Here, Piggy, Piggy!

I absolutely love pigs. I have them all over my house, pottery pigs, wooden pigs, knitted pigs, beanie baby pigs ... you get the picture, LOL!

So you can imagine how delighted I was to find a piggy set in the new SU catalogue :) Here's a selection of cards I made this weekend with the new set, This Little Piggy.

New Home!

One of my friends at work just moved into their new home yesterday. I've been itching for an excuse to try out this whimsical house stamp and thinlit bundle so was thrilled to have a perfect excuse to use it. I love the whimsy of this set, the house made up of flowers is just sweet and fresh and it came together very easily. My only tip would be to start with the larger stamp first, this is a 3-layer stamp so start with the largest (powder pink), then with the leaves (lemon lime twist) then with the tiny flowers (peekaboo peach)

Here's a close up of the images. They are so fun, I love it!

Congratulations Card

A friend of mine asked me to make a card for their "newly-qualified doctor" daughter, Esha. She wanted something special which could be out on display next to Esha's gradution photo.

I reached for 2 of the new "in-colours" for 2017/2018, Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Blast. The card is based on this one by Sabrina. I used "Lift me Up", mounting the main balloon on a panel using a window sheet so it appears to be floating. I thought the sentiment was perfect too!
