Stamp Simply #101 - Let’s Polka!

Published by notimetostamp at 11:12 pm under Bow Easy, Challenges, Crafty Secrets Projects, Halloween Cards, Journal Notes

OK, the party from last week is over, but we are all still dancing!  We’re doing the polka!!!  Well, not really — but we ARE playing with POLKA DOTS today!!!  So let’s see some polka dotted creations from all of you — that’s it!!!  We’re not fussy – just get some polka dots in somewhere on your project, and the more, the merrier!!!  Have fun doing the Polka!

Keyword ssnotime101 - There is no time limit. You can play this challenge and upload your project at Splitcoast and/or your Blog, anytime at all. You (and that means anyone and everyone, blogger or not!) can play as many times as you like!!! The point is to keep it simple, quick and have fun!!! Please link back here.

Check out the great samples for the Stamp Simply Challenge today on the blogs of these fabulous designers:

Please bear with us all as we each upload and link on Thursday night.  Everyone should be up and set by Friday morning.

You may see all SCS Gallery Submissions here.

And here’s my dotted creation for today:

I *Stamped Simply* for today’s Halloween Card.  As you can see, my only stamped image is the BOO sentiment from Witch Way to the Treats by JustRite.  I used a darling image from Halloween Journal Notes by Crafty Secrets, used 1.5″ Gingham Ribbon as a background element and made a blue Silk Bow on the Bow Easy.  Just a quick and fun card to put together!   My Halloween Paper by Moxxie is something I just got and I can tell I’ll have fun with it — I am carrying it in the Halloween Section of Page 3 of the Stamp Simply Ribbon store in an easy to use 6 x 6 size.

The simply stamped sentiment was cut, matted and framed with my Petite Circle Nestabilities.

This fun and flippy little bow is made of Blue Silk and done on the Bow Easy.

    What a beautiful creation, you have done today. I have always been very scared of using too wide ribbons on my cards, but when you make and use these bows, it always looks fantastic, so I must just go ahead and try it anyway ha ha ha.
    You can sure have some rain from here, if anybody needs more, we´ve had way more than enough as it has been raining day in and day out all summer wexcept about 2 weeks, so we would love to get rid of it now LOL.
    HAve a great week-end everyone.

    Hi Sharon, I decided to play along today because I really like polka dots and bright colored paper. I think my card fits that category.
