SNOW MUCH LOVE ...

Another new stamp set I just couldn't resist, Snow Angels from Mama Elephant combined with their die 'Warm Fuzzy Hugs' released at the same time.  Made this one for my Son to play with.The background was created with TH distress oxide; Salty Ocean along with some Lawn Fawn Liquid Stardust.   The bear and the fox are on mini action wobble springs.  The cat has been raised by a 3d foam pad.  The snowflakes are also from Lawn Fawn and some gems to finish.  Coloured with my favourite medium Promarkers. 

Christmas ...

Well this years sixty general cards are now complete, simple yet elegant. Fell in love with teal & gold for my colours this year combined with stamps from Mama Elephant, just love this new stamp set; Pine & Posy  The sentiment is from the first beautiful Papercraft Society box, designed by Christina Griffiths.  Heat embossed in gold on teal, gold mirror mat, gold embossed onto a white mat and coloured with Promarkers.  This year I have stamped my envelopes using the Pine & Posy again in black and just of the edge, really finishes off the look I was going for.

  

To co-ordinate I have made some shaker labels using the fabulous freebies from Simply Cards & Papercraft issue 198 back in October.  Along with some gold organza ribbon and some Nuvo confetti. My gift wrap is a gold sheen Kraft paper to complete the look.

Squeal ...

 

Regular followers will have noticed I do like an interactive card and I have to say MFT have some amazing dies to create spectacular creations with ease and this one is no exception, the Interactive Up & Down dies which I just had to combine with the Piggy Pebbles, gorgeous piggy jumping in the puddle along with the fantastic sentiment, perfect me thinks.

Coloured with Promarkers in my usual dotty style, very therapeutic, simply layered with some polka dot paper and green cardstock.  I have used glossy accents on the puddle and rain and a couple of green pearls to finish.

Congrats ...

Well finally I can share this card with my blogging friends.  I made this for a special lady who is now a fully qualified veterinary nurse (RVN), her dream job, well deserved.

I have used the Picture Perfect stamps from MFT for this themed card.  The Scripty congrats is from Lawn Fawn and one of my favourite go to dies.  I have distress oxide the background with a splash of water then hand stitched.  The frames are also from MFT made into shakers, hearts & stars. To keep this modern and hip I have stapled the layers to the base.  Colored with Promarkers in my usual dotty style.

Hap - pea ...

I was lucky enough to get hold of the Magic Picture Changer from Lawn Fawn a while back and couldn't wait to get started.  These peas are just adorable and loved by all, young and old.

I have also used from Lawn Fawn the add on die set and the Hap-pea stamp set.  Papers are from Nitwit Collections, coloured with Promarkers, birthday sentiment stamp from Craftwork Cards stamped in black and heat embossed in clear.  Ribbon, green pearls and hand stitched.  Really fun to make and not as daunting as it may look, I think I will be making plenty of these in the future, watch this space.

A TOAST TO US ...

Two posts in one day, on a roll or should I say a piece of toast, ha ha.  Sharing some older stamps and dies which hadn't yet been played with, until now.  The Lawn Fawn Let's Toast stamps, dies & add ons.

Background created with TH Salty Ocean Distress Oxide and a splash of water, Roxstamps Round  Nesting die and plenty of elements from Lawn Fawn.  Coloured as always with Promarkers.  Some Altenew Rock enamel dots to finish.  That is all for me today, see you again soon

Have a Claw-some ...

Had this stamp a wee while I confess with someone in mind before I went on to use it generally, anyone else do that or just me?

So gorgeous stamps from Lawn Fawn as always, titled 'you're claw-some' with plenty of stamping options.  I decided to use the hearts and stars for the base layer, colored with Promarkers, clear sparkles on the hearts and glossy accents on the stars.  Hand stitched as I hadn't done that for a while, matted and layer with coordinating card.  Sentiment from the set with a gold staple.  A little bit of movement on this one by way of the claw.

Thanks for popping by my blog today, there never seems to be enough time to blog as much as I would like but I am crafting away behind the scenes but limited to what I can share.

Take care, love
