I like how you roll

Hello lovely people,

Happy Friday to you all!

I have a Dies to Die For DT card for you today.

I may have already mentioned that I have the extremely nice problem of having sooooo many new MFT goodies that I hardly know what to use next!

My faves are always the cute critters though, so I decided on a hedgehog for this card, and it might be the speediest card I've ever made as it just all fell into place really quickly.

I had a few ideas about how to colour the hedgehog but settled on a flicking type of colouring to try to capture the spikiness and I think it worked ok.

I could have stamped him direct onto the white circle but hey, I have the dies so I am going to use them!  It's nice to add a little dimension by popping him on foam pads too.

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 thumbnails at the end of my post or just pop over to Dies to Die For and have a little browse around!

FYI: there's a brand new MFT release available, but I take no responsibility for the temptation you may feel if you go and take a peek - lol!
I may already have given in to temptation myself ;-)

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,

Birthday hedgies

Hello lovely people,

I do love a lazy crafty weekend!  It's been pretty exciting too as I have been working with the next lot of LOTV images to be released and I will be able to show you really soon :-)

In the meantime, I thought I'd share a LOTV Design Team card that I made using some of the new trio stamps.

This is a triple circle card and the sections are held together with pearl brads, so they can swing over each other to close it up.

I used stitched die cut circles and scalloped circles to give a bit of interest because you can't add a lot of 3D embellishments otherwise the sections won't swing closed.
My design is pushing it a bit to be honest and even closed it's quite bulky - lol!

I decided that die cut flowers with Nuvo Drop centres would be perfect to add a little finishing touch and I added extra Nuvo Drops around the flowers just for good measure!

I hope you have all been having a good weekend :-)

LOTV Hedgehogs for you!

Hello lovely people,

It's new release day at LOTV so I have another little DT make to tempt you ;-)

The digital images are now available with the rubber versions to follow very soon.  For my last sneak peek I used one of the vintage boys so this time I have used one of the super cute critter scenes.

All the animals are soooo cute but I found myself especially drawn to the little hedgehogs.  I don't think I have done much hedgehog colouring before but these were really fun to colour!

Are you tempted yet?!
