For You - Mimosa Hat





Today I would like to share with you a card that I made for a friend's birthday.  I have used a gorgeous new stamp by Bildmalarna called "Mimosa Hat" and not having coloured these before think they are rather cute and may have to purchase a few more.  This stamp and her friends are currently available for pre-order from Bizzy Bec's.

I have also used a Spellbinder die Splendid Circles which Bec also has available to order here.  The paper I used from my stash is by MME Lost and Found 'Sunshine' and I have also used this to paper pierce her top and coloured her with copics.  The For You stamp is from Stampin Up and the ribbon is from my stash.

Here she is:


There is still time left to enter into the January Challenge at Bizzy Becs here and to be in the running to win this months prize one of the new release Memory Box Dies - awesome.

Look forward to seeing your creations.

Happy Crafting

Fun in the Sun

What a fabulous theme to start off the year.  Over at Bizzy Becs we are starting the year with this theme
"FUN IN THE SUN" and it is by out DT gal Suzanne.


The prize for this month is a 
"MEMORY BOX DIE"
 donated from Bizzy Becs Online Store......
Bizzy Bec's has Memory Box Dies in stock as well as there is a Pre-Order for NewMemory Box Dies arriving soon...




For my card for this month I have used a Memory Box Die - Charlotte Border, Poppy Stamp Die - Simple Banner, Spellbinders - Labels 2.  I tried something new this time with the dies and the Simple Banner has been cut from fabric, which was easy as and cut with no issues at all.

For my image which has been coloured using Copic Markers  I used a Digi stamp  from Whimsy which is unfortunately not available at Bizzy Becs, however there is a fabulous range of Whimsy Stamps available instock and for order at the shop  here and here.  



The colour combination I choose to me signifies the colours of summer.
