Anything Goes With A Die

We've reached the final month of 2016 at Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes With a Die Challenge. Of course I had to make a Christmas card as its nearly the last chance before I pack away the Christmas crafting stash.

I used a Die-namites die for the wreath adding gems and gingham ribbon. With all the festive preparations to get on with it had to be something quick and simple!

I hope you will join us for this end of year challenge and may I take this chance to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

November Anything Goes With A Die

Brr! Its getting cold here on the South Coast of England. So I was inspired to make this frosty winter forest scene.

I used a die from my stash to create this and paper pieced some of the elements.

Anything Goes with a Die

As its supposed to be summer here in the UK I decided to make a tropical themed card for this month's Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes With A Die.  Unfortunately the weather is anything but tropical with rain and wind!

For my card I used a flamingo die that came with one of my craft magazines. I die cut them from card and coloured them with Promarkers. I diecut a circle in the centre of the card and backed it with acetate, before using a background paper inside too.

The flowers are from a set by Creative Stamping magazine. I stamped and coloured them with Promarkers and a gold pen. The leaves were diecut with my Cricut machine.

Unfortunately the picture shows a mark on the acetate which was a bit disappointing, but otherwise I love this card!

A Happy Little Stamper!

I am over the moon to be asked to be a Design Team member on the Happy Little Stampers Blog Challenge. This is a new challenge begins today to add to the already popular series of challenges.

The brief for this month is ANYTHING GOES with A DIE. So I have chosen this little card as my first card.

I used the Clearly Besotted Umbrella die and stamp set to create the card. It is such a sweet set! The scalloped circle die is a Spellbinders die. I paper pieced the umbrella by diecutting the shape from patterned paper and then overstamping onto it.

So pop on over to Anything Goes with A Die and meet the lovely new team!
