Reveal wheel gaming fun

Hello lovely people,

Friday...Friyay!!

So that means a Dies to Die For DT card and I finally had time to play with my Lawn Fawn reveal wheel dies to make this fun card for my nephew.


I've used a fab Lawn Fawn stamp set for the little scene because he does love his gaming...well, he's a 13 year old boy so what do you expect?!


I stamped three words on the reveal wheel and then added die cut numbers for the age.


This was pretty straightforward to put together and it does work beautifully...and of course it's just soooooo much fun to spin the wheel and see what pops into the aperture :-)

Big birthday balloon

Hello lovely people,

I've been doing a little die cutting for my Dies to Die For DT card this week, using one of the recent MFT sentiment dies, which I teamed up with a balloon edge die from a blueprints set.  This particular blueprint set is currently out of stock, but you could also cut the balloon shape by hand, or use a circle die and add the little piece at the bottom.


I die cut the balloon shape from purple stripy card, then taped the words in place where I wanted them before die cutting them.  I removed the letters but made sure to keep all the little bits from the centres of letters like the B.  I added some twine before attaching the balloon piece to a square of white card so I would have a backing to attach the letters to.  I die cut the words again from silver glitter card and inlaid them in the spaces, popping the purple centres back in where necessary.


Once again, I've made this design in a few different colours...with girl and boy options!

Love birds

Hello lovely people,

 I'm coming over all romantic with my Dies to Die For DT card today, which is actually pretty appropriate given that it's my wedding anniversary on Saturday!

Romantic card using MFT Birds of a Feather

I love all the cute elements from this MFT die set and how you can make cards for lots of occasions with them.  I originally sat down to make a new home card but this happened instead!

Romantic card using MFT Birds of a Feather

I coloured the birds, leaves and hearts with Distress Oxides.

I inked the birds after they were die cut so I could give them a little bit of an ombre finish, but for the leaves and hearts I just inked a piece of white card then die cut from that.
