You levelled up!

Hello lovely people,

I'm running a teeny bit late with my Dies to Die For DT card today - oops!

This is a very special one as it's Dr Hubby's birthday card and oooh, look at that big number!

I bought this stamp set to use for birthday cards for my nephews who all love gaming, but it was also perfect for my lovely Dr. Hubby :-)

So, this is the two of us playing games together, which admittedly we don't do all that often because I'm too busy crafting!

Hello lovely people,

Normal service has been resumed and I'm back to my regular Friday post for Dies to Die For - I guess I've just been a busy bee this past week!

Well, I had a play earlier in the week with the little MFT fish from the latest release, so now it's time for a bigger fish!

This little shark is really quite adorable I think!

Unicorns and rainbows

Hello lovely people,

What can I say, I'm back on yet another day that isn't usually my day at Dies to Die For - lol!  And yes, I'll be back tomorrow as well, but I've just got so many cards I want to share with you!

I fully admit that I have a serious unicorn addiction but how could I not add these guys to my collection...they are just awesome!

I was so in love with these unicorns that I made a co-ordinating bookmark with one of the other images...oh yes, unicorns definitely rock!

I created the spotty background with a stencil and Distress Oxides, and then stamped the sentiment straight onto the bookmark, which is an MFT die.  I coloured and die cut the unicorn then glued him on top and added a couple of stamped musical notes.

Hello lovely people,

You may have spotted that it's Tuesday so not my usual day for sharing a Dies to Die For DT card but I had something I wanted to share with you...and it wouldn't wait until Friday!

I don't know if you remember my volcano card from a couple of months ago (HERE if you missed it) but I knew I would find more uses for the slider mechanism...

and the reveal...

Well, this was just meant to be...that frog and that slider mechanism are the perfect match!

You know what else is perfect?  My timing, because the volcano die set which includes the slider mechanism is on offer this week at Dies to Die For (see list at end for product links) so it's a great time to snap it up!  And I can honestly say that I didn't know it would be on offer when I made this card; sometimes these things just happen :-)

It's probably not quite as much fun seeing it on screen as in real life, but it still makes me smile to see the cute froggie jump!

Here he goes again...

Something fishy...

Hello lovely people,

Another working week almost finished so that must mean another Dies to Die For DT card from me!

There's been something fishy going on in my craft room this week as the June MFT release included several fab underwater themed stamp sets.  They all co-ordinate perfectly so of course I just had to have them all ;-)

I've given these 3 gorgeous little fishies an inky background to swim across, using my Distress Oxides.  The fish are all from the same set, which also has LOADS of other cute fish to choose from :-)

I discovered that stitched 'hillside' borders also make fabulous wavy edges for that ocean feel - lol!
