My Favourite Stamp.....

Hello there!

I hope you are having a fab week!

I have another challenge for you this week from Sweet Stampin....and this one is a tricky one as you'll need to make a decision! We want to see your projects featuring your favourite stamp!

Now I had to think long and hard about this challenge as I have quite a few "favourites"! In the end though I decided to opt for something I thoroughly enjoy in life....


Yep - it had to be a cake!

Now out of all my cake stamps...and believe me I own loads....this is my favourite! It's a brilliant size, great for making an impact on the front of a card without being too big. I also love those swirls - it's just so pretty! It's great to colour with Promarkers (as I have done here) but it also works well when paper piecing too.

As you can see I have created this Birthday card for one of my friends - Alex also enjoys a spot of afternoon tea! 

For more favourite stamp inspiration pop by the Sweet Stampin challenge blog and take a peek at all the gorgeous DT cards that have been created. While you are there you can also take a peek at our fab sponsor this week....


Thanks for popping by today,

Krafty Christmas

Hello there!

Welcome back to my little card blog! This time I am back with a new Christmas challenge for you from Christmas at Sweet Stampin. 

This month we are wishing you a krafty Christmas - yes we want to see your Christmas creations that feature a little bit of kraft paper.

I love the colour of kraft paper and think it works really well with blues and also with greens, as demonstrated in my Christmas card....


I've used a lovely holly image and sentiment which has been coloured with my Promarkers. I then made the berries pop by adding a sparkle with my red Stickles.

I've used some gorgeous holly backing paper, along with some plain green paper and also my kraft paper. Finally I have added a little detail with some white faux stitching.

Pink, pink, lot's of pink!

Hello there!

I hope you're well and have had a lovely week!

I'm back with a new challenge from Sweet Stampin - and this week we have a fab colour challenge for you. We want to see your "perfect in pink" projects!

If you've popped by my blog before you'll know how much I love a girlie card - give me a spot of pink or purple and some sparkles and I'm a happy crafter!


I've coupled all that pink with a girlie bath....some bubbles and lots of polka dots! The perfect birthday card I think....the only thing missing is a bit of cake!

I have printed my Digi Stamp Boutique image with my Promarkers, and I added a bit of sparkle to the bubbles with my Stickles. I have then used a combination of pink plain and patterned papers for the background, along with a printed sentiment.
