Craftaganza Make

A very good morning and I'm back to share another make from Craftaganza organised by the fabulous CRAFTERS COMPANION...Today I would like to share one of the things we made in My Claires class

I was so excited when I saw what we were making as this is my kinda card...just oozes touchy feely. The tiny tag is from the Scalloped Tags Die'sire tag die set...The mittens are from a Sizzix bigz die and cut out of felt...delish!

The card stock is Core'dinations Core Couture stunning card and the glitter doesn't come off in your hands! and a Die'sire border die...which cuts like a dream....A touch of Gingham ribbon :)...lush satin ribbon and a couple of star buttons to finish

I'm entering this into ~

We Wish You A Merry Christmas

Morning all, can you believe it's September!!

Another sample card for you this morning from Cuddly Buddly. I'm just loving these new releases. These bears I have to say are my favourite.

Still got lots to do, I seem to be meeting myself coming back at the moment.

Lots of challenges out there and not enough time for me to take part in them all at the moment. Lots of new stamps and I haven't inked them up yet either. Hopefully things will slow down a bit for me then I can.

Anyway this card I am entering into this weeks challenge over on the

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge

where this week it is "Scallop Mania" the DT want to see Scallops somewhere on your creation.

Fabby creations from the DT.

Sketch and Stash #13

Well the weather here today is dull and muggy. Not got much planned today so a bit of creating is in order.

I made this card last night for the challenge over on Sketch and Stash run by the ever so talented Becky *waving at you* Fab challenge and lots of inspiration from the DT.

My new stash is the scrummy Papermania Blueberry Hill paper pad a bargain at £2.19 from Trago Mills in Truro. Real bargain prices My Daisy and Dandelion stamps were only £2.49. I got Forever Friends Christmas stamp set for £6.19 wow now that is value for money eh? (Wendy definitely worth a visit to Liskeard Trago)

Anyway back to me card more New stash is Gorjuss girl stamp which I have had since the singles were launched only opened last night shhh don’t tell my hubby and new Prima flowers from my local craft shops sale and i added some card candy in the centre of the flowers. Corners are made using sizzix sizzlet corner die.

Well I’m off for a cuppa and some lunch, hope you have a fab day whatever you are doing.

Thanks for stopping by,

Stampin hugs!

ABC Design Team Card

Q is for………..

“QUILTED”

I have gone for a quilted effect with the Cuddly Buddly design paper and used faux stitching around the squares. The stamp is a Beartrix Potter named the Tailor of Gloucester, very appropriate for this weeks theme I thought.

I do hope you can find the time to join us this week and I look forward to seeing your “Quilted” creations.

Cuttlebug Sweets For My Sweet!

"For My Sweetheart"

Welcome to our Love Bug Weekend on Cuttlebug Challenge we have a fun filled weekend planned with lots of goodies up for grabs. Starting off with our Love Bug Blog Hop. Firstly I'd like to show you an idea for making a gift for your loved one.



Made using Sizzix Takeaway box die and embossed with cuttlebug hearts embossing folder. Tied with a luxurious red ribbon.

Here is the inside of the box with the yummy sweets inside.

It wouldn't be a SWEET weekend without a bit of my sugar addiction with a card made using the adorable "MacBeth" by Sugarnellie available @ Funkykits I think you will agree this combined with the box of sweets makes the perfect gift for any loved one.


I am honoured to be part of such a very talented team of ladies on the cuttlebug challenge and while you been visiting my fellow design team mates you will be collecting words along the way.
