I cant begin to tell you how much I love this little stamp set from Hero Arts! ♥
I bought them as part of my NSD treat and when they arrived I was a little disappointed because i thought they were going to be bigger than they actually were, but oohhh boy, Hero Arts totally called it! They are the perfect size! They are fantastic for little notelets, on cards, as an embellishment on a scrapbook page and for making border strips like I did with this card.
This card is so stupidly easy but i am totally in love with it. It makes me go awwwww.♥
The stamp is from Penny Black Hugs clear stamp set, and I’ve used distress inks and a watercolour brush to colour it it. Then I used nestabilities and my cuttlebug to cut the image into the shape of a circle, and another scalloped circle for layering. The embossed dots are the swiss dots cuttlebug embossing folder. {♥}

Thanks for everyone who joined me for Teacher Appreciation week. i had lots of fun making the cards, and lots of views, it seems that there is a lot of people out there that want to say thanks to the teachers in their lives, which is just great.
For todays post, I’m not sharing a project, but some products! It’s been nearly a month, but i’ve been so busy playing with my National Scrapbook day purchases that I haven’t gotten round to sharing them with you as I promised. So here they are…
I’m mixing it up a little today!! It is of course time for another Miss You Monday card, but as I had issues with YouTube at the weekend, I wasn’t able to post the video i promised. So i’ve decided to post the video this morning for your enjoyment, and later this evening I’ll post this weeks MYM card. WOW, double the fun today, huh?! ♥
This card sums up my mood at the moment! SUMMERTIME!! I’ve had a fantastic weekend, chillin with friends, and between BBQs and beach visits, I am definitely feeling like Summer has finally arrived [♥]. I even have a little bit of colour in my cheeks – although i must say that the ‘red face / white eyes’ look is making me reconsider wearing sunglasses on those bright, sunny days! I look like a weird panda! LOL
The main inspiration for this project was these cool chipboard shapes from Bisous! I totally love the wide variety of cool shapes, the colour combos and the fact that they are really adhesive. I also love the fact that they are self contained on a sheet, rather than in a bag or box that you need to turf out just to see all the remaining shapes. With them all on this fold out sheet, it is soooo very easy to find the exact ones to use. This set is from the ‘hot’ collection, and have bright, bold colours, and I was eager to couple these with a recently purchased cloud stamp from heroarts. And i just ♥ the result!
Thanks for popping by, and come back later to see the MYM card! Enjoy the video! Leave a comment here.
