Totally loving Polkadoodles..

Hello there, Well I hope your enjoying your Sunday? I have got the tennis on in the background whilst I am blogging..so any spelling mistakes you know why..lol. 

I thought you would like to see my latest creation that I managed to complete a few days ago, I love using CD ROM s as they are so versatile and you always have them to hand when you need them. Their very inexpensive too, which of course I love as budgets do get stretch a lot these days. 

I do have many CD ROM s covering many brands but was recently having tidying up and found one of my favourites which is the Polkadoodles Sundae of Seasons, having had this for many years now and I do always keep going back to this as I love the designs and the fabulous digi stamps. 

You have the option to print out as black and white digi stamp or have the image already coloured in my the wonderful Nikky Hall,

Nikky is the super talented owner and designer of Polkadoodles, her designs are so original, cool and fresh and will suit any type of style of card making you wish to create. Nikky she a real gem in the crafty world, not only is she amazingly talent designer but she is so generous in her time, she is regularly on social media helping with advice, what crafters would like next, ideas and general natter and of course, she is so encouraging to us all to show our work in the many of her Facebook groups that she as started. So if you're Facebook make sure you check all her groups out. Also her brand new website as digi's and sets you can download from as little as £1 and you can pay via Pay-pal, which is a win win for me.  

As many of my followers will know I am loving CAS so much and its make a massive difference to my confident, I decided to use this super sweet image to make CAS card and so hope you like the end result.  

29 .2 cm x 10.3 cm folded at the top

Spectrum noir colours used are - Skin FS2 FS3 TN2 - Cheek FS2 PP1 - Hair GB8 GB10 EB5 -

 Inked the mini message "Best wishes" with Memento Tuxedo black ink 

I am loving the stitch detail of dies that you can purchase at the moment, but unfortunately I cant afford to get some just yet so I decided to create my own using the Silhouette Cameo software. I think it works out just as good and its saved me me a few pennies.

As always I leave your links of where you can purchase the items I'd used to create this card, all you need to do is click on the highlighted link and you will be taken straight there.

Did some one say cake?

Hello there, hope you are having lovely Easter break? I been spending the last two days crafting and thought I should share with you my latest creation that I have been working on. My inspiration for this card was that I recently purchased a set of Some odd girl stamps, so just had this need to create something with these amazing stamps. I love Some odd girl stamps and love any chance to do some colouring with these sweet and sassy stamps.

I used Papermania adhesive stones (monochrome) and change the colour of the stone with Spectrum noir pens to match the colour theme of this creation.
