There are only two more posts to come from me before I step down from the Design Team at Christmas.  I've been working with this fabulous team for several years now and it has been a really hard decision to make, but I will still be around on the Facebook pages, you don't get away that lightly!

Foxes

I've made a scalloped stepper (which was harder than I'd anticipated to get those pesky folds in the right place) and decorated it with my adorably cute CC Designs Foxes.  The heart dies are pieces from a larger die. I've doodled stitching around each of the panels for a bit of added interest as I've kept the embelishments light.

Card Recipe:

From Dies To Die For:

• CC Designs Foxes
• Impression Obsession Heart of Hearts
• MFT Dienamics Stitched Circle Stax
• MFT Dienamics Stitched Oval Stax

Happy crafting

To be brutal, this little Squirrel has felt totally cr@p this week.  I have had my share of cold germs over the years, but I swear they are getting more evil with each passing winter!

and the ingredients for this are

MFT Birdie Brown - Santa's Elves BB-25

MFT Die-Namics - Santa's Elves MFT-782

MFT Die-Namics Stitched Circle Scallop Frames MFT-858

Bundles Of Love

Morning all, Squirrel here again.

I'm not sure why, but the Pure Innocence girls don't seem to do as well in the UK as they

do in the US, which is a real shame, because they are such cuties, and so versatile.  I really like them so I shall continue to share them with you!

Jingle Elves Story

Good morning everyone, it is Squirrel here today.

I hope your festive plans are coming along and all is joyful.  Our Christmas is currently going to hell in a rapidly accelerating handcart and I am not sure there are any brakes!

Never mind, it will be what it will be, and we will still enjoy it I'm sure.

Today I have a little mash-up for you, and I'm not talking potatoes.

So, the list of deliciousness used for this is:

MFT: Jingle All The Way

MFT: Santa's Elves

MFT: Our Story

Die-Namics: A2 Stitched Rectangle Stax Set 1

MFT 6x6: Farm Fresh Gingham

Impression Obsession: Ho Ho Ho

The bottom border die is also Die-Namics (I think it is Dainty Doily Border) but it has

been retired by MFT.  There are still some  related products available in the DTDF store, just search for Dainty Doily.

That's me for today, I'm off to continue my panic elsewhere!

Hugs to all

A Little Thursday Blossom

 

Good morning sweet peeps, Dawny P here and a very happy Thursday to everybody x

The card I’m sharing today features the little cutie above.

She is CC Designs - Pollycraft – Blossom and I coloured her with these Copics -

Skin – E000, E00, E13, R00, R02
Hair – E31, E35, E39, E50
The rest – B63, BG0000, BG10, BG15, R00, R02, R05, YG00

 

The papers are from the new Echo Park - Simple Life - Dots & Stripes 6 x 6 Pad – drool slurp at the colours in these!!!

 

 

 

 

 

I actually used an Impression Obsession die here – it’s the Square Cutout Border die.
I curled it slightly then stuck it down so that it bevelled in the middle. 
Then I promptly covered it up with some chopped up leaves cut with a Memory Box Lavish Branch and some little Wildflower Patch flowers.  

 

Am I the only one that does that???
Sometimes even I don't understand myself!!!!

 

 

 

 

So that’s my card and if you want more details, then please pop across to my blog .

Thank you so much  for stopping by and have a great day.

Huggiest of hugs to all,

A little bit of Pion Design

Good morning folks, Ann-Marie popping in to wish you a very happy Wednesday and to share a little crafty inspiration with you all.

My card today has been made using some beautiful Pion Design papers.  I didn't use a stamped image but used the Pion Design 'Shoreline Treasures - Iris Sibirica' and cut out the iris from the paper with my Spellbinders die.  I also used Pion Design 'Shoreline Treasures - Seahorse' papers and matted them onto some blue card.  I used my favourite corner flourish Cheery Lynn 'Victorian Romance Flourish' I so love this die its just so pretty and also an Impression Obsession 'Love Birds' die and inked up the edges with Tim Holtz 'Walnut Stain' distress ink.  To add a little sparkle I added some glitter accents with 'Star Dust' Stickles.  Once I'd decided where everything was going this card didn't really take that long to make it was just a case of sticking everything into place.  I think I may give this one to my aunt for her birthday in a couple of days as blue is her favourite colour and all.

Items used

Image:  Pion Design 'Shoreline Treasures - Iris Sibirica'

Papers:  Pion Design 'Shoreline Treasures - Iris Sibirica' & 'Shoreline Treasures - Seahorse'

Dies:  Cheery Lynn 'Victorian Romance Flourish', Impression Obsession 'Love Birds'

Tim Holtz 'Walnut Stain' Distress Ink

'Star Dust' Stickles

Sheer/Looped Trim Ribbon - olive

Right that's all from me today, enjoy your Wednesday folks.

Take care.

Letter for You!

Hello everyone, happy Wednesday to you all.  It's Ann-Marie here today popping in to share with you some crafty goodness.

As soon as I saw this cute little stamp 'Letter for You' I knew I wanted to have a go at one of those little mail boxes I see around blog land.  Once I had made the initial mail box I covered it with some beautiful Bo Bunny Dot Paper in Coral which is such a pretty colour and I believe both the stamp and paper are actually on offer at the moment.

Items Used

Image:  CC Designs Drozy Darlings 'Letter for You' 

Sentiment:  Whimsy 'Everyday Moments' 

Papers:  Bo Bunny Dot Paper 'Coral'

Dies:  Impression Obsession 'Love Birds' Die, Spellbinders 'Label 4' die

Prima Say it in Crystals 'Yellow' 

Memento 'Tuxedo Black' ink pad

'Star Dust' Stickles

Okay time for me to go.  Thank you for stopping by today and I hope I have inspired you to have some fun.

Take care and happy crafting.

Pippa Loves to Plant

Hello Everyone, I hope you are well and having a good weekend.

I think it's fair to say that most of us in the UK are fed up with all the rain we are having at the moment so I have made a pretty summery card to remind us of sunnier days.

The gorgeous stamp is by Stamping Bella, with the lovely friendship sentiment is included. As this is a nice big stamp I made a centre stepper card using some pretty papers from My Minds Eye. The beautiful Spring Border is from Memory Box and the butterflies are by Impression Obsession.

Items Used:

 Stamp - Stamping Bella Uptown Girls - Pippa Loves to Plant coloured with Promarkers

Papers - My Mind's Eye Cut & Paste Adorbs
Bazzill  Kraft Cardstock

Dies - Memory Box Spring Border
Impression Obsession Butterfly Set
Die-Namics Pierced Rectangles

Thank you for stopping by and looking at my card today.
