Moo Cows & 4th Birthdays!

StampNation opened on January 11, 2011.  Yep!  That means our FOURTH birthday is coming up in less than 2 weeks!  Wooohooo!  We celebrate birthdays in a big way, so you are in for some serious awesomeness.  A week full of challenges, videos, prizes and surprises from our fabulous sponsors at Simon Says Stamp, Verve and Whimsy.  Wow right?

It’s Wednesday so time for a new challenge over at StampNation!  This week it’s an obvious challenge… create a New Year’s card.  Here’s a sneak of all the Dream Team creations…

And here’s my personal card sneak peek…

I also decided that I was going to make another New Year’s themed card using the sketch from Splitcoaststampers today.  I featured the sweet little cow fella from the Simon Says Stamp “Birthday Farm Animals” stamp set.  I cut out his little “Have a Moo-tiful Birthday!” greeting from his banner and wrote in my own… 

I added some Sakura Glaze pen to his eyes and some clear Wink of Stella to his banner. 

Here’s a peek at this week’s sketch at Splitcoast…

 

StampNation is an incredible source of learning, inspiration and KNOWLEDGE.  Come and find out what we’re all about!

Wishing you all a very prosperous 2015...
