Thanks Sew Much

Hi there :)

I must apologise to those who may have seen this card already, crafting time has again been in short supply recently so I'm sharing a card from last months Craft Stamper magazine.... the theme was sewing so I used an older Paper Smooches stamp set called Needle Little Love....

I stamped, coloured and cut out the images by hand when I made this a couple of months ago...... but now Paper Smooches has a die set to match so you don't have too and it's just been added to the store here :)  The circular window gives an extra detail and allowed me to include the soft green background for my images and the sentiment snuggles perfectly within the scene..... I've used a couple of words from Many Thanks to create it :)

   

Thanks for stopping by :)

Inspired Thank You's

Morning all :0)
I hope you had a good weekend and managed to dodge the storms!!! We were down in Witshire and had three inches of rain but arrived back in Cambridgeshire yesterday to 4mm!!! We should have collected some and bought it back with us for the garden... Lol :0)

Anyhow, onto my card today and it's a mad last minute rush for teacher Thank You cards but I found my inspiration on a recent shopping trip.....

and here's the notebook that gave me the idea....

I love stationary and these jotter pads by Happy Jackson appealed to me with there bright speech bubbles so I thought I'd use the inspiration. The white panels are cut and mounted onto a piece of black card before die-cutting the speech bubbles from the panel. I then cut the speech bubbles twice in the four different colours and white embossed Thank You sentiments from different stamp sets onto each colour before sticking two bubbles together for extra thickness. Then I simply glued the panel to a card base and placed the bubbles into the correct spaces and embellished with black stamped stars.

I just need to make two more now and find some suitable gifts before Wednesday.... talk about a last minute Lucy!!!

Here are the stamps I used, click on an image to take you to the store :0)

                               

I'm on this weeks team for the Paper Smooches Sparks challenge and it's 'Anything Goes'... here's my card using Blossoming Buds and the Dots and Dashes dies .... more details on how I made it can be found on my blog :0)

I hope you'll have time to join in, see you in the gallery :0)
