Father's Day Chick

Hiya :)

This week over at Stamping Bella we are 'celebrating' some of the 'older' stamps. I got the urge to play with Father's Day Chick and I didn't fight it. Despite this level of forethought now, I suspect I will still be caught out when I need to produce three Father's Day cards out of thin air in June!

UK Peeps, you can get your Bella Fix at Dies to Die For :)

Fairy Gifts For You

Morning :)

Time for a new release from Whimsy Stamps and this one's a corker Peeps! I'm playing with Fairy Gifts For You. What's not to love, right?

I decided to colour her in monotone and I have a Step by Step up at Copic Marker Europe, if you are interested. This card also ties in with the new Challenge at Copic UK... Anything Goes with Optional Monotone. You know how I like to make my cards work for me.

UK Peeps, you will be able to get this fairy, along with the rest of the Whimsy Stamps Release from Dies to Die For later in the month. In the meantime, if you are quick, there is 15% off at DtDF until midnight today... go, go, go!

The chick who was a lamb

Hiya :)

This week at Stamping Bella, we are showcasing the cheeky chicks. They are such a fun bunch of chaps!

Little Lion

Hiya :)

We've been out on the sledge all morning so I think a significantly large hot choklit is now in order! With cream. And marshmallows. Ok, I might have eaten all the marshmallows already...

Anyway. I thought I'd share a little something I made the other day. It might just be class prep, but then again, it might not ;) I've used a fab dies from the new Whimsy Stamps Release. It's from a set called Envelope Edgers. They might just feature quite a lot in upcoming makes.

Hey Peeps :)

Well, I don't know where this week went, but went it did.

At Stamping Bella, we are giving the Stuffies some love. As you may have noticed, Harry here is my fave, I have coloured him many, many times. I thought I ought to do something different with him, so I turned him into a panda. Sorted!

Talking of Dies to Die For, UK Peeps, you can get your Stamping Bella fix from Tracy. Talking of Stamping Bella (I do love a seemless link!), this week, we are going vintage. No, not in style, but we are using an older stamp. I've chosen Mason Jar of Flowers. And yellow. I love yellow!

Cardinal

Hi Everyone :)

What happened to January?!

So, the beginning of February means time for a new release from Whimsy Stamps. This month, we welcome Jennifer Dove to the team of talented illustrators. This is Cardinal. Isn't he gorgeous?

I have to fess up. I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to birds, so I used the colours from the package as a guide. Sometimes it's good to push yourself a little out of your comfort zone. Makes it easier when you do it again ;)

UK Peeps, the February Release will be available at Dies to Die For, shortly.

Love Backdrop

Hi Everyone :)

This week at Stamping Bella, we're featuring the Backdrops Collection. I guess I was feeling lovey lovey when I chose and did this. But I also wanted to give the Love Backdrop space to be gorgeous on it's own. So, I just gave it a sentiment and called it cooked!

Thinkingofyouabella

Morning :)

A quickie from me today as I am busy packing for my first Copic Classes of the year at Merriott in Somerset. Excited!

Friday means time for some Stamping Bella Loveliness. This week, we are going vintage. But not vintage in styley, vintage in that we are showcasing 'older' stamps.

You've probably noticed that Thinkingofyouabella is one of my fave's. I gave her a frosty blue look in December, but before I decided to that, I had started her as a blonde. I'm not one to chuck away a half coloured image, so her she is!

UK Peeps, you can get your Stamping Bella goodies from Dies to Die For.

Penguin Tree

Hiya :)

Are you getting back into the swing of things after Christmas? Our Daniel went back to school and got sent home two hours later due to a burst water pipe. I don't think he was too devastated by that!

So, first Friday of the month means time for a new Stamp of the Month at Stamping Bella. This month, if you buy Winter Backdrop direct from Stamping Bella, you will getting a whopping 20% off.



I decided I would team up the Winter Backdrop with Chick Tree. After I had fun turning Sweaty Chicks into Sweaty Penguins last year... OMG, no, in December 2016! I thought I would do the same with Chick Tree. I don't mind telling you, it was fiddly ;)

Happy New Year Everyone :)

I hope you had a lovely restful Christmas break.

So, the beginning of January means time for new release from Whimsy Stamps. This is a particularly gorgeous release and I am very excited to say FaDoodles Too hits the store!

Ironically, I used FaDoodles on this card with the new Flower Fairy. But I have another creation to share in a few days...

But for now, I absolutely love the new fairies that have been released this month. This is Flower Fairy, coloured on kraft card Lovely, isn't she? UK Peeps, you will be able to get this release from Dies to Die For in a couple of weeks.

31 Nights of Halloween

What's this all about then?!

Over on the Whimsy Stamps Blog, we're having a 31 Nights of Halloween Event. Can you believe we are on Night 15 already? No, me neither. And how spookily fabulous have the projects been so far? You need to check them out!

So, enough of the natter. How do you fancy winning five digis of your choice? All you need to do is leave a comment on my post on the Whimsy Stamps Blog and we will select a random winner from there. Easy! You have until 30 October to enter and winners will be posted on the Whimsy Stamps Blog, on 31 October.

How cute is this little witch? She's from the Friends Till the End Stamp Set by the amazing Deb Davis. (I met her at the Whimsy Stamps Retreat last weekend and she is 'such' a cool girl.) I love that she (the witch, not Deb!) looks like she has had one too many of whatever it is that witches sip by the pool, but still managed to slap on some lippy. Go girl!

I doodled my spider webs. Clearly I also had one too many of whatever it is that witches sip by the pool, because there are cobweb doodles included in this stamp set too ;)
