Paper Smooches Sparks - Anything Goes Week

Hello there :0)

It's a 5th Sunday in November so that means an extra week of fun at Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge blog with an Anything Goes theme...

I've been playing with the new Cool Dudes stamp set and the large 'build a snowman' collection of stamps in the set to be precise!! I love his friendly face, especially when you dot his eyes with enamel accents to give them some real life twinkle :0)

He's peeking through the cute wonky scalloped frame from Just for you dies and the sentiment is from the Christmas Sampler stamp set.

I'm sure you'll want to play along so do check out the rest of the DT's projects...I think we're all playing along this week :0)

Christmas Fun

Well Christmas card making is in full flow here in the Craftroom and both my cards today have already been ear-marked by the kiddos (who am I fooling, theyre both young adults!!) to send this Christmas :0)

I'm sharing these over at Make the Day Special Stamp Store Blog... have you popped over lately to see all the newest stock and Brands in store??

Hehe... I've been waiting to make this card since I had the lightbulb moment of pairing the sentiment from Lawn fawns Winter Sparrows with the twitter app from # Awesome.
IRL the blue is a better match to the actual app but the camera hasn't caught it well!! Just goes to show you can stick a Santa Hat on anything and make it Christmassy :0)

 This next one appealed to James's sense of humour so his teacher will most likely receive it :0)

The chimney is the top half of the fireplace from Lawn Fawns Cosy Christmas and Santas boots are the wellies from Paper Smooches Green Thumb. The PS Slang Gang set comes in useful for fun and quirky sentiments for cards... hehe... too many mince pies me thinks *wink*

More details for both cards can be found over at Make the Day Special Stamp Store blog along with a full product list.

Thanks for stopping by :0)

Welcome!!

Hello and as the title says...Welcome to a new challenge at Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge.
It's everyones favourite this week.. Anything Goes, let your creativity run wild with those stamps and dies!!

I had some new stash arrive this week so it was put to use straightaway for this 'Welcome to the Neighbourhood' card with a gardening theme.....

I have a mild obsession at the moment with colouring those adorable vegtables from Green Thumb. I had used this set for my Hubby's birthday card last week and it was still on my desk so I had to use it again... not to mention it's a perfect match for the woodgrain plate in the new Patterns 1 die set :0)
I took a tip from the very talented Pamela Ho, and inked the Woodgrain die with dark brown ink before running it through my bigshot with some Kraft card.... it looks just fab!!
I cut the new Welcome die three times and stacked them for extra dimension onto the woodgrain piece...then it was just a case of playing with the pieces to fit the square card!!

I had coloured one of the peapods in too and couldn't bare to leave it out so I popped it into the inside along with the rest of the sentiment :0)

As always here are the links to the rest of my teamies, make sure you visit them to check out their projects too :0)
