STAMPlorations 13th birthday celebrations

Hi Everyone, it's a very special day today...STAMPlorations turns 13! 

And it's "especially" special as Shery missed 3 birthdays while she was undergoing her cancer treatment. So let's hang out the bunting, get out the fizz and celebrate this amazing milestone. This runs from today until Friday.

Head over to the STAMPlorations blog here  to see all of today's gorgeous team projects. Leave a comment letting us know which of the new featured products is your absolute favourite for a chance to win it! 🎂🎉"

 To celebrate 13 years, shipping is FREE on all US orders of $25 or more this week only – and you'll get the Freebie of the Month automatically included in your order! Happy shopping! 🛍️✨"

There are lots of prizes to grab so do check out the details over on the STAMP blog here. 

There are also some fab new products on the STAMPlorations website and I made 7 cards to showcase some of them. 

These are my first 4 and will share the last 3 on Friday.

These are 2 cards using one of the new Pocket backdrops. I used the Floral #1 pack for both the backgrounds. The cupcake is from  the Big cupcakes colourables set, such fun and so easy to colour and peeping out behind is a piece from the Floral parade cut-out ephemera which you will find here

My 2nd card also uses a Colourable but this one is from the pack called Big Birthday cakes I teamed it with 2 butterflies from the Fluttery stamp set and a sentiment from the Say it big, enough set  . Again I have tucked a piece from the Floral parade cut-out ephemera behind the sentiment which you will find here

For card number 3 I used one of the brand new face stencils called Profile 1 with distress inks. I paired it with a sentiment stamp from Romantic expressions 1

My final card uses a sentiment from the new Floral magic stickers stickers and a gorgeous image from the new Flowers and coffee focal fronts available here. The background is a sheet of my favourite Faded botanicals collage paper.

Do check out how to join in with the STAMPlorations party over on the blog here. It would be lovely for Shery to feel all the love we are sending her. I will be back to share my final 3 makes for the end of the celebrations on Friday. Remember that you can join in with the fun no matter which country you live in, the more the merrier!

I am a part of the Day 2 team and I am showcasing some of the great new products on the website. Shery has 3 fab bundles on sale and I worked with this one #2  Mine contains

One of the gorgeous new floral stamps;

Blossom sprays #5

One of the terrific sentiment stamp sets;

A fab funky new edge die 

Art border die #2

and one of the clever new design blox;

Design blox #6

For the moment all 3 new bundles are available for just  $26.60 and if you live within the USA shipping is free. Take a look here at the offer on the website. 

I used my gorgeous bundle to make 2 cards;

Card 1; This is what I got up to; For my first make I used one of my distress ink shaving foam marbled backgrounds from my stash. I stamped the lovely flower and sentiment and coloured the flowers using my Zig markers.

I also stamped the blooms only on some inky mop up card and used these to decoupage a couple of the bloom heads.

I then stamped the sentiment in place.  I also die cut some blue card using the cool new die and added it for a little edging. For a final touch I added some accents using glitter pens and a bow.

Here is my finished card;

with a couple of close ups;

and one final shot.

Card 2; For my second make I used another of my marbled backgrounds. I used the striped square from the design blox and added some distress ink. I repeated this over the background 

and then cut 4 squares out. I did one extra in case I needed it.

I stamped the celebrate you from the "See the good set" plus make a wish onto 2 of the squares and also 3 cupcakes from the Birthday bash stamp set onto inky mop up card. I cut the cupcakes out and added a little glitter pen as frosting.

I put the 4 squares together matching up the pattern onto pink card.

and stuck the cupcakes in place. 

I added some sequins as finishing touches. Here is my finished card

with a couple of close ups;

and one final shot.

I really hope I have inspired you to treat yourself to this gorgeous bundle (and a one of the older sets which is one of my favourites, who doesn't love cupcakes!). They really are a joy to use.

Before I go I just want to mention that FeedBurner are removing their "follow by email" function from Blogger at the end of the month. I have removed it from my side bar already. I have over 1,000 existing lovely email subscribers who I would hate to loose. If you have a Blogger account and currently get notifications by email of my new blog posts I would love if you would just hit my "follow" button on my side bar. My posts will then show up in your reader list feed. Otherwise if you follow me on Instagram, this is me here; or you can find me as @jane.tyrrell I will always mention there which of my posts are blogged. Thanks so much for all your support, Jx
