The Greeting Farm 'Together Anywhere'

Hello folks just popping in to share my Dies to Die For dt make.

A couple of weeks ago I used The Greeting Farm 'Together Anywhere' stamp set and made a girly card so I decided to use the same stamp set but use the male image and make a masculine card this time.  I used a sheet of designer paper from the Echo Park For the Record 2 'Tailored' paper pad and based my image colour around this.  Added a little ribbon and string and a cute tie charm and my card was done.  I don't do male cards very often but I do love how this one has turned out.

Spring Bringer

Good morning folks a quick stop by from me to share my Dies to Die For dt card with you and I thought I would bring a little bit of spring with me in the hope that it's soon around the corner.  A little heads up too peeps Tracy has a Valentine's offer at the moment over in the store of Free postage until midnight tonight!!

I inked up an older Whimsy Stamps Wee image 'Spring Bringer' but she is still one of my all time favourites.  I coloured her up to compliment the oh so gorgeous Echo Park For the Record 2 'Tailored' papers which are actually on offer at the moment too over in the store.  I decided to mat them onto black card stock just to make the colours pop.

'Together Anywhere'

Hello my lovelies and a very happy Sunday to you all.

Gosh it's been a few days since I was able to share anything with you but it's been a tad on the busy side at home these past few days/weeks but I'm really pleased I managed to sneak on and share my Dies to Dies For dt card with you for today.

I have a sweet little card to show you which I have made using an adorable image from The Greeting Farm 'Together Anywhere' rubber stamp set and my sentiment is also part of the set.  I teamed her up with some beautiful designer papers from My Mind's Eye Record It called 'Charmed' and coloured her up using copics to compliment the papers.  I kept it fairly simple by following a fabby sketch which I'll link below and just adding a few flowers and some leaves cut using Die-namics 'Royal Leaves' die set.

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.

Sentiment:  My Favourite Things 'Banner Greetings' set

Background stamp:  My Favourite Things 'Gingham background'

Dies:  Die-namics 'Banner Greetings', Nellies Multiframes 'Heart'

Versafine 'Onyx Black' ink pad

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.

Sentiment:  Taylored Expressions 'Woodland Winter'

Paper:  Simple Stories 'December Documented'

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.

A Tiddly Inks Christmas!

Happy Sunday my lovelies I hope you've been having an enjoyable weekend.  Mine has been rather swift in passing but a good one nonetheless! 

Anyway, I'm just popping in to share with you a little bit of Tiddly Inks goodness this evening with my Dies to Dies For dt make.  I must say I rather like these cute little stamps and I love the fact that this image comes with a few sentiments, one of which I've used on my card, and a couple of additional little images too and they stamp beautifully!  My image is 'Willow Christmas Fairy' and she has been inked up with Memento 'Tuxedo Black' and coloured with my copics (all links are below).  Of course no Christmas card of mine would be complete without a little bit of sparkle so I have added some Glamour Dust 'Crystal' to the fur trims and of course her wings and voila my card was complete.  I rather like this clean and simple look so I think the remainder of my Christmas cards for friends will be like this one as time is quickly running out.

'Laughter is the best medicine'

Good evening folks, a bit of a late pop in from me, but I thought I would do it now anyway otherwise come tomorrow it will go right out of my head!  

So I am here to share with you my Dies to Die For make and I've I had a little change from making Christmas cards and made a card just a little out of my comfort zone as there is not an image or copic in sight!  I used some gorgeous paper from The Scrapcake 'My Private Happiness' pad and boy this is just beautiful so pretty and just decided to team it up with a sentiment from a Paper Smooches set called 'Uplifters' and thought the sentiment and paper complimented each other lovely.  I added a little ribbon tied into a big bow and popped a Prima crystal on top for a little bling.

Papers:  The Scrapcake 'My Private Happiness'

Sentiment:  Paper Smooches 'Uplifters'

Prima Say it in Crystals - yellow

Before I go I would like to enter this into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge which this week the theme is 'anything goes'.

Okay, time for me to go I have a coffee brewing and some catch up telly awaiting me along with a little crafting to finish the night off.

Take care.

A Christmas Bauble

Good evening my lovelies I hope you have been enjoying a great weekend.  We've had a good one here; a spot of baking, a little shopping, a bit of crafting and I even sneaked in a festive Costa - chocolate orange hot choccy and a cheeky mince tart mmmm!

Anyway, I'm here to share with you my Dies to Die For dt make for this week and yes once again it is Christmas related!  I've been spying a few baubles around blogland lately and decided to have a go myself.  The base has been cut from a leftover piece of mount board I had lurking around and a shape printed off the internet.  The cute little image I used is from Taylored Expressions and called 'Wishes on a Wire' and it was real easy to colour up with my copics - I just love those little robins!  The papers were my colour inspiration and are Bazzill 'Countdown to Christmas' so love the rich colours in this set.  A little ribbon and lace, a few flowers and lots of Stickles and my bauble was finished.
