Congratulations!

Supplies:  Shall we dance stamp - Lili of the Valley, Sentiment - 
SRM Sticker, die - x-cut, patterned paper - Persnikety - 
Lilybee design, metallic paper - Canson, White card blank, 
wink of stella, copics, roller adhesive 
and glossy accents.

This is a cute Lili of the Valley stamp ("shall we dance").  I partially coloured with copics and cut with a square die cut - then realigned and cut into a rectangle.  Added an SRM Sticker and some sequins.

I added some wink of stella to the dress - impossible to photograph.  Thought this would make a cute Wedding Card.

Thanks for peeking. Hope you have a great start to your week.

WMS - Nov PJ Party! - Interactive Christmas Card

So it's fun times over at Waltzingmouse Stamps as it's the monthly PJ Party!

I should have tried to do more of the challenges - but there are not enough hours in the day with a new puppy in the house (who is doing very well by the way!).  Here's a photo of him trying to sneak into a sailing bag to go sailing two weeks ago!.  I noticed he didn't try to do the same thing this morning - he obviously knew the layer of frost outside meant it was COLD!.

 Anyhow, on to my card.

Supplies:  Seasons of Love stamp set and Compliments of the Season set - 

WMS, Spellbinders heart dies, vellum - Papermania, 

blue & metallic cardstock - Canson, ultramarine stazon

 ink, wink of stella clear, blue sequins - Studio Calico, 

machine stitching and tombow roller adhesive.

I used sequins in this shaker type card (yipee! it's interactive!!!) under embossed vellum with scored metallic cardstock that I had left over from another project.  I stamped the sentiment from the Seasons of Love stamp set and die cut the little heart and then stamped it with a tiny starburst from the Compliments of the Season set.  I then added tiny dots of wink of stella to each starburst which doesn't show in this photo.

I am also putting this into the WMS Christmas Card Challenge - February - "Incorporate hearts into your card".

Thanks for peeking.

Waltzingmouse Stamps - November Pajama Party!

Supplies:  Compliments of the season sentiment - WMS, Festive Foliage - 

WMS, Textured cardstock - Papermania, Swiss dot - Bazzill, 

Distress ink - peeled paint, tea dye and walnut stain, Tuxedo 

black ink - memento, pop dots and roller adhesive.

I decided to play along with this month's Pajama Party over at Waltzingmouse Stamps - lots of fun challenges this month.  Challenge 2 for this party is "Pick a card, any card as long as it's Christmas"!, so I made two!

I am loving all the cards with diagonal designs and decided to give this trend a twirl!.

Added some glossy accents to the berries for added dimension.  I also added it to the card base with pop dots.

Thanks so much for peeking.  Make sure you jump into your night attire and pop over to the "Party" - check it out here - it starts at 11.55 pm GMT.

Meet York!

Meet York!  He arrived into our family on Monday and is just a complete cutie.  He is 7 weeks old and we will "puppywalk" him for the next year for the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind.

He is a golden retriever/ x labrador.  If you want to see some photos of him when he was younger you can check them out here.  You can spot him as he is the blondest/white one in the litter.

Thanks for stopping by - hope you have a blessed day.

Puppy Proofing!

We are waiting for our next Guide Dog Puppy to arrive.  We are due to collect him/her next Monday so the house and garden are in the throes of being "puppy proofed" again!.

We are hopefully getting a puppy from the "y" litter but don't know it's name yet.

Want to see some amazing photos of these cuties?

Thanks for stopping by - hope you got a good dose of puppy cuteness!

Best Wishes!

Supplies:  stitched sentiment stamp - The Crafts Meow, 

Feather die - mft, white dotted swiss cardstock - Bazzill 

Basics, cerise cardstock - Canson, enamel - Ranger industries,

tuxedo black ink - memento and pop dots.

I loved how Laura Bassen created this - love how she used up scraps and stamped the sentiment twice to make a beautiful card.

I have these stitched sentiments for quite a while since I saw this card by Jennifer McGuire.

I used cerise pink cardstock that looks very bright here in this post! and some scrap swiss dot cardstock that I had in my stash to cut out the feather.

Enamel dots are all the rage at the moment but I didn't have any white ones - I grabbed my bottle of enamel by Ranger Industries and created my own!
