Christmas Birdy

Hello. I've got two cards today, both made using the new Tags and Pieces digikit by Hero Arts.  I love this sweet bird tag, and wanted to keep the card simple to focus on the lovely image.  I printed the tag onto some pretty music paper from a digikit by Elle's Studio called Christmas Papers.  The background snowflake paper is also from this kit.  I added some silky crush and seam binding from The Ribbon Girl for a bit of texture.

How FAB is this big vintage Santa image.  It's also from the Tags and Pieces kit, as is the lovely matching sentiment.  Again, this card is so simple... but I wanted to really show off that fab Santa.  The papers are also from Elle's Studio Christmas Papers digikit.

Merry Snowmen

Hello.
I'm back, with a card that features an image from the brand new Christmas Cookies digikit by Hero Arts. This snowman is so cute. :)

The background is created using Mister Huey's White Spray Mist, then I stitched a line to create the ground and stamped the sentiment, from the Get Merry stamp set.  I used Copics to colour the scarves, then added a little Stickles too. :)
Here Arts have released another kit today too: Tags and Pieces.  I'll be back tomorrow to share some ideas for this kit.
Bye.

Folksy Card Additions

Hello
Just a quick post for my UK readers to say I've added loads of cards to my Folksy shop.  Click on any card below to be taken to the shop.  Oh, and if you are non-UK and want to buy anything, please email me. :)
Back tomorrow with NEW cards. :)

Congratulations

Here's a simple card I made using a brand new Hero Arts digikit: People and Cars.

This was so easy to make... I just chose some yummy polka dot digi paper from Pink Petticoat (if you've not yet visited this amazing digital stamp and paper shop, go NOW...), layered over my two people stamps (and made them hold hands...), then added a sentiment from Hero Arts Sweet Wedding kit.  I printed this onto white cardstock (and by the way, I just use white card from my local stationers... something a bit shiny and thicker than average, but nothing too special) then trimmed and stitched to a Hero Arts Carnation notecard. I embellished with some silk ribbon to make a bow tie, and a Blossom Gem for the girl.  Sometimes you need a quick card...

Birthday Butterfly

Hello.
Here's a simple card I made using Hero Arts and Basic Grey products. Love these blue and ledger papers from the Oxford 6 x 6 Pad.  Such a gorgeous blue...  The butterfly stamp is from the Papillions set (25% off HERE) and the sentiment is from Sending Smiles.

I added some blue silk ribbon from The Ribbon Girl and tiny staples using my Ranger Tiny Attacher (love it).
Just home from my final ante-natal session.  I am now a fully ready mummy-to-be!!!! (Seriously... I am so nervous and excited and apprehensive.  One month to go....)
