A Latte Joy

Hello Crafty Friends!
It's Tuesday and this means it's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations. Here is today's DT project giving you a sneak pre-view of the soon to be release Holiday Feels Mocha stamp set which is currently on pre-order ...

The sentiments fit really nicely into the cup. I roughly watercoloured my image, popped it on a die-cut pierced curly label, stamped my sentiment, added some white gel pen highlights and a black doodled frame to finish.

The label itself has a Brusho and PaperSrtsy Infusion background with a little Iridescent Gold Brusho SprinkleIT. Sadly the photo doesn't pick up the golden shimmer which is really nice in real life. Might have to try using it on photo paper/card, maybe it will work better on that, hmmm ...

Each month STAMPlorations are having a different promotion. This month they're offering 10% off throughout all three of their stores, no coupon needed. You can check out the full details of STAMPlorations' special offers here on their shop's Promotions Page. 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!

More Flexi-Template Makes

 Hi Crafty Friends!

Yesterday I had a Facebook Live, seemingly a little unprepared and distracted by the looks of it. Hubby and I had been out for a walk and forgotten to check the time. I got back late and didn't get my 5 minutes to catch my breath beforehand ... all that after a The Wide Awake Club kept me from sleeping ... I probably didn't do too badly.

Anyway, here are the three projects from the live crafting hour ...

This stylised Christmas Tree card uses the Ovals Flexi-Template in combination with Verveine, Menthe and Emeraude Izink inks. The sentiment is from a retired STAMPlorations set called Holiday Artsy.

My bauble card uses the Circles Flexi-Template, stamps from the Mixed Media Elements set in combination with Aurore, Miel and Cerise Izink inks. The sentiment is the same as the one in my previous card.

The glitter paper and smowflake Xcut die are from docrafts.

My last card uses the Squares Flexi-Template, the circle border stamp from the Art Marks stamp set and a sentiment from the Little Love Birthday Wishes stamp set in combination with Aurore, Cerise and Cassis Izink inks.

If you fancy to look at my crafty ramblings, click to check out my video on Facebook.

I shall leave you with a few close-ups ...

That's it from me for today.

Have a lovely weekend!

Belated 7th Birthday Celebrations at STAMPlorations - Day 5

 Hi Crafty Friends!

Welcome to Day 5 of STAMPlorations Belated 7th Birthday Celebrations. It's an opportunity to showcase some of their newer products too.

Today I am putting the focus on two of my Flexi-Templates, the Triangles and the Squares. Have a look on how I used them ...

For my first card, I created a random pattern using the Triangles Flexi-Template. I sponged a piece of card with yellow (Daffodil Delight SU ink), attached the small triangle as mask and sponged with orange {Cire Izink ink). Leaving the small triangle in place, I attached another triangle and  lightly sponged with The Izink ink. I added anothe triangle and sponged a little more with the same ink. I finished off with a stamped sentiment and chevron stickers.

The next card uses the Squares Flexi-Template assembled to form a stencil.

I arranged the squares as shown in the photo below to create my stencil and used it to sponge my stripes.

A sentiment from Big Greetings finishes my card off.

Belated 7th Birthday Celebrations at STAMPlorations - Day 4

Hi Crafty Friends!

Welcome to Day 4 of STAMPlorations Belated 7th Birthday Celebrations. It's an opportunity to showcase some of their newer products too.

Today I am putting the focus on the two new Texture Cover Plate Dies, Circles All Over and Wonky Stitched Grid. Have a look on how I used them ... 

My first card combines the Circles All Over Texture Cover Plate Die with a die-cut Christmas Tree #1 and a Simple Christmas sticker sentiment. The Christmas tree is actually cut from slightly glittery card, sadly it doesn't show up in the photo.

My next card uses the Wonky Stitched Grid Texture Cover Plate Die in combination with the Rectangles Flex-Templates and the Kathryn And Christmas stamp set ...

I arranged the Rectangles Flexi-Template in the same way as I arranged the Squares in the photo below before sponging the stripes for my tree.

I sprinkled the stripes lightly with silver, gold and clear embossing powder to heat emboss for a more textured look. To finish I added a fuzzy cut Kathryn, bells, presents and sentiment.

Belated 7th Birthday Celebrations at STAMPlorations - Day 3

Hi Crafty Friends!

Welcome to Day 3 of STAMPlorations Belated 7th Birthday Celebrations. It's an opportunity to showcase some of their newer products too.

Today I am putting the focus on The new Bloomfully: Kindness stamp set and the Circles and Ovals Flexi-Templates. Have a look on how I used them ... 

I arranged the Circle Flexi-Templates as shown and attached them with repositionable tape before sponging the background and spritzing with water.

To finish I stamped the flowers in place and added the sentiment.

Next up is a card using the Ovals Flexi-Templates with the Bloomfully: Kindness set.

I finished my card off with the stamped florals, sentiment and a couple of sequins.
