Hello and Merry Christmas. I hope that you have a wonderful day filled with much love and laughter. Australia had just finished celebrating Christmas when this post goes live, but our family is actually delaying our Christmas celebrations until Sunday, when my  sister and her family arrive (they couldn’t make it Christmas Day). My Mum and Dad have already arrived, as has my eldest sister and her husband, so it has been lovely having a house full. My kids have been very patient and can’t wait for their cousins to arrive. I love having all my family altogether.

Anyway, I have a Sunny Studio tag to share with you using the Bundled Up stamp set and its co-ordinating dies.

The penguin was coloured with Copic Markers as are the sun rays, which is a Simon Says Stamp die. I’ll add the supplies list later.

If you celebrate Christmas, what did you get up to?

Thanks for stopping by and Merry Christmas,

Good evening (or morning depending on where you live!) I have another Sunny Studio card to share with you which uses the Santa’s Helpers stamp set, the coordinating dies and the popular Fishtail Banners dies.

All the images are coloured with Copic Markers and I attached the banner to the card front with my sewing machine. A great Christmas stamp set for any animal lover!

Short and sweet from me tonight. Have a great night (or day). I’m off to bed!

Happy Friday! School is out and I’m on holiday for 6 weeks! Hopefully I will be able to catch my breath now. The last month has just been a whirlwind of activity.

Well today I have a Sunny Studio card to share with you using another one of Mendi’s cute penguin sets called Snow Kissed. For something a little different I decided to create a window card (but I always find these so hard to photograph!) To create the window, a partially die cut a circle and then created the flat bottom with my craft knife and a ruler.

The penguin was stamped and then die cut with the Snow Kissed dies. I made the window just big enough so that I could secure the penguin both at the top and bottom.

For a subtle pattern on the card front, I stamped the snowflakes stamp in Versamark ink and added some snowflake dies from the Snow Kissed die set.

The image is coloured with Copics markers and I added a white piece of paper to the inside of the card, so that when it is closed, white peeks through.

That’s all from me today. Thanks for visiting,

Today I have a Jane’s Doodles card to share using the recently released Rain or Shine stamp set. You can find the post here on the Jane’s Doodles blog.

This is such a fun set to play with. Lots of masking on this card to make it a one layer card and all coloured with Copic Markers. I put Glossy Accents on the rainbow for some shine.

Hi there. I’m popping in super quick with a card that I have over on the Sunny Studio blog. It uses the Santa’s Helpers stamp set and its coordinating dies.

I coloured the image in with Copic Markers and created a thicker sentiment by layering 4 ‘Merry’ words together.

Short and sweet from me today. I’m off to bed to get some sleep as it’s been a long day.

Hello! Today is the release blog hop for Jane’s Doodles Stamps. You should have arrived from Zrinka’s blog.

Today, two new sets are being released into the store and they are Rain or Shine and Ahoy! Once again, Jane has done an amazing job at designing these sets. I find her stamps so easy to create cute little scenes with them.

Rain or Shine

Ahoy!

First up I’ve created a one layer card using the Rain or Shine set.

I added two layers of Glossy Accents to the umbrella for lots of dimension. Unfortunately the white dots I drew on the umbrella got a little lost underneath all of that shine.

Next up is a card using the Ahoy! stamp set. I had a lot of fun colouring these images (with Copics) and creating this scene. It’s going to be a birthday card for my daughter who turns 6 in December. She is very much a tom boy and loves all things pirates, so this card is perfect for her. It hasn’t really shown up in the photo very well, but there is a very lightly sponged blue sky with clouds. If you squint you may see some of it – it is much better in real life.
