HIP HIP hooray ...

Playing with another new stamp from the fabulous MFT titled Picture Perfect Party Animals, such fun.

I have made a DL card and I think would be called an overlapping gate fold style? I have made the parrots frame into a shaker for a little extra fun.

Absolutely loved colouring these using Promarkers.  Hand stitched, hooray, stars, glossy accent noses, balloons, ric rac, papers, acetate and some bling to finish.  

Thank you for popping by, stay safe love Jane x

Wedding Anniversary ...

CAS today, playing with another gorgeous new stamp from My Favorite Things, Peony Perfection.  Embossed in white on Desert Storm Neenah card and coloured this time with Prisma pencils.  A joy to colour and I am really pleased with the result.  CG sentiment onto printable vellum.  A couple of gold sequins to finish.

Stay safe, love Jane x

On POINT ...

Today I want to share the stamps & dies from MFT and the designer Birdie Brown titled 'Let's Stick Together', super gorgeous and some great sentiments included too.  So I have used TH distress oxides; squeezed lemonade & spiced marmalade for the background, hand stitched and layered up some brown and green cardstock.  Coloured the cute cacti with Promarkers and some glossy accents for the moustache and a heart gem from my stash and three green pearls. The sentiment is heat embossed in gold.  Mat and layered using double sided tape and foam. 

I would like to enter this into the following challenge -

Happy crafting, Jane x

10 YEARS BLOGGING ...

Wow, 10 years have passed by on my blog, can't quite believe it. In that time I have had the pleasure of designing for some great teams and won some challenges along the way.  My biggest accolade to date is to be a winner of the Papercraft Magazines Designer of the Year 2018.

Thank you to all of my followers and lovely comments and for sticking with me even when my posts are thin on the ground.

I still love to craft as much as I did when I first got hooked and long may it continue, although I think like many others I have two hobbies; buying lovely irresistable goodies and then using them, ha ha.

More agenda stamps today from Mama Elephant, I told you I was a huge fan, this time Panda Agenda.  Tall, slim card once again, stamped background, coloured with Promarkers, hand stitched and Sizzix dimensional domes with some red heart sprinkles to finish.  The sentiments are oldies but goodies from Mama Elephant and the Tiny Ninja stamp set.

Thank you for visiting today, please take care and stay safe in these difficult times, love Jane x

Sending Heaps of Holiday Wishes ...

Today I have been playing with this gorgeous Stamp from Art Impressions titled 'Penguin Stacker' it is soooo cute. I ordered it in the January sales online but it never appeared until July?  Good job I wasn't in a rush for it, ha ha.  Nice & simple again today as I wanted the image to speak for itself.

I have coloured with Promarkers, snowflakes, Nitwit papers & hand stitched once again.
