Season's Greetings

Hi Crafty Friends!

Sharing another Christmas card using some of my older stash ... have a look ...

Yes, I'm rather liking this dotty circle right now. It came as a set of 3, just not sure where exactly I got it from.

Today's card uses the largest of the three whereas Saturday's and Sunday's cards were featuiring the middle one. It's paired with some snowflakes, the largest being an Xcut die and the two others punches, popped up on a brusho background and finished off with a gem and die-cut sentiment by STAMPlorations.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

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:

December Theme & Photo Prompt Reminder

Hi Crafty Friends!

Just a quick reminder that there is still time to play along at STAMPlorations December Challenges. Here is my reminder DT project for their Theme & Photo Prompt challenge ...

You ca either follow the theme, which this month is Stamps & Shimmer, take inspiration from the photo or incorporate both.

I used both in my project. The silver embossing of the stamped trees, the shimmer in the card I used for my die-cut sentiment and a little bit of Sprinkle IT in my pigment powder background provide a lot of subtle shimmer. The Christmas trees and some of the colours were inspired by the photo.

As for the Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge prizes:
One winner of a $20 gift code will be picked by one member of our DT.
Plus 3 randomly drawn winners will each receive a $7 gift code.

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

Here are the affiliate links of the STAMPlorations products I used in today's project:

Sketchy Yule Trees, Season's Greetings Phrase Die

It's Starting To Look ....

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Tuesday and this means it's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations. For today's project I am sharing a little Christmas card. Here it is ...

Have you noticed that some of the Bloomdala Bliss masks look a bit like snowflakes? Well, I thought they do and decided to pair one of them with a few gems ... mainly to use them up rather than continue to store them in my craft room.

Just giving you a little heads up, Phrase Die I used in my project are on offer in the STAMPlorations shop this month at 30% off using code DIES30.
You can check out all their current promotions here.

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!
hugs
Monika
