Hugs & Kisses

It's time for a new challenge over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps today! 

**All You Need Is Love**

I used the adorable Cuthbert Cupid from Pollycraft. Had to. Look at him! Adorable!! I coloured him up using ProMarkers to match papers from Echo Park which I seem to have a total obsession with lately. I love the colour of his t-shirt. Anywho.

Yip. Echo Park paper, a whole load of Stampin' Up cardstock, Memory Box and MFT dies, paper flowers, sequins. All of that yummy goodness. I even used up a little crochet flower that I've been hoarding forever! ;) 2015 is the year to use up stash! 

I hope you find the time to pop over to Little Miss Muffet Stamps and join in with our last challenge of January 2015! xx

You are so nice.

Morning guys! I'm back on track (blog wise *I think*) and I'm back with the next instalment of Little Miss Muffet Stamps goodness! 

This time round I used the gorgeous Sugar 'n Spice Doll Sassafras. I love everything about this little girl. She's adorable, don't ya think? I coloured her with ProMarkers and FlexMarkers.

I coloured her up to match my papers from Echo Park. I paired her up with an Amy R sentiment stamped in Memento Rose Bud ink. I also added a bunch of paper flowers and leaves before adhering everything together and adding some clear rhinestones to finish it up.

Thank you for stopping by today! xx

Pile o' Presents

I know it's no longer Christmas, but I had to share this guy with you all!! 

Is he not the cutest little penguin? 

This is a pretty CAS card for me! No patterned paper, no ribbon. Just a bunch of die cutting, embossing and tonnes of gems. Love him. 

I'm on a bit of a downer today, as I'm back at work tomorrow. Not only that, but we have stock take too! Nightmare! Haah. xx

Hey Dude

I'm not even kidding, this is my very first post of 2015. On the 15th of the month. What a disgrace! LOL! I hope to catch up very soon, as I have a bunch of cards from the end of last year to share as well as upcoming DT work for the rest of the month. We'll see how I get on! 

Today I am sharing a card I created as part of Little Miss Muffet GDT for the month of January. I'll own up now, I totally missed the first week, I forgot to type up my post for last week, and now.. here we have arrived! LOL!!

I really wanted to kick off the year with some male cards. They are definitely something I enjoy making, but something my card pile tells you I don't make enough of. 

Here's Polka Dot Pals Tenn with those awesome braces he's rocking. I coloured him using ProMarkers and had another go at flicky hair using my FlexMarkers. I'm getting better, I think. I won't give up! ;)

I coloured him up to match some very cute papers I picked up at The Works a couple weeks ago. Apparently they're going into liquidation, which is sad - I have only just discovered they have a crafty section. Although, that probably isn't a bad thing. I need to start using stash not buying more.

Anywho. I added a bunch of layers which I roughed up with an edger tool, lots of dimension and bits and pieces of die cuts, ribbon and twine. I added a stamped sentiment as well as a couple buttons here and there before adhering it all to the card base. 

I hope you likey.

Thanks for stopping by today! xo

One of the reasons I haven't been blogging much is (as silly as it sounds) it's hard to type. During the winter I suffer really badly from keens (Google it, they're awful). It's like having a super super deep paper cut that never ever heals on the end of your finger. I have them on at least 4 fingers at a time. Enough whining, but yes, that's why. It hurts to type up blog posts. I'll troop on though. I've had a few messages about where I've disappeared to! ;) 

Make it Mini

Morning you lovely lot! 

Today marks my last make for the month of September as guest designer over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps! *sad face* *pet lip*

We have an awesome challenge for ya to join in with though.

MAKE IT MINI

We wanna see, ATCs, tiny little images, small boxes, anything your heart desires!

I just had to make a little keyring. These 'create your own' keyrings came into work a while ago now, and I picked up a couple.. because I could. With absolutely no idea what I was gonna do with them.

You know when things just click into place? ;)

I used the adorable Celeste Amberglow - Owl Always Love You.

