It's a Girl

Good morning all, and happy Friday, I hope you have had a great week. Today's card was one I made when my daughter was having Willow. In the end this one didn't get used, but it's a nice one to have on hand for work colleagues etc.

I had seen something similar on Pinterest using a stocking die to make a baby boys card, so I looked through my stash to find something I could use.

I found the perfect thing in my Christmas stash, the Lawn Fawn and Simon Says Stamp Merry Christmouse set. I used one of the dies from the set to cut the stocking from cream and pink striped card.  Then I paper-pieced the stripe on top of the cream to look like little baby booties.

I cut a white card panel using an Avery Elle Wonky Stitched Ellements die, and heat embossed a greeting on to this using the Avery Elle City Celebrations stamp set, and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink.

I added fun foam to the back of the panel, and tied a piece of ribbon around the top. This was just a small piece I had left over from a few years ago, which says it's a girl! 

Then I added this on to a pink mat, and used some paper from the stash as a background, before adding it all to a white card blank.

Hope you like it, take care and have a great weekend, and I'll see you next week.

Merry Christmouse

Good morning all, I hope you are having a good week. I am very pleased to say that mum is now making a great recovery and could well be coming home tomorrow. Fingers crossed xx

We have two cards for the price of one today, as I wanted to try out a couple of new embossing powders from Wow that I got in their recently released members kit. I combined them with the Lawn Fawn Merry Christmouse stamp set and the Wow - To You and Yours set.

I stamped the sentiment from the Wow set with Versamark ink and then heat embossed it, firstly with Wow Primary Apple Red powder, and then on the second card I mixed Metallic Silver with Twinklebelle Glitter to emboss the sentiment and stars.

I stamped the mice and cheese with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then coloured them with Copic Markers. Then I stamped a couple of tiny red hearts using Versafine Satin Red ink.

I backed both of the cards with a coordinating colour matt and then added them to A6 note cards. Then I added a few matching sequins to finish them off.

Hope you like them, take care and I'll see you soon.
