A Winters View

Hello there :)

There are some lovely Christmas stamp sets released this year and it's fun to mix and match them with older sets so we can give them some more love 😊

I have done just that with this card I made for my DT blog post at Seven Hills Crafts this week...

I've used the new City Sidewalks from Mama Elephant to make the background scenery and the older Winter in the Park from Lawn Fawn in the foreground. The layers open up to see the view unfold...

The middle layer of trees are from an MFT stamp set called O'Christmas Tree, I love how basic they are so they don't compete with the detail in the city scenery. I have a few more details on the Seven Hills Crafts blog here but basically I made the card in three parts..

I decided to make a card stand and attach it to the back of the card... it did stand up of its own accord but I thought this would display the card better...

Love the City Sidewalks set, I can see it will be good for other cards aside of Christmas with those blocks of buildings. This card was fun to make.. more of a special card rather than one for repetitive production though 😉

All Prickles!

Oh my! I am sharing a couple of cards over at the Seven Hills Crafts blog today and the cuteness levels are 'off the scale' because I've used the adorable MFT Happy Hedgehogs alongside the Sweet Succulents stamps set...

It was such fun to colour the images and make up this little woodland scene... I even snuck two conkers into the shot.... which I still collect by the way, because I cannot resist them lying on the ground!!
I love this hedgehogs expression and thought he looked quite sincere enough for this sentiment from the succulents set :)

My other train of thought for pairing these two stamp sets was this little short-sighted guy thinking the round potted cactus was another hedgehog.. Lol :)

He does have a look of surprise and confusion I think!!

Top Dog

Hi there :)

I have a bit of a craving for retro at the moment and I still have had the Top Dog stamp set from MFT un-inked so I thought I'd better do something about it.....

I love these colours together... they remind me of illustrations in old books and these dogs are the perfect style to match that retro look too. I first saw Nina Yang of Waffleflower Crafts colour images and leave a small white sliver of a gap... it looks so cool ....

I used four shades of copics to colour these doggies and there backgrounds... nice to not have to think about extra shading with simple colouring like this :) 

Supplies Used:

Stamps: (Top Dog, Myriad Dot Background) My Favourite Things

Snowflake Tree Decorations

Hi there :)

Monday is my DT day over at Make the Day Special Stamp Store and today I have been sharing these Snowflake tree decorations made using the MFT Pierced Snowflake dies....

I've been cranking these dies through my Big shot to create multi layers in brown and white card then finishing with a sticky back wood paper on one set and white glitter paper on the others. I love how the different materials give a totally different feel and theme.

 The greenery at the top is made using Under the Mistletoe dies from Wplus9 cut in two shades of green card, I trimmed the branches into smaller sections and added red liquid pearls for berries.

The glittery flakes just have a white bow and silver bells.... both sets make the softest tinkling when moved and I'm looking forward to hanging them on our tree :)
