I had a few comments that the owl badge I made for Telford would make a good swap - so I did!

More Christmas!

It seems a tad wrong posting this card this morning as the weather is lovely and sunny!

Following on from my previous post this is another card using the Wondrous Wreath stamp set and matching framelits but in a different, less traditional colour way.

The base card is Basic Gray and has a layer of Smoky Slate stamped with the Hardwood stamp.

Everything else is using the Wondrous Wreath set and the framelits in the following colours:
Smoky Slate
Lost Lagoon
Blackberry Bliss
Silver Glimmer Paper

Whooo's looking at you?!

Apologies again for the delay in blogging - hope you all got the petal parade set, banner punch and stamps (and any other sale-a-bration goodies you fancied!).

This is another sample card I made recently featuring the brilliant hardwood stamp which was popular at the recent parties.

The base card uses naturals ivory card and I've used some baked brown sugar stamped on with early espresso for the hardwood.

The fab owls feature a 'stomach' of paper from the sale-a-bration freebie and are peeking through a circle surrounded by a scalloped punched circle.  So cute.

I do love the owl punch and will have another play with it soon.

Birthday Banners

A really good 'man' card today (in these colours anyway).

The colours used in this card are Soft Suede, Coastal Cabana & So Saffron.

The background stamp is 'Hardwood' and in the new seasonal catalogue.

The gorgeous little banners are stamped in all three colours and punched out with the matching punch.
The punch and stamp set are currently available separately, each as a freebie with a £45 order!!

The banners are placed on some linen thread for a line.

Sentiment from 'Label Love' and placed on some white organza ribbon that I have coloured with soft suede ink to tie in.

Freebies only available until 31st March!!!
