Painted Harvest Merry Wishes

I'm happy to say that the Painted Harvest stamp set will carry over when the autumn/winter catalogue retires on 2nd January, as will the coordinating Leaf Punch. However, the bundle is only available while supplies last.  If you're thinking of getting this set then don't miss out on the 10% bundle saving.

This is my take on using the pretty 2-step flower as a Christmas wreath, stamped in Pool Party and Tranquil Tide.  The Hardwood stamp is one of my go-to stamps, it never fails to give a great background - love it.   I finished off the card with a pretty gold bow and some red glitter on the berries.  Thank you for visiting x

Petal Passions for you - sneak peek

Here's a sneak peek at a couple of stamps from the new Petal Passions stamp set which will be available in the spring/summer catalogue from 3rd January 2018.  Did you spot the pretty border?  The die I used is from a set that coordinates with this stamp set. 

I water coloured the image in Pool Party and Pear Pizzaz.   I heat embossed the greeting in silver on an oval punched out from my go to set of dies, the Stitched Framelits.  The greeting is actually from another new stamp set called Cake Soiree. I finished off with a few triple dots using the fine tip of my Basic Gray marker.  Thanks for stopping by x

Life happens, coffee helps

Hello crafters and friends.  Coffee anyone?  I don't drink a lot of coffee but it most certainly is my choice of beverage with breakfast every morning to kick-start my day. Yum.

Today's card uses the Coffee Cafe bundle and coordinating Coffee Break Designer Series Paper.  I also used the Burlap stamp on the coffee cup.  A piece of burlap ribbon and faux stitching around the topper adds the finishing touches.

A list of supplies used is at the bottom of the page.  Thank you for stopping by x

Halloween cat treat in a mug

Everyone who attended my classes in October received one of these super cute halloween treat mugs.  There are a number of tutorials on youtube for making mugs using the envelope punch board. I took inspiration form Julie Dematteo's coffee mug treat holder tutorial. I just made mine a tad taller than Julie's.

I am very much a cat person so when I saw the cat punch in the autumn/winter catalogue I was over the moon. I love this punch! The spider's web is from the Sweet Home stamp set, as is the bat that I stamped on the handle. I lightly sponged the edges of the mug with black ink and coloured the rhinestone with an alcohol marker to complete the project.

I don't think I have ever shared a photo of my cat.  She's a pretty long haired tortie,  take a peek at her further down this post...

I remembered to take a photo after making the second batch. I just needed to buy some more treats.

Here's my kitty...  Thanks for stopping by x
