I think you're kind of a Pig Deal!

Happy Weekend everyone hope your all well and loving the new release!

I have a fun clean and simple card for you today on the blog today using the new Hogs and Kisses stamp set. I love the white on white with the die cut background it gives it a bright, clean look whilst making the image pop. 

The die cut background is the Sunburst cover plate die from last months release its super versatile and I've used it so much I just popped it on a card base and cut the card base down to fir the size.

For the topped I used the Circle of Love Nesting dies and cut out two circles one I inked up some grey clouds using the Sunny Side up stencil. The other I cut out some grass using the new Landscape Edge standalone die and I ink blended with some Twisted Citron Distress Ink. The cute little pig is just so fun I can see me using him so much, I coloured him up and stuck my topper together and popped it on the base then added my sentiment strip and that was my card finished up.

It was super quick to make but still looks striking I hope you liked my card for today and don't forget you can get 10% off in the shop using code T4TNATALIE10

Sneak Peek Day 5!

Hi all its Day 5 of sneak peek week and I hope your loving the new release as much as we are!

Today's peeks feature the Windmill Builder Die set its a super fun die that's very versatile you can make the sails move by adding a brad, just keep them still like I have here or I've also left them off altogether to make a house for my piggies.

The super cute bunny and sentiment are from the Up, Up and away stamp set as soon as I saw the bunny I had to make a card with him taking a ride on the sails. The sentiment just seems perfect for right now too so great for sending to family and friends to let them you are thinking of them. 

Again the grass die is from a new set I was hoping Jo would bring out a die set like this and she didn't disappoint it works perfectly with our critter sets for all your scene card needs. There's more too those cute little flowers in the grass they are from the new Windmill Add on Dies so even more accessories to add to your scene and you know I love my scene cards!

It's a big release again and it won't disappoint if you want to see the big reveal you can join us for our Facebook live Monday 8pm GMT. 

 

Mew are the Best Gift of All

Happy Saturday everyone its Design Team member Natalie up on the blog today sharing my Christmas morning scene card. I love how there's lots of detail going on but the crisp white background gives it a clean and simple feel. 

I started by cutting out three squares of white card stock using the stitched square nesting dies then in one cut out a smaller square using the same die set for the window. On one of the other squares I inked some blue clouds using the Sunny Side Up again stencil and added some darker blue splotches for some added detail. The sun is cut out of the gorgeous Rainbow Brights Essentials Paper Pad using the Sunburst Cover Plate Die. 

As you know I don't like to use too many different colours on my cards I say it's because I find it more aesthetically pleasing but I also find picking colours really hard so find it easier to stick to a few. I like the colour coordination in the presents too and you can always add texture or pattern with a gelly roll pen. I find also helps to quicken the colouring progress especially if you have a production line going on. So I coloured up my cat and presents from Mew are the Best Gift of All in a range of reds, blues and greys and die cut it out. The Christmas Tree is from the Warm Winter Wishes stamp set I didn't add any extra baubles so as I thought there was a lot going on in the scene already and wanted to keep the attention on the cat.

Then I added the sentiment to the card and layered it all together using the third square we die cut at the back of the card base and that was my card finished. I hope you like it!

The Greater the Storm the Brighter the Rainbow!

Morning all well its been a full week already since the new release and it looks like your all loving it as much as we are! I love how everything works so well with each other I combined the Storms don't last Forever and the Grateful for You Landscape stamp sets for this sweet card.

I started out by cutting out two large circles from the Circles of Love Nesting Dies and two circles the next size down. Using the smaller circle I ink blended some clouds using the Sunny Side up Again Stencil and Pumice Stone Distress Oxide ink. I finished it off with some splatters of Iced Spruce Distress Oxide then I set it aside to dry.

Using the other small circle I cut I stamped the Grateful for You landscape image on and coloured up with Copic markers. I fussy cut it out right on the line and chopped off some of the other elements just keeping two of the mountains and one tree. This just gives it a different look and gives more room for the Rainbow in the background.

The rainbow I stamped out using Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide then the middle arch I heat embossed with Gold embossing powder. The cloud is die cut with the cloud die I just didn't stamp it and the sun is from the Grateful for You Landscape set. 

For the sentiment I added some Worn Lipstick distress oxide on some card then stamped straight on top and die cut it out. Then all was left to do was stick everything together and pop on the back of the card the second larger circle I cut and  my card was finished.
