Totally Toads!

Well aren't I the lazy blogger!! It's the start of February tomorrow so I thought I should put in an appearance for January with a couple of recent cards...

I thought I'd try a simple interactive card with these MFT toads, they are fun to colour.... breaking out my different green Copic combinations. This is what happens when you pull the tab..

The mechanism is hidden thanks to Lawn Fawns new slider die which fits perfectly on the back of the toad... he he.... basically he's toast shaped!! 😃 

I coloured up a fourth toad but couldn't fit him in the pond so he got his own separate card and is quite far from the pond!!!.....

I presume he's positioned so he can sit on a lily pad but I also thought he could be floating away with a bunch of heart shaped balloons. He does look rather out of place but then again he's trying to get a message across 😉

I have more details about these cards on the Seven Hills crafts blog here and here.

Thanks for stopping by :)

Hello

 Hope you had a lovely Christmas :)

So, it's that strange limbo period between Christmas and New Year...  

I'm sure I never really noticed it when I was a kid... too busy playing with new toys I suppose!

I thought I'd pop on here and share this card I made for my MiL who had a birthday at the start of the month, it's always quite a nice break from making Christmas cards. I went with these lovely Hellebore's in three different colours..

The white one has to be my favourite, on the card and in real life, 

but the green varieties come a close second.

I used two of the fine frames from Altenew to group them onto... 

I love this die set but my 'old' Big Shot struggles with intricate dies like this... 

I've ordered one of the brand new Chrome Precision plates to hopefully 

give her a hand and prolong her life 😊

So that's all for 2018, thank you so much for visiting me here and

 leaving comments... I do read and really appreciate them.

I'd like to wish you all the best for a happy and healthy 2019

I love this cuddly bear!!.... never thought of him as retro looking but this 

card comes across like that! 

Perhaps its the colours I used and the black trees in the background but 

I'm quite pleased how this card turned out

Another card for my stash...

 not everyone wants a jolly, happy or merry Christmas card 

You can find more details for this card on my DT blog post here
