Diecut treescape for Sparkles Challenge #205

Good morning crafty friends. Our new theme at Sparkles Challenge starts today and we want to see die cutting on your cards. That gave me a good excuse to play with the Treescape Aperture die, one of my favourite images although I tend to gravitate more to the stamps than the die for this one.… Read More Diecut treescape for Sparkles Challenge #205

Hello crafty friends. I’m still playing with my Joy of Dance stamps today, but went for something of a contrast to yesterday’s card with one of the dancing girls and a little silhouette butterfly in some lovely pastel colours.

Better together

Hello crafty friends. Today’s card takes another look at the new Retro Family stamps, this time focusing on the cute cat & dog, who seem to have declared a truce!
