'Serena'

Hello my lovelies just popping in to share with you my Dies to Die For card for this week.  As usual all the links are below. 

For my card I got to play with the sweetest fairy from Little Darlings Rubber Stamps - From the Hollow collection called 'Serena' and coloured her up with my copics.  I took my colour inspiration from the Websters Pages 'Parkdrive' paper pack and this is a beautiful collection of papers and are a lovely quality to work with but I seem to have managed to cover the majority of them up but trust me they're gorgeous.



Copics List

Face/Body:  E000, E11, E13, R20, R30
Hair:  W1, W3, W5, W7
Clothes:  R12, R14, R17/ G21, G24, G28

Okay folks time for me to love you and leave you.  Thank you for taking the time to pop in and hope you enjoy the rest of your week.

You're Amazing!

Hello my lovelies a very quick pop in from me today to share my Dies to Die For dt card with you all.  I have made a card that is a tad out of my comfort zone as there's no colouring, designer paper or ribbon involved but I do love how it turned out and I think it's a good thing to challenge yourself to do something a little different from your norm occasionally.

For my card I used the 'Gingham Background' stamp from My Favourite Things which is a lovely big stamp to work with and stamped up beautifully and teamed this up with one of the sentiments from the My Favourite Things 'Banner Greetings' set and used the matching Die-namics 'Banner Greetings' die to cut out the sentiment which makes things a whole lot easier.  I then layered this up on to a die cut heart made using Nellie's Multi Frames 'Heart' set which is actually on offer over in the store.  Anyway, let me show you the outcome.



I would like to enter my card into the challenge over at Stamping Sensations which this month is 'Dies and Punches.

Okay, that's all from me today folks I hope you have had a good start to your week.  Thank you for popping in.

Take care.

Woodland Winter

Hello my lovelies, I've been off the grid for a few weeks which I've enjoyed very much but did find it difficult not to hop on to the old computer and catch up with what everyone's been up to.  We had a lovely Christmas very busy but a good busy and it always amazes me how quick the time goes.

So anyway, I know you've all probably had enough of anything Christmas related but Tracy at Dies to Die for sent me the most cutest set of stamps and as my Christmas stash was still out all over my craft room I couldn't resist playing with them.  The stamp set is 'Woodland Winter' by Taylored Expressions and you get such a fab choice to play with and if you look on the shop website here there is even a set of matching dies you can use.  I kept my card really simple I paper pieced the tree from a couple of sheets from the paper pad 'December Documented' by Simple Stories, coloured up the cute little squirrel with my copics and stamped out one of the sentiments in the stamp set.  Such a simple card but I love it.



Challenges I would like to enter:-

Creative Inspirations  -  Christmas/New Year

Simon Says Stamp  -  anything goes


Okay so that's all from me today.  I hope you had a lovely Christmas and wishing you all the very best for a happy and healthy New Year.

Take care.
