Manly Bloomin' Heart!

Hello and happy Friday!

So in my last post I promised to show you a way to use the Bloomin' Heart Thinlits for a 'manly' and non 'lovey dovey' style card. So what do you think of this...

I used our new Dapper Denim card stock to cut out the heart, and stuck it to the base card. Then I cut '40' out of the top panel, using the Large Numbers Thinlits, and popped this up on Dimensionals.

And then, because I forgot to do it before, (oops!) I stamped the sentiment from the Number Of Years stamp set over the number. 

So this was a super quick, easy, man card, made using an unlikely die! 

Have a fab day and hope to see you soon.

A Timeless Birthday

Hi again!

See, told you I'd be back tonight! And, as promised, here is a little card using some of the new stuff from the Spring/Summer catalogue...

This very simple, elegant card is made using Tempting Turquoise card stock and I stamped the matted layer with the flourish from the gorgeously grungy Timeless Textures, also in Turquoise. 

I then added some of the lush Watermelon Wonder Stitched Satin Ribbon across the panel and added my stamped and die cut numbers from the Number of Years bundle. These are awesome big numbers...just what I have been waiting for!

So what did I use today?
