Video: Neat & Tangled Guest Designer – Floral Hearts : Two Ways!
Today I have two more cards using some fun products from Neat & Tangled, this is my last post as Guest Designer… I can’t believe how quickly this month has flown by.
My focus today is the Floral Heart stamp set and matching die and the video is a little longer than usual as I filmed both cards, almost in production line style.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5bHTEt5vM0]
I had to use the Awesome die again, but this time I made it all gold and shiny!
For the remaining sentiments I used the My Favorite Nut stamp set.
I love that the Floral Heart die can be separated, what a genius idea!
I would just like to say a big Thank You to Neat & Tangled I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as Guest Designer this month!

I just had to have a Unicorn stamp and there are actually a few on my ‘wish’ list, but this one made it into my hot little hands first and for some reason it had to be a shaker and have sparkle!
In my video today I share just how easy it can be to blend Copic colours that are from different colour families.

Penny Black – Cats shaking it Birthday Card!
Today I have a quick and easy shaker card, using these fun Penny Black Party cats. I decided to colour them with some Inktense pencils and couldn’t do too much ‘mixing’ as it was on regular cardstock. I kept it fairly neutral so I could use it for a boy if I wanted. (Yes, I’m still working on my masculine card stash…. )
Thanks for your visit today, hope you have great things planned!

Diamond are a girl’s best friend, especially the BIG ones!
This time the call was for Diamonds / Jewels for the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine and I realised that I had not one….. sadly. But I got creative and this is what I came up with, it’s hard to see in this below average photo but each section of the diamond is a shaker… so cool!
Loving the sentiment too which is a wood veneer from Freckled Fawn, they have such fun embellies. Have a great day,
