I love .....

Our new challenge over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

 is all about WHAT YOU LOVE!

Just grab your stamps and show us what floats your boat!

We have 3 great prizes up for grabs too!

So WHAT I LOVE is a shaped card!

I love creating shaped cards for special occasions.

This one was made for my daughter and her partner

moving into their first home.

I have used a Christina Griffiths die set called

6" x 6" flower box and card set.

The card colours are flirty flamingo and coastal cabana.

I stamped the little houses directly onto the card, then

stamped more onto white card and added colour.

I cut them out and 3d'd them.

The trees and flowers were stamped, coloured and added to the layers.

The sentiment is from two different stamp sets.

I added matching ribbon and bow.

The back has been stamped as well using a few different sets

which I will list below.

The front has also had some clouds inked up.

Stamp sets used:

Quite Curvy, Barn Door, One Happy Family,

Coming Home, Beauty of Friendship and At Home with You.

I hope you get time to join us!

Thanks to those of you who asked how I was.

Getting over covid took longer than I had patience for lol.

But we are all doing very well now, energy levels back

and only a small amount of congestion.

We have been busy moving my daughter into her home

and getting ready for her partner and family arriving from

USA today. We have the wedding on Thursday and the visitors

return on Sunday so hopefully things will get a bit more normal around here.

Our new challenge theme at

TAG TUESDAY

was chosen by Wendy and she wants to see

windows, doors, arches!

For my tag I went with a door using  the

Feels Like Home stamp set (R) along with a sentiment from

At Home With You (R)

I stamped it onto the lovely Stitched with Whimsy Dies

and coloured it with blends and promarkers.

I hope you get time to join us.

Apron treat box

I saw a few people doing tutorials on this type of box on YouTube and as I have

this stamp and die set I wanted to use it to make a little New Home gift

for my Son and Daughter-in-law who have been busy moving this weekend.

I used my own measurements to suit the chocolate chip cookies I wanted to pop inside!

I'm pretty pleased with the finished product and so were they.

The biscuits were well received lol.

The inside box is 2" square and I made the handle a lot longer so the contents

could be removed easily.

I think the little tools are so cute!!

Items I have used are:

Apron of Love and At Home with you stamp sets,

Apron Builder framelits,

rich razzleberry card, share what you love dsp,

Polka Dot ribbon and velvet ribbon
