Birthday Balloons

Happy New Year,  Friends!

Hope you celebrated well. Here is today's project, my DT piece for the Inspiration Post over on the STAMPlorations blog ...

Well, my craft space is finally fully up for use again. Whilst doing all the rearranging I found some bits I wanted to use up. These die-cut balloons were some of what I came across.

Rather than turning them into shakers I decided to use them as frames and add colour by stamping encouraging words using spring Meadow, Periwinkle and Pink Jellybean Prism inks.

I added some subtle stars in Jersey Cream Prism ink and a white embossed sentiment to finish.

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

Shaker Balloons #1 Heart Layering Dies, Art Marks, Trendy Birds 2, Layered Watermelon

   

Should you feel like browsing STAMPlorations' shop, check out their latest offer below.

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, at no extra cost to you of course.

That's it from me for today. Pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog to check out my teamies' beautiful makes.

This balloon is a sort of a two-in-one die. Pop back again on Thursday to see what else you can make with it. Until then ... have a lovely day!

Wishing you all the best for 2022.

Too Much Happy

Hello Crafty Friends!

I am back with another stencil print background card ...

I took a print from the Lemony Wedges stencil a while ago when making another card. Today I simply added the bold sentiment, a big grin and some gems to complete my card.

Giving you a little heads up, STAMPlorations are in the process of opening their new store. The Digital Stamps and Outlet section are already open and the main store will be ready for you to browse on July 1.

They are all under one roof and you can find the new STAMPlorations Store here. This link is an affiliate link, and I'll get a little reward, if you use it for your purchases. You can still use my personal discount code STAMPGIRLMONIKA in their main and digital stores. The code won't work in their outlet store as products are already heavily discounted and it can't be used in combination with any other discount code.

Leaving you with a happy smile, hope you're having a lovely weekend!

STAMPlorations Summer Release Day 1

Hello Crafty Friends!

Welcome to Day 1 of the STAMPlorations Summer Release. Today my teamies and I are showcasing a new layering stamp set designed by our very own Shirley. It is really fun and very versatile. Here it is, Layered Watermelon ...

.... and here are my samples ....

The first one is simply stamped with a bit of layering for the sentiment. I kept it simple and slightly grungy using Grenadine, Cassis, Verveine and Menthe Izink inks. For the skin, I simply rolled the Menthe around the edge of my Verveine inked stamp.

Next up is a little bit of fun with googly eyes and die-cutting .....

.... as I was trying to create a little 🐻 face.

Pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog to see the brilliant cards my teamies created using the Layered Watermelon set and, of course, to join the blog hop fun.

This is it from me for today. I shall be back again tomorrow.
Have a lovely day!

Hugs
