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!

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!
