A-maze-ing Dad
Hello everyone, it's Kat here!
I thought the brand new maze themed collection from MFT would be perfect for a Fathers' Day card, but I can see it being great for so many other occasions too and can't wait to create more a-maze-ing designs with it - lol!
For this card I used one of the plastic mazes inside a shaker pouch and you can even get the teeny metal ball to pop inside...it's so cute!
If you would like more details on how I created this card, including more pictures, then please do pop over to visit me at Paper Firefly.
Have a wonderful day!

Saying Hi with a Cute CAS Otter!
Hey everyone it's Elaine, back more inspiration today here on the Dies to Die For blog.
I've been playing with more of my MFT Stamps collection, because the cuteness is hard to resist. ;)
Just look at this little otter...
Right? So cute.
I kept it really simple on this one, and I love how it turned out!

Rock and Paws for Father's Day
Good morning lovely crafty peeps.
Hope you are well and enjoying the glorious weather we are having in the UK - I know for some it is a struggle with the heat but for me personally I love it :o)
Debs here with my little Monday Morning Inspiration for
DIES TO DIE FOR
I made this card only yesterday morning with the purchases I made at DtDF the day before in Telford - so I broke my record for using new stash the fastest.
There is a 'meaning' behind the choice of images on this card - when Jack was very small he and John would play a game where Jack would say Dog and John would reply Doggie - they would do this repeatedly and for some strange reason they thought it was so funny - the best bit for me was hearing them laugh so much together - so when I saw this set of stamps I just knew I had to have them!!!
Card Inside:
John also used to play both the drums and the guitar (not both at the same time lol!!!)
Card Ingredients:
Image: Mama Elephant Rock and Paws Stamp Set
Mama Elephant Rock and Paws Die Set
Colouring Medium: Copics
Design Paper: Best Creations Rock Star
Sentiment Stamps for Inside: Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy
Have a fabulous day.

Happy Friday everyone, it's Kat here!
Ok, so I know there is a whole new release from MFT but I have only just got around to playing with the mermaids from the previous release!

Now, hands up who wants to be a mermaid?!

Sending Hedgehugs
Hey everyone it's Elaine, back more inspiration today here on the Dies to Die For blog. Do not panic, do not adjust your screens, today I'm sharing a non-Stamping Bella card! Ha!
I am a sucker for cute, and I have a serious thing for hedgehogs, so the MFT Stamps Happy Hedgehogs stamp set is a firm favourite. I also have a new fixation - creating cute card backgrounds like the one below.
Adorable, isn't it? That cute hedgie, and the little mushrooms/toadstools. I just cannot... I had so much fun colouring this with my Copic markers.

Those flowers again!
Happy Friday everyone, it's Kat here!
I had so much fun playing with the gorgeous MFT stitched flower dies for my set of bright floral tags last Friday that I couldn't resist seeing how they would look in a more vintage style.
Flowers are always a good way to say thank you aren't they?!
