Cutting out Cacti

Cacti still seem to be a trend.... not that I make cards to follow trends but I do love cacti!! 

These have been cut out from the Concord & 9th's turnabout set.... once you've

stamped out a 5x5 panel you have a quite a few coordinating images to play with...

I added a few touches of gold to the pots and some background 

stamping for a modern contemporary feel.

I had enough to make a second card too, these are grounded on a frame with

 Lil inkers stamps and dies spelling out the sentiment...

It's good to get another use from the turnabout sets :)

Shining Super Heroes

Here are a couple of Super Heroes.... I think there were a few of those last week

 helping stranded motorists caught in the snow!! Luckily we had

 hardly any snow here so life carried on as normal... phew 😌

Do you like the shining sparkle background? 

Its the new sunshine turnabout from Concord & 9th... I think it looks great

 embossed in white on the blue and the flying stars add the extra zing. 

It's a great set with lots of sentiments to mix and match with other stamps and 

the chunky banner has room for good sized words too.

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.
