Births, Weddings and Anniversaries

 A new challenge starts at Sweet Stampin' today and we'd love you to play along.

This fortnight your stamped project should celebrate a new baby, a wedding or an anniversary.  I opted for a baby theme for my DT card

First, apologies for the lighting in the photo.  Even with a daylight lamp I'm struggling to get decent pictures just now as it's dark when I leave for work and dark when I head for home.  Not too long until we have longer days, thankfully.

So I used a coverplate die for the background and popped that onto my card base.  The baby-gro is die cut using a now unavailable die from  and some MFT paper.  The stamped sentiment is from a very old set from Simon Says Stamp.  I added some tiny hearts to the background which pick out the colours in the baby-gro to complete the design.

Team Susan has made some cracking inspiration projects so do check them out over on the Sweet Stamping challenge blog.

Have a lovely weekend

Happy New Year

 We're kicking off 2024 with the theme of "What's New?" over at Sweet Stampin'.  You can choose the new year, or use some of your new goodies if you've been lucky enough to have been given stamps for  Christmas.

I went with the New Year theme for my DT card

I went for some simple stamping in the background as the numbers are very sparkly.  The fireworks are from a tiny Altenew set and I stamped them in gold, silver and rose gold pigment inks.  I cut the numbers using a Papertrey ink die set that I've had for years, using glitter cardstock from a Memory Box pad (their glitter cardstock is gorgeous, btw).

We'd love you to join in with our first fortnightly challenge at Sweet Stampin'.  Do come on over to the blog to check out the design projects the team have made to get you inspired.

I hope you've had a great start to 2024 and I wish you all love, good health and happiness in the coming months.  And peace.  That would be really good.
