This was one of those cards that sat in my head for a while before I managed to get it out on to paper. I wanted to try stamping Mr Fox straight on to this grey spotty
DSP (Watercolour Wonder) and colour him in. The DSP was surprisingly easy to watercolour on (I used Cajun Craze ink and an Aquapainter). A word bubble was perfect for the sentiment.
It seems that the answer to "What does the fox say?" in this case is a rather cheeky "You're HOW old?" ....Cheeky Mr Fox!

When I bought the Spiral Flower Die I went a little mad making lots and lots of roses, of various sizes and colours. I made vintage roses, double roses, rosebuds, and these roses on stems (floral wire). Then I went looking for a suitable vase at my local $2 Shop, and stumbled across some Salt and Pepper shakers (for the princely sum of $2 a pair). Originally I was going to take the lid off, but when I got home I realised that the floral wire fit perfectly in the holes and helped hold the flowers in place.
All it needed was a little bit of jazzing up and voila! Salt 'n' Pepper roses! TIP: The leaves are actually petals from the Blossom Punch.

I love products where all the hard work is done for you. That's definitely
the case with these Watercolor Wonder notecards. I've stretched mine a bit further by chopping off the front and mounting them onto some Smoky Slate cards. I then used the back pieces to cut out my banners (although you could just as easily use them to make a second set of cards!)
All of my sentiments are from the Perfect Pennants stamp set. A few flowers, butterflies and sequins for embellishment and I was done!

pssst....wanna know a secret?
The greeting on this card is on the inside:
I've combined the "pssst" stamp from the Happy Watercolour set with the Word Bubble framelits to make this card. And the big bold greeting inside the card is from Another Great Year. It's a simple card that makes a big impression.

I made this card in a frenzy of card-making for my Open House in February. This one was CaSEd from a card I found on Pinterest. Pinterest is an awesome tool for cardmaking inspiration. You can follow me on Pinterest HERE
The original card was by Cheryl Holtman. I only made a few minor changes to make it my own. These bold colours and geometric patterns would make a great teen birthday card!

The Tag Topper Punch is definitely not just for tags. It makes really cute little treat holders too. This little box is filled with Hershey Kisses, and was a gift for a recent Workshop Hostess. It is made simply by punching a 5cm strip of cardstock at both ends, folding at intervals, and wrapping in Patterned Paper.
I've used one of the prettiest papers in the Catalogue (in my humble opinion, anyway) Venetian Romance.
