Merry Christmas

Hi Crafty Friends!

As promised the first one of the two card I made using stencil prints from the card posted on Monday. Think this was the second one I took, have a look ...

I simply added the die-cut trees by Memory Box, had them for ages, a sentiment from STAMPlorations and a couple of gems to finish.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Just Be Happy

Hi Friends!

A quick post today with some coffee goodness. Given that the days have gone much shorter, colder and more rainy here in the UK, I thought it would be a perfect time to be happy, drink coffee and craft ...

Staying with the wintery theme I opted for a stencilled snowflake background and a festive colour scheme for my coffee cup.

I am entering my card at the 2021 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

The products used in my card are from STAMPlorations. These are the ones I used:

Floral Coffee Cups - Colorables, Snowflakes Stencil, Coffee And Mondays, Bloomdala Bliss Felicity Dies

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.

Wishing a lovely day!

Fa La La La Latte

 Hi Crafty Friends!

Welcome to my second post of the day. It's time for the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I am joining as part of the STAMPlorations team using two of their new festive coffee themed stamp sets.

First up is a card using the Holiday Mocha Feels set in combination with the Circles Flexi-Template, the Snowflakes stencil and a sentiment from the Fa La La La Latte set.

At 5 x 7 inches, this card is a bit larger than the ones I normally make. Contrasting the warmest greetings sentiment is the frosty background following the steps highlighted in the Christmas In The Air feature here on the STAMPlorations Blog finished off with the fa la la la latte sentiment stamped into the frame. The coffee cup image was coloured with Promarkers, woefully underused by me in recent months, before stamping the sentiment. Splatters and sequins finished the almost retro look.

My next card uses the Fa La La La Latte set in combination with the Confetti #1 slimline stencil.

The inspiration was hot spiced chocolate with a touch of cream melting on top. This cosy cup image reminds me of cold late afternoons browsing Christmas market stalls, twinkling lights, Christmas carols ... I can dream ... not much of it happening this year around where I live.

i used my metallic pencils for colouring and a touch of Elegant Eggplant SU ink for sponging the stars and dots.

Good Tidings

Hello Crafty Friends!

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

This is my take on Christmas in July. Interestingly I didn't find it as difficult as normally ... hmmmmm ... makes me wonder, if the un-seasonally cold weather here in the UK had something to do with it.

I used one of Sanna's new stencils for the background. The pencil coloured image itself is a digi stamp and was printed directly on my basecard with the stencilling being done loosely around it.

The card got finished off with a bold sticker sentiment and a few gems.

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. Please note that my discount code can not be combined with any other coupon code, but you can use it as often as you wish. 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.

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

Hope you're having a lovely week!
