Christmas Doilies

Hiya Peeps

I know, I know another crimbo card! But, I'm determined not to leave it till last minute again! :D

So, this is one of my fave Penny Black Christmas stamps, the papers aren't crimbo ones but think I've got away with it! :D  (They're from Papermania.) And the fabulous border punch and medium doily punches are from Martha Stewart. Oh and the sentiment stamp is from LOTV.

I've coloured this sweet lil' mouse with Derwent Inktense Watercolours, oops nearly forgot, I've used my fave Christmas embossing folder from Cuttlebug too :)

I'm entering this card into:

Snowy 'n' Simple

Hiya Folks

As soon as I saw the challenge over at Less Is More, which is 'Pick a square', I had to have a go! I never thought of making a layout in this style, I tried putting the image in a corner but it just didn't look right, so may have to have another go at this challenge :)

This cute image is from the transparent set 'Christmas Critters' from Penny Black, the swirl is a die from Marianne Creatables and the embossing folder is from Cuttlebug. Oh and I did the sentiment with some rub-ons from Doodlebug.

I've coloured these sweeties with Derwent Inktense Watercolours and Tombows, I've used Stickles 'Stardust' glitter glue and for extra sparkle I sprinkled loadsa Glamous Dust over the top.



Thank you for looking and enjoy the long weekend :)

Daisy Skippin'

Hello Peeps

Ooh nearly Friday! :D  I soooo need a long sleep this weekend!

Anyhoo, I couldn't resist making a card with this adorable lil' hedgie from Penny Black, a perfect image for a spring birthday card I think :)  The green paper is from Pink Petticoat and the daisy paper is from Cuddly Buddly. I've used an old X-Cut flower paper punch and a pretty border punch from Martha Stewart. Oh and I've used an embossing folder from Cuttlebug.

I've coloured this cutie with Derwent Inktense Watercolours and a couple of Tombows and used Stickles 'Lemon Ice' glitter glue.

Hedgie Wishes

Hey Peeps

I am a complete birdbrain sometimes I really am! I wanted to post this card on here last night, but couldn't figure out when I went into 'New Post' it looked completely different to normal, anyway after 2 hours I realised I was in the 'Edit HTML' view instead of the 'Compose' view! Doh! And I wanted to change my font in the posts too, don't think I'll bother now though! :D

Anyways, this gorgeous lil' hedgie is from Penny Black, the yummy papers are from Pink Petticoat (I've printed them out in 'Bluebell') and I've used an embossing folder from Crafts Too.

I've coloured with Aquamarkers and used Stickles 'Crystal Ice' glitter glue.
