Building Tags

Today I'd like to introduce the new Tag Builder from Frantic Stamper.  Its perfect for any tags you'll need for any occasion.  It comes with little flowers, balloons and an HB2U die.  You have to love the scalloped edge, how pretty is that.

Im sharing three different variations using the same set.  Such a versatile die to add to your collection.

Whose a Brainy Bear?

This little fellow is Brainy Bear and he's part of the new launch coming tomorrow Sunday at Lili of the Valley.  There really are some, in fact all of the new images are just delightfully gorgeous and Brainy Bear is no exception.  I just love all the titles on the books and that little bear swinging on the Mortarboard, thats pretty cute.

Make sure you stop by LOTV tomorrow because I have a feeling these are going to be very popular and will sell fast.  There will be bundle deals too.


Thanks for popping in today

Sparkle at Southern Girls

Its time for a new challenge at Southern Girls and its one you'll love we want to see some "sparkle".  Be it glitter, sequins or stars, just anything that sparkles.

We are sponsored by Krafters Cart and I used a little monster from Gerda Steiner Designs Monster Fun stamp set. I turned her into a girl monster with a sparkly bow in her hair.  The sentiment is cut from silver glitter paper because its amazing.  More sparkle from the silver sequins.

I hope you'll get all your sparkles out and come join us.


See you at Southern Girls

It's your day!

Time for a Kennedy Grace post today featuring Graces Little Notes stamp set.

I stamped and coloured the image 3 times to place inside the little windows of the die.  Each image is placed slightly differently so the 3 windows are not exactly the same. I then chose a complimentary striped paper to put in the background, popping the cream panel up on foam tape.  The card  was all constructed when I realised I hadn't stamped the sentiment.  Stamping on a completed card with foam tape under the panel is not the ideal way to stamp.  Despite that its actually not too bad, a little crooked but not awful.

A Hand to Hold

Oh my goodness you really must mark the 20th May on your calendars for the new Lili of the Valley release.  There are so many gorgeous images coming.  This one is called a Hand to Hold.  Isn't it just so sweet?  I'm totally smitten with this one and several of the others in this release,  I know thats not hard with LOTV images.

Coloured using pencil with a few flowers fro embellishment.  I just think these images show off themselves without needing anything else.

Thank you

Todays card features one of the new word dies from Frantic Stamper.  "Thank you" in a lovely brush script. I love how its 2 separate words giving way more versatility.                                             

I used the previously released Japanese Paper Doll die which is really adorable. I love how you can piece her together and change her hairstyle.   Another favourite die is the Chevron Border and Edger which I used top and bottom to complete this cheery thank you card.

Flower Garden

Today I am sharing a card using one of the lovely new Frantic Stamper background stamps called Flower Garden. These are lovely big stamps that cover a big 6 x 6 inches. Not only can they be used as a background stamp but they can be coloured and used as design paper.

For my card I fussy cut around some of the image. I also used the new Sending Hugs/love word die popped up on foam with the addition of sequins for a bit of sparkle.

There are 6 of these background stamps in the May release so pop to the store to take a look. Amazingly Fran hand makes these which is awfully clever.
