my own shapes (like the banner on the dog card). Sponging and stickles adds depth and interest to this at sign. Are you "At" home with your loved ones?

Dig out that patterned paper and use with these Vintage Furniture! Doesn't that carpeting look so lifelike? Again, with the magic of a pencil and scissors, I drew out and cut out a TABLECLOTH for this end table. Remember...TRADING SPACES...you gotta mix it up!

Now, just remember, pop up cards are hard to photograph. Esp. late at night after a really bizzaro day! (Hope to reshoot it in daylight.) But this is the front for the following pop up card.


Shazzam...a PUNNY computer generated sentiment to congratulate the receipient. Though, I now need to find out if there is a Congratulations stamp in the Doodlefactory Line and then I need to add it to my next order!
Okay, this is also in my top three of favorites...A CHRISTMAS CARD...using the new stamps. You can snuggle up with your sweetie as your wait for Midnight and Santa!

Note the reversed brad...used for the coocoo clock's hands!!

(Mistletoe...sidewise as Blogger loves to bug me out. Just neck exercises to help you get through the blog hop!)

Now remember, there is a 3 day special from the 8th-10th of July. And boy is it a GREAT one! Buy both the complete collection of stamps and coordinating sentiments and get cling cushion for them FREE. Tracey is just making it TOO easy for you guys. haha. So, again, leave comments and I'll keep my fingers crossed that YOU will be the lucky winner. And now, scamper in a doodlicious fashion off to Jenn's blog to see some more funtastic ideas!
