Summer Time!

Welcome back to Stamp and Create!

Well, it's Summer Time so that means it's time for a little break.
During the Summer, we will be taking a break from the weekly "Product Spotlights".

There will be some sales here and there and I've decided to keep some of the past Product Spotlight items still on sale so that there are still many discounts available over the summer.

Some items that are still on sale are:
Pirates, Whiff of Joy, SWALK, Charms, Buttons, many Love/Valentine designs, plus many other assorted items throughout the store.

We will be back at least once a week with product updates as they come in or with inspiration posts. Plus we will also continue with the Monthly Challenges.
The current challenge is Summer and can be found here.

There might even be some blog candy, too!!
So make sure to keep coming back to check that out!

Today I have a few cards that I have created over this past week...

Happy stamping and Shopping!

This week our product spotlight over at Stamp and Create is

PIRATES

Lacey is currently out of town so all orders placed from Friday through Monday will ship out on Tuesday.

Here is the design teams inspiration for you using the theme of Pirates, all the stamps are available to purchase in store.

JOY
Joy used the Sweet and Toxic set for her image and the splotchy set for her background from TGF. She colored her hair pink and her outfit gray with copics. She used some May Arts black crocheted ribbon with some faux suede ruffled edge black ribbon over it, hung an anchor charm, added bling everywhere and used a computer generated sentiment.


Heidi used Kraftin' Kimmie Billy Blyth. She also used the Fancy Pants Beach Bum Paper which is fantastic for anything sea related! The map was created using one of the neutral papers in the pack and then stamped with her own map stamp. Stamp and Create also carries Beach Babe, the girly version by Fancy Pants. The tan circle is twine that she wrapped around itself and then added an Anchor Charm. She also used May arts Champagne Netting.



Chris used Kraftin Kimmie Strawberry Pirate for her center step card.  The pirate is colors with copics and framed with a lacey ovals dies from Spellbinders.

Jeanette has used High Hopes Stamps' On Guard Oberto. The button is Basic Grey June Bug and the paper is Cosmo Cricket's Boyfriend 6x6 paper pad.

Vicky
Vicky has used Unregrettable Pirate Life by Sweetpea. Her papers are Kaisercraft Pack your bags, the flower is Basic Grey from the Max and Whiskers range, as are the pearls.

Remember our monthly challenge is Summer and there is still plenty of time to enter.
