sending smiles across the miles!


It was time to get a little inky today to make this chilly card.  

A whole host of wonderfulness helped create this wintery scene and I couldn't be more pleased.  I could have so easily turned it into a one layer card with a bit of masking and I see that now, maybe I'll have another go when I have a bit more time.

I hope you love what I have created.

My Cookies!...yummy!


 

OMG! Christmas is coming!

I've made two slimline cards today using the newly released stamp and die sets from Whimsy Stamps.

It's the time of the year that I give in to all temptations and have a cupboard well stocked of chocolates, cookies, crips and Mince Pies!!  We've all got our favourites in this house so things do get marked up as 'my cookies'!  Did you see what I did there?  I love how versatile the word dies are.

I hope you love what I have created.

Spooky Halloween Birthday!

 


I loved making this card.  I didn't really know where I was going with it but using the Peeking Ghosts Die Set and combining them with the Goth Skulls background stamp, I do believe I created my own reveal background.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

 


The new mini release landed yesterday from Whimsy Stamps and let me tell you, it's as fun packed and on point as ever.  We are still hanging onto Autumn and Halloween but Christmas is on its way and we all have so much to start preparing for.

I, as always, will start with the very best of intentions and crack on with my Christmas cards but I'm fessing up now, I know I will never make enough and probably give up in a few weeks.  I'm like Dory in Finding Nemo, very easily distracted with all the other pretty things or in this case new releases!!
