Cool It!

Morning guys! :) I'm back again with some more inspiration for My Mum's Craft Shop.

Have you been enjoying everyone's animal creations this week?

COOL IT!


I used an adorable stamp from Stampendous - Happy Hoppers. This is Cool It!! :) Is he not the cutest ever?

Of course, I had to colour him ginger. If you know me.. you know.. :) Ahhhh.

I used some older papers from My Minds Eye - Collectable Notable.

I used very few other supplies. 
Lawn Fawn Milo's ABCs for the sentiment
Woodware brad
giant eyelet from my reogranised stash

Thanks for stopping by this week. I'll be back next Wednesday with a random card using more delicious goodies available from My Mum's Craft Shop. xo

Nordic Pines

Good morning people of the blog-o-sphere!! How windy was it for you at the beginning of the week?

To tell you the truth, people of the north east blew it all out of proportion (excuse the pun..), as we didn't have it half as bad, nay, quarter as bad as people on the south west coast. Wind speeds nai on 100mph - CRAZY!

I hope this post finds you all safe and warm!!


It's time for me to provide a little inspiration for ya using products you can pick up at My Mum's Craft Shop. Let's go..

So this girl, is the adorable Birdie Kiddo from Stampendous. The expression on her face melts my heart. I wish a Robin would come land on my hand so I could have a chat!! She's been coloured with ProMarkers and FlexMarkers and I've added a touch of Frosted Lace Stickles to the fluffy bits of her hat, coat and gloves - more for texture than glitter.

I've added the smallest cluster of three snowflakes from the MFT Snowflake Splendor set with Summer Sky Memento ink around the image before die cutting her with a circle.


So my paper is from a new collection by Bazzill Basics - Nordic Pines. I love them. It's my first pack of Bazzill papers and I have no idea why I waited so long to buy them - they're so thick and luxurious. Gorgeous colours and designs. Yum!! I've paired them up with some pink cardstock, some pink ribbon and a button to make this card a little more 'girly'. 

For a finishing touch I die cut some snowflakes with the MFT Let it Snow dies from vellum and attached them with some dark pink gemstones from The Hobby House. These dies have to be amongst some of my most used! I LOVE snowflakes and they're perfect for those Christmas creations!

Don't forget to head over to the My Mum's Craft Shop blog to get daily inspiration.

My Mum's Craft Shop Do Halloween

Sorry this is late guys, I've had my head up my butt since late last week, and I'm still not 100% sorted, but onwards. It's the beginning of October. I know.

Let's just take a second to let that sink in..

That can only mean it's time for a new challenge over at My Mum's Craft Shop

HALLOWEEN/ HALLOWEEN COLOURS

Yip!! Only 29 days til Halloween, so if you're like me.. and love making Halloween cards, we best get our busy hats on and create some ghoulish goodness. I sooo wish England took Halloween more seriously.. like America. Would be awesome..

That aside, here's my project.


I've matted my cardstock from an Echo Park collection to some orange cardstock and adhered down the layers onto a Kraft cardbase


I added a tonne of embellishments, including some papers flowers, buttons, polka dot ribbon and liquid pearls and Stickles. I die cut a bird, to look like a crow, from black cardstock using a Marianne Designs die.

I would like to enter this card into these challenges:
Sketch Saturday - Sketch #278
Bearly Mine Challenges - Halloween
Love Rubber Stamps - Anything Goes


Thanks for being so patient. I hope you enjoy the card!
