Lamb note book from Punches

Continuing with the note books I stumbled across a tutorial to make this cute lamb and it was super easy a scalloped circle a small oval 3 little flowers I used a teardrop punch for the ears but the tutorial used a small circle cut into half and the word slot punch for the legs.
I backed the note book in red card added a black and white polka dot paper and a red polka dot ribbon and I was done.
original tutorial can be found here

Iced Fleur De Li's Pendant

Because this card is white on white is was really difficult to get a good picture you will see it much better if you click on the image to enlarge it.
It was made with the spellbinders pendant die Fleur de Li's I made one earlier this month in Red and Kraft card.
Attention to Detail...

I used crushed glass glitter on the pendant die and the snowflakes to enhance them.

Pure Linen, Just like Mothers.

I can't count the amount of times my Mother and GrandMother would say "you can't beat Irish Linen" so I was thrilled when I stumbled across the company All Tea Towels, not only does she have the most wonderful printed designs but her service is second to none.
I thought these would make perfect gifts for the ladies in my life and set to making wraps for them.
Be sure to visit the All Tea Towels shop


These are the tea-towels that I have so far but I'll definately be geting more, I know several people in my life that are going to be thrilled with them.

Pretty as a Row of Trees

Chocolate and aqua a lovely combination.
The aqua base card was stamped using the Rollergraph snowflake stamp inked with versamark then heat set after applying bridal embossing powder by Ranger, I'm not sure you can see all of the subtle twinkles that this powder gives but it is simple gorgeous in the flesh.
I used the same powder to heat emboss the Lovely as a Tree stamp by Stampin Up only this time using it on the chocolate coloured card then dividing it into 4 pieces and matting and layering it.
Lastly I punched 4 holes into the topper aqua card and threaded and tied a chocolate ribbon through the card. finished with a little Christmas tree charm and a pretty snowflake.

Attention to detail...

The snowflake was made using 2 snowflake punches then a little drop of clear drying glue on each and dipped into Crushed glass glitter to give the sparkle, a brad was added through the centre.
