New Poinsettia Stamp and Die Set

I've been making a few  more cards for the Xmas box using this fab new Poinsettia die and stamp set from Marianne Designs.   Also love this new scalloped edge square die set which gives a layered card just a nice bit of extra detail.  Full list of products used below.

A little bit Vintage

I've gone just a little bit vintage today with this gorgeous image from Mo's Digital Pencil.  She's called Cathy and you can find her here in the store.

I matched her with these vintage feel papers from Melissa Frances and this gorgeous frame  die set is a new one from Marianne Designs-cat no: LR0670.  It is so pretty!!

Happy weekend everyone!

Pussywillows - new challenge at Mo's Digital Pencil challenge blog

Morning - think we need a bit of yellow in our lives to overcome the rain we've had for the last couple of days!

So, this is Pussywillows from Mo's Digital Pencil for the new challenge today on Mo's challenge blog here.  The theme is Birthdays  which as always, is optional  - just make sure you use a Mo image of course!

I think Pussywillows must be up there with my favouritest of Mo images!

The papers are Dovecraft, and the gorgeous dies are from the Wildflowers sets 1 and 2 from the Tim Holtz range for Sizzix.  The corner honeycomb cut out die is also from the Tim Holtz range. Of course, it wouldn't be complete without a Marianne Die or two, as follows!

Spring themed Challenge at Mo's DP2 Challenges

Can you believe it's the beginning of April already today - what a strange year it has been so far but we must do all what we must to keep well and all those around us safe and healthy.  Our online challenges and blogs are all so important to stay connected and we have a new challenge starting today over at Mo's DP2 Challenges with a fab easy theme of Spring.

My card uses an oldie image from Mo - Easter Carly - and she is due to be retired but is still in the shop at the minute so grab her while you can!!

Of course I used a few Marianne products too - including this stitched oval from a shaped card set, and also the frame which I made out of three small oval frames layered behind the image- great when you don't have the exact die to fit!  Also the sentiment is from a gorgeous new set from Marianne this year!  Details below.

This is another one of the cards I made for Making Cards magazine in January using another of Mo's stunning images - Love You To Bits.  And she now comes in a pre-coloured version  if you prefer, here.

The papers are Teresa Collins and the cut-out corner die is by Marianne  - CR1438.  The little round lacy die is by Cheery Lynn and the sentiment comes with the image so you're all set to go!  

Hope it's not too cold or snowy  where you are- looks like we've escaped the worst of it so far!

There is a fabulous set of stamps with Making Cards magazine this month so I'm off to have a play!

Passion for Promarkers Anything Goes

I cannot believe that another week has flown by!  The weather has been so fabulous up here that I've not had much time for crafting- been in the garden and also looking after our gorgeous Violet whilst her Mum and Dad are busy preparing their new home to move into shortly.  

Still managed to sneak this make in quickly which is for our Anything Goes Challenge starting today at Passion for Promarkers - always a popular theme, chosen by our lovely Sue!  As we're being sponsored by Dr Digi some of the team have been able to work with their images and mine is the brill image of Captain Thunderpants!!

Of course he's coloured with my Promarkers  and then I've used some stitched edge dies from Marianne, along with the Banner Letter dies - see below for Deets:

Stitched Rectangle Die Set - CR1390

Stitched Circle Die Set - CR1360

Nick has managed to put his back out something chronic at the minute so he looks a bit like this hobbling about!!  I actually may have to go and mow the lawn today - eek!!

As above, our sponsor this week is Dr Digi Stamps who are offering the lucky winner two images of their choice.

Don't forget to check out the fab makes of my teamies here and also check back later to find out the lucky winners of our awesome list of prizes from our Anniversary challenge last week.
