Celebrate

Hi Friends!

Another Layered Cupcake card from me today as my DT piece for the Inspiration Post over on the STAMPlorations blog ...

I've just been playing with die-cuts, layered them up and arranged them in a cluster, something I don't often do. Usually you will see some stamping in my cards.

I finished off with a sticker sentiment and a few little nail embellishment flowers. It is always quite good to check out the nail art section in your local shop. Embellishment for finger nails work well on a cards too. 😀

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

Cupcake Builder #1 Dies, Cupcake Builder #2 Dies, Bloomdala Bliss Felicity Dies

 

Wonky Stitched Grid Cover Plate Die, Clustered Hearts Die, Inspirational #2 Clear Stickers

   

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.

I shall be back soon with more crafty makes. Until then ... have a lovely day!

Belated 7th Birthday Celebrations at STAMPlorations - Day 4

Hi Crafty Friends!

Welcome to Day 4 of STAMPlorations Belated 7th Birthday Celebrations. It's an opportunity to showcase some of their newer products too.

Today I am putting the focus on the two new Texture Cover Plate Dies, Circles All Over and Wonky Stitched Grid. Have a look on how I used them ... 

My first card combines the Circles All Over Texture Cover Plate Die with a die-cut Christmas Tree #1 and a Simple Christmas sticker sentiment. The Christmas tree is actually cut from slightly glittery card, sadly it doesn't show up in the photo.

My next card uses the Wonky Stitched Grid Texture Cover Plate Die in combination with the Rectangles Flex-Templates and the Kathryn And Christmas stamp set ...

I arranged the Rectangles Flexi-Template in the same way as I arranged the Squares in the photo below before sponging the stripes for my tree.

I sprinkled the stripes lightly with silver, gold and clear embossing powder to heat emboss for a more textured look. To finish I added a fuzzy cut Kathryn, bells, presents and sentiment.
