Birthday Pizza anyone???

Hello.... Jenny here :0)

We've had a little swap round with our blog post days here at MtDS HQ so I can share my Paper Smooches Sparks DT cards on a Monday. If you're a fan of Paper Smoches stamps and haven't checked out this fun challenge just hop over using the link above and join in the fun, this week is an 'Anything Goes' challenge so what better time to start playing along!! :0)

For my card I used the Think Fast stamp set, the pizza slice was asking to be made into a meal for two or three....... or even one, depending on your appetite!!

That wandering slice had to go somewhere and taking the position of an 'A' seemed the perfect solution, this would be a great card for a teenager... in fact the whole stamp set would see you through many a teen birthday card :0)

I hope I've inspired you to ink up those Paper Smooches stamps and come and join us in the gallery :0)
Thanks for stopping by

Party Animals

Hey folks it's Tara checking in again - sorry I'm a little late today but we were out being party animals ourselves last night....

For my card this week I thought I'd take the opportunity to squeeze in a very last minute entry into the current Avery Elle challenge which is to be inspired by this photo.

I thought it would be fun to play with the little party animal set - I LOVE this set - it really appeals to my sense of humour, and I thought I could interpret the cable cars into a row of balloons hanging ready for a party.

I cut 6 balloons in the colours of the cables cars and fussy cut them out with a little white border.  I used peacock distress ink and pearl spritz to create a background and then used some black twine for my "cables" to hang the balloons from.  Each balloon was then mounted with pinflair gel for a little dimension before I stamped the fabby sentiment in the corner to finish.

There are currently just a couple of these sets left in stock so be quick if you want to get yours ;-)

L8R Gator!

Hey!  It's Saturday!  A wee change of days for me! I hope the start to the weekend has been good for everyone so far.  It's a lovely sunny day here in central Scotland - I love this time of the year!

I've been inspired (as always) by Paper Smooches and this cute smiley gator! He's from the Zoo Crew set. I've gone for simple colouring with promarkers and some accent papers from Lawn Fawn.

 

 

Hope you have a fabby weekend!

Ahoy !!

Hi there.. again. If you are a follower of the Make The Day Special blog you may have seen that I kinda mis-scheduled my post for today..dur. So instead of not giving you anything new to look at this morning I have another card to share with you today.. greedy I know- two posts in two days ;) hehe.

I have used one of the fabulous new in-stock items from Avery Elle... Knotty.

I love all the cute little sentiments that come with this set ... they are all really punny and are great for the guys in our lives.


Have a super great (really) Friday!!!

A bit of Paper Smooches

Happy Friday everyone.. well this week has gone sooo fast - how is it that same days seem to drag but the week goes by in a blink of an eye.

Today is my day to post over at the fabulous Make The Day Special blog- you number one place to get those hard to get stamps from the US over here in the UK. This week I desided to use some of my recently neglected Paper Smooches stamps and the inspiration they have over at the Paper smooches Sparks blog.....

As you can see as reference to my last post I'm a little addicted to gold right now- I have used both gold paint and gold gilding flakes on todays card. I have used two Paper Smooches sets- Flap Happy and Salutations.

I love how the Salutations set has every sentiment you will ever need all in one set and the fonts are fab!! And Flap Happy...... who doesn't love butterflies?!?!?

Have a great stampy day!

Rounded diamonds or leaves?

Hello.

After a bit of a crafty break some new stamps were needed to kick start the mojo.

I went with some Avery Elle.

I love these rounded diamonds.

But i wanted to use them as leaves...with it being autumn an all. 

I used the matching dies to cut out three shapes on the front panel and used that as a guide top stamp the solid shapes inside.

I finished of with some twine to make a stem and stamped the sentiment from Oh yeah.

Thanks for looking.

I think you're cool!

Hello there! It's a slightly twisted Tuesday. Do you wear flip flops or crack out your winter boots?

I've opted for boots and feeling pretty toasty which is possibly why my thoughts went to creating a wintry scene with this set.

It's called Bitty Buddy Valentines- but there's no sign of smoochiness on this card. I did try to get Pete the penguin to go sliding down the ice but it just looked my glue had failed, so instead he's holding onto a pearl (aka a snowball). Love creating little scenes- and that frame could be used for such a lot of cards.

It's a larger set this one- not the usual size so brilliant value.

Better go,

I'll see you next Tuesday
