TGIF Challenges 299 - Birch Wood and Sweet Strawberry

January 14, 2021

Hello friends! This week the TGIF challenges team is playing around with Background stamps. Do you have a favorite? I LOVE background stamps and have so many. I collect them. Lol. My project today features the Birch Wood background stamp.

I’ve stamped the Birch wood in a white ink on Crumb Cake cardstock. The strawberry images are from the Sweet Strawberry stamp and punch bundle.

Tip: See the little flower centers? These were created by 1. coloring each flower center with a Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend. 2. Adding a small dab of fine tip glue adhesive to the flower center. The glue dries hard, clear and raised creating a super fun embellishment.

Play along with us! More inspiration can be found on the TGIF Challenges Blog. Happy Stamping.

You’re a star! I inked up the Sunrays Embossing folder and pressed that ink into the white cardstock, letterpress style. This simple shaker card created with the ‘Shining Stars’ dies. #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #shakercard #cardmakingreels

Some folks try to avoid the frustration of tangled Christmas lights… I say bring it! This card is a tangle of stamps. Over 50 little stamp impressions help turn a blank piece of paper into this! A mess. Haha. #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakingreels #adventlabelstampset

Mini but mIghty! I created this entire backgorund with one tiny stamp. This mini holiday light bulb turned into a cluster of tangled lights with a LOT of stamping. Card created for @stampinfancyfriday October mini but mighty challenge. The little light bulb comes from the 'ADVENT LABELS BUNDLE'. Colors are Poppy Parade, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Soft Sea Foam. #stampinup #cardmaker #adventlabelstampset #christmascard #cardmaking
