And…Relax!

Morning! Can't you tell it's the summer holidays!

There needs to be a whole ton of relaxing done.. except I'm not feeling it quite so much!

A card like this would be very welcome right now!

This is probably the simplest card ever.. but just goes to show that sometimes 'less' is most definitely ok!

I've used these lovely products- and for those that thought the font on Louie's ABCs dies might not be too large and only suitable for scrapbooking (ahem.. that would have been me ;-) ).. it's NOT. 

It's perfect.

It also subscribes to the 'the bigger the product the more quickly finished the card' school of thought. A CAS quickie at only about 7 minutes in total!

The simple shadow is enough to give a little contrast and the tiny details are courtesy of the Hello Sunshine stamp set

Do try 'minimal'.. it's a wonderful feeling!
Oh.. and don't forget to breathe.. and relax today!

See you next week,

Flying High!

Happy Tuesday everyone! It looks like the perfect day for a flight. I've gone all Mary Poppins on you..remember the 'Let's Go Fly A Kite' song where all the kites take off into the air? I thought the little creatures could do with some freedom too. Ok, there's no kite, but the balloons from Hello Sunshine make a good substitute!

I've also added in the little deer from Into The Woods.. he was the perfect 'weight' at the bottom to make sure they didn't fly too high! I did cut the sentiment into 4 pieces because masking it was going to be too tricky so I've now got extra mileage from my set!

Both sets are in stock & just waiting to be set free! Hope you get time to fly a kite today too ;-)

See you next week,

Hello Sunshine

Hi everyone!

Another Saturday - don't the weeks just fly by!   I'm in a Lawn Fawn mood today!  I love this set - Hello Sunshine. It's so cheery!  I also love the Scripty Hello Lawn Cuts die which is a perfect font match to the "hello sunshine" greeting in the set.  I've kept this card simple - one cute little bee!

This die gives such a lovely clean cut - I'm very impressed! 

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Hi - Tara hijacking the end of this post to update you on the situation in store.  There is still an ongoing issue with the technical back-end of the store.  Unfortuately as my technical people are based it the USA, there is an issue with the time delay.  I have just had a "we're still working on it" update email but I still don't know how long it will take until it is fixed.  Keep an eye on Facebook for further updates and I'll let you know on my post tomorrow if it's resolved too.   Thanks for your patience.  Tara x

Newton and Winston

Hello.

I have three cards today using Newton and Winston from Newtons Nook.

I have gone for three different looks.

First up is a shaped card and i used Newtons birthday bash.

I coloured Newton with pro markers and for  the presents i stamped onto lots of scraps of patterned paper i had on my table before fussy cutting.

For my next card we have Winstons birthday. 

Winston is coloured with copics.

I used Lawn Fawn Hello sunshine papers and Stitched journalling card.

                                              Card number three...And i used Newtons antics.

This time i coloured newton with my zig pens and almost everything was coloured with them and a pen spritzer.

I kept it very simple and its only one layer.

Thanks for looking.

Fly Away With Me!

Hi!  It was love at first sight for me when I saw these gorgeous paper pads from Lawn Fawn, but then I am a complete paper addict!  For my card this week I teamed up papers from Lets Polka and Hello Sunshine - keeping it very simple!   

The sentiment and balloons are from the Hello Sunshine stamp set.  I love the font - the combination of capitals and script just works so well.  I used a mask for the stamping to cover the heart shaped balloon - a really easy shape to cut! 

I just love how all these products co-ordinate! There are also dies and bakers twine to add!

Hope you like it!
