Gnome one like you

Hello lovely people,

Merry Friday all!  I'm popping in with my Dies to Die For DT card and this time I'm using some of the new goodies from Sunny Studio.

I actually squealed with delight when I saw these gnomes because they are so utterly adorable...and they come with punny sentiments too...I can't even!

I am also TOTALLY in love with the 6x6 paper pads in beautiful rainbow colours; I think I bought one of each pattern because you can never EVER have too many stripes, polka dots and gingham in your stash!

I stamped the gnome, then masked him off and stamped the mushroom trio so he could be sitting on top of the large mushroom.

A little extra grass at the bottom finished off my scene.  I could have added clouds but to be honest I decided it liked it just as it was.

Shake it!

Hello lovely people,

I'm popping in with my Dies to Die For DT card...and it seems to be cocktail o'clock!


I used a stitched rectangle die to create the patterned paper layer and also to create the white square layer by die cutting the 2 ends of the square; you don't need the bit in the middle as it's covered!


If you love shaker cards but hate the faff (YEP!) then these MFT dies with co-ordinating shaker pouches are a must-have!

I've used some pretty sequins and beads in the shaker pouch along with the tiny frosty ice cubes...they are so cute!


Is anyone else feeling thirsty now?!

Rainbow baby shower card

Hello lovely people,

I'm sneaking in an extra Dies to Die For DT card again so I could share this cute card I made for a friend's baby shower.

Handcrafted rainbow coloured baby shower card (using MFT bundle of baby clothes dienamics and welcome baby stamp set)

Rainbow paper seemed like a great choice since we don't know yet if it's a boy or a girl...either way the laundry WILL be super cute!

You may know that I have a bit of a thing for Nuvo drops and I think these pretty translucent Nuvo jewel drops might just be my faves; they are so subtly beautiful :-)

Donut treats

Hello lovely people,

I have another very special card to share for my Dies to Die For DT post today...it's my Dad's birthday card :-)

Now, it's not that he's especially into donuts but it can be hard to find images that work well for men and I hoped he would love the fun images as much as I did!

The sentiment is pretty funny but also pretty apt because this is a man who has done marathons, triathlons and iron man, and just this year completed his first ultra marathon!
So it's fair to say that he's not your average 65 year old and looking very good for his years!

I've gone for lovely bright colours and I always include red as it's his favourite colour.

Don't those donuts look totally scrummy?!
