Hello lovelies!I have a Valentine's Day card to share with you this week using the "Stud Puffin" stamp set from Lawn Fawn!  I started by stamping my images using my Misti stamping tool and Gina K Amalgam Jet Black ink. I coloured my images using my alcohol markers, added highlights and details using a white gel pen before fussy cutting them out. I used Lawn Fawn's "Outside In Stitched Hearts Stackables" and "Lacy Heart Stackables" die sets to cut out two of the medium hearts from white card stock. I set my images and the lacy heart die cut to...

Hello lovelies!Now with the holidays over we can sometimes start to feel a little lost, not knowing what to really create for next! I've decided to start on some Valentine's Day/Love themed cards to get over the holiday blues. Starting with the adorable "Sending Love" stamp set from Waffle Flower! I cut two panels from white card stock using the second largest of Mama Elephant's "Basic Rectangles" Creative Cuts. In one of the white panels I cut a heart window using the medium die from Lawn Fawn's "Outside In Stitched Hearts Stackables" dies, I'll be using this window as a...

Well Hello and Welcome, Its that time of year when we start going back to our usual routines. No more festiveness. It's a shame those morning lie in's, are so good. Especially on dark cold mornings.

Hello lovelies!This week I'm sharing a simple card using Mama Elephant's "Oh Puppy Tree" stamp set! I'm absolutely in love with this set, all of the puppies are adorable and it's easy to mass produce simple cards with, perfect for the holiday season! I started by stamping out my image on white card stock, I used my Misti stamping tool and Gina K's Amalgam Jet Black ink. With larger images it's often difficult to get a clear, crisp image with stamping one time so the Misti comes in handy to keep your card in place while you stamp it again....
