Wanderlust Release Over At STAMPlorations

Hello Crafty Friends!

STAMPlorations are releasing some pretty cool stamps today in their new Wanderlust range and they are celebrating with a little Blog Hop.

I was working with some of their large Typographia Wanderlust sentiments in combination with the Wanderlust Hipster Icons. I just LOVE the Hipster Icons, they are perfect for adding a splash of colour to your cards! You might have seen me using them recently in some of my makes.

Isn't it great to make some cards without colouring! Even the deer didn't need any colouring to look good alongside the new stamps.

As you can see, they are also perfect for tall cards .... All you have to do is stamp. 😁

For my last card, I simply did some wild sponging for some wild camping.

Here are a few close-ups of today's cards.

For all the Prize Info, to check out the lovely projects my teamies made and to join the hop, pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog.

I hope you feel inspired to create your own project where sentiments are taking center stage and share it with us over at STAMPlorations either in our 'Focus On The Sentiments' April Challenge or in our Never Ending Anything Goes Challenge, if you used at least one STAMPlorations product.

That's it from me for today. Have a lovely day!

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's time for the April Challenge over at STAMPlorations, As my DT contribution, I made a card celebrating the companionship of cats ...

As you probably guessed, the theme for this month is 'Focus On Sentiments'. You may remember that STAMPlorations currently have only one challenge to give Shery time to settle into a new routine having recently given birth to their second daughter Winter.

Here are the simple rules for the challenge:

• You may create any type of project -- cards (any style), mixed media, tags, layout, etc -- as long as it follows their theme

• STAMPlorations product is not required though they’d love to see it

• You may enter as many times as you want – as long as each project has its own blog post

• You must display the challenge graphic below + link back to the challenge page to qualify for the prizes

• You must comment on the entry before yours in the gallery – lets spread the love

• For an extra chance, comment on the challenge post and the designers’ blog posts throughout the month

Shery is offering a generous 10% (no coupon code needed) off all stamps, stencils, and dies in the store from Feb through April. Using my personal discount code STAMPGIRLMONIKA at checkout will give you an added 20% off taking the total discount to 30%.

I white embossed my sentiment on a die-cut panel, dry embossed my card base using the Bloom Factory stencil, coloured and fuzzy cut some cats, Purrfectly Pawsome, and layered everything up as shown. Here is a little close-up ...

Fancy creating your own Focus On Sentiments themed make, why not link it up over at STAMPlorations? I look forward to seeing you there.

That's it from me for today. Have a lovely week!
