This card features the fablous new Pigs Ink Blankets Stamp Set. How cute is that!!! I love how fun and different this stamp set is - and perfect for non Christmas too, especially get well soon cards. I created a sweet scene for this one. I masked off the bottom panel and blended some Tea Dye & Pumice Stone Distress Oxide Inks. I then created the blended bit above using Mustard Seed, Fossilzed Amber and Spiced Marmalade. I stamped and coloured all my images with Copics and cut them out. I added some glitter onto the stars and added all the images with foam pads. To finish I added a stamped sentiment.

Christmouse

Good Morning crafty friends. Today is Day 3 of the previews at Clearly Besotted. The new release is only a few days away and I hope you are enjoying the sneak peeks so far. Here is today's card...

For this card I used the new Clearly Besotted Squeak It's Christmas Stamp Set. There are so many beautiful sentiments in this set it's hard to use what to use! I coloured all he images with Copic Pens then cut them out. To create the background I used my MFT Sun Ray Stencil along with some Tumbled Glass, Blueprint Sketch & Stormy Skies Distress Oxide Inks. I used my Lawn Fawn Slimline Simple Hillside Borders Die to create the snowhill with some white card. I stamped a sentiment directly onto it. I then added a stamped and layered sentiment to finish.

Merry Christmas Slimline

Good morning my lovely crafters! Today I am over on the SugarPea Designs Blog with my latest card. This time I decided to create a Christmas slimline card but using non traditional Christmas colours...

I started off by creating my blended background using Seedless Preserves, Kitsch Flamingo & Dried Marigold Distress Oxide Inks. I then splattered the background with shimmer spray and white ink. Once dry I added white snow hill to the bottom of the panel. I used the Merry Christmas from the SugarPea Designs Oh So Jolly Sentiments Stamp Set and stamped it directly onto the panel. I used the SugarPea Designs Hey Winter Stamp Set for all my images. I stamped them, coloured them with Copics and cut them out. I arranged all the images on the card and fixed them in place with foam pads. To finish I added a few pearls to the sky.


Supplies;
SugarPea Designs Stamps - Hey Winter, Oh So Jolly Sentiments
Distress Oxide Inks - Seedless Preserves, Kitsch Flamingo, Dried Marigold

Coffee First

Hello crafty friends! Are you feeling Christmassy yet? We have just put up all our decs so I'm feeling a bit more festive. Today I am sharing my latest card for Time For Tea Designs. This time I went for a fun coffee themed card...

I started off by blending a little Gathered Twigs Distress Ink onto a white panel. I added some hand-drawn borders to create a frame. I then splattered some ink with water onto the panel. I stamped & coloured the coffee cups from the Coffee Lover Stamp Set. I coloured them with Copics then cut them out using the Coffee Lover Die Set. I added them onto the panel with foam pads and added some twine to the bottom of the panel. I mounted it onto brown card then onto a card base. I added a stamped and die cut sentiment then added some Clear Drops to finish.

Doodlebug Shadow Boxes

Hi crafty peeps! Today I thought I would share some sweet boxes that I made using Doodlebug Designs Collections that were featured in Crafts Beautiful. These are actually little shadow boxes that you can use as Christmas tree decorations or just little hanging decs. I love how cute all Doodlebug products are...

For these boxes I created a box template to create the boxes that measured 8cm square. I then die cut a window in the front of each box using Time For Tea Designs Square Label Dies, Circle Dies and MFT Square Dies. I used Doodlebug Santa Claus Is Coming To Town Petite Prints Papers and coordinating card to create the box, outer and inner panels. I punched a hole in the top and added a ribbon handle. I added glitter card inside each panel to create a snow effect. I decorated the inside and outside of the boxes with Doodlebug Icon Stickers & Mini Stickers.


Supplies;
Doodlebug Santa Claus Is Coming Town Collection - Icon Stickers, Mini Stickers, Petite Prints Papers
Time For Tea Designs Dies - Circles, Square Labels
MFT Die-namics Dies - Square STAX
Coloured Card
