WMFC#21 Anything Goes!

I hope you've all had a nice weekend (despite the weather not being able to make up it's mind!!)? The challenge on Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge is 'Anything Goes', so I thought I would use my 'Festive Foliage' stamps & new dies 🙂 I  bet other crafters don't have this problem, but I'm not very into… Continue reading WMFC#21 Anything Goes!

A big squishy hug – WMFC 20

I'm just uploading this before rushing off for work!!! I stamped the leaf border from the Waltzingmouse 'Gift Card It' on an A6 white card base (tent fold orientation), then I used the co-ordinating die set to cut the gift card holding strip in the middle of the card & stamped the sentiment in Stampin'… Continue reading A big squishy hug – WMFC 20

Return to blossoming health – WMF20

Phew! I managed to finish this in time to enter the Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge! This fortnight's challenge was colours: Aren't those colours lovely & fresh? I LOVE orchids, so my first thought was to make loads of paper orchids in the colour scheme, but then I realised that that wouldn't really showcase my Waltzingmouse stamps… Continue reading Return to blossoming health – WMF20

Father’s Day 2014 tag

Here is the matching tag I made to go with the card I made my Step Dad. I used Stampin' UP! Gumball Green cardstock and the Waltzingmouse Stamps 'Folding tag die set'. I used a different yellow ribbon to the one on the front of the card becuse the hole in the tag is very… Continue reading Father’s Day 2014 tag

Happy Saturday everyone! Are you enjoying the weekend? Tomorrow I'm going to one of my Mum's former colleague's new house in St. Albans - from what I've seen it looks very nice with an ultra modern interior!

You’re the Cherry Best

I fell in love with the Waltzingmouse 'Big Berries - Strawberries' when I first saw them, so when the Cherries was released I bought it straight away. Unfortunately it seems to have been one of those stamps that I get & have lots of ideas for, but never get around to using! When Stampin' UP!… Continue reading You’re the Cherry Best
