Here's The Scoop

Sorry i haven't posted for a few days i have been super busy in the shop with classes and prepping for them! Here is a clean and simple card i made with my fav stamps of the moment - A La Modes! Gosh i just love them, i can't wait til the April releases arrive as i NEED them too! This is one of the latest releases from March called It's Getting Deep.

So i coloured my gorgoeus girl with my Copics and used one of my fav paper stacks of the moment First Edition - Boho Chic. I also used my fab new Craft Tonic Edge Punch (these really cut like a dream!), The flower is made using a Dienamics Rolled Rose Die and i hand cut the leaves to match. The sentiment is mounted onto a Dienamic Mini Tab Foursome Die.

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!

Over at MMCS we have just had delivered a ton of new Dienamics!

Now you all probably know how popular these are but finally i got to play with some for my DT work. I have quite a few to show you over the next few days but first up is one using the Ring Me Die & Stamp Set!

I LOVE this set, it has sooo many fab sentiments in it - something i lack severely in my stash!
So i used the Ring Me Die & Stamp Set (we do have more on the way, just email us & we can reserve one for you), Dienamics Photo Corners, Teresa Collins Papers, Bakers Twine & Jewels.
It would have looked better if i had 3d'd it but i ran out of foam pads at home, typical!!

This is actually the first time i have coloured these animals with copics! I have to admit i have cased this card here for the design but changed a few bits, such fab inspiration!

I do struggle with mens cards as it seems we all do but this stamp it makes it a lil bit easier! I really wanna get the one in the double decker too, i love it!
The papers are from Papermania and the letters are the Dienamics By The Letters die. The flags were made using fabby Bunting Stamps from Stamposaurus. I also added a few pearls here and there, simples really!
