Bees love flowers, right???

Hey guys.... how as your weekend???
I spent mine away in Newcastle... and I needed to get home for a rest!! hahaha! 
So, onto a more leisurely pursuit... creating...
I made this little number for this weeks "flowers" theme here @ My Mum's Craft Shop ...

Now in contrast to lots of flowery papers I used a rather stylish selection from BG, then I coloured up Tiddly Inks "Happy Bee Day" with my markers & pencils... the flowers are from one of my all time fav dies from MFT Die-namics called "Flower trio" , I added a few pearls, some stickles, and the sentiment which comes with the stamp set... and there you have it....
please pop back this week, and get some more inspiration from the rest of the totes amazeballs DT , they rock!!

Hi all

Lyndsey here running a little late with my regular Monday posting. This week our theme is flowers and I so I took it literally and used this gorgeous floral image from Mama Elephant - one of new range of stamps available in store now.

The stamp is from the Water Blooms Set and I stamped it firstly in green then re-stamped onto a spare piece of card in yellow and decoupaged the flowers up on top. The gorgeous papers are from the new MME pads Now & Then Milo and I added a couple of embellies to finish from the £1 embellishment range - Wooden Heart & Striped Candy Dot.

            

Thanks for joining me here today, please do pop back throughout the week to check out my team mates creations.

Flowers week on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog

Hello Everyone! Jane here today and I am kicking off a 'Flowers' themed week on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog today. We have been lucky to have some lovely sunshine here this weekend, the daffodils are blooming and Spring is definitely on it's way. To celebrate the lovely weather, I have made a card using some of the lovely new goodies which have arrived recently at My Mum's Craft Shop.

The papers I have used are from the Echo Park 'Splendid Sunshine' pad which is available here. They match the Hobby House 'Summertime' pre-coloured topper so well! I added a sentiment from Paper Smooches 'Scripty Sayings' set which I stamped straight on to the backing papers.

I added a beautiful stitched edge ribbon and lots of paper flowers around the image and finished with a lovely big button tied with twine and a couple of stick on pearls. I hope you have a lovely Sunday.

Jofy Flowers

Hello Lovely Readers,

Kitty here with my usual thursday spot for My Mums Craft Shop. Today i am sharing my latest tag that i have made using the new PaperArtsy Jofy Stamps & Stencils. I just couldn't wait to ink up these babies!

You will be pleased to hear that i got covered in paint making this - just the way it should be! I used the new Jofy Stamps 24 for the main flowers. I did the smaller ones with Jofy Mini 33 and the words is Jofy Mini 40. I also used the new Jofy 07 Stencil then drew around them with a fine line pen.

Thanks for popping by today :)

Oh Shoot <---

Morning guys! :)

HAPPY HUMP DAY! 

I'm here to share a card I created when I had my MFT loving kick a couple weekends ago!

I started off with a stamp set from Avery Elle - Oh Happy Day, which inspired me to use some patterned paper from My Mind's Eye Cupid's Arrow. Perfect match. I embossed my sentiment onto some grey card stock and went to work on my flowers. 

I used a Die-namics Fluttering Hearts die to cut some tiny hearts into my background card stock, I then added some grey paper from the Cupid's Arrow pack behind to tie in the grey from the papers and my sentiment panel.

I used MFT Sweet Roses and

matching die set Roses and Leaves. 

I arranged them in a way that made me happy, added some foam dots behind some of them, laid some flat, curled up the leaves and faffed on til I got it to how I wanted it.

For some finishing touches I added some froofroo with some £1 embellishments:

Medium Flower Buttons

Basic Round Buttons which I threaded with some red bakers twine

Clear Coloured Gem Dots (which I LOVE!!)

and a sprinkling of liquid pearls.

Job done!!

Thank you for stopping by today. :) xo

A Spiffing Day!!!

Hey guys! thanks for joining me today ... I am sharing a quick and easy male card for our free theme this week at My Mum's  Craft Shop ...
I loved this fabulous Woodware Stamp as soon as I saw it , and it makes a super fast card for the men in your life .... 

I gathered some male type papers, and matted them on chocolate cardstock, then I stamped a pale background in Smokey grey ink using the MFT  "water colour " stamp. I inked up  my "Spiffing Day" stamp in Tuxedo black, and stamped over the top ...
 I added a few metallic brown pearls, and used my Die-namics "Lead the Way" dies to cut out some arrrows. these were matted onto chocolate cardstock scraps ( waste not....) and 3d'd on 
so, a quick masculine card , in less than half an hour!!!! 
Do join the rest of the DT girls , and see what they rustle up for you this week..
 have a fabulous day!!
hugs
