You're My Cup Of Tea

 I just LOVE getting to play with all the latest crafty goodies, definately the plus of having a shop! Probably my most favourtie character range is the A La Modes and i have quite a collection building so when i saw the new You're My Cup Of Tea in the new mft release i new i would need it. I couldn't wait to get it inked up and here is my first creation with it...

I coloured her with Copics, did a bit of paper piercing and used the fabulous new Carta Bella Devoted Paper Pad. I love this new paper and i deffo need to get another pad as it's lush and not just for valentines really, lovely colour combo. The twine & polkadot button are from The Ribbon Girl.

MMCS Themed Weeks - Sweet Treats

It's Tuesday as usual my card i have made for My Mum's Craft Shop.

It's themed week time once again and this week the theme is Sweet Treats. So you can incorporate this however you like - creating a treat bag.box, using images with sweets or treats on, loads of scope on this one eh girlies! I decided to create a choccy card using one of my fav charactors by MFT - A La Modes!

This is Dip Me In Chocolate (oo er!) and i coloured her with copics. She looks more tanned than in actual life but these dark winter days mean photographing is a bit harder. She's just been given the Towie look that's all :) The papers i used are Echo Park For The Record 2 Documented. I created the bow using my lush new Dienamics Beautiful Bows Die (more on the way soon) and i also used my Fishtail STAX. Obviously a bit of Kraft was in order to be used and some pearly whirlies of course!

Make sure you pop by the MMCS Blog each day this week for more 

Sweet Treats from the rest of the Design Team!

Bottle Covers

Have you seen the latest Dienamics Die & Stamp Set called Let's Toast? If not you are in for a treat as it's a massooosive set with loads of lovely sentiment and coordinating dies - i love it!
Here i have two lil covers that go over Wine Bottles or any type of drinks bottle to jazz it up a bit and give as gifts. They are very simple as i did these in one of the shop demonstrations recently!

This first one i made to show you can use this set to make gifts for men - as let's face it they are always tricky buggers!!

This last one also features a new A La Mode Stamp - An Apple For Teacher. I made this as i thought it would be fab to use as a teacher gift - i've gotta start thinking up some ideas for these and won't be long before the end of term really!

Hopefully i will be bringing you more ideas using this set very soon, so watch ths space!!
I hopefully will be back later on with a few bits to show you - have been playing with my new stash :)

Martini's On Me

Ever since i saw this stamp i knew i would have to have it!!! I just LOVE A La Modes at the moment and seem to be building up my collection very quickly - who can blame me? They are ACE! I used lots of new products that we have had delivered over at the shop...

So the stamp is of course A La Modes Martinis On Me, coloured with Copics! I then used my fabby new Dienamics Fishtail Flags Stax & Chevron Stripes (these have sold out already but more on the way just email me to reserve!). The sentiment is stamped onto some mats made using my SU Punches - they seem to have appeared on my desk recently! I papers are WRMK Love Struck and i also added some Black Pearls.

Sadly it got a bit mucky before talking the pic - blooming kids and there choccy fingers but you get tghe general idea of the card eh!?

Whats The Weather

Here is my latest card i made with the fabby new MFT A La Modes Stamps! As soon as i saw this stamp i had an idea in mind and new it totally screamed to be paper pierced, which is my latest obsession, it does take time and can be fiddly but the results are so worth it!

All the products used on this card are available at MMCS! So we have A La Modes The Rainbow Will Come Stamp which comes with a few lovely matching sentiments. The paper are Teresa Collins Spring Fling, which are gorgeous! I also added lots of fabby Dienamics; Botanical Beauty to make the flowers, Chat Bubbles & Large Leafy Flourish. I drew around the edge of my flowers with my Copic fineliner so make them pop a bit more. To finish i added a couple of gems and some Stickles to the puddle to make it sparkle a lil bit!