I made her quite large and cropped her to size before I printed her out. I coloured her up using some of my fave colours - it's always fun to colour when you don't have any patterned papers to match! ;)

Thanks for stopping by today. It has been a blast creating weekly inspiration for you guys using Little Miss Muffet Stamps goodness! I hope you have enjoy my projects as much as me. Mwah! xo

Sweet Chester!

Good morning you lovely lot! It's Thursday, so that can only mean one thing.

Inspiration Thursday for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  

I used the adorable Sweet Chester to adorn a little treat bag I created using my Cameo! I thought he'd be perfect for a whole big bag of candy canes! I coloured him in traditional colours, with a green sweater - which I added to with some green brads through the vellum snowflakes.

Cutie patooti!!

Thanks for stopping by today guys.

Christmas Letters

Morning guys! Happy Thursday.

It's time for a new challenge over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps, and we have the best theme ever for ya! Anything Goes! :)

This little cutie has been coloured up since the beginning of August, and she has sat patiently waiting. I used a digi for my card, but this beauty is available in red rubber HERE.

Swings 'n Slides - Happy Mail.

I coloured her up in pretty neutral blues and beige and BAM with the red post box. This is just a lickle 5" card, so it didn't leave a lot of room for froofroo, although I still managed to squeeze some on.

I added a sentiment from Amy R Stamps which I embossed and cut using and Xcut die before adding it to my card with brads. The gorgeous organza ribbon and jewel button are from The Ribbon Girl, and I finished the design off with some vellum snowflakes and little red rhinestones.

Here's a close up of this cutie! I love her outfit. 

Thanks for stopping by today! xo

Little Miss Muffet Stamps Debut

Good morning you gorgeous lot! Can I just thank you all for the lovely comments you have all left me on my recent posts! :) It means an awful lot to me that you take the time out to stop by my blog and read my waffle. I hope my posts and projects inspire you all.

Today marks a very exciting day for me! Can I get a *oOoooOoo*

I've been scouted by the ridiculously talented Faye to guest for Little Miss Muffet Stamps for the month of September. Can I get a *yaaaaay* ;)

This is my first card for Inspiration Thursday! 

I used the adorable Jr. Hatter Abigail

I coloured her with my ProMarkers, but please don't ask me which colours I used. I wish I knew. I LOVE the colour of her hat, it matches the papers from Echo Park We Are Family collection perfectly but I never made of note of what I used. Not to worry. It's all about experimenting.

I added a sentiment from MFT which I stamped and heat embossed. I then raided my paper flowers box, as I knew I had some delicious lime green bad boys left to use up. I then die cut some flowers from pink cardstock and layered them up.

As always I finished off with some brads, buttons and sequins. Job done.

I'm over the moon to be taking part in the LMMS shenanigans this month. Stay tuned for more LMMS projects from me. 

Be sure to stop by the Little Miss Muffet Stamps BLOG to check out the other AWESOME DT designs.

MMCS and Little Miss Muffet Mash Up

A frosty good morning to ya from the North East of England. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. I hope you're here to take part in the biggest hop in the blog-o-sphere right now!?

I hope you've arrived here from the gorgeous Kitty's blog - if not, head back to the Little Miss Muffet Stamps blog to get started. 

So, incase you didn't already know My Mum's Craft Shop are now carrying Little Miss Muffet Stamps, and are currently the only retailer in the UK to do so.

So, I decided to use the adorable Celeste Amberglow - Heartstrings. She's super cute. I love the layers in her dress and that big bow in her hair. Adorable!! She lends herself so well to paper piecing and layering up too - the possibilities are endless! 

I coloured her up using my old faithful ProMarkers and FlexMarkers. I had this paper from My Mind's Eye Collectable, Memorable Collection in my mind when I was colouring her up, so tried to tie in the mint greens, lime greens and pinks into her outfit.

I used a bunch of stamps to create my sentiment. I tried to layer up a lot of my paper scraps from my paper pack and I added a tonne of brads, rhinestones and dots of Stickles to tie everything together. I cannot complete a project without them lately!!
