Jules made me buy it!

Hi there, 
todays card is made using a postage stamp die that Jules from Always with a heart blog made me buy after seeing her beautiful cards - especially this one . I have spent endless time trying to find the paper that Jules used with no avail! Here's my version:



I wasn't brave enough to stitch around my images like Jules did as my machine skills aren't up to it!
Everything used on this card came from snippets of  the Stamperia Provence paper pad with some SU gems and purple card stock. I also inked around the edges of the background paper to give it a vintage look. This die is very versatile and I can see why Jules is addicted to it!
I have also made a Christmas card with this die and I stencilled the images on it - I will share that one next time.

Challenges:
Pixies snippets playground.challenge-476. use snippets  I used lots of snippets from the Stamperia paper pad. Sorry I didn't take a photo as I think I used a snippet from each page!



Thanks for visiting and please leave me a comment if you do!

Basket of chicks

Good evening!
Todays card is made with a Penny Black stamp:




Being the ever critical I think that perhaps the black frame is too dark 😣

I used:
Penny Black 'Basket of chicks' stamp 2866J
Promarkers
Penny Black 'Beau Jardin' papers
SU lots of labels dies, dots  and punch for sentiment
Clearly Besotted sentiment 
I bravely machine stitched around the edges (which is a bit wonky and a bit loopy underneath so after asking Mr Google I need to adjust my bobbin tension - somehow!!)

Challenges:
I love promarkers challenge-554.anything goes love/romance
as you like it challenge. favourite-monochrome-or-colourful- I would definitely choose colourful because I think monochrome is a bit boring!! Colourful cards are more cheerful I think!
Pixies snippets playground challenge-475. use snippets - here are the snippets that I used:

So that's my card for today - thanks for visiting and please leave me a comment if you do!

Snippets playground celebration

Hello there and happy Saturday!
Todays card is for a special celebration over at Pixies snippets playground. where Di is celebrating 12 years of running the challenge of using all of your snippets.





I used snippets from my previous Penny Black card and coloured with Promarkers.
I first saw this stamp over at the super talented Janes blog - thecraftbucket. But I cheated and actually bought this stamp from that big company beginning with A where we get everything from! Now I wouldn't advise anyone to buy this stamp from there as it is clearly a 'nock off' stamp and is not very good quality - lesson learned!!

Congratulations to Di and Sarn who make the snippets playground a fun and friendly place to visit.

I have had this stamp for a while now but its the first time its been inked up! I used Promarkers to colour it  and I think the sentiment is from LOTV. The backing papers are Penny Black Beau Jardin.
