Hello lovelies!This week I'm sharing a simple card using Mama Elephant's "Oh Puppy Tree" stamp set! I'm absolutely in love with this set, all of the puppies are adorable and it's easy to mass produce simple cards with, perfect for the holiday season!

So here we go  Unfortunately I  had to make a sympathy card this month, when I read the sentiments to this stamp set this was perfect. Then after enjoying this challenge  so much, i went on to make an autumnal card for...

Hey lovelies!I'm taking a break from the Christmas cards this week to share a birthday card using Waffle Flower's "Pawsome" stamp set! We've all forgotten a birthday or sent a card a little afterwards, so it's always handy to have one of these cards in your stash for these occasions! I placed some white card stock in my Misti stamping tool and stamped my images from the set using Gina K's Amalgam Jet Black ink. I coloured them with my alcohol markers, added details with a white gel pen and fussy cut them out. I cut a polaroid photo frame...
