Four Feathers, for you!

Good morning everyone!

Today I am showing you a card made using a set that isn't one of my favourites, if I'm honest, but I am starting to enjoy using it!

These gorgeous feathers are stamped and heat embossed using the Four Feathers set and Tempting Turquoise Stampin' Emboss powder. I then die cut them using the matching Framelits.

Now this card doesn't just have feathers on a panel on the front...oh no! This card is a little special....

This is a 'peek-a-boo' card...fun isn't it?? I stamped the first half of a sentiment from Petite Pairs on the inner of the flap...

....then added the other half inside the card.

Here's how the card looks when on display...

I really loved how this card came out...Keiran did too! So much so that he wants me to make a peek-a-boo card for his birthday! This one, by the way, was for Mike to thank him for everything he does for me...he really is fantastic!

In fact, one of the wonderful things he has recently done for me is look after Keiran over a couple of weekends so that I could do my Gym Instructor Level 2 course. I have finally completed all my worksheets, assessments and exams and I am now just waiting on the results....fingers crossed I passed! 

I also want to thank all you lovely followers and my wonderful customers for bearing with me over this very busy time...hopefully things can start to get back to normal again now! :)

Have a lovely Tuesday and I'll be back soon!

Four Feathers for a birthday

Brrrr it's cold and very windy this morning! I really am looking forward to spring...my garden needs a lot of work doing to it!

Today I have a card I made using a little strip of DSP I found whilst looking for something else!

I then stamped and heat embossed the 2 larger feathers from Four Feathers in Gold Stampin' Emboss and the small one in Baked Brown Sugar. I then die cut them using the matching dies, which when bought together gets you 15% off!

I tied a piece of Linen Thread in a bow and finished with part of a sentiment from the Remembering Your Birthday set.

I am linking my card to a sketch challenge this morning...

Create with Connie and Mary #343

I will be battling the wind for the school run and my walk to work this morning...I hope you have a lovely day, whatever you're doing!

Feathery Thanks

Hi everyone!

Did you have a good bonfire night? We went next door to their annual bonfire and firework display...it was a lovely night!

So today is the new challenge at CAS - Colours and Sketches and it is my turn to host this month! 

So the first week is a colour challenge, and this is the colour combo you have to work with this week...

Now when I chose these colours, I had Christmas in mind (now that Halloween and Bonfire night are out of the way!)

As you can see, that idea went by the wayside...

I went into my craft room, and sat on the desk from when I first played with this stamp set, were some gold embossed feathers! So what better place to start than here? The feathers are from the Four Feathers stamp set and are die cut using the matching Framelits. We were very lucky to each have been given this bundle at convention back in October...how awesome is that?!

I simply scored 3 lines across the Very Vanilla cardstock, then stamped the sentiment from Good Greetings in Cherry Cobbler.

I finished by popping the panel up on Dimensionals, and adding a Linen Thread bow.

I was a bit dubious about this stamp set, if I'm honest. It's not that I don't like it, I just didn't know how I would be able to use it! I have now realised that I actually love it, and I am sure you will be seeing me use it lots more!

So, what will you make using this colour combo? Maybe something Christmassy?? I can't wait to see!
