Heartful Of Thanks

Hello Crafty Friends!

Continuing the Birthday Celebrations over at STAMPlorations, I've chosen a more colourful theme for this week's Inspiration Post DT project, I made a little Thank You card to send to my niece in Germany who has asked us to save the date for her wedding next year. Here it is ...

I went for the heart chakra colours of green and pink and used the dots from the Layered Snowman set to stamp the dotty background. The heart was cut from various scraps of pink and layered with some more tiny hearts providing the embellishments.

As you can see, I am not much of a bokeh stamper, but I hope you get the idea.

STAMPlorations, Shery's little company, is celebrating its 6th birthday this month, and to mark the occasion Shery will draw 6 winners of a $25 gift code each from all the comments left on the Inspirations Posts on the STAMPlorations Blog and the participating designers' blogs, you can find the links for this week here.

STAMPlorations Stamp Release Day 2

Hello Crafty Friends!

Welcome to Day 2 of the new stamp release Blog Hop over at STAMPlorations. They are introducing a new set of Layering Stamps designed by Shirley under her label The Bee's Knees. Today my teamies and I are showcasing Layered Snowman, a set of versatile solid and outline stamps which can be used all year 'round. Here is my DT piece ...

Amazing what googly eyes, a bit of bling and some organza ribbon can do ... things you find when rooting through your stash. 😀
This card was inspired by the one I posted about on Tuesday and when I saw the googly eyes with lashes. I just had to make a wedding card.
The large solid stamped was only inked around the edges with 1st generation stamping being used for Mr and 2nd generation for Mrs. Of course one can always adapt this too for Mr&Mr and Mrs&Mrs ...

Back to the hop, there are three sets in this release, and I had much fun playing with them. Here they are:

It's Snowtime!

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'.

I decided to work with one of Shirle's new sets due to be released this week. The set is called Layered Snowman and is perfect for creating cute characters and more. Here is my Cabaret inspired card ...

It's pretty straight forward stamping with the large solid 'circle' being lightly inked on the outsided edges only. The coal 'teeth' were used as a hint of clothing, maybe a bow tie and the googly eyes to add some character.

As mentioned earlier, this week we are showcasing stamps designed by our very own Shirley under her label 'The Bee's Knees'. All her sets will be reduced by 15% for the week until Monday 13th November apart from the new Layering Stamp sets from the release which will be 5% off. You can get an added 20% off by using my personal discount code STAMPGIRLMONIKA at checkout.

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!
