Too-wit Too-woo!

Our new challenge theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

has been chosen by Wendy and she wants to see OWLS!

I dug out this retired stamp set and had a wee play.

I used stitched with whimsy dies to create the white square

for my owl. The back mat is a retired colour which I ran through

the exposed brick embossing folder with a little big of crumb cake

ink rubbed on the flatter side.

The  sentiment was stamped onto same card. I coloured

the owl using blends and finished with a little

gingham bow.

You've got a friend in me

As some of you know I signed up to

Stampin' Up! again yesterday.

I had a lapse of 2 months due to circumstances beyond

my control but greatly missed the buzz, inspiration

and get up and go that I had when I was a demo.

Soooooo, I'm back again to torture you.

My little card today was inspired by a challenge over at

Windows, doors, arches!

Our new challenge theme at

TAG TUESDAY

was chosen by Wendy and she wants to see

windows, doors, arches!

For my tag I went with a door using  the

Feels Like Home stamp set (R) along with a sentiment from

At Home With You (R)

I stamped it onto the lovely Stitched with Whimsy Dies

and coloured it with blends and promarkers.

I hope you get time to join us.

We were away in Belfast again yesterday at hospital

for test for my Son. 

Then we went shopping with him and his wife

and had lunch out.

Today is a beautiful crisp sunny day but I do

have a few cards to get done and a bit of gift wrapping

for a new baby on my husband's family side.

So busy busy!!

 

Free as a bird at Stamping Sensations

Happy New Year to you all!

I hope you are all well and in good spirits

as we fight our way through this new year.

Why not start on a nice crafty note

and join our challenge at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

with your favourite stamp!!

There are two beautiful stamp sets for the winner!!

It was tough to pick a favourite stamp set

as I have many 😂

but this one shouted out to me.

I kept the card very simple, using my new

Stitched with Whimsy dies

to create a border for my stamping.

The stamp set is called Free as a Bird

and it is so lovely for colouring.

Though this is when I wish I was an expert!!

I used daffodil delight, granny apple green and smoky slate blends

and the base card I used is smoky slate.

Poinsetta Petals Christmas card

Not long to go now and I have another last minute card!!

I broke into my brand new stash and used the

Stitched with Whimsy dies

which will be available in January.

They don't cut the card just mark it with double stitching

and comes in 6 different sizes.

I hand cut around mine to get the nice shape.

I then stamped the flowers using Poinsettia Petals,

coloured them with real red blends and shaded

the background using Bermuda Bay ink and wink of stella.
