It’s been so long since I used this stamp set, I had forgotten how cool it is. Maybe next year I will use it for the big six as I know make up is what all the preteens want, that and skin care stuff.
This one however is for a lash tech so the sentiment is perfect.
Now I said in my last post you would have to wait a while but then I remembered I made a few others that have already been received so I will post them now and when you see the others next year I will hopefully be on another obsession lol.
Another style of card I’m enjoying is using my cricut to cut multiple layers, they recently introduced the ability on the iPad and I’m obsessed. Expect to see more of this style lol.
My only criticism is the original letters needed to be closer together and stretched lol. Also I had to make the envelope and that took longer than the card lol.
My mum loved it though and that’s what matters most.
When I bought this die set from Papertrey Ink I had no idea how tiny the images would be and no idea how to use it either, I saw a card on pinterest that used a different die and I thought I might be able to recreate that. Thankfully it worked but its definitely not my favourite card lol.
I got the idea for this card from one I saw on instragram but I can’t remember who made it ( if you know please send me a message so I can give credit)
Of course this is inspired by not a copy because I didn’t have any of the items she used. The beer bottle was from a magazine freebie months ago and the cheers die is an old Mft one.
I did enjoy making this card and it is one I will definitely be having another go at in the future
Dies: bottle - simply cards and papercraft freebie, blueprints 13 and cheers die both MFT
Card: pear pizazz from stampin up, ocean tides from Papertrey ink cement from MFT and silver mirri from B&M
Sentiment: drinks party from Simon Says Stamp
I have been a bit obsessed with the new colorado craft company stamps by Anita Jerram and wanted to purchase a few, whilst on a call with some friends i mentioned this and that they looked similar to a free set I had received years ago, of course I then went on a hunt and found this stamp. The style is very similar but I don't even know which magazine it came from.
I have used that sketch again and you wont have seen the last of it either, obsessed is definitely the right word. This card was for my mother-in-law and she loves purple.
I was in the acetate card front zone and I was looking at all my coverplates and this card just jumped into my head so of course I had to make it and I had the perfect person in mind too.
The stamps aren't mine but when my friend brought them to a crafty get together I knew I wanted them, on my next trip to florida I think they might fall into my basket lol.
The acetate cards were made after watching a jennifer mcguire video and they were so much fun to make, in fact I made four all different so expect to see the rest soon.
Only the second outing for this stamp set but it’s already a firm favourite. I was inspired by the design team for the placement and I still had the shaped die on my desk from the hedgehog card so I decided to use it again before putting it away.

This card was inspired by one I saw and although it looks nothing like the original it was still my inspiration. I just wish I could remember where I saw it lol.
This stamp has a bit of a funny story attached to it, my friend Jane and myself were shopping in florida about two years ago when she spotted a huge set of penguin stamps, it was the only set and we both loved it. However it was quite expensive so after carrying it around for a while Jane put it back and I decided to check the price and asked the lady in the store who proceeded to tell me that it was in the half price section, well before I could grab it Jane had it back in her basket lol. I asked her if I could stamp the penguin wreath (my favourite image) and she said yes and I have finally coloured it in and used it. Before I posted this I asked Jane if she had ever used the set and she said "nope lol" and I replied "well at least one of us has now"

The only stamp sets I have bought this year have come from Clearly Besotted and I have loved them all and strangely enough used them all.....well that is certainly different to normal years.
You may or may not know but I am a Welsh lady living in England and I love anything with sheep on it.I bought this set to make cards for my fellow welsh people but instead made them to send to Florida lol. Oh well there is always next year lol. Maybe I could get a headstart on those cards.....don't worry I almost fell off my chair laughing at that one too.
Simple cards following a design I made last year, I do seem to have said that a lot this year but if it ain't broke don't fix it ( my self proclaimed motto lol)
