Belated 7th Birthday Celebrations at STAMPlorations - Day 2

Hi Crafty Friends!

Welcome to Day 2 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 Beyond The Trees Slimline stencil with this two-for-one set of cards ...

For the right hand card the inks were sponged through the stencil and for the left hand card I simply spritzed the stencil with water and took a print. To finish I added the die-cut Stitched Snowhills with a glitter edge, the deer and fox, a die-cut sentiment and a couple of gems. 

There are several ways of joining the STAMPlorations Birthday Celebrations:

Hello Crafty Friends!

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

For today's card I have taken a little bit of inspiration from the 500th Cupcake Inspiration Challenge, which I'm going to enter ...

As you can see, it's the rainbow colours and birthday theme I chose. For the background I used the new  slimline stencil. I decided to leave the fox and deer uncoloured and finished off with a simply stamped sentiment.

This month STAMPlorations are having a Dies and Slimline Stencils Sale, at "25% and 20% off respectively. You can check out the full details here on their shop's Promotions Page. Why not pop over and have a little browse.

#102 Anything Goes with optional twist of Beverages

As you can see, I've gone for the optional twist.

Well, I wanted to spread a bit of joy, rooted through my stamps and came across this little critter. I thought his facial expression would be perfect for my sentiment ... simples ...

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!
