Sketch Saturday- let it snow!

Hello all!! I've another Christmas card to share with you today for Sketch Saturday...

I've used The Cats Pajamas Take A Deep Breath coloured with copics and paper pieced. The papers are Echo Park Winter Wishes. The jumbo snowflake is a Dienamic. The "let it" is PC generated and cut out with Fishtail Flags Stax Dienamics. The "snow" is die cut using High Rise Alphabet Dienamics.

Here's your close up! Coo-eeeee!

My Mum's Craft Shop- Animals

Hey hey hey! How's it going? This is the first of two posts today- both for My Mum's Craft Shop. This week the MMCS DT have been showcasing products featuring the theme of ANIMALS!

I've used the newly in The Cats Pajamas Aye Aye Captain stamp set. I've coloured him with copics and cut him out. I've also done the same with the 2 lifebelts. These gorgeous papers are Echo Park Here and Now- I used one of the sheets of paper to cut out the clouds which I then mounted on 3d foam pads. The sea was created with the Catch A Wave Dienamic. Finally the sentiment is part of the stamp set. It's pretty versatile as the sentiments cover thank you cards, male birthdays or a cute romantic card.

Your close up!

Wheel love!

Hi everyone! Hope you had a lovely weekend. The weather has actually been a bit nice and sunny!! Shock horror! Am I becoming obsessed with the weather??!!!

Anyway today's card is very Spring-like in an attempt to convince us all that maybe Spring is finally on its way. This week's DT theme over at My Mum's Craft Shop is Dots and Stripes so I made this card. I'm afraid it's not one of my best, I'm not feeling that great and mojo has gone massively awol. Boooooo.

I've chosen to use Wheel Love by The Cats Pajamas. I've coloured with copics and laid down the grass with lyra pencils. These pretty papers are MME Memorable which is really funny cos I just had to check the front of the pad to check the name!! ha ha. The sentiment comes with the stamp. I added a cute little scalloped border using Small Scallop Border Dienamic. This is an old Sketch Saturday sketch.

My Mum's Craft Shop- Bunny With Cake!

Hey peeps! Hope you're keeping yourselves warm (those of you battling snow in the UK). The only good thing is that it's a good excuse for crafting!! What is up with the weather??!!! Come on, Spring!!!

This week we are running the theme of Echo Park papers over at My Mum's Craft Shop blog and here is my sample...

I'm also showing you a new stamp from the latest Wild Rose Studio release- this is called Bunny With Cake. I've coloured him with copics and added a lyra shadow. The papers are Echo Park Sweet Little Girl. The sentiment is actually from a Cats Pajamas stamp available here cut out with Let's Chat speech bubble Dienamics. Finally added a fun spiral with the Looped Border Dienamics.

Close up. Don't forget to visit the blog for the rest of the week to check out the DT's designs!

MMCS Challenge

Well better late than never- here is my post for My Mum's Craft Shop's Monthly Challenge which started on Jan 1st! It's been a hectic week as my Mum's been in hospital again so I completely forgot to post this card.

Anyway the deets are that from now on Kitty is running a monthly challenge on the shop blog. The shop DT will be giving you plenty of inspiration as well as our daily posts. 

This week's challenge is nice and easy and is ANYTHING GOES. See here for the original post.

Kitty is offering a £20 voucher to the shop for the prize!

I've used The Cat's Pajamas A Girl and Her Cake which I've coloured with copics. I double stamped the cake and her arm to raise up under 3d pads. She is mounted using the Dienamics Rounded Banner Stax. The papers are MME The Sweetest Thing- Honey. The sentiment (which I LOVE!) comes with the stamp set and is cut out using the Dienamics Say What? die. The little teeny heart is cut from a PTI die.

My Mum's Craft Shop- Christmas toppers!

It's Monday so it's time to be showing you a little love for My Mum's Craft Shop and showcasing some more of the fantastic Christmas toppers Kitty has in stock. The first two cards are made using 2 of the Hobby House Mo Manning Christmas time toppers...

The amazing thing about these toppers are the size! They maaaassive!! I cut around this little guy and mounted him on Kaisercraft Turtle Dove paper. The sentiment is created using my beloved High Rise Alphabet Die-namics- gotta be one of my fav buys of 2012! Stars are nesties finished with button and Bakers twine.

Mo Manning topper number 2 again cut out and mounted on Kaisercraft Turtle Dove paper. The lush bow is created with the Dienamics Beautiful Bow in red felt. OMG- you have to get this die!!! Sentiment is a Waltzing Mouse one.

Finally I've got a Hobby House Kenny K topper from the Festive Cheer sheet to show you. Papers are by Echo Park- these are actually one of last year's pads but Kitty has all the brand new ones here. Sentiment is a Cats Pajamas one from the Define Good stamp set cut out with the File tab Dienamics. Snowflake is Sizzix die.

Thanks for stopping by today!
