Star Stampz Challenge - February 2025

Hi everyone,

today I'm posting my DT card for the StarStampz Challenge blog

As always, the challenge is anything goes with an optional twist that this month is "Hearts".

For my card I used the digi stamp Winter Kiss coloured with alcohol markers. For the background, I used an embossing folder in a pink cardstock, and used a pink ink to accentuate the hearts.


I hope you like it.

StarStampz Challenge - January 2025

Hello friends,

this year I'm a DT member of StarStampz and this is the card I made for January challenge that you can find at https://starstampz.blogspot.com/:


The optional theme for this month is "inspired by a song" and I was inspired by the song Ballerina by Nat "King" Cole (or Dancing Queen by ABBA).

I used the stamp Ballerina that you can find at the Star Stampz Etsy store HERE!
And 

I hope that you join us in this challenge.

Freshly Made Sketches #666

Today is the night before Christmas and I decided to make a card for the new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, and the last one for this year.


My first thought was to use snowflakes, Christmas baubles/ornaments, or something like that, but then I decided that I wanted to do something different (the last FMS sketch of the year deserves something special), so I searched through my digital stamps stash, and 💡these cute characters by Ana from LttsDoodles were perfect to combine them with a 4-letter word: XMAS.


So I designed the card following the sketch, printed the digital stamps in a panel of Copic friendly cardstock, coloured them with OLO markers and attached the panel into a dark blue cardstock.


I hope you like it, and Merry Christmas 🎄 (Bon Nadal!)

Supplies:
Digital Stamps: Little Elves and Xmas Gnomes by LttsDoodles
Cardstock: Blueberry by Concord&9th
OLO markers

Freshly Made Sketches #659 with Clearly Besotted stamps

Hi friends,

I have a large collection of Clearly Besotted stamps (I love their stamps) and I don't use it often, so I thought one of them was perfect for this week Freshly Made Sketches challenge (#FMS659)



I cut a white Copic friendly cardstock with a stitched frame and I stamped the set directly in the cardstock (masking some of the stamps).

I coloured the main characters with Copic markers and the farm round background with colouring pencils to give the characters the main spot in the card.


I hope you like it.

Stamp: All Round Farm Fun by Clearly Besotted
Die: Rectangles with dots by Crealies (XXL no.44)

Nutcracker monochrome card

Hi friends,

today I want to share with you a Christmas card.

Blue is my favourite colour and I wanted to create a Christmas monochromatic card using it.



I printed in Copic friendly paper the digital stamp "Nutcracker" by Yolanda Dompi, and coloured it with blue tones.

I die cut a white cardstock panel using a frame die, inked a stencil with blue ink, and glued the stamp.

Finally, I added some sparkle, stamped the sentiment and I glued the panel into a navy blue cardstock.


I hope you like it.
Crafty hugs,
Mireia

Autumn pumpkin card with stamps by MyEnchantedColors

Hello crafty friends!

this is my 4th project for the Instagram challenge #retocoloreodeotoño by MyEnchantedColors.


For this fourth challenge, we had to make a project with pumpkins using the digital stamp sets Hora del té or Boo y Valentina.

I made an autumn card using stamps from both sets, and created two cute scenes in the same card.

For the first scene, I made a simple background with a cloud stencil and light purple ink. The stamps are coloured with OLO markers and the sentiment is stamped with brown ink.

The second scene is an autumn scene with a hedgehog pushing a wooden pumpkin cart (also coloured with OLO markers). For the background, I used stencils and autumn colour inks.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Happy crafting!

Elvi Studio October subscribers challenge

Hello crafty friends!

Today I want to share with you a Halloween card that I made some days ago to participate in the October subscribers challenge by Elvi Studio.


We had to create a project using the booth digital stamp as a main focus and decorate it. In my case, I received the booth already decorated as a prize to participate in the September subscribers challenge, and I decided to make a slimline card to accommodate all the stamps I wanted to use.




For the background, I blended purple inks in white cardstock, beginning at the centre with a lighter colour and going darker at the edges. I die cut some houses and a fence in black cardstock, and used a spider web stencil and white ink in the ground.

Finally I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder.


I'm very happy with how the card turned out, and I hope you like it too.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Happy crafting!
