Sketch Saturday- Mo Manning Bella Loves Christmas

Hey peeps! I'm writing this ahead of time on the hottest day of the year so far and wondering (read: desperately hoping) the weather is a bit cooler by today and we've had those thunderstorms we were promised!!

Today's offering for Sketch Saturday is a Mo Manning digi called Bella Loves Christmas!

I coloured Bella with copics. These papers are by SEI called Merry Berry. The sentiment is a PTI one- die and stamped. The stamped sentiment is cut out using Memory Box die and the holly is a MB die too. Finally I used my Woodware corner rounder punch to round all the blocking.

Apologies photos are a bit dark. I made this yonks ago when we weren't having such great weather!

Mwah!

My Mum's Craft Shop- Tilly Daydream Sledging

Wow, the scorching weather has continued this week!!! Just to cool us all down I thought I'd post a card I made for My Mum's Craft Shop using some brand new Christmas products....

I've used this brand new Docrafts Tilly Daydream Sledge Decoupage set.

I love this cute sweetie character! These brand new papers are also by Docrafts and are called Christmas In the Country- gorgeous rustic reds, blues and greens. I added a couple of diecut snowflakes using the Let It Snowflake Dienamics, some Stickles and a retired MFT sentiment.

Wheeeee!

Sketch Saturday- Ski Bunny!

Hey hey hey! It's time for Sketch Saturday!

Today I have made a Winter birthday card for a friend who loves to ski so I've used MFT's ALM Ski Bunny...

I coloured her with copics and paper pieced using Authentique Peaceful papers. The sentiment accompanies the main stamp and then I diecut a large sentiment using High Rise Alphabet Dienamics. Snowflake is the Jumbo Snowflake Dienamic.

Here's your close up!

My Mum's Craft Shop- Happy Everything!

Hey folks! Hope you're all enjoying the glorious sunny weather we are having in the UK. Tho I hate to have a moan, it is seriously too hot to sleep at night, it's ridiculous!!

Anyhoo onto today's card which is for My Mum's Craft Shop.

This week we are celebrating SUMMER!   

What could be more summery than a beautiful English rose? I bought my very first Clearly Besotted stamp set called Happy Everything! It's a lovely flexible set that can cover lots of occasions so an essential for your stamp collection I reckon! I coloured with copics and scored the card blank using my Hougie Board. The sentiments come with the set (I stamped the "Happy" using SU Rose Red ink) and finally I added some nailheads and Stickles.

Sketch Saturday- Peace be still

Hey folks! It's Sketch Saturday time and I have a CAS Christmas card to share with you...

This has been created really simply by using the PTI Wonderful Words: Holiday die to die cut into the card blank. I then used PTI Bitty Dot paper (Enchanted Eve) attached to the inside and stamped the rest of the sentiment in matching ink. Finally added twine and button.

I've made a couple of variations of these for quick and easy Chrimbo cards.

Here is your sketch. I've been quite liberal with my interpretation but I think you can still see the original sketch!

This week we have the wonderful Simon Says Stamp to thank for our sponsorship!
