...{Sylvias Stamping Place}...: IMAGINE Crafts + Stampendous Blog Hop

IMAGINE Crafts + Stampendous Blog Hop

on Tuesday, May 20, 2014

Hi everyone and happy Tuesday :)

Welcome to a week of fantastic collaboration between IMAGINE Crafts and Stampendous! We have to admit that our two companies were made for each other and we're proud to have shared a long relationship of working together. After all, what are stamps with out ink? The projects created by our artists this week feature IMAGINE Crafts Radiant Neon™ inks paired perfectly with coordinating colors of Fran•táge Color Fragments from Stampendous, along with some of their newest stamp designs and Stack Art kits.

Prizes galore for participating in the Blog Hop this week!

We'll be giving three prize packages of 3 Radiant Neon inks and 3 Fran•táge Color Fragments (we'll choose your colors). There will be a bright crafting future ahead of you!

Each day we’ll post that day's participating artists. Visit their blog and leave a comment by midnight PST May 25th. We ‘ll randomly select three different blogs from the five days, then randomly draw one commenter from each blog. You must have a U.S. mailing address to win, but we’d love for everyone to hop and comment! You can check out the Official Rules for all our contests if you have questions.

So are you ready for some exciting inspiration?

Here's who is hopping today:

Kazuko Kocho

Jamie Martin

Maureen Cronin

Krissy Fossmeyer

Sylvia Blum (you are here)

Tenia Nelson

Cathy Andronicou

***Blog Hop Hint – if you click on a link that takes you to a page saying something like, “Sorry this page cannot be found,” just click on the header at the top of the blog (usually a picture, or the blog’s name), and it will take you to that blog’s most recent post. That post *should* be our hop. If not, you can probably scroll down a short way to find the hop post.

Ok.... and finally.... here is my project for this hop :)

I hope you like it and feel inspired to get creative with Neons ;-)

Instructions:

Step 1: Cover your workspace with IMAGINE Crafts Craft Mat!

Step 2: Stamp circle ("Mish Mesh" by Stampendous) twice with Radiant Neon Electric Yellow onto white panel.

Step 3: Stamp sentiment ("Cling Follow Art" by Stampendous) with Radiant Neon Electric Pink.

Step 4: Use the dot part of the stencil (which comes as a bonus with the "Mish Mesh" stamp set!) and use an Ink Blusher to pick up some Radiant Neon Electric Blue and randomly apply onto the panel

Step 5: Create top folded 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card base from white cardstock.

Step 6: Apply Creative Medium around the edges of the card front (do NOT let it dry, but continue with Step 7 immediately!)

Step7: Generously pour "Fran•táge Color Fragments Hot Lime" by Stampendous onto the card base front to completely cover the "frame" you've created with the Creative Medium gel in step 5.

Step 8: Lightly press the fragments down with your finger tips, then shake off the excess fragments (and just put it back into the jar for future use)

Step 9: Mount stamped panel onto card base with dimensional foam pads
