JUN15VSNMINI1 - Friday, May 8 - 6 pm ET - Paperless Flowers by LuvLee

[LuvLee]

Challenge Title: Paperless Flowers
Hostess: Lee (LuvLee)
Keyword: JUN15VSNMINI1


ETA: I really should have thought this through...you do NOT have to keep to the hour time frame....if you need 2 hours....please feel free!!!! I want this to be fun as well as a challenge!!!!




Are you all HAPPY for the next VSN??? Are you HAPPY to have some stampy time??? Our HAPPY theme has so many varied and fun challenges coming your way!!!



Flowers make me very happy!! Especially my favorite...the columbine!! It's my State flower and I had them in my wedding bouquet!! So my challenge is for you to use a flower or flowers ...... BUT........... here's the twist:

ABC PAPERLESS FLOWERS.....yep that's right....so this won't be a card...it's an ABC challenge.....anything but a card!!!! It doesn't have to be too intimidating I promise! Think about using anything with a flat surface that you can stamp on. Coasters, candles, flower pots, photo frames, material, canvas, wooden embellishments, suede, felt, chipboard, glass, ribbon, acetate, shrinky dink plastic, etc. You have a week to complete the challenge so if you're inspired by an idea of something that you don't have you have time to do a little shopping!

Now before some of you panic, I'll allow a tag or bookmark if you truly aren't able to stamp on anything other than paper.....but just don't make a card! ;) You can stamp the flowers, make ribbon flowers or material ones, paint some flowers, be creative! Here's my project:





I bought this tiny easel set at Michael's and stamped my beloved columbine from one of my favorite Gina K sets. I stamped it in StazOn and then used my Copics to "faux paint" keeping it a little blurred to look more watercolor-like. I think it looks fun for little hostess gift or pick-me-up. Now off you go....have fun with this!

Really great challenge, Lee!

I finally got to try out Stazon Ink! Works like a charm!

Not that happy with this one, just getting the feel of the ink! Have lots of these containers around due to my grandchildren loving those little munchies!!

Here is Graduates Flower Puff!

Stars are masculine flowers, right??? Somehow, I missed the fact that it was "flowers" & only caught the "no paper" part.

Anyway, my boys will use the ones I made as trades with other archers at competitive archery events. I put a pin back on this.

I missed that this was yesterday, but saw that Lydia posted on Facebook. Busy day but I WILL stamp OUT OF MY BOX later! Thanks for the challenge and for being hostess!

[sunstamper]

Here is my Paperless Flower creation. Cute and functional too!

[Cards are me]

Lee, what a wonderful way to make me think outside the box. I know exactly what I am going to stamp.

I used a acrylic ATC to stamp on: Joy ATC

Here's my first sample for this interesting challenge. I am really not a 3D girl, so pretty excited that I came up with something! Thanks.

I guess I should have entered my second sample in the box above, wasn't thinking I guess. I also found this pre-made box in the same drawer as the tiles, so here's my second entry.

I have to come up with a quicker idea for this!! Anything I've thought of so far would take too long . There are some fabulous projects in the gallery, I've just peeked in a quest for inspiration.

[scootsv]

Well I did it! At least I tried!

[Cook22]

Thanks for the time extension, Lee .
I should be able to do plan A in the 2-hour slot no problem!!

[Cook22]

And here it is! I like making ABAC projects but struggle to ever use them and many just end up faded and tossed. But I'll use this when gift-wrapping a present later this summer.

It might have come under an hour if I'd really focussed on it, it's definitely less than two because I haven't finished my mod shift quite yet ;-).

[LuvLee]

You all are seriously making some AMAZING creations!!!!!

[Covington Crafter]

Thank you Lee for the encouragement to try something new! Here is my journal cover. Nature Journal Cover by Covington Crafter - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

If one can do bookmarks and atcs, I did a scrap page. Tell me if you want me to take it out, but it is anything but a card.
