...there is stamping in Virginia! And no one does it more elegantly than Stamping Virginia & she's the newest Featured Stamper! Virginia Lu, better known as Stamping Virginia has a gorgeous gallery & I know you'll want to take a leisurely stroll and pick a few to make your own. Start your gallery gazing HERE.
Go to the Featured Stamper's gallery and CASE a card, following these simple CASEing Guidelines:
1. Change 2 or more things on the Featured Stamper's project. It could be a color combo, embellishments, backgrounds, or even the main image could be different -- but similar because you don't own the exact image. Please list the changes you made in your description.
2. Give credit to the original stamper and put a link to the original card in your description.
3. Fan Club members may upload today (Sunday). Non-Fan Club members are encouraged to play, but please wait until Monday to upload your creations to give our volunteer moderators a day off. This is so much appreciated.
4. Please note the following regarding Sketch Challenge cards: If you are keeping the same layout but changing most everything else on the featured stamper's card, make sure it isn't a sketch challenge card (SC###). The reason is because it is essentially is a CASE of the sketch since it isn't the Featured Stamper's original idea. Please be sure to check the keywords!
If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us stamping! But please remember...NEW uploads only!
You certainly chose a worthy stamper today Julie - Virginia has a gallery with a feast of colours and designs ... but I changed my case to neutrals! Ha!

Virginia- loved your beautiful gallery! I was inspired by the color scheme of your card- Especially for you at Christmas. Kept the red/green/tan colors, but made it a cardboard/twine get well card. Here's Thoughtful Robin

Oh yay! Virginia has been inspiring me already with her gorgeous florals, watercoloring, amd Simon Says Stamp kits every month. I'm so, so thrilled that she's this week's featured stamper. In fact, she inspired me to get these stamps in the first place, so only fitting to Case (another) one of her bird cards in tribute.
Just loved our FS Virginia's gallery- so I felt inspired to do a 2nd card. This time I took her card- you're amazing- and changed it up to a kite in the air, with a blue and white tail. Added confetti in place of Virginia's larger dots, and did an embossed cloud background. Here's Lovely Clouds

Great gallery, Virginia. Here is my card "Bear Love" very loosely inspired by your "Happy Valentine's Day." I say loosely because my final card looks nothing like I imagined....I love your pastel trees - I just couldn't get mine to look nearly as nice. I found the black and white cardstock that I thought resembles birch trees - so used that. I have a cute birdie I so wanted to use....but just didn't pop with my trees. I had this extra glittered black bear roaming my craft table left over from a previous project - so there it is.
Swoon!!!! Stunning gallery!! Congrats Virginia! I hope to CASE a card soon! Sadly today I have to prep for a 50th birthday celebration for my hubs but your gallery is so inspirational it's tough to step away from my stamping room! I left some love on a few of your cards. Have a fabulous week!
What a colorful gallery of cards. Congrats Virginia, I can see why you're our Featured Stamper. I hope to be able to play this week and CASE one of your lovelies.
I am LOVING everyone's creations! This has been such a fun way to see the inspiration. I am now inspired by YOU!!
