MMCSDT: All I want for Christmas is Ewe...

Hello Everyone! I am back today with another Christmas card! I am really loving all the new Christmassy stock which has recently arrived at My Mum's Craft shop and I fell in love with the Baaah Humbug Lawn Fawn stamps. It seems you all did too as these are unfortunately sold out at the moment but there are plenty other Lawn Fawn stamps in stock here.

To make my card, I created some snowy hills using textured card and a My Favourite Things die. I stamped the sentiment on to the bottom snowy hill and some holly using tiny stamps from the set. I pieced the hills on to some snowy paper from the Doodlebug SugarPlums pad and used more papers from the pad to cover my card base.

Here is a close up of the little sheep which I coloured in with Promarkers. They are adorable and I love the tiny little heart. I kept my card very simple and added a small die cut snowflake with a pearl heart as a finishing touch. I hope you have a lovely Friday!

My Mum's Craft Shop DT - Mini Gingerbread Christmas cards

Hi Everyone! I hope you are all ok and have had a good couple of weeks. I am back today with my Design Team post for my Mum's Crafts Shop. I have been making Christmas cards for Quick Cards Made Easy for months now, so I always find when it comes to making my own that I want to do something Clean and Simple and quick to put together. Last night I had a play with my dies and some lovely new Lawn Fawn goodies from My Mum's Craft shop.

I love Gingerbread men so I just had to get these! I used the 'Oh Snap!' stamps and dies on these cards. I first cut a shaped card base using a scalloped circle die then cut patterned papers from the My Favourite things Fresh Squeezed chevrons pad.

I added a circle cut from Kraft on top of this and then die cut a circle from smooth white card using the stitched circles dies. I stamped my sentiments then stamped the images onto offcuts of white card.

After I had coloured the images, I die cut them using the coordinating dies and added them to the card with foam pads. I added contrasting stick on gems from my stash to finish.

I think I will be making a lot of these this year as they are very quick to put together and I think the little gingerbread man is adorable! I hope you have a lovely Friday and a lovely Weekend!

I Wheelie Like You!!

Hello Everyone!I am back with some inspiration using some of the lovely new products which have arrived recently at My Mum's Craft Shop. I have made a card using the Forever Young paper pad from Bobunny which is full of fabulous bright papers and the Lawn Fawn Wheelie Love You stamp set which is so cute!

I kept the layout simple and added some Hessian ribbon and coloured my image with Promarkers before cutting it out using a Dienamics die. I used the sentiment from the set to stamp directly on to one of the backing papers and also added a gingham fabric button.

Here is a close up of my image. I added some little hearts from the set and stamped the little hamster and cut him out before adding him to the wheel with foam pads. I finished with a button and some stick on pearls. I hope you have a lovely Friday evening and a lovely Weekend.

MMCSDT - Happy Summer for Spots and Stripes week.

Hello Everyone! I have a little taste of Summer for you today for my weekly post on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog to celebrate the lovely Sunshine we have had this week here in the South. We are having a Spots and Stripes week starting today, some of my favourite patterns! I used papers from the Carta Bella 'It's a Celebration' pad which is available here from My Mum's craft Shop.

The image panel was created using stamps from the Lawn Fawn 'Happy Summer' set and they were great fun to colour in. I die cut the finished image with an oval dienamics die.

Here is a close up of my image all coloured in with a variety of alcohol markers. I added some embellishments from my stash, including a stripy brad which fitted the theme very well!
Please join us for the rest of next week for more Spots and Stripes inspiration from the DT.
Have a lovely Sunday!

My Mum's Craft Shop DT for the May challenge - Lots of layers

Hi Everyone! I hope you are having a good week so far. It's time for a brand new Challenge on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog today. Our theme this month is 'Lots of layers' which was a little bit of a challenge for me as I am enjoying making Clean and Simple cards more and more lately!

My sewing machine has broken so I was unable to do any sewing to my layers on this card. I used papers from the Carta Bella 'Baby Mine Boy' pad which is available here. The image I have used is 'Fluffy Bear Balloon' which is available here. I coloured him in using Graph'it Markers and added him to the card using foam pads.

The sentiment I have used is by Lawn Fawn and is part of this set. I coloured my image using lots of little dots to make the teddy look furry. It is the first time I have tried this and i think I need to practice a bit more! I hope you will able to join us for our latest Challenge for the chance to win a voucher to spend at My Mum's Craft Shop. Enjoy the rest of your week!

Winter Birthdays Week on the My Mum's Craft shop blog

Hello Everyone! It's my day for sharing a card on the My Mum'sCraft Shop blog today and I am starting off a 'Winter Birthdays' week. I have used some of the gorgeous Bazzill Basics Nordic Pines papers on my card which are a beautiful rich red and have some lovely doilies on them. The stamp I used is Winter Fox from Lawn Fawn and I stamped the sentiment which comes with him onto a Dienamics Snowflake Splendour die cut shape.

I inked around the image which I had coloured in with Promarkers using Tea Dye distress ink and then layered it on to some dark brown card. I added some hessian from the Ribbon Girl behind the image panel.

I then added the sentiment snowflake above the image and another die cut snowflake below which I topped with a button tied with twine. I hope you have a lovely Sunday. I will be working on some card Commissions today and need to pop out to Hobbycraft as my paper cutter blade has decided to go blunt on me at the worst possible time!

My Mum's Craft Shop DT - A little preview...

Hello Everyone! I have some exciting news to share with you today and a little preview of some new stamps My Mum's Craft Shop will be stocking very soon! I was thrilled when Kitty told us that we would be getting a delivery of Lawn Fawn stamps. I have a couple of Lawn Fawn stamps already so I have made a card using one of them today and some of the new papers that arrived this week.

The papers I have used are from the Bazzil Nordic Pines pad. They are gorgeous and have a lovely texture. I die cut a little aperture for my Owl to sit in after I had coloured him in and cut him out. I added a little strip of ribbon between the aperture and the sentiment and then added a crochet flower topped with an old brad from my stash. I finished with some tiny stamped hearts filled with glitter glue and a stick on pearl. I hope you have a lovely Sunday!

Little Miss Muffet DT for the Little Miss Muffet Challenge - Anything goes

Hello Everyone! A quick post from me today to share the card I have made for the latest Little Miss Muffet Challenge. The new challenge starts today and the theme is 'Anything Goes'. I have used some Lawn Fawn Christmassy papers on my card with a little strip of ribbon which was hanging around on my desk.

I have used Bandit Boy Gavin in Winter who is available here and coloured him in with my Promarkers to match the papers and a sentiment from Elzybells to make a card for my boys to send to thank for their Christmas presents. I added a little wooden star as a finishing touch and some stick on pearls. I hope you had a lovely Christmas and I am hoping I will get back to some regular crafting and blogging very soon! Have a lovely Thursday!
