Trying something new for today

 Happy Monday , had a busy morning sorting out my paperwork and blogging some future DT bits and bobs but this afternoon I was at a loss.

Then I remembered a set I had brought a little while back and decided to pop it away as I wasnt sure how to use it

Well big knickers pulled up this afternoon I decided to play ~ If I had looked at it properly inside was a little booklet full of instructions, you just can't go wrong

So the set I am talking about is Crafters Companion Birds and Bloom, a stamp and die set that allows you to make over the edge cards. Adorable I have had a great afternoon , following the booklet I made no mistakes and here is my finished card

It's a dull day so a bit hard to catch the over the edge part so I hope you can see it.

In the set you get a few sentiments and some lovely foilage stamps. The three flowers I stamped, coloured and fussy cut out , stuck on with dimensional glue . I also stamped part of the main stamp again to give me another little chippy bird that was also stuck on with dimensional glue.

The sentiment was matted using Crafters Companion Textured Cardstock, using sticky pads too give it some height.

And finally I coloured up using Tri-Blend markers , I adore them so much 

Thank you for looking

Hmmmmm Christmas in August really has not got the right ring but hey who cares

I have just found some new cuties about town!

I really have fallen in love and I can see some great Christmas makes with these in the future.

Hi Cookie

Check them all out in 

Swedish Housecrafts

For my projects I have used

Nils deer jumper

He was far tooooo cute to just make a card with I just had to make a set

I created a card, gift box and a matching tag

These were all so much fun to make

I coloured up Nils using Distress re inkers

I used walnut stain Oxide ink for the edges

The DP is Studio light Quality papers
I have used white fluffy stuff on the Moustache and slippers
and Puffy stuff on the hats (My Graddaughter was in awe as I heated it and it puffed)

For the card I used a random stencil from my stash of stencils

Mounted with foam tabs onto my DP which I slightly distressed

Nils was also adhered with foam tabs to give some depth 

The snowflakes were doubled up and were from an ancient die

The holly and flowers fussy cut and added with Pinflair Glue Gel

I cut the tag on my portrait and used an old star die the negative stars that cut out I used on Nils hat

I just love him dearly

I then made a matching box, now I love making these but I can never seem to get the correct photo

I really have had so much fun who said we can't Christmas in August ??

When these little beauties popped threw my letter box

(those that know me no that in itself is a very rare occasion )

The only question being 

Which one to stamp and play with first

After a game of ip dip you are not it (seriously)

I went for 

Deer-est Friends

Ohhhhh what a beauty

I coloured her up using Distress Ink

I am adoring these to colour with and this is a first for me colouring skin and hair so it was big knickers on and go for it, by no means perfect but hopefully in time there will be improvements.

I love using Kraft for Christmas cards it always seems to be my go to card

So my base was a 6.25 x 6.25

I then used a paper from 

Polkadoodles Holly Jolly Paper Sensation (on sale)

A perfect pack of double sided papers

I distressed the edges slightly

The dies used are

Fanciful Circles(on sale)
