Christmas Inspiration

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations. This week my teamies and I are showcasing stamps by our very own Shirley under her label 'The Bee's Knees'.

I decided to work with the Layered Holly and little bit of help from the Christmas Blessings Phrase Die and the Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies to create today's inspiration piece. Here it is ...


I had this idea of a non-traditional card with pink holly berries and a pigment powder background hence I started off sprinkling some infusion powders on a piece of white card and spritzed them with water.

Once dry, I stamped the holly leaves, heat embossed the berries and stamped an outline in bright pink. For the frame I simply used the smallest of the nesting dies and cut out the inside with my ruler and craft knife. All that was left to add was the sentiment and a couple of bright pink metal dots.


As mentioned earlier, this week we are showcasing stamps designed by our very own Shirley under her label 'The Bee's Knees'. All her sets will be reduced by 10% from today, 2nd October, until Monday 8th October 2018, no coupon needed. If you fancy an added 20% off, feel free to use my personal discount code STAMPGIRLMONIKA at checkout when shopping for STAMPlorations Stamps, Dies and Stencils.

Of course Shery will still draw a winner at random from all the comments left on this month's Inspiration Posts over on the STAMPlorations Blog. Pop over to see what my teamies created and to leave a comment for your entry into their prize draw.

That's it from me for today. Have a lovely week!
