My Superhero!

I am so late in entering the Less is More challenge this week! Still, better late than never right?

So here is my entry into the Masculine themed challenge...

This is another new set I recently bought...it's super great for kids' cards! 

After I stamped the little fella in Baked Brown Sugar, I coloured in his cape and boots in Real Red and Pacific Blue. The sentiment was fussy cut and mounted on Dimensionals and I paper pierced the image panel to give some added interest.

I had my cards placed into a little shop in our new market yesterday! I'm only starting with new baby and christening/baptism card for now, but it's a start and I'm very excited about it! So I shall have to make plenty more now to have on my regular church stall!

Have a lovely Friday...make the most of it with your little ones...back to school next week!

Handmade Christmas decor!

Good morning!

Wow that was a storm last night wasn't it?! It got so bad that Keiran got frightened and had to sleep in my room bless him! I hope you are all safe and there hasn't been too much damage near you.

Whilst the storm was raging, I was doing what crafters do best....craft! And here is what I made!

I have been playing with the Milk Carton Bigz Die. This is an idea I have had for a while, but not had chance to finish it! 

I have used the Typset Alphabet Bigz to create the lettering, and each battery operated candle is covered with the lovely new gold washi tape from the upcoming Spring/Summer catalogue.

Here is the full garland...

It is all fastened together using Cherry Cobbler baker's twine and I have added a Frosted Finishes embellishment in between each letter. 

Isn't it lovely? And it is easy to turn the candles on and off through the holes in the sides, which were created using the 2nd smallest die from the Circles Collection Framelits.

An embossed get well card

Hello!
I had a little play with a colour combo I have never thought of, thanks to the Colour Throwdown challenge this week :)

I embossed a piece of Pool Party card with my not very often used Houndstooth EF... I really should use this more often!

The flower is from the Flower Shop set, stamped in Night Of Navy, and punched with the Pansy Punch. The Chevron Ribbon is Calypso Coral and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments, stamped in Night Of Navy and cut out using the Word Window Punch. I finished with some silver glass glitter in the middle of the flower for a bit of sparkle.

So what do you think of the colour combo? I think it has a nice, fresh feel to it!

Supplies

Cardstock - Pool Party, Whisper White

Stamps - Flower Shop, Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Punches/Dies - Word Window, Pansy Punch, Circles Collection Framelits

A CAS sketch for Less Is More

Good morning LIMettes! 

How are you? We are having a bit of an Indian summer here in Bolton, are you? 

Well, on to the challenge at Less is More now, and this week we have a sketch.

Here are my cards...

This first one I've made is using Pleasant Poppies, and I made a frame using 2 framelits. 

The sentiment is from Express Yourself.

This second one is made using Christmas Collectibles and More Merry Messages.

I heat embossed the bauble in gold and the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler. 

I also heat embossed the edges of the circle panel and the card blank to give definition while keeping the card very CAS. I fussy cut the sentiment to overhang the panel.

Cardstock - Whisper White, Crumb Cake

Stamps - Pleasant Poppies, Express Yourself, Christmas Collectibles, More Merry Messages, 

Ink - Versamark, Poppy Parade, Old Olive, Basic Black
