Drunken Stampers Lose Their Stamps!

Pin It

We know. We feel bad about it, too. How in the world could a team that calls itself "Drunken Stampers" possibly lose all their stamps?! I blame the egg nog, personally. Or, it could've been the hot buttered rum. Either way, it's a good excuse to host a new challenge called, "No Stamps for You!"

This little stamp-free card was made by pouncing a blue Brilliance Dewdrop pad directly onto white card stock, adding some snowflake-patterened paper and a cute Artchix collage sheet image, and finishing with Dymo tape and a few little stick-on gems. Pretty darn easy and fast, actually!

The thing about not allowing yourself to use any stamps is, you end up trying things you haven't done before. Cheers to that!

Our No Stamps for You challenge is open until 11:59 pm next Friday, November 26 at the Drunken Stampers Challenge Blog. Come on over and join the party!

Great card. Love that picture. And the blue and white is so pretty. Drunken Stampers makes me laugh every time I see it. And it makes me want a glass of wine. Hmmmmmm.

Whew, so pretty! Your sepia image goes beautifully with the blues in the background!

I do wish one thing though ... I wish you and Lynn would quit showing off such neat stuff: Between being introduced to Tim Holtz, ArtChix, AlphaStamps and Firecracker Designs I'm soon going to have to sell something old to get the new ... :)

No stamping on cards can be so fun and your's definitely goes in the "fun" category! The mat with torn edges really gives it an "old-fashion" feel and makes the picture pop!

Too lose our stamps for real would just be, well, a crime! But there are alternatives, and you did a fabulous job!
