I hope you are all enjoying the Paper Smooches themed week this week, if you haven't seen the start of the creations this week then head over to the My Mum's Craft Shop Blog. We have quite a few different Paper Smooches Stamp Sets in stock at the moment so it was pretty hard to choose which one to use..but i thought i would go for Nine Lives...

Paper Smooches Stamps are perfect for clean and simple cards as the designs are so cute they often don't need to much else. I kept the layout of this card pretty simple as i just the image and wanted it to stand out. The stamps are Nine Lives and the papers are Echo Park Love Story. I created the bow with Dienamics Dainty Bows (back in stock soon).

Handmade With Love

Today i have a fun & fast project i made for Studio 12 at Polka Doodles. This is actually a valentines bookmark i made although it could actually be for any occasion really.

I designed the whole project on Craft Artist using various elements from Picknix Volume 1. As it is a bookmark it needed to be pretty flat as i am one of those people who hates bent pages in books, i like them all flat nice and new! So all i did was print it out as it was then layer it onto another paper. I then added some pink twine to give it a more homemade rustic feel to it.

Hope you like my project today :)

Silhouette Flowers

Today i have a card i made for Dreamees.

This nice and simple card features some of the fabby new stamps...

I created the background using a few Memento Ink Pads and i applied them 

using my Dreamweaver brushes. I wanted a striking bold look so i simply stamped

the Silhouette Flower Border twice in black ink. I then stamped the sentiment that comes with that stamp set. The butterfly is from the Silhouette Butterfly Stamp Set. They coordinate perfectly together. I mounted the completed piece onto black card and onto a white card with a dash of ribbon.

Thanks for popping by today and i will be back tomorrow :)
