Lava-ly!

Hello lovely people,

I have a Dies to Die For DT card for you today and brace yourself because there's not a Copic in sight!

How could I resist the chance to make punny cards with this fab new volcano die set from MFT and the co-ordinating sentiment stamps?!

I also saw this as a great opportunity to play with my Distress Oxides to make the background and also to colour the die cut volcano and the foliage.

I did use some slightly pearlescent red card for the lava but that's only because I don't have any red Distress Oxides - lol!

If I've tempted you with any of the lovely supplies I've used then you can go straight to the individual products via the links at the end of my post or just pop over to Dies to Die For and have a little browse around!

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a lovely day...and a fabulous Easter!

Belated chicks

Hello lovely people,

I have a Dies to Die For DT card for you today and I just couldn't resist making another card with those adorable chicks!

It's a really good job MFT include such great sentiments for belated cards as I always seem to need them - lol!

I am also a huge fan of the MFT Blueprint die sets so I bought myself another one a few weeks back and couldn't wait to try it out.  I actually can't believe I didn't have this one as it is unbelievably versatile, but hey, I have it now!

CELEBRATE!

Hello lovely people,

I didn't have a Dies to Die For DT card to share last week as I was on my holibobs and am so disorganised so didn't manage to schedule it before I went - oops!

I had an amazing week skiing in Austria with Dr. Hubby, my parents and some friends; it was so funny to hear of all the snow in the UK while we were away!  We did have extreme temperatures of -25 degrees in Austria but managed to cope and had one of our best week's skiing ever I reckon :-)

Ok, so I'll get onto my card and it's a simple but very cute and colourful affair...

I just had to have the adorable birthday chicks from the February MFT release and have plans for lots more cards with them...if I can just find the time - lol!

Now, what do you do when you make a design you really like?  Make another one in different colours of course!

So, which do you like best?!
