Sweet Birthday

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Tuesday and this means it's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations.  Here is today's DT project ...


Again I used a stencil print as backdrop this time for a set of cupcakes making this sweet little birthday card.


The new STAMPlorations Store is fully open now, it's got an easy search facility. Why not pop over and have a little browse.

Should you find yourself placing an order, feel free to use my personal discount code STAMPGIRLMONIKA at checkout for a 20% discount on your order. Please note that my discount code can not be combined with any other coupon code, but you can use it as often as you wish. I've got to be honest, if you use the code and/or the link to the STAMPlorations Shop I provide in my posts for your purchases, I will get a little reward.

That's it from me for today. Pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog to check out my teamies' beautiful makes.

Hope you're having a lovely week!

Too Much Happy

Hello Crafty Friends!

I am back with another stencil print background card ...


I took a print from the Lemony Wedges stencil a while ago when making another card. Today I simply added the bold sentiment, a big grin and some gems to complete my card.

Giving you a little heads up, STAMPlorations are in the process of opening their new store. The Digital Stamps and Outlet section are already open and the main store will be ready for you to browse on July 1.
They are all under one roof and you can find the new STAMPlorations Store here. This link is an affiliate link, and I'll get a little reward, if you use it for your purchases. You can still use my personal discount code STAMPGIRLMONIKA in their main and digital stores. The code won't work in their outlet store as products are already heavily discounted and it can't be used in combination with any other discount code.


Leaving you with a happy smile, hope you're having a lovely weekend!

A Fresh Beginning

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Tuesday and this means it's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations.  I am loving the Typographia sets in combination with a stencil print background ...


I took a print from the Arrow Which Way stencil which I had used in last week's project. It was still sitting on my desk wanting to be used.

With the new STAMPlorations Store being already partially open, the Outlet and Digital section are already up and running, I picked one of the Typographia stamps that are available in the Outlet Store, where retiring, clearance and overstock products are reduced by up to 80%. If you want to say it boldly, they make for really striking cards.

All I needed to do was to stamp my sentiment into position, layer on my base card and finish off with a couple of tiny floral embellishments.

A Roaming Birthday

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Tuesday and this means it's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations.  I thought I'd share another birthday card, this time one with a more masculine feel ...


The Arrow Which Way stencil felt like a good background to use with the walking boots and my general born to roam theme. I sponged it in Tempting Turquoise before adding the background stamping in Pacific point and a little black Versafine using stamps from the Mixed Media Grunge and Born To Roam sets.

The boots were watercoloured and fuzzy cut.

Celebration Balloons

Hello Crafty Friends!
Just a little reminder that there is still time to play at the June challenges over at STAMPlorations. Here is a little more inspiration for their Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge ...


The theme for the current challenge is Stamps & Confetti and the photo prompt can be seen below. Your project can either be inspired by the theme, photo prompt or both. The full challenge rules can be found here on the STAMPlorations Blog.


My inspirations am from both the theme and photo both of which were asking for a shaker card. What better way to incorporate confetti ... The greens and orange hues from the photo provided me with the inspiration fro my colour scheme.


As for the prizes:
Two winners, one of a $15 gift certificate and one of a $10 gift certificate, will be picked by one member of our DT.
Plus 3 randomly drawn winners will each receive a $5 gift certificate.

In order to be considered for a prize, make sure you've followed the rules here.

Pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog to check out how my teamies interpreted the challenge theme and prompt and of course to join in the fun too. More challenge inspiration can be found in the June Challenges Reminder post here on the STAMPlorations Blog.

That's it from me for now. Have a lovely day!

Stencilled Leaves

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Tuesday and this means it's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations.
I thought I'd share another card using Gelatos and die-cuts ...


This time I used the negative from die-cutting the leaves I used for my Spotlight Project here. I applied the Metallic <int Gelato to the die-cut strip and rubbed it into the leave shapes. I started with the right hand leaves and then moved the strip across without having to apply more Gelato. That's how I got the ombre shading.


I finished off with lime green splatters, stamped sentiment and sequin.
