The Design Team arew showcasing Basic Grey products this week. You don't HAVE to use them to join in but if you have them then why not use them !


This month we are welcoming AMERICA into the November Designer Spotlight ! If you haven't visited America's blog, Cards By America, then you are in for a treat ! Especially if you are a fellow House Mouse lover ! :-)

I made 2 cards this week !! I LOVE buttons and do tend to use them on many of my cards :-)

First up ,,, Put Your Feet Up ,,,



I made this card for a blog friend who is going through a bit of a rough time at the moment and she does need to put her feet up :-)

I used a lovely stamp from a UnityYou’re a Doll’ set, I coloured her with Copics and made a felt flower using a Die-namics rolled rose die, the quality of this felt is fabulous ! LOVE it I also made her a little cushion to make her comfy :-) The papers are Basic Grey from the Life of the Party pack and I used some red card for layering, I used a Tim Holtz Mini Paper Rosette die and a MFT Button Quartet die to make felt buttons, I finished these with some Hero Arts twine, the ribbon was hanging on a ribbon ring and I added a heart charm to finish. All the edges were stitched on my machine :-)



Next up is this cute House Mouse Sew What



Little Monica is waiting so patiently for Amanda to fix her little toy mouse ,, sew cute !! Smile I coloured the image with Copics and inked the edges with Spun Sugar and Vintage Photo DI’s I used basic Grey Out of Print papers and a Marjorlaine button, finishing with some Hero Arts Twine again. I used some TH Bias Tape which I coloured with a copic marker, the sentiment is from a Hero Arts Sew Artsy set.



Thanks for looking :-) America and the DT have made some gorgeous cards for your inspiration so hop on over to the Simon Says Stamp Challenge to see them Smile

I have a blog candy at the top of my blog if you would like to join in :-)
