Baubles

I had a lovely time at the craft show yesterday and bought lots of lovely new stash. I bought some very different stamps as I want to try something different and can't wait to play with these. These are 2 bauble cards I made for Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine using a new Dovecraft Decoupage pack. I had to design a bauble template and then make 2 cards from the pack. The first one using some cute decoupage and I used Memory Box stitched snowflakes and added a button and bow from Dovecraft.

The second one uses various strips from the pack, lace from Crafty Ribbons and pearls.

More icecream

This is the second of the Belle and Boo cards I made for Quick Cards magazine using Belle and Boo stamps. I created a scene which has been coloured with Copics with chalk for the sky. I stamped the starfish, which is part of the set, onto ribbon. The papers are LOTV Nitwits Sunny Side Up and I added a lovely big MFT stitched sun.

Bit of a mix of weather here this week but it has been nice to have those blistering hot temperatures and better for sleeping at nights too. I love sunny days but not too hot. Got all the housework done yesterday so popping into my fave coffee shop this morning before the food shopping and a crafting afternoon hopefully.

A day at the seaside

If you have the latest Quick Cards magazine you will see this card along with two others which I had published. I was asked to make 3 simple cards using this stamp set to show what you can make without buying lots more dies/embellishments etc. For this one I created a scene using various stamps from the set. Coloured with Copics of course with chalk for the sky. I paper pieced her dress for a change. The papers are Nitwits Sunny Side Up. I simply used a Memory Box banner die to add some bunting.
