Something pink with sprinkles on top...

Birthday Bouquet meets Honeycomb Embellishments meets Sale A Bration stamp set Honeycomb Happiness... 

A card to make you think of summer...or parties.. or anything involving ice cream with sprinkles on top...

And a Tuesday Tip for you... I have to share fellow team member Barbara's idea  - as amended by a very knowledgeable email update from Helen over in Australia (thank you so much Helen!!) - with the Honeycomb embellishments... just pull off the protective paper backing on the embellishment & adhere one side and leave the other side as is... then you can post the card easily! And you can decide whether to add an instructional note for the recipient on the paper of the unpeeled side ....eg Peel & Stick!

Much better than squashing the honeycomb like I did with mine... though  - I hasten to add - that was in a tight plastic wallet rather than in an envelope!

Love the greeting from Remembering Your Birthday for this ice cream ensemble.... perfect!

Apologies for the rubbish photos... it was obviously late at night!

PS I used the Circle Framelits but I forgot to add them to the Supplies List... also Honeycomb Happiness is available in wood mount too ( but I couldn't find it on the lists!)

Simple Cozy Christmas Duo

Another couple of simple Cozy Christmas makes... 

One for kids and one for grown-ups...

Same card... different paper cut-out image & greeting...

Gold Dazzling Details glitter finishes off the centre of the poinsettia...

And Santa's beard is de-coupaged for a bit of extra dimension...

Hope you have been liking my simple little Cozy Christmas makes... 

I had a couple of newbie papercrafters join us this month... so I had to keep some cards simple as I had also had a lot of other different projects going on! And I don't like to hear myself talking too much.....

Stamping the Wonderland Wreath - A Quick Pictorial

Some of you have asked how I stamped the wreath in this card... So as one picture paints a 1000 words... Here are 3 to hopefully explain better than just the words...

Grab your 2 5/8"(internally) Circle Framelit... Draw around the inside... Place your bough pre-stamped Stamp A Ma Jig sheet onto your circle...

Grab your Mossy Meadow ink pad and Early Espresso marker pen - and your bough stamp...

Ink up stamp using Mossy Meadow ink pad...and then add Early espresso to the cones using your marker pen (ie onto the stamp)

Stamp onto the circle...

Reposition your Stamp A Ma Jig sheet to line up your boughs nicely... 

Ink up stamp again & stamp again... Repeat until it all joins up... 

Job done!

And a final Balloon Bash Pop Out Swing Card…

Many people asked whether this card can be made using Framelits other than the Squares.

So I had to conduct the relevant experiment for you…. and … I can happily report– of course it can….  here is the Circle Version…

One for the girls this time – nice and bright and pink! Well Strawberry Slush actually…

So which do you prefer? Squares as yesterday’s card or Circles!??
