Snow Noel

I hope you are all loving the CC Designs themed week so far over at MMCS Blog.. there are so many fabulous CC Designs Stamps out there now it would be hard not to - they are super cute!

I decided to use the gorgeous Snow Noel... loving these snowmen!

I used my Copics to colour the Snow Noel stamp and added Pan Pastels around the edge. The papers are Kaisercraft Mint Twist and of course i added some pearls, a dash of ribbon & loads of Kraft!

I have gotta dash as i am preparing for the shop sale on Saturday!

Cute Halloween Box

It's Tuesday so time for my usual weekly creation for MMCS.

I just love the latest CC Designs Halloween Stamps, they are suuuuuper cute and 

perfect for creating cute little gifts and treats bags like this one...

I used a Sizzix Bigz XL die that i have had for ages to create the actual box.

The papers are Bazzill Basics All Hallows Eve and the image is from CC Designs Meoples Witches & Goblins Stamp Set, if you haven't got this set get it now it's fabby!!

I also used a Dienamics Sentiment Strip and i used a stamp from the Spider Web Die & Stamp Set.

The spider is also from this set and i added some funky googly eyes.

I will catch up with you all very soon.

Well hasn't autumn suddenly kicked in? It's cold in the mornings and getting dark at night..winter is on the way me thinks. It's just more excuses to stay in with a cuppa & craft - yay!!

A few weeks ago i was very lucky to win a challenge over at All That Scraps and i won some of there gorgeous stamps - so i choose an oriental set as i had never seen it before. I obviosuly had to ink them up pretty quick and this is what i came up with....

I am quite pleased how this came out as i don't normally do oriental but these are just super cute.

I had an old SEI paper pad lying around i had for ages and with the lovely gold and black tones i thought this would compliment the image beautifully. I also used the Magic Flourish by Memory Box. The sentiment is an old Craftwork Cards Die Cut Circle and i added some lovely black pearls.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges....

Fussy & Fancy - Trip Around The World
Fab N Funky - Starts With F (Flourish)

Over at MMCS we have just taken delivery of the new CC Designs and omg they are so cute!
I luckily got to play with one of the new stamps from the Laugh Lines Collection called Garden.
So here is a nice quick and simple yet bright & colourful sample...

Along with the new stamps come fabby new Cutters Dies. I have the new Flower Border & Grass Border Dies on this card...love the flower one, you can do so much with it! I coloured my lovely gardening girl with my copics and used lots of bright funky papers from the latest Fancy Pants Summer Soul paper pad! I made the lil bunting flags from washi tape and a bit of wire as i couldn't find any twine, god knows where it is!! I also added some jewels & a lil sentiment.

Well often i say Pigs Can Fly and it's literally the case here, it's the sooo cute Cupig from CC Designs!! Sooooo adorable don't you think?

I kept the layout super sinple to showcase the papers (also cased the idea from my blog pal Michelle!), plus the fact i made this when i was away and had virtually no embellishments with me!

Over at MMCS, we have just had the fabby new CC Designs Stamps arrive and i luckily got to have a quickly sneaky lil play with one of the new stamps called Laugh Lines - Flowers.
