Clucking with a Sizzix Chic

DL size card patterened paper Sizzix Chic and a grin from ear to ear produced this card.

Cute for both a Bay or an Easter Card.

Attention to detail...

Sizzix Chic die and also used a mini mapel leaf punch to make the feathers.

Oval All sentiment coloured with Copics and punched with the scallop oval punch and linen twine knotted through all Stampin Up Products bar the copic marker.

Keeping everything matching with patterned papers from Papertrey Ink and Stampin Up and Ribbon from Papertrey Ink.

Midnight

And so it continues, quiet and peaceful while everyone snuggles in their beds I snook out for a picture.

quite eerie for a normally busy street

Who lives in a box like this?

So the dorbell rang and I was handed this large heavy box, I love parcels.

I carfully opened the box to find it was full of foam worms!

Who could live in a box like this?

An Asda bag full of foam worms before I got to my goodies but boy was it worth it.

Ok so I went a bit wild the sizzix sale is still on. My receipt said cost of goods £50.85 a saving of £191.65 Wow how good is that?

As you can see from the above image, I trebled and doubled up on some of the dies I figured that both my Mam and Chris's Mam would love them too so perfect gifts.

Flourish Medalion

As I only used part of the medalion stamp from Stampin Up on the last card I made with it I thought I would make one showing the whole of this stamp but this time using a classic black and white theme.

A black 14 x 14 base card and a patterned paper from Papertrey ink cut slightly smaller.

Medalion stamped onto white card with Momento Ink then mounted onto a slightly larger black card, I went on to stamp the centre of the Medalion again and cut this out added pearls a white button and ribbon and used double sided foam pads to mount this in the centre of the first medalion to give a 3d effect

Thomas Kinkade Cobblestone Bridge

Cobblestone Bridge rubber stamp by Thomas Kinkade, I used a brayer to ink up the stamp with blue ink as this helps to give an even coverage on detailed stamps.

I used papers from Stampin Up (Bella Bleu) and used the EK Success border punch on the blue paper.

Attention to detail...

I used the Oval All stamp set and the Oval Punches all from Stampin Up to make the sentiment, I coulered the sentiment with Copic Markers.

The flower was made by punching 3 circles of the patterned paper, dampening them with water and scunching them into a tight ball then carfully unfolding them and threading through the linen thread then tying in a button and finishing with the bow.

Babysitting Jack

This is Jack in a very happy mood dressed as Tigger this wasn't took tonight and if you read on you will understand why.

So Monday after I get home from work I get the pleasure of babysitting Jack for a couple of hours.

Tonight he was what can only be discribed as a very sorryful chap, poor lamb is teething, blood red cheeks breaking into cries that turned to screams.

wouldn't take any solids and managed to bring back his milk, all over Gran (me) on one occasion, oh what Joy.

The only good thing is I will get a full nights sleep but his Mam ohhh she is in for a very sleepless one methinks.
