Lily Flourish with Label

Hello Coasties!

Check out my vintage card that uses the Lily Flourish, Loopy Calligraphy, and Labels Set!   This Flourish is so versatility....... I love it as a background stamp.  I made a series of cards using this stamp and I will be sharing them with you over the next few weeks.

For more pics and instructions, pop over to my blog, Dreaming and Creating.  

See you next time.

Hello My Dear stamper Friends:

HERE BIBIANA...
I am sharing with you today a one layer twilight card that I made using as the focal point  the whimsical "Silhouette Fairy" stamp from "Lost Coast Designs" ...
among other stamps from LCD as well as

I first started by sponging my background.
I  used my neon inks and made this dusk night color background...

I then heat emboss with white powder the "concentric circles" stamp background.
added some feathers at the edges with black ink and embellish the card with some die cuts from Memory Box...\

The word "magic" comes in a set of 3 words: dream, love and magic... great set of "dictionary definition words" to have

a side view...

NOTE: Lost Coast Designs will be next Month in September in Germany and in Norway, so if you live in one of these countries do not forget to stop by and say hello and grab some wonderful stamps...or go to their website and order online.
Remember you can only get these stamps through stamp shows visiting your area or at the online store!!!

Border Stamps and Washi Tape #3

Hello Everyone!
Here is the last in my series of Border stamps with Washi Tape projects.  I used a silver and gray color scheme with the Dragonfly Border Stamp to create this fun yet elegant card.

Love how the dragonflies dance across the card.  See more pics and more info on my blog, Dreaming and Creating.  See you next time with my Words project for the current challenge.

Art Journal page with Manga Goth Girl.

Hi everyone,

As I also love mixed media and art journals I made this Art Journal page to show you our stamps are not for card making only. I used 4 different Lost Coast stamps to create this page.
Of course I used one of the lovely new Manga Goth girl stamps as a focal point. For the background I used a Nellann Roberts stamp mat (which I stamped and then sprayed with some water to get a bit of a grungy look), the domino border and a dictionary "Love" stamp.

I took the picture showing you the spiral bound piece on the left so you can see it's really in my A-5 Art Journal and not on a card. Hope you like it  :) 

Three Faces Note Card

Hi everyone! Leslie here, sharing a super easy (and fun, I tell ya!) note card created with three of the face tiles in the awesome Lost Coast Designs Medium Square Tiles Set. The background is matted on some pretty gold metallic and then red cardstock, and the only embellishments are a ribbon bow and some Gumdrops. I just love how this turned out! ;)

For more details on this note card, please see my blog post at Love To Scrap!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hugs,
Leslie

Border Stamps with Washi Tape #2

Hello Coasties!
I am back with the second of my projects that combine Lost Coast Desings Border Stamps and Washi Tape.   I used the Star Border again on this card.  I chose a gold color pallet and a sparkly twine to make an elegant Congratulations card.  The sentiment is from the Party Words set.

See all the the materials and more pics on my blog here.  I have one more project with Border stamps and Washi tape to share.  I used the Dragonfly Border on that project....  See you soon!

Challenge 3: Words and/ or Letters

Hello Loast Coasters, the first Monday of the new month so a new challenge. But first the winners of the second challenge.

It was sad to see that only 5 creations where linked in. But they where beautiful that made me happy again!

The first winner is Rosie, you may spend for 10 dollar in the webshop of Lost Coast Design:

The second one is Gerda, you may choose a stamp of Lost Coast Design at Creafine:

Congratulations to both of you!

You also can pick up the winner badge to place on your blog, it's made by Leigh: 

And now the new challenge: use words and/ or letters. I love letters and words in my work, it gave something extra's to your art work. For this challenge I used a stamp with words in the coat of the little boy and a dictionary stamp.

I hope that you all will create something, you've got time until the 25th of August 24.00.

I think it's fair that we give the prices when there are 10 or more creations, so come on, look at your stamps and make something beautiful!

Don't forget to use at least one stamp of Lost Coast Design!

Thank you for passing by!
