Fabulous February release peeks at Clearly Besotted

Teaser Time

Hi – here I am again with more glimpses of the fabulous new stamps and dies available in the upcoming February release from Clearly Besotted.  Today I’m sharing a card made with the new Hoppy Easter set – don’t you LOVE that bunny.  The set comes with one large solid bunny and one smaller outline bunny.  I thought she’d be perfect for a spot of paper piecing so pulled out some of my MOUNTAIN of unused and unloved patterned paper and got to work!

So what have you seen so far that’s piqued your interest?  Need more inspiration?  Pop over to see what Steph and the rest of the DT have created to whet your apatite even more!!  And don’t forget – tonight is the night – the release goes live at 10 pm GMT so make sure you’re there as these products do have a habit of flying off the shelves in 10 minutes flat!!

Sorry but I can’t link the patterned papers – they are from Pebbles but are no longer available that I can find!

Channeling my inner Debby!

Hiya!  Did you follow the Online Card Class: Stencilled recently?  I did and have to say it is one of my favourites yet!  I LOVED it!  I have a few stencils in my stash and now have so many more ideas to use them.  My lovely friend Debby Hughes once again was such an inspiration and so I took her ideas and came up with this card:

The chicken wire background is actually super-sparkly but it doesn’t show in the photo at all – neither does the shimmer on the birdcage!!  I went over it with a coat of Wink of Stella – Crystal {LOVE}.  Bought myself a few Heidi Swapp mists too – this one is called Seafoam – gives a nice subtle background without overpowering anything – could get addicted to these!

The last 10 Minute Craft Dash of the year!!

Hey everyone!  Lordy – has it been 2 weeks since I posted a card on my blog??  I’ve been so busy these last weeks  but all my Christmas prep is now done and I’m as organised as I can be!  Phew!!  The kids break up from school for the holidays tomorrow so it’s going to be fun all the way to the big day now!

The card I’m sharing {sniff} is my last one as a DT member for the 10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge {sob}.  The current DT term is coming to an end and I just want to say a HUGE big thank you to Paulina for giving me the chance to be part of such an awesome team.  The Craft Dash is such a fun concept and I really hope Paulina decides to pick it up again in the new year.CD 32 Anything Goes
