My new toy!

I made this card for my friend who recently

lost her Mum and as it's coming up to her Month's Mind

I wanted to let her know I was thinking of her.

I used a brand new toy to create this card.

It is from Lisa Horton Crafts and I really splurged!!

Honestly the stress of the wedding etc just got the better of me 😂

So I bought the four pack of layering stencils, dies, stamps

and of course the Ultimate Multitool board.

If you haven't checked it out you should.

I am totally addicted to this system!

It has little pins at the top of the board that allow you

to position the stencills perfectly each time, pure genius!!

I used  Multi Layer Blossoming Lily

(stencil, stamp and dies)

Peel Paint Distress ink, old olive (SU) ink,

Purple posy, fresh fig, fresh freesia and gorgeous grape inks (SU)

Blending brushes and metallic pearls.

I have since added a scored line around the outside of the card

to give it some definition.

All for baby!

It's the second week of Wendy's theme of

use some fabric over at

Tag Tuesday

I decided to go with a new baby tag and made

some little rolled flowers using pink felt.

The oval shape was cut from some retired papers and

I stamped the little stars in the background

using All For Baby stamp set.

The sentiment was stamped then punched using

my oval punch.

The flowers were glued in place with

some punched out leaves added.

I finished it off with a bow in stitched pink ribbon.

Flowers at Tag Tuesday

It's my turn to choose the theme at

Tag Tuesday

and I have gone with FLOWERS!

I had a notion to make some handmade flowers

so went with lots of die cuts in white then used

some scraps from the background papers to make some rolled

flowers with a central pearl.

The background papers are from a pack called

Natural Touch. One side is woodgrain the other a lighter

textured colour.

I cut the tag shape using the lighter side

then add a torn piece from the other side,

over stamping with some wording from the

One Happy Family stamp set in Fresh Freesia ink.

The words were die cut using

Word Wishes dies and coloured with fresh freesia inks.

I added some gold bakers twine from the

Simply Elegant Trim pack and jewels

from the In-colour jewels pack.

To finish I added some gold organza ribbon.
