Fairy Minnie

Welcome all to the Simply Sunday Challenge at 




So today's challenge is.... "Fantasy Land"
So I have made a Minnie Mouse card with a twist. 


Now, Minnie Mouse is not a Fairy but I thought to make her more on the fantasy side she would need a set of wings.  

I used 2 Cricut carts for this image. The first of course is Mickey and Friends for the Minnie image, and the wings are from Straight from the nest. 

The background paper is My Minds Eye Spots paper pack, and the ribbon is from spotlight. 

For the sentiment I have used K Andrew Designs stamps set Positive Thoughts

K Andrew Designs

I punched the label from a stamping up punch then stamped the sentiment on it. I then went over the sentiment with a glitter pen to give it some shimmer.


I have then used Liquid pearls to add some colour to the tag and Kindy Glitz on Minnie's dress and bow, what is a fair without glitter!?!  

Here is the video


I would have to say this card is one of my all time favourites!!
 So now it's  your turn, come and join us at Getting Cricky's Simply Sunday Challenge!!

Have a Crafty Day, Cheers Jennie

Winter Bird

It is time for another Simply Sunday Challenge over at Getting Cricky and this time we are using the theme "let it snow" and the project must include embossing. So for this challenge I have make the winter bird on the Cricut cartridge 3 Birds on Parade.



I used the snowflakes Cuttlebug embossing folder for the background that I swiped very lightly with white ink, just enough to highlight the embossing. The flower border punch is martha stewart. The clouds have 2 layers so they really pop up from the card, and the stamp set is fro K Anderw Design  Splashtastic Summer stamp set.

This is my very first video Enjoy!!



So come and try this challenge with us, you have until

Coffee & Tea for You & Me

Welcome to a week of Pre-Hop projects!!
This week the Getting Cricky Design Team that I am very lucky to be a part of, is having a pre-hop week before our Blog Hop on Friday the 20th January!!


We were asked to use a set of stamps to showcase this particular stamp set. I am using the wonderful Coffee & Tea for You & Me  and the Coffee and Tea Time image set  and Coffee & Tea Treats Tag-Along Sentiments. These sets are a must for all Coffee and Tea lovers out there and they are just so versatile with all the sentiments you can make with this set!!





So on to the first card of the week, for this card I used the Cricut cartridge Love You a Latte.



The papers are from the Kaisercraft 6" paper pad Lilac Avenue Collection. I inked all the edges with the Tim Holtz antique linen distress ink. Then I stamped the sentiment with K Andrew Designs stamp set Coffee & Tea for You & Me using adirondack "ginger" ink pad.  The sentiment "the perfect blend" is joined together, so I masked the world as I stamped with some tape so I was then able to use them under each other, making a coffee label!

So please return each day this week as I take you through some wonderful ways to use the Coffee & Tea Stamp Sets. Please check out these stamp sets and many others at K Andrew Designs.
