Steampunk style!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!  I'm here today with a card that I submitted into last month's Simply Betty challenge over on their FB page...

This is Steampunk Rio and I think she is so cool!  I used Make It Crafty Gears Galore chipboard and My Minds Eye Lost and Found papers.

Okay, I'm off, thanks for visiting.  Have a fab day and I'll be back tomorrow with my Bellarific Friday card!

Christmas candy - yum!

Another Christmas card I knocked up using the freebie Simply B Stamps that they are giving away if you join in with their December challenge on their Facebook page - very generous!  Here is my make...

She is called Candy Cane London and I matched her up with papers from the Carta Bella Merry & Bright collection.  And don't you love that Lil' Inker Designs Stitched Rectangle Mat die and Small Bow die?  I just can't help myself - I just keep using them!  I am entering this into the Simon Says Stamp for anything Christmassy.

I think I've only got a couple more Christmas cards to show you later in the week and that is it for 2012 - promise!

What fabulous news!!

Did you know that the lovely Elaine, owner of Quixotic Paperie is now stocking My Favorite Things Die-namics?  I luuuuurve my MFT goodies so in celebration, I made this summery card (inspired by the sun we've had this week in the UK!)...

I used the beautiful Simply Betty Water Fun Rio with papers from the Echo Park - Splash Collection Kit.  The sentiment is from the Whimsy Party Mini Letter Seals set which I stamped on the MFT Die-Namics - Fishtail Flags STAX.  Other MFT goodies I used were the Flat Bottom Clouds die, Notched Border die and the Wonky Scallop Border die.

Please don't ask which is my most fave of the MFT dies - they are all so fab!  You can see the rest of the new MFT Die-namics here - but you'd better hurry cos I've already put most of them in my shopping basket!

Okay, I am off now - see you later on my blogging rounds!
