A Prickly Pun!

It's my day over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog and I've gone down the Punny card route again!!

I can't take credit for this fun pun but I had to have a go at illustrating 

it using a couple of MFT stamp sets...

Doesn't he look adorable? I did a bit of masking to squeeze him into the pot and used

 three shades of copic marker to make him look 'Cactus like' and gave 

him white spines with a gel pen.

Sometimes it's okay to not use a sentiment on your card.....trouble is, it's so easy 

to say 'Catcus' that I can't stop saying it that way round now!!

Thanks for stopping By :)

Girly Encouragement

Hi there :)

Here's a card that will hopefully make you giggle 😄

The nappy die in the Oh Baby dienamics from MFT totally inspired this card... 

I had a light bulb moment when I realised the Scalloped Edge borders would make the 

perfect trim for a pair of panties and the tiny star background a perfect subtle material pattern.

I was scratching my head on how to put the card together and fit all the phrasing on 

the card until I realised the Journaling alpha dies were a great size to

 put on the panties, or knickers as we call them over here!

This Little Piggy

Hi there :)

I'm still playing catch up sharing my DT projects and these two cards use two different techniques with the same stamp set :)  I've already said how much I love the Dawn Machell stamps from Reverse Confetti so I had to get the newest piggy set.... this sentiment is just as cute as the piggy itself...

I wanted to use the no-line colouring technique using distress inks as watercolours.... love how it turned out :) Rather than leave the card base blank I used a bunting die from Avery Elle to make a tone on tone effect pattern :)

The second card is another favourite technique.... paper piecing :) 

It's some fiddly cutting, but I do like the fabric effect if you use patterned paper and it totally suits the style of images too :) 

I used a few extra stamps from Weather it Together to add a sun, cloud and a muddy puddle... just what a piggy likes :)

Many Thanks

Hi there :)

I'm just popping by to share my DT card for Seven Hills Crafts

This card started out as a great idea but proved quite tricky to work out!! 

I guess 'Word Art' is a lot easier when you're starting from scratch and doing all

 the lettering yourself because fitting stamps together is more of a puzzle than crafting!

I needed a batch of thank you cards after our lads birthday bash and one layer seemed the 

quickest route so I pulled out a Paper Smooches set called Many Thanks and had a 

go at arranging the phrases on scrap paper. I soon gave up on that idea and 

trimmed them all out so I could arrange them on my cutting mat instead....

That made the job a lot easier along with my MISTI, which meant I could make multiples :)

I chose rainbow colours but didn't follow rainbow order and then added 

a strip of black card to contrast those colourful phrases :) 

I'm quite chuffed how it turned out, quite effective for a one layer card and

 James approved of them too!

Sending Warm Wishes

Hi there :)

It's time for a new challenge over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog and we have 

three colour palettes for you to choose from this month...

To be honest all three are gorgeous but I wanted to ink up the new Kitschy Kitchen 

from MFT so I went for the teals and red in the third choice...

I hardly make round cards and it seemed the perfect shape to go with coffee for two... until it came to the sentiment!! I couldn't find one to fit the gap so I drew a second pencil line as a 

guide and stamped my own using Mama Elephants Bella Letters :)

We would love you to play along to so please hop on over and 

check out the challenge details here :0
