Mittens!

Good afternoon!

I have a super quick card to show you before I head off to visit my parents in Huddersfield...

I haven't made many Christmas cards yet this year, and with it still feeling wintery with the weather, I think I got inspired lol!

Quite simply, this is made using the Make a Mitten stamp set, and the Nicely Knit Stampin' Around Wheel...first time I used it! The sentiment is.....yup! Teeny Tiny Sentiments! All the stamping is done with Riding Hood Red to give a Nordic feel.

Supplies

Cardstock - Whisper White

Stamps - Make a Mitten, Teeny Tiny Sentiments, Nicely Knit Stampin' Around Wheel

Ink - Riding Hood Red

I'm off now so have a lovely day!

More Beads for Less Is More

Good morning!

I have another card here for the Less Is More Beads challenge. As I have mentioned before, I am using up bits that are on my desk and this is made using a strip of card I had stamped with the Stampin' Around Very Vintage Wheel, but it hadn't quite stamped properly....

So I cut it up and arranged it like this and added beads around it.

The sentiment is from Happiest Birthday Wishes.

Supplies

Stamp - Stampin' Around Very Vintage, Happiest Birthday Wishes

Ink - Cherry Cobbler

Blue Butterflies

Hello again!

Well after over a week off crafting and blogging it was a challenge to walk into my craft room this evening, mainly because I remember the mess I left it in on Christmas Eve!

But I did, and this is what I've made...

I've been dying to have a play with this gorgeous Papillon Potpourri stamp set since I got it! There is also a punch to make cutting the larger butterflies out a doddle!

I have also used my Stampin' Around wheel for the first time. I've been a bit put off buying one due to needing a different ink cartridge for each colour, so I only bought a black cartridge for mine to give it a go. However, I wanted to do this one in blue, so I removed the ink cartridge and ran the wheel over my ink pad. It works just fine as long as you only want to roll the length of a card, then it starts to fade, and the colour isn't constant, but for this card I really like that effect :)

Can you see my 'hidden' butterfly? I also stamped one on the bottom right corner inside the card.

I wanted to use a sympathy sentiment with this card but I don't have one that I thought looked right, so I am leaving it for now.

Supplies used:

Card Stock - Whisper White

Stamp - Papillon Potpourri, Very Vintage Stampin' Around

Inks - Not Quite Navy, Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, Midnight Muse

Punch - Elegant Butterfly

Die - Edglits Adorning Accents

Other - Whisper White Baker's Twine
