Plain & Simple - 23rd February

Hello Bloggers!


Today's card is a simple design, which I think would work for birthdays or 'just because' days! I just started with some yellow coredinations card stock adhered to a 6x6  blank. I sanded it lightly, but it doesn't show in the photo. I matted and layered this with some card from stash (desert blooms pad) and then cut the two largest dies from the Spellbinders Heart Squares set. The flower was cut using the Anemone die, out of wool felt, which is really soft and easy to cut. The card is completed with a button from my button box and  tied with bakers twine. A nice simple card for those times we are all in a hurry.

I'm not going to be posting on Friday, we have some family staying over night  and I haven't had time to schedule any more posts...so hope to be back on Saturday!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pip n' Cheese - 12th February

Hi there Bloggers,


Remember I made a few twisted easels recently? Well this is the last of them for now...Tatty Button's little friend Pip: cute!

I covered the top and base with paper from stash and followed through with the green theme, edging the card with Shabby Shutters distress ink (very lightly)  and adding green vintage ribbon and sone buttons from my button jar. I stamped and coloured Pip and his parcel with Promarkers and covered the ball of string with bakers twine to make it 'pop'.


The flower was cut with the Spellbinders Flower Creations die and fixed with a brad. I cut it on white card but coloured it with Spun Sugar distress ink, which I also used on the greeting/stopper(cut from labels 4 small). Just out of the photo in the right corner is a little flower with a mini stamped Pip on it.
