Default FS 486 {5/29/16} No Smudges Here!

Our Featured Stamper for this week is Melanie aka StitchesandSmudges - I looked and looked in her gallery and didn't see any smudges at all, just a ton of inspiration! Congratulations, Melanie!


Melanie come on down and grab your badge:





This is my Card based on Melanie's pretty butterfly card found HERE

FS486 Gallery Submissions


Keyword: FS486

Did you know, we have a Featured Stamper Pinterest Board?

HOW DO I PLAY?:

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!

Melanie you have a fab gallery -- and though I probably should have picked two, I chose this one for the layout, and possibly another for the tags...

Smile FS486 Love you to pieces

Congrats Melanie, you have an amazing gallery! I loved your tag within a card- Love You to Pieces- didn't have that stamp, so hand wrote my CAS style card, Julia style! Switched the colors, hand drew the tag outline dots, and added a few extra beads. My puzzle pieces were done this way- couldn't locate the Big Shot, so went old school with a rubber mat, tracing paper, and a purple pencil. Outlined some puzzle pieces onto the tracing paper, then re traced the pieces with dp underneath. Made a pretty good transfer for fussy cutting! Here's my CAS - Love you to pieces

Finally got to dust off (literally) my stamping stuff after getting back from vacation!

Here�s mine:
IC547 FS486 Latte Thanks by IndigosMom - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

I did it for two challenges:

For Featured Stamper FS486 I chose Melanie�s painted with coffee card:Quad Shaker Painted with Coffee - MR by StitchesandSmudges - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

For Inspiration Challenge IC547 (Shake it up)
I chose inspiration A. I didn�t have many good options�decided to go with the coffee cup.

Thanks for looking!
