Angels without Wings

Hi Friends!

Another week and another helping of lovely projects over at STAMPlorations in the Inspiration Post over on their blog. Here is my DT contributions ...

I created my background using the Circles Flexi-Template in combination with the Winter Flowers stencil, stamped my sentiment and added some golden splatters. The sentiment was stamped at an angle to make it part of the little angel image.

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

Christmas Angel, Beautiful Friends

 

Circles Flexi-Template, Winter Flowers Stencil

Hi Friends!

Sharing a card today made for the AAA Cards Challenge ...



I love making quick cards and decided on a slimline design for my entry using kraft cardstock for my card base.

The angel has been die-cut twice and layered with the wings not fully attached for a bit of added dimension. I used one of the mixed media stamps stamped with Brick Red Prism ink to decorate the angel's dress. I sprinkled a little snowflake embossing powder on and partially embossed it, again for a little bit more interest.

I am entering at:

Hi Friends!

It's Tuesday which means it's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations. Here is my DT project ...

This was probably one of the quickest cards I've ever made thanks to the new Quick Card Kits of pre-printed cards fronts.

All I had to do was to add the angel, my stamped sentiments plus doodles, sequins and a little bit of glitter on the angel's hair to finish off.

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

Hello Crafty Friends!

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

This week I am showcasing another one of Sanna's new stencils in combination with a sticker sentiment and a die-cut angel.

The Christmas Angel was die-cut from shrink plastic and heated to reduce its size. I decided to leave it transparent rather than adding a little colour before heating.

The sticker is on white card layered on glitter card to leave a narrow border. Keeping the stencilling to the center with a white border either side seemingly adds another layer.

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.

More Christmas Makes

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations. This week my teamies and I are showcasing stamps designed by STAMPlorations owner Shery under her label 'Shery Russ Designs'.

I have a couple of cards for you today, For my first one, I decided to work with the Joy To The World and Winter Chill stamp sets in combination with the Christmas Angel Die and a little bit of help from two of Shirley's sets, Three Kings and Christmas Reindeer, for the star cluster and the small snowflake. Here it is ...

It's been pretty straight forward stamping and die-cutting with a little bit of a blended background.

I had these large shaped cards for quite a while and decided that I had to start using them up. I don't normally make large cards, but I love using the Christmas Angel with the Joy To The World stamp. The two are just made for each other and they needed some space.

Next up is a card using the Christmas In The Heart stamp ....

It is simply stamped and then die-cut using a set of nesting dies from my stash. I did the die-cutting all at once and then pieced it all back together.

STAMPlorations have a special Thanksgiving Offer with the Thanksgiving Blog Hop And Wishlist Linky Party ending later this week. There are still a few days to join the fun.

There is a special offer coupon code BIGTHANKS which can be used once per customer/shipping address for a whopping 40% discount. This offer excludes products from the New Release and Retiring category, Coloring Books and Gift Certificates.

The BIGTHANKS coupon code cannot be combined with any other coupon codes you might have.

Should you wish to purchase products from the New Release category you can always use my personal discount code STAMPGIRLMONIKA at checkout for a 20% discount. This code can be used more than once and works on sale items too, but cannot be combined with any other discount code.

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!
