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.

Belated 7th Birthday Celebrations at STAMPlorations - Day 1

Hi Crafty Friends!

Welcome to Day 1 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 two of Sanna's new stencils Amaranth and Abstract April Showers. Have a look on how I used them ...

My first card combines the Amaranth stencil with the Confetti #1 Slimline stencil and the Joy stamp set for a slimline Christmas card.

My second card combines the Abstract April Showers stencil with the Rectangles Flexi-Template for the background.

I masked the frame off using one of the rectangles and sponged the raindrops in turquoise and grey before removing the stencil and mask.

I then masked off the stencilled raindrops using the Rectangles Flexi-Templates as shown and sponged the frame.

I finished off with a bit more stamping, sticker sentiment and a fuzzy cut Kathryn.

Theme And Photo Prompt Reminder

Hi Crafty Friends!

Just a little reminder that there is still time to play at this month's challenges over at STAMPlorations.

The theme for the current challenge is Stamps & Autumn and the photo prompt can be seen below. Your project can either be inspired by the theme, photo prompt or both. The full challenge rules can be found here on the STAMPlorations Blog.

As you probably already guessed most of my inspiration came from both the theme and the photo.

I used the autumn colours for the background and the coffee cup took center stage. The square Flexi-Templates were arranged in a pattern to create the border.

As for the Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge prizes:
One winner of a $20 gift code will be picked by one member of our DT.
Plus 3 randomly drawn winners will each receive a $7 gift code.

Quick Cards

Hello Crafty Friends!

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

I needed a couple of quick cards to put notes through neighbours' doors warning them about impending congestion in our road.

The first one uses the print off individual circles from my Circles Flexi-Template in combination with Brusho powders ...

... and the second one uses the Ovals Flexi-Templates in combination with watercolour pencils.

I arranged the templates as shown in the photo above with the small oval at the bottom and the largest one on top before using watercolour pencils and a damp brush to create the arcs.

I'll be sharing more makes featuring the Flexi-Templates during next week's belated birthday celebrations.

Each month STAMPlorations are having a different promotion. This month they're offering 10% off throughout all three of their stores, no coupon needed.

Hug In A Mug

Hello Crafty Friends!

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

Well I did cut a few of the Coffee Cup Silhouette last week which needed using up. They were popped on brusho background and finished off with die-cut hearts and sentiment.

TIP!: Using Brushos on photo paper/card like in my card makes for very vibrant backgrounds.

Today is also the last day for commenting on the National Coffee Day Hop and your last chance to grab a bargain from the Coffee Day Sale over at STAMPlorations, 20% off instantly no coupon needed.

Theme & Photo Prompt October

Hello Crafty Friends!

Let's welcome October and the start of another round of challenges over at STAMPlorations. Here is my DT piece for this month's Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge ...

The theme for the current challenge is Stamps & Autumn Colours and the photo prompt can be seen below. Your project can either be inspired by the theme, photo prompt or both. The full challenge rules can be found here on the STAMPlorations Blog.

As you probably already guessed most of my inspiration came from both the theme and the photo.

I used the largest oval from the Flexi-Template (to be released later this month) and sponged with Daffodil Delight SU ink and Miel Izink ink. I left the oval on, placed the Autumn Falling stencil on top and sponged the leaves with Pumpkin Pie SU ink before removing the stencil and Flexi-Template and adding the birds in Broue de Noix Izink ink and finishing off with the stamped pumpkin and sentiment. 

As for the Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge prizes:
One winner of a $20 gift code will be picked by one member of our DT.
Plus 3 randomly drawn winners will each receive a $7 gift code.

In order to be considered for a prize, make sure you've followed the rules here.
