Thinlets Halloween

I can't tell you how excited I was about the new thinlets dies, they make life so much easier.  I was very jealous of our American friends who got them first.

I was chomping at the bit to try them out and here's the first card I made with them

I made this Halloween card for Scotty too Hotty's teacher.  It uses the Toil and Trouble stamp set and the new Witches Brew papers, these papers are fantastic I just love them.

The thinlets score and cut, and are so easy to use, plus you get an assortment of other die's in with it.

The sentiment is from the delightful dozen stamp set, I've just inked the edges of this with pumpkin pie ink.

Rosetta, are you better? Are you well?

Yes I know it's an old song lol but I was being rather uncreative again with my headings.  Very busy in the Keating household and with any luck we will be moving, so fingers crossed.  Should I go slient on here you'll know it's because I'll be in a packing frenzy lol

So today's offering is a rosette, I was given a similar one at out Telford training as a swop and loved it so decided to recreate it.

I used the rosette die to make this but you could just as easiliy make this on your scoreboard.  I've added the lobster catch so that it can hang from your bag.

 The leaf is from the bird builder punch and the butterflies are the elegant butterfly and the bitty bitty butterfly punches.

A Wedding Gift

Well the sun has got his hat on this morning, lets see how long it will last for.  Scotty too Hotty had a staring role yesterday in his teachers Assembly, not sure altogether what he did and by the way he explained it I'm not sure he did either lol.

Anyhoo on to todays offering, which is a gift to match the card I showed you yesterday

It's a lovely pottery heart that I have stamped using Melon Mambo ink and the 'Tiny Tags' stamp set.  Have a closer look

 

It was very easy to do, however I think you would have more of a problem stamping with wood mounted stamps as there is no give in them like the clear ones I have used.  This set by the way, is retiring.

Of course I had to make some pretty packaging for it

A bit closer I think

It's a simple thing to make just using the top note die, the En francias stamp a scalloped circle and some paper roses.

Here's what I used

Summer Flutterbyes

Well what a day yesterday, sun blazing down, dare we believe that summer is now here?  Scotty too Hotty went off to school with hat and sunglasses and loaded down with suntan lotion, He also went with 6 bars of chocolate to share with his class as they are doing a project on chocolate, not sure how they will have fared in a hot classroom though lol.

Now I'll apologize now for today's project as it is product heavy which wasn't my intention I think I just got a bit carried away lol

 These are little hostess gifts that I've made

Here's a closer look, I've used the top note, enfrancias stamp, Inked up the vintage wall paper embossing folder to get that effect on the scalloped circle, I've also used the elegant and itty bitty butterfly punches and the blue flower is from the itty bitty punch pack.  Colours are pretty in pink, baja breeze and crumb cake
