Festive Cocktails

Hello, well it's my last blog post before Christmas and I've just got one more card to share...

perfect for that friend who loves a festive tipple.... we all have one of those 😉

I've used the Newtons Nook Cocktail Mixer stamp set and chose three of the drinks to colour

and die cut. The three windows are made using the Triple Peek-a-Boo windows die which

is unfortunately out of stock but any shape could be substituted here.

Behind the windows on the card base I blended blue ink and added a wavy snow bank too.

The sentiment, which gave me the idea for the card, is from MFT's Sassy Pants Holiday,

I stamped it over a brushstroke just for a different look... works quite well I think 😊

I added a touch of glitter, a couple of holly sprigs along with some falling

snow and called it done... pretty pleased how it turned out.

So that's all from me for 2019

Wishing all our crafty readers a happy Christmas

and all the best for 2020

Thanks for stopping by :)

Hedgehog Peekaboo

I have a fun peekaboo card to share today.

I coloured in three hedgehogs from MFT Happy Hedgehogs stamp set with Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens, then used the coordinating dies to cut out the images.

I used the largest die from the MFT single stitched rectangle frame die-namics to cut a frame and rectangle. I’m going to use both on this card. I attached the frame to a white A2 card base. It’s slightly smaller than A2 so fits nicely with a little border around the edge.

The MFT Stitched Triple Peek-a-Boo Windows die-namic is perfect for little critters to peek out. A great alternative to this is the MFT Inside & Out Stitched Rounded Squares, which will create a similar look. I die cut the stitched windows from the rectangle piece of card, and added a gold heat embossed sentiment underneath. I chose some paper from the MFT Itsy Bitsy Polka Dots paper pack to show behind the windows in the card.

Time to add those cute hedgehogs. I tucked them in to the window spaces, using adhesive at the bottom edges and foam tape at the top. The foam tape gives them a little dimension so they pop up from the card.
