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.
Crafty hugs,

Supplies:
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!

Valentine's Day Card for FMS #572

Hi everyone,

Valentine's Day is near, and I decided to create this postcard with the new digital stamps by MissCricra:


These digital stamps were perfect to create a card to enter the Freshly Made Sketches #572


I colored the stamps with Copics and added details in the wings with Nuvo Dream Drops. For the background, I used Catherine Pooler inks and a hearts stencil from Aall and Create to add interest in the background.


I also enter this card in the TioT February Challenge: All you need is love

Have a nice day
