Hap-pea Fathers Day ...

Well I have been after this stamp for absolutely years & years, then I found out that tampendous were releasing it, in the new collection and wow, I was right there ready to place my order. Well to be fair I was cruising  around the Mediterranean but my Daughter was under strict instructions to buy it immediately, bless her, thanks Elly x  It is titled 'Pea Pod Nap' and sold out quickly in many stores, it is soooo adorable, most favourite stamp ever!!!!

I have coloured with Promarkers, buttons, ribbon, gold mirri & hand stitched to finish.

The papers were of course from NITWIT COLLECTIONS from these two kits

    

That is all from me today, be back soon love

So the papers you may have seen on my blog before HERE I really love it so I have used it once again here with a touch of shabby (Gesso) and some navy shimmer card. Now for the info if you are interested that is, coloured with Promarkers, frame, flowers,tree die & pearls.  The fence, ivy, flower border, butterflies & acetate trails, cat & bunting are from various Doohickey Club boxes.

Winter Wishes ...

Been a while since my last post, I did say as one of my new year resolutions I would make

one Christmas card a week so there wouldn't be a mad rush, needless to say that didn't happen.  I decided to make one a day in the month of October, well I have made some but I am still behind.  One down many many more to come.  I did purchase several of the new Stamp & Cutz from Magnolia but the others weren't Christmas so I inked this one up first!

I have made a bauble shaped card today using one of the new Stamp & Cutz from Magnolia, this one is called Cocoa Tilda & Snow Flurries, so that is the stamp and snowflake dies as a duo.

I have also used the Magnolia log stamp from way back when.  Flowers, buttons, ribbons, pine cone charms, star die, tree die, berries.  The branches, twigs & holly are from various Doohickey Club kits. Hand stitched & coloured with Promarkers.  The bauble card blank itself was cut on my Silhouette.

The pretty papers are from NITWIT COLLECTIONS

A DL sized card inside a pocket today to share using Burger Tilda which I have had for an age and it has never seen ink and the worst thing is there are plenty more that I need to use.

Hand stitched & coloured with Promarkers.

This is definately fully loaded so here goes - flowers, doily, love charm, spoon/fork charms, ribbons, sequins & pearls.
