Celebrate Big

Hi Friends!

Hope you had a lovely Christmas. Here is today's project, my DT piece for the Inspiration Post over on the STAMPlorations blog ...

A nice cupcake is always a good reason to celebrate ... and I'm sure Chikoo agrees. I've mainly done some die-cutting for today's card and a bit of heat embossing for my stamped character.

Here are the STAMPlorations products I used in today's card:

Cupcake Builder #1 Dies, Cupcake Builder #2 Dies, Trendy Spring Blooms Dies, Circles All Over Texture Cover Plate Die

   

Celebrate Big Phrase Die, Chikoo Goes Bananas

Merry Christmas

Hi Friends!

Just a quick post today sharing my DT piece for the Inspiration Post over on the STAMPlorations blog ...

Still busy swapping the house around ... mind you ... packing up and moving would have been less hassle. Anyway, it should all be sorted by Christmas. Our new bed is being delivered today, Tuesday, after that I should be finally able to get things straight again. Phew!

Today's card is a classing quick layout using a bit of die-cutting and a punched star from my stash. What's adding interest is that the silver card has a bit of green shimmering glitter in it which sparkles nicely when it hits the light.

Here are the STAMPlorations products I used in today's card:

Stitched Winter Landscape Die, Merry Christmas Phrase Die

You Are Awesome

Hi Friends!

Just a quick post today sharing my DT piece for the Inspiration Post over on the STAMPlorations blog ...

I've taken a break from Christmas crafting and took my Ovals Flexi-Template out to give it a little play time.

You can see in my post here how I aligned the ovals to sponge my frame. Of course the florals were stamped first and masked off. I finished off with a bit of script stamping, a partially stamped and die-cut sentiment and a couple of sequins.

Here are the STAMPlorations products I used in today's card:

Bloomfully Kindness, Hashtag Authentic, Mixed Media Elements, Ovals Flexi-Template

Another Year Older

Hi Friends!

Just a quick post today sharing my DT piece for the Inspiration Post over on the STAMPlorations blog ...

I'm running really late with re-organising my craft space. It's taking much longer than I thought.

These sweet little owls were perfect for a quick one-layer card and to get me out of a sticky spot. I simply used the reverse of the owl stamp to stamp the blocks of colour onto which the owl was stamped. I finished off with a tough of glitter on the wings and a couple of rounded corners.

Here are the STAMPlorations products I used in today's card:

Big Owls

December Theme & Photo Prompt

Hi Friends!

It's December and it's time for a new round of monthly challenges over at STAMPlorations. Here is my DT piece for December's Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge over on their blog.

The theme for the current challenge is Stamps & Candles 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.

The photo and theme are simply saying Christmas. That's what I went with.

The background got embossed using the Christmas Tree 1 stencil to represent the pine twigs from the photo prompt. The candle from Christmas Joy was stamped on one of the coordinating laser cut shapes and coloured with watercolour pencils and finished off with a touch of glitter glue.

As for the Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge prizes:
One winner of a $20 gift code ($25, if STAMPlorations products were used as the main focal point) will be picked by one member of our DT.
Plus 2 randomly drawn winners will each receive a $10 ($15, if STAMPlorations products were used as the main focal point) gift code.

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

These are the STAMPlorations products I used in today's card:

Christmas Joy, Christmas Joy Laser Cut Shapes, Christmas Tree 1 Stencil

  

Season's Greetings Phrase Die, Pierced Curly Frames/Tags Nesting Dies
