WOW!! 

Now time for some inspiration? Yes!

I took the opportunity to print out my digi at 5" and go to town with the colouring (because I didn't need any extra room for a sentiment). Look at all of that hair! This image is one of the fundraisers over at Simply Betty Stamps (on Facebook). This lady is from the Elegant Beauty set. I adore her.

I coloured her up to match some subtle papers from First Edition and kept the embellishments pretty minimal (for me) with a simple doily and double bow with button!

I hope you likey, and it inspires you to create a card without a sentiment. These kinda creations are ideal to have in your stash, for at any given moment you can grab one, and add any sentiment you need to the inside. Quick and easy birthday card, or thank you card? Perfect!

That's all from me today. Be sure to stop by the Passion for ProMarkers blog and see what else my awesome teamies have in store for you today! I do hope you join us! xx

Easel, does it!

Yoohoooo! :) It's a pleasure to have you pop by. Welcome to another Tuesday! Next time you spot me posting for Passion for ProMarkers, it's gonna be MAY! How do you feel about that?! Time is running away with us.. Hah!

Time for a new challenge over at 

Passion for ProMarkers

The theme this week is set by the amazing Lou! 

Nice and easy.. EASEL CARDS!!

Given, I went a little OTT with embellishments, and layers, and papers.. but hey. An easel card is nearly an ornament after all.. kinda! ;)

I used a gorgeous image from Simply Betty Stamps - I cannot get enough of these images lately! They're an absolute dream to colour! I paired this little lily lady with some waaay older papers from First Edition that I fall in love with each time I get them out the paper drawer.

I created a bunch of my own card and vellum flowers for this card, as well as using a bunch of die cuts, buttons, a mini wooden spool aaaaaand some ribbon. Wow!! A lotta, lotta stuff.

Hope you likey. xo

Dawwwwhhh, not HUSKIES!

'Cheeeaa. I loves them. This is one of my favourite images from all of my Christmas cards this year! 

This is from a topper sheet produced by The Hobby House from Mo Manning. 

I kept it suuuuuuper simple and only added a sentiment from Amy R Stamps and a strip of punched scalloped paper. 

Hope you likey. Thanks for stopping by. xo

Season's Greetings

Wednesday morning again, so it's time to share some inspiration using products you can pick up at My Mum's Craft Shop.

This week, Kitty challenged us to use 'Something Round' on our cards..

Naturally the first thing I reached for was the Winter Wreath die from MFT Die-Namics. 

I die cut four wreaths and layered them together to create more depth in the card. I die cut some buttons using the Die-Namics Button Quartet dies, only using the smallest button, to decorate my wreath with some dramatic black cardstock. I also added some punched stars which I covered with Gunmetal Stickles, some real buttons and a matt black brad I found when I was clearing my desk! ;) Aren't they the best embellishments? LOL!! Oh, and before I forget, I used the Let is Snowflake die set from MFT too, to create some little vellum snowflakes to layer under some stars.

I sewed the real and die cut buttons onto the card with some twine, because I just can't help myself.

Ohh, my paper. I almost forgot about the paper. The papers are from the delicious First Edition Silent Night pack. The thing I love about this paper collection is how many neutral colours there are, with just the slight pop of blue every now and then. It makes them perfect for any kind of winter occasion and allows you to customise your card with a more bold colour of your choice!! 

That's all from me today guys. Enjoy your Wednesday. xo

Christmas is Coming to MMCS

.. can you even believe the title of this post? I SURE CAN'T!!

Regardless, I am MORE than happy to recieve a push in the direction of making my Christmas cards. It's gotta be started sooner or later, right? I hate the stress of rushing towards the end of November, and being totally overwhelmed with the number you have to make!!

Onwards I say, let's have Christmas in August!!

I used some SU! Crumb Cake cardstock and scored a cardbase before taking some delicious papers from the new First Edition Silent Night paper stack. I die cut a bunch of My Favorite Things Winter Wreath from green and pale grey cardstock to layer up. I then die cut some buttons, a bow and some postage stamp edges (all from MFT) from Cherry Cobbler cardstock for embellishing. 

I then added some blue and pale yellow buttons with twine and added some faux stitching.

It looks quick and easy.. and it is. If you don't hand stitch all of the buttons on. What a FAFF!! I cannot help myself though. I hate the look of an 'empty' button, I think they look totally unfinished. So.. on I will trudge hand stitching/threading buttons! :) 

Thanks for stopping by today!

I hope I have encouraged you to get cracking with your Christmas cards. xo
