In the Mountains

We had a fabulous holiday in Switzerland this summer enjoying the mountain scenery and cable cars, so when I saw this stamp set from Hero Arts I had to have it :)

To make a mountain landscape I have used Mama elephants arch dies to help it pop up!!

The two little cable cars dangle on silver thread and no, that's not me skiing! I prefer to admire the scenery with two feet firmly on the ground plus, it was a lot more green when we were there 😉

This is how I positioned the scenery and pop up elements

To keep the card closed I made a wrap that slides over the card base and added a 

simple stamped scene to lead the recipient to the surprise inside

Christmas Flora & Fauna

Nothing like new Christmas stamps to inspire some seasonal crafting!!

I've used a few stamps and dies from the latest Flora & Fauna release to make these two cards..

Now that's what I call a warm winter hat... just what a little penguin needs when he's waiting for Santa to arrive. I love the simple four block border of Buffalo plaid in the Texture 7 stamp set... great for lining up or stacking to make your own pattern.

This is my fave of the two.... I used a solid stamp for the sky and inked it in three different blues then added a curve of glitter paper and three die cut trees.... fab collage effect :)

Just because it's Autumn

I have a couple of cards I made using the thankful leaves turnabout stamp from Concord&9th.

I love the vibrant colour of the oxides on Kraft card 😊

I made one whole patterned piece and trimmed strips from around the edges for the first card and cut an aperture in the remaining scrap for the second. The water-coloured leaves are also from the background, I just trimmed them out and used them as embellishments.
