Jar of Hearts

Hello lovely people,

I know I don't often share more than once a week on here but last week I had a whole day playing with my new Stamping Bellas so I have a sneaky extra Dies to Die For DT card for you :-)

I can't tell you how many fabulous cards I have seen using vellum strips for the sentiment and I always think 'I'm going to try that'...and FINALLY I have tried it :-)

Oh, and I LOVE it...so yes, you'll probably see more like this from now on - lol!

This image was good practice for skirt pleats and I totally copied the idea of the faded bit of the dress behind the glass jar from the lovely Elaine's colouring of the image on the packet - thanks Elaine!

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 links below or just pop over to Dies to Die For and have a little browse around!

Thanks for popping in and have a gorgeous day!

Wing-flapping happy!

Hello lovely people,

So, it's 2019 and I am super excited for a lovely new year of crafting!

I've already placed several orders for new crafting stash (!) but my Dies to Die For DT card this week is using some stamps from the December MFT release, which I thought maybe I should use before I move on to the January release - lol!

Just for something a little bit different I thought I'd colour the owls in pastel shades and I think they look pretty cute!

For once I didn't pick out the papers before I coloured the owls, but I found just the right shades to match - yay!

Garden fairy

Hello lovely people,

I am running a little bit late with my Dies to Die For DT card today but I think this gorgeous little fairy might be worth the wait!

I couldn't resist creating a little layered scene for her and that meant I could include the darling little mushrooms too!

Bloomin' Birthday

Hello lovely people,

I am sooooo happy that it's Friday and am looking forward to catching up with friends tonight and tomorrow and then a chilled out Sunday.

 I do love Springtime with all the pretty flowers and brighter days and I think this is reflected in my Dies to Die For DT card this week!

The stamp set I used has some lovely patterned welly boots but I chose the plain version for my card so that I could stamp them on the stripy DP...and ooooh, I would LOVE a pair of wellies like these!

The sentiment is also from the set and I've tucked it into a memo pin, then used flowers to cover the sharp end.

I've been mixing and matching MFT papers again, so the chevron and stripy boots are from the Sweet Celebration pad, the plaid is from (unsurpisingly!) the Plaid patterns merry & bright pad, and the green spotty is from the Lucky Prints pad.  Phew, that's a lot of pads...but isn't it fab how well they go together?

Oh, and the leaves are from a Lawn Fawn pad called Let's Polka in the meadow, and the flowers are scraps from my stash!

I wish you all a fabulous weekend whatever you are getting up to :-)
