Cute Meerkats

Hello

I made some cute meerkats today

I die cut the meerkats and as my die is a border die, they are all standing on top of each other so I had to cut them apart

I had to look on the internet to see what colour meerkats are and I coloured them in

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment

Pink Ladybird Easel

Hello

I have had a go with an easel card

I cut out the circles according to a template that I had printed out

I die cut the grass and cut it so I could bend it around the edge

I die cut the lady bird, (I made her pink as I felt it would make a nice card for a girl, also I have run out of red) drew a line along the middle, added dots, a head and eyes

I added 3D pearl effects to hide the joins where I had cut the grass

I die cut the sentiment circles and stamped and heat embossed the words

I die cut some more grass and arranged it around the bottom

Dotty Stencils

Hello

I have gone dotty with some stencils

I made this card by, first, making some stencils

I made the stencils by die cutting any round die cutters I had (wheels, berries etc) randomly on a piece of card

I also cut with a cutter that had one big circle and lots of smaller ones

Then I stenciled directly onto the card blank using the two colours until I was happy with the pattern

I stamped the sentiment by inking the stamp with both colours randomly and heat embossed it

Snowflakes Keep Falling on my Head

Merry Christmas

I am back making Christmas cards again

I took a piece of white card and die cut snowflakes in it.  I had to use ones that didn't have many (or any) bits to push out of the middle as I was using the cut out rather than the die cut (we wont talk about my first attempt when I forgot that).  Fortunetly I had bought a die 'bundle' recently and there were mostly snowflake dies in it

I then glued on some of the cut out snowflakes

I glued this piece of card onto cream card and stamped and heat embossed the sentiment

Then I decided that it needed some sparkle so I drew around the edge with glitter glue
