November Christmas In The Air

Hi Crafty Friends!

I'm sharing a few projects for the Christmas In The Air feature over at STAMPlorations using their new Christmas In The Air Kit #3. Have a look ...

My first card uses the Winter Village stamp set from the kit in combination with the Thrill Of Hope phrase die and a little help from the Three Kings set for the stars.

Did you notice that the large stamp of the row of houses is perfect for stamping the background for the small row of houses? All you have to do is ink up the reverse to stamp the solid colour.

My second card is a slimline card which uses the small bell from the kit's stencil in combination with one of the Ephemera Tiles for the sentiment. The bells were stencilled with Saphire Glitter Frosting Paste.

The colour of the tile can easily be matched by sponging it with matching ink.

My last card is another slimline card using another one of the Ephemera tiles, this time with a little help from the Holly stencil. I don't have the slimline version of it yet, but I was able to align the standard size one in a way to naturally continue the pattern.

Here is a closer look at all three ...

These are the products I used in today's projects:

October Christmas In The Air

Hi Crafty Friends!

I'm sharing a few projects for the Christmas In The Air feature over at STAMPlorations using their new Christmas In The Air Kit #3. Have a look ...

My first card showcases the phrase die from the kit. It always makes me think of stars hence I combined it with a star from the Shooting Stars square stencil which I stencilled using silver Glitter Frosting Paste. A couple of rounded corners finished my card off.

My second card showcases the bell from the stencil and the Be Joyful Ephemera Tiles which I combined with the Leaves #1 stencil. I used Aurore, Cire, Grenadine and Framboise Izink inks to stencil my bell before adding the leaves in Menth Izink ink. The sentiment tile finished my card off.

My last card showcases Shirley's aka The Bee's Knees new set Winter Village. I kept it simple with minimal colouring on a pearlised basecard and added a bit of stencilling using the Confetti #1 stencil. A touch of glitter finished my card off.

Over on the STAMPlorations Blog you can find projects by Shirley showcasing Kit #3.

Here are a few close-ups of my projects ...

Doodled Lights

Hi Friends!

Just a quick post today sharing my DT piece for the Inspiration Post over on the STAMPlorations blog ...

I was playing with one of the trees from the Winter Village stamp set trying to stamp a wreath. It didn't quite work out the way I had envisaged hence it was turned into a background for my baubles. The sentiment is from the Layered Holly set, and my card was finished off with gems, stars and doodles.

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

Layered Lights, Layered Holly, Winter Village stamp set from the Christmas In The Air Kit #3

September Christmas In The Air

Hi Crafty Friends!

Over at STAMPlorations they are introducing two new Christmas In The Air Kits.  STAMPlorations are celebrating the release with a little Blog Hop over on their blog.

I am showcasing the Christmas In The Air Kit #3 in my projects. Have a look ...

My first card uses the Holiday Bell stencil in combination with the Thrill Of Hope phrase die. I used Silver and Gold Glitter Frosting Paste with the stencil and the sentiment was cut from silver mirror card.

My next card uses the Winter Village stamp set in combination with the Stitched Snow Hills. The houses were watercoloured and finished off with a touch of glitter.

For my last card I went a bit retro using the Be Joyful ephemera tiles in combination with some patterned paper and gems from my stash. I simply added a touch of colour, rounded some corners and did some matting and layering.

Over on the STAMPlorations Blog you can find projects by Shirley showcasing Kit #3 and Nancy and Deppti both of whom are showcasing Kit #2.

You have until September 30 to join the Release Blog Hop by leaving a comment on the STAMPlorations Blog and participating designers' blogs.

Prize: one winner can choose either Kit #2 or Kit #3

The winner will be randomly drawn from all the comments left as mentioned above and announced in the September Winners post on October 10 on the STAMPlorations Blog

Here are a few close-ups of my projects ...
