The Love Stack - with New Releases!

Hi. I'm excited to have been playing with Birgit Koopsen's brand-new releases over at ArtStacks! Oh my - I'm so in love with the colours!

For this project I decided to focus on the Essential Elements pack. This pack contains tags, shapes, faces, words and much, much more. I decided to make a tag stack, layering three tags on top of each other.

My top tag is the smallest one with "The Love Stack" name on it. You've got "The Love Shack" running around your head now haven't you? Haha. To help separate the colours, I cut out my pieces leaving a thin strip of white around the edges. I love the effect this created. I also left a white strip around the edges of all the tags but it doesn't show up well in the photos.

I continued the love and hearts theme on the second tag.

My last tag continues the same theme. Even the tiny white hearts are from Birgit's pack.

All the papers, including the tags, hearts, circles and words are from Birgit's 'Essential Elements' pack.

You can find Birgit's pack here. 

I had so much fun making these! I hope you get to play with them soon.

Happy creating!

Yippee Ki-Yay!

Hi there! Have you been joining in the challenges over at #seekgathercreate?

Week 2's challenge is to create anything but include a playing card, a hidden message, yellow and a skull. Here's what I came up with.

I started with a playing card from Shana Bebeklis' Full Deck pack at ArtStacks. I added yellow paint and some tissue designs from ArtStacks' Tissue Backgrounds pack. You can find both of these packs here.

I had no skulls at all in my stash so I found one online. The skull image had a bit of a wild west feel to it which made me think of this quote even though it's perhaps more Die Hard than western! I added my secret saying under a stitched flap of paper.

These challenges are really fabulous and make me think outside the square which I like. I hope you can join in. There are prizes to win, including prizes from ArtStacks! You can find the challenge on Instagram at #seekgathercreateFeb2025.

Happy creating!
