Banner Kiki La Rue

Hi :)

I have had a wonderful time colouring images with my girls this week.  It was so lovely to sit and chat, admire and encourage each other :)

This is one of the stamps I got to colour.  Isn't she adorable? !!!
It's Banner Kiki La Rue by CC Designs.
I also got to use a die by CC Designs called the Frilly Banner Die, which of course worked perfectly with her :)  I also added the Bow Die  by Whimsy stamps to the banner and they look great together I think.

All the papers are from a Kaisercraft pad called Sweet Pea and there are some gorgeous designs in it.
Some of them are even embossed and glossy, like the dot paper I used here.  The scalloped piece is a die-cut from the pad too.

I used Walnut Stain distress ink to stamp the sentiment from the Whimsy set Birthday Letter Seals and ink around the edges of the paper.  And I also used a Tea Thyme Prima Button.

Thanks for dropping by today :)

Sweet Penguins

Hi,

Kathy here with a couple of Christmas cards I made using the adorable set by CC Designs called Sweet Penguins.  There are 3 individual penguin stamps in the set and for my first card I decided to make a tower with them :)  I also added a CC Designs Cutters die called Lolli and I cut the Merry Christmas sentiment from a stamp in the Whimsy set called Holiday Sliders 3.  It does look a little like he might be sitting on a block of ice :)  The paper is from a pad by KaiserCraft called Sweet Pea and I have also used some light pink raffia lace.

Well I was having so much fun with these cute penguins that I decided to make another card.  This time I just used the one penguin with a cute sentiment stamp by High Hopes called Penguin Greeting. I also used the beautiful La La Land Ornate Snowflakes die and added clear acrylic flat gems to their centres. The gorgeous background paper is from an Authentique pad called Joyous and I also added rock candy stickles to the edge of the snow bank.

These little penguins are so fun and you can make a card so quickly and easily with them.  I reckon they'd make great Birthday cards too with a "You're Cool", "Hope you have Cool Birthday" or "Hope you're birthday's sweet" sentiment. They are on sale at the moment along with a heap of other goodies in the Christmas Shop at 25% off.  You could buy yourself a great Christmas present or be well prepared for next year ;)

I hope you have a very happy Christmas :)
