Doodle Buds

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all well.

I'm here today with my latest DT card for My Mums Craft Shop and I'm a bit late to the party as I normally have this post scheduled in advance but I got up early this morning to frantically type it because I seem to be lost with what day it is lately....it must be my age lol!

Today I am showcasing the amazing Doodle Buds stamp set by WPlus9 which is available here.

This is such a versatile set with loads of mix and match options for you to create some gorgeous projects.

For my card I decided to stamp myself a background using the various elements.  I stamped randomly onto a piece of cardstock and then cut it down to fit my card.  Everything has been coloured with Copics, including the blue background, which was done using B000.  I've gone around the edges of the flowers with B00 to highlight them and added some dots around with the tip of the pen.  I matted my completed panel onto pink cardstock.

It's hard to tell from the picture but I've added glitter to the centres of the flowers and the effect looks amazing.

If you enjoy colouring then this is the card for you.  You could even make your own colouring pages !  I have got a few stamped up ready so that if I don't fancy making a card I can just relax with a bit of colouring.

That's all from me for today, I can breathe a sigh of relief now I'm up to date.

Have a great Thursday.

Love You - My Mum's Craft Shop DT Card

Hey there everyone how are you doing this fine Thursday (well that's assuming it's fine, I've actually written this and scheduled this post on Sunday so it could be snowing a blizzard today!)

I'm kicking off my first DT post back with My Mum's Craft Shop.  I had an extremely busy second half of the year with work in 2015 as my manager was in hospital for a long time so I picked up a lot of extra responsibility which meant my crafting had to give.  Thankfully things have settled down now and I'm ready to get back into the swing of things.

My card for this week features the beautiful Doodle Pip flowers stamp set from WPlus9.  Unfortunately they are out of stock in the shop at the moment but if you email Kitty at My Mum's Craft Shop she will be able to order them in for you.  In the meantime check out the other gorgeous WPlus9 stamps which are available here

This is such a versatile set with loads of mix and match flowers and leaves which you can mask up and create some beautiful little scenes.

For this card I've basically stamped my flowers and fussy cut them to make a little focal point arrangement.  I've used one of the papers from the My Favourite Things Farm Fresh Gingham paper pad which is available here and die cut a circle using the Dienamics Jumbo Circle Peek a Boo Windows set available here

Rich bought me some watercolours for Christmas and I have been seeing so many beautiful watercolour backgrounds that I've been itching to have a go.  The background to the central circular die cut panel is one of my first efforts at messing about with them and I love the 'sunset' effect it gives!

The Love You sentiment is made with the Dienamics Love and Adore You text die and I've finished off with a couple of red self adhesive pearls in the bottom corner.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have a wonderful Thursday.

A Little Something to Brighten your Day

Good morning lovelies I am sorry I haven't been around much again lately, I have been trying to juggle lots of things trying to keep on top of everything, plus with summer holidays it's been extra difficult!

I am hoping this disgusting weather picks up before we go camping in a couple of weeks but to be honest I am so ready for the break I don't think it will stop me enjoying every minute.

It's time for my DT card for My Mum's Craft Shop and this week I have kept it fairly simple but nice and colourful....you can't have too much colour right :-)

The papers are from the Doodlebug Hello Sunshine paper pad, I just love the colours in this one - so bright and funky.

I've cut the scalloped rectangle using the Dienamics Blueprints 1 die set, along with the white centre panel which I have faux stitched and mounted onto green card to make it pop.

I have then stamped my flowers onto a variety of patterned papers from the pad using the fantastic WPlus9 Blanket Stitched Blooms stamp set which is so versatile.  The sentiment is also stamped from this set.

Well that's all from me today, I hope the sun comes out for you today.  Have a great one!
