Love you A Lotl

 

A fabulous little love card with an unusual character

The character of this card is an Axolotl. I couldn't resist buying this stamp and die set from Lawn Fawn as I absolutely love the little creatures. They are amphibians with the ability to regrow legs etc if needed. They always look like they are smiling :)

Lawn Fawn make several cute valentine style mini stamp sets normally with a play on words just like this Axolotl one - I like you A Lotl ! So this weeks blog is a small love card based on this stamp set.

Scandinavian Woven Heart bag

 

Make a gift bag from a couple of strips of coloured paper

I've always wanted to make one of these - they facinate me as it forms a bag from two pieces of paper woven together.

I've made mine from patterned 12 x 12 scrapbooking paper but you can get a similar size bag just using A4 paper. You want to use paper rather than card as anything too thick will be harder to weave. It's a little fiddly to weave but just remember its not under and over but through and around - I hope to explain this better with photo's - just see the instructions below.

You're the cutest - valentine card

A monster makes a unique valentine card - he is rather cute though

I absolutely love the Monster Love stamp and die set by Concord & 9th and it makes a great valentine card. I was going to make it red based because that's how most valentine cards are made, however after colouring the monster blue, grey for the base card seemed more appropriate and I think it really works.

As the stamp set has numerous stamps within it, it's very versatile. I've used this stamp set before to make a birthday card - click here to see that post.

Little Ladybug Valentine Card

How to create a lovely 3d card with Stampin Up's Little Ladybug stamp set

I absolutely love this stamp set from Stampin Up. I thought I'd be able to use the little ladybirds to make a frame and then when I saw the flying Ladybird it was crying out to make it pop out of the card with some sort of spring.

Hedgehugs xx

A valentine card made using Stampin' Up! Hedgehugs stamp set

So this week I've made a valentine card using a very cute hedgehog stamp. I've also used a large background stamp so I can show you the easiest way to use them to get the best results.

Finally ! - a way I can successfully use LARGE background stamps. The bonus with these background stamps is they are large enough to create backgrounds for the most commonly used C6 cards and you can ink them in any colour to match any project you are doing.
