A Dino Christmas

 Hi Crafty Friends!

It's Tuesday which means it's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations. Today's project is a little off the wall inspired by a request for a little boy's Christmas card I was asked to make. Here it is, my DT project ...

Dinosaurs surely celebrate Christmas too and this little fellow is on his way home in time for Christmas dinner. You can almost hear him whistling and see him skipping with anticipation.

The background is die-cut with a touch of added glitter using the Stitched Winter Landscape and Stitched Snow Hills dies. The sentiment has been made up with a little help from the retired Holiday Artsy set.

Here are the affiliate links to the products I used today:

Dino Things, Baa Baa

Wishing Ewe

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Tuesday and this means it's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations.

My DT piece for this week is a little CAS card ...

I thought I'd make one last Christmas In July card and dug out these adorable sheep.

I stamped the hats first and masked them off before stamping the sheep. They were easily coloured using alcohol makers and finished off with a touch of Stickles. The tiny trees are finishing off the cute look.

My sentiment is finished off on the inside ...

Again, I am keeping it short and sweet today. Pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog to check out the fabulous projects my teamies made.

That's it from me for now. Have a lovely day and enjoy the sunshine!
hugs
Monika

A Sheepish Birthday

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'.

Given that I spent Easter on a farm in Wales, I decided to entertain you with more sheepish delights using the Baa Baa set and the Clouds Stencil to create this fun card ...

I stamped the sheep first and painted them in with Mod Podge as a way of masking. I tend to use this method whenever I want to get a slightly grungy, imperfect look before sponging ink.

It had to be grungy given that we were definitely caravan camping in the mud, they had a lot of rain recently. We even got stuck in the mud and had to be pulled out by the tractor. There is always a first time ...

As mentioned earlier, this week we are showcasing stamps designed by our very own Shirley under her label 'The Bee's Knees'. To mix it up a little, all stamps, stencils and dies - except from the Retiring category- are reduced by 10% this week in the STAMPlorations Shop, no coupon needed. Using my personal discount code STAMPGIRLMONIKA at checkout will give you an added 20% off taking the total discount to 30%. I would love for you to take advantage of this great offer.

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!
