Birthday Bear... :)

Hi, I am stopping by on this sunny bank holiday Monday, with a quick post to show you this birthday card I made:

I have used the lovely 'Mini Bear' stamp from Lili of the valley, coloured with ProMarkers and mounted on dark brown cardstock, cut using Nestabilities. The sentiment tags are also from LOTV, stamped onto green linen card. The papers were from a magazine, twine and buttons from my stash :)

Sweet Stampin' Challenge - Dies and Doodles :)

Hi there :)

Earlier this week I was lucky enough to be asked to join the Sweet Stampin' Design team! I was thrilled with the news and obviously said yes! So here I am with my first DT card for Sweet Stampin' :)

The theme for this challenge is 'Dies and Doodles' - at first I was a little worried about the 'doodle' part- but I once I got started I really enjoyed it and found I became a bit 'doodle happy!'

Here is my card:

I have used a gorgeous image from Lili of the Valley, coloured with ProMarkers. The papers are from Echo Park (Springtime) and Craft Creations, mounted on dark brown cardstock. The main image and mount are cut using Nestabilities. The sentiment and Card Candi are from Craftwork cards. 'Dream' sticker and gem from my stash.

This challenge is sponsored by our monthly sponsor Joanna Sheen- one lucky winner will win a £10 gift voucher to spend in the online store :)

We also have another sponsor for this weeks challenge:

Prize: £10 gift voucher

Some Little Christmas Cards...

Hi, I thought I would pop by with a quick post to show you some quick Christmas cards I made using Lily of the Valley die cut images.

As you can see, the cards are really very simple. I cut the image using standard square nestabilities and the red card using Lacey Squares nesabilities. I have added Stickles glitter glue to the images and on some of them I have added some small gems from my stash :)

I made a set of five of these little cards altogether and I am very pleased with them... very simple to make yet effective too!

Thanks for taking the time to look at my cards :) x
