Good evening! Today I am over on the Jane’s Doodle blog using one of Jane’s latest sets called Belated Birthday. I just love me a turtle and this set also has some great snails as well.

The background is quite textured. I found it in my craft pile of unfinished projects (that pile is quite big mind you!) and it was made with some texture paste coloured with distress ink and a stencil from MFT. I have no idea which colour of Distress ink I used though! I have covered the cake and party hat with some clear Wink of Stella, but it doesn’t show up very well in the photo.

This tag is off to my Dad as it was his birthday last week – and I’m a bit late in getting it to him.

Thanks for your company today,

Save

A couple of days ago I had a Valentine’s card up on the Jane’s Doodle blog, using the Winter Fun stamp set. These reindeer make me smile!

I stamped and then coloured the images with Copic Markers. The banner between the two reindeer is from the Love Birds set, and I hand wrote the sentiment with a Copic Multi liner.

To add some fun details, their noses are coated in Glossy Accents and I added spots to their scarves. I stamped the heart background with some Teal coloured ink, to create a subtle tone-on-tone effect.

I hope you are having a great day and I appreciate you stopping by,

Happy Christmas Eve! I’m popping in quickly with a card I made for my daughter’s birthday which is today. It uses the Jane’s Doodles stamp set called Cats. My daughter just adores cats. You can find the original post on the Jane’s Doodles blog here.

Short and sweet from me today.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas time with your loved ones.

Until next time,

It’s been a bit quiet on my bloggeroo lately. I haven’t been putting my feet up though, but rather rushing around like a headless chook! School is finally finished for the year – reports are written and have been sent home, classrooms packed up and all the end of school concerts and presentations done!  I’ve survived my kid’s birthday party and now I’m madly doing the last minute dash to be ready for Christmas. I’m almost there! But I’m tired.

Anyway, I have a card to share that was over on the Jane’s Doodle blog last week using the Winter Wishes and Mr and Mrs Claus stamp sets.

How are your Christmas preparations going?

Thanks for stopping by,

Spring has certainly sprung here in Asutralia and I am loving it! To celebrate I have a Jane’s Doodles tag to share with you today which is just bursting with all things Spring. To see the post over on the JD Blog go here.

All the stamps are from the Spring stamp set. The background was created with my Gansai Tambi watercolours onto some watercolour paper. The images were coloured with Copics and then I fussy cut them out.

I was planting lots of flowers in my pots today and boy it felt good to be out in the sunshine.

Thanks for visiting,

Hello. Yesterday I had the privilege of being a Guest Designer on the Sunny Studio blog. I was super fun to ink up some of the latest Autumn release stamp sets – lots of class and cuteness. I recommend that you check out the Sunny Studio store for all their great products if you haven’t already.

This first card uses the Autumn Splendor stamp set. It was fun mixing different colours to create the two-toned leaves. The sentiment was stamped onto a Sunny Studio Stitched Heart shaped die.

Next up I used the Woodsy Creatures stamp set to create this hilarious bunch of selfie-taking critters! I gave this to a colleague at work.

Be sure to head to the Sunny Studio blog for more inspiration.
