Christmas Candles

Hi Crafty Friends!

Following on from yesterday's post is the theme of supporting Shery, STAMPlorations owner, by promoting some of the bundles she has for sale.

Today I'm showcasing dies from the Christmas Thin Metal Dies bundle which you can find here.

Simply die-cut and layered it's a rather easy card to make.

Wishing you a lovely day!

PS - the bundles would make great Christmas gifts for crafty friends, one could get up to 10 gifts out of the Christmas Thin Metal Dies bundle.

Please note, STAMPlorations digital store is still fully open and has a few really nice images for making Christmas cards too.

Thankful Every Day

Hi Crafty Friends!

It's time to support STAMPlorations a bit. As some of you might know STAMPlorations owner Shery has this year been facing some health challenges which means that she has been unable to work and keep her online shop open as usual.

However Shery has put some bundles up for sale which ship in the US and Canada only ... and her digital store is still open too. You can check it out here. A particular favourite of mine is the Sketched Christmas Flower and Poinsettia Row set.

Today's card uses the tree and sentiment dies from the Gratitude Bundle which you can find here.

Both were cut into my base card and backed with patterned paper. The tree was double layered and added back in.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Thank You Tags

Hi Crafty Friends!

November is here and with it probably a month of almost continuous postal strikes here in the UK, just in time for the busy online Christmas shopping period.

Today I'm sharing some tags I made a few weeks ago when I was selling a few stamp sets I no longer use. I always like to add a little card or tag when sending my de-stash items off to their new owners. Have a look ...

Background and sentiment were stamped using stamps from a set by Happy Little Stampers, not sure exactly where the dies came from.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

1st Birthday

Hi Crafty Friends!

Today I'm sharing a cute little birthday card made earlier this month for someone's 1st birthday ...

The little foxes are from a set called Hello Pumpkin by Lili Of The Valley, the sentiment is from a set by Crafty Roo Designs and the alphabet dies are from Memory Box.

The colouring was done using a mix of ink blending and watercolouring with brush markers. Of course,the envelope and wrapping paper was decorated using the foxes from the stamp set too.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Bold Birthday

Hi Crafty Friends!

Sharing a bold little card today using stamps by Crafty Roo Designs and a little daisy punch. Have a look ...

This card has minimal layers withe the punched daisies adding the second layer overall. The letters were coloured with brush markers for a bold look.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

CAS Christmas Trees

Hi Crafty Friends!

Just a quick CAS Christmas card for you today ...

The smaller one of the trees is double layered for added texture. Again I used older bits from my stash, the snowflake is a punch from Creative Memories, the sentiment stamp is from the retired Holiday Artsy set by STAMPlorations, the dotty circle and tree dies are from 'sorry I can't remember'.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

hugs
Monika 💕
