A stunning Christmas card using no stamping

 Hi Everyone,


For the last time, it's my turn to share my makes over at the Trinity Stamps blog. My term with the Team has sadly come to an end, but I am so grateful to have had that opportunity - being able to be part of the company's growth over the last 12 months meant so much to me!

As my final make, I have a beautiful no-stamping (and almost no-die-cutting) Christmas card for you  - it's pretty much all ink blending and stencilling! And isn't the result simply stunning?

There's also a little bonus project over there, so make sure you pop over and say hello!


I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and here's to hoping that 2021 is a little bit better and kinder to all of us!

Stay safe and crafty,

Mirella

Mantle Banner - 12 Days of Christmas projects with Trinity Stamps

Hi Everyone,

Did you know that Trinity Stamps are doing an amazing 12 Days of Christmas series? Not only can you get fantastic inspiration, but you can win some great prizes, too! There are 2 prizes worth $75, and two worth $50, so it's definitely worth it to participate!

I am sharing a lovely, and relatively simple to make, mantle banner. I wasn't entirely sure at the beginning if I would actually use it, but once I placed it around the mantlepiece, I totally fell in love! I have a feeling I might be making more of these, for various occasions. 

You can find more information on how I made it, and more photos here. Leaving comments under the blog post over at the Trinity Blog makes you also eligible for being in the draw for the prizes!



Stay safe, crafty and merry!

Mirella

A slimline Christmas card, using coordinating dies instead of the stamp set

Hi Everyone,

How are you getting on with your Christmas cards? 

I am really proud of myself this year - the plan to make at least one or two Christmas cards every month has totally paid off! I will finally have enough cards for my closest friends and family, woohoo! I plan to step it up with 3 cards a month next year, that way I might even have some cards to spare! ;o)

I am on the Trinity Stamps blog again today, sharing a fun idea on using the coordinating dies for my focal image, instead of the actual stamp set. Have you ever tried it? It won't work with every stamp&die set, but when it does, it makes the investment in the coordinating dies so much sweeter!




Pop over and say hello if you have a moment!

Stay safe and crafty,


Mirella
