I chose a couple of the beach themed ones, mounted them on kraft too and added them to my little gable end box with some gardeners tape, twine and the cutest lifesaver charm ever ( ...that I can't find in the shop to link for you..sob sob!!!)

A little box .....

Stamp- What's cooking? 

Papers- Daisy Bucket Perfect Harmony- Callie.
Stamped with Memento Tuxedo black ink.
Coloured with promarkers.
edges of paper inked with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink pad.

Good morning everyone!

I hope you have all had lovely weekends. I had some crafty time making a little box for my niece's birthday. My brother and sister and I have a £5 gift rule for the children in our family as we are all a little short on pennies.

Harriet loves making cupcakes so I decided to make a little box we can pop £5 and some cake sprinkles in little plastic bags into.

The box itself is from the Silhouette store so if you have a silhouette machine, you can find it HERE. 

And one of my all time favourite Mo Manning by Stamping Bella stamps, Whats Cooking? was just absolutely posatootly perfect for this job!! I stamped her out 3 times, once on my colouring paper and then once on either side of the paper I had left over from making the box. I stamped her on each side so I could have a different colour dress and apron. These Daisy Bucket papers are just fantastic, they are so pretty and they cut perfectly on my cameo machine, its always sooo good to find a paper that will cut great on your machines!!! I gave the edges a gentle inking with my Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink pad.

She really is just the cutest!! I didn't use her little sentiment as I had already worked on cutting Harriet's name to go along the curved line of the box in my Silhouette software.

Thank you for popping in!

The dies just do it all for you, I absolutely love them. All I needed to do was arm myself with a stamp, promarkers, yummy papers and glue and go for it!!

Sassitude is just adorable! I layered up her skirt by stamping it a couple of times on the papers I was using and then paper pieced her up. Her little sentiment is so cute too, she has a selection of sentiments but this one was Mo's pick! I love it when he helps me choose bits to use!!

Hi everyone!

I just had to get this  Uptown Girl inked up this weekend, she is just such a sweetheart.

I went for a good and big 8x8 card for this one because so I could use some nice big cuts of the Echo Park bundle of joy mini kit and its stickers!! oooh its so gorgeous!! I paper pieced her dress up and coloured the rest of her with my promarkers then it was just a case of choosing which couple of stickers I wanted.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with her on a scrap of the pink and then spent some time carefully die cutting my other scraps to get a lovely little assortment of fishtail banners I could layer up at the side.

I added a little enamel dot onto the edge because they do just make fabulous faux brads! they look awesome with none of that poke it through and fold the backs down palava!!!

Puppy Luv..

Stamp- Puppy Luv.

Papers- Bildmalarna Frosty christmas- Christmas Love

& 7 Dots Studio The Queens Heart.

coloured with promarkers.

Morning everyone!

I've been a little off it the past couple of days but managed to have a little relaxing colouring time on saturday after a good old dose of tablets!!

Do you ever have those stroke only papers that just sit under lock and key until the perfect stamp for them comes along?!!! well I do!!! lol!!!! the 7 dots studio 'The Queens Heart' papers are just that for me, they are just sooo beautiful you don't want to touch them (well...other than stroking them that is!!) Its one of those pads you use that just don't need any help from flowers and embellies but just do it all for you. My fav paper from this pad is the one with the text 'make it happen' on it.

All I needed to do was colour up my super gorgeous Puppy Luv stamp and add it to the card! I did do a teensy bit of ripping just to add a little more and a little twine bow.
