A ray of Sunshine

It is raining here and I am starting to feel a bit like a duck, the roads are wet and I have been watching the river (the village flooded a few years ago). To avoid the rain I have been playing with the Sunshine Wishes and Sunshine sayings  stamp and die set.

I love this set, I have had it for a long time, I think it was one of the first bundles I bought along with the Balloon punch. The Sunshine Wishes contains 7 dies, a flower, butterfly, heart and the words congrats, sunshine, love and hope. The Sunshine sayings stamp set contains 26 stamps. If you search on pinterest you will find alot of examples using the heart, therefore, whilst looking at inspiration and deciding what to make i have made more with the other dies,

The stamp set gives a number of options to create sentiments, with or without the dies. I love the versatility of the set, they can be combined with other stamps, dies or punches, or used alone. The Videos below show an overview of the stamp and dies, also the examples I have made using the gorgeous stamps and dies.

I love this set, I am off into the craft room to play with the Sale-a-bration items. What are you playing with?

Dancing Piggies

I am so excited, I got to go to a team retreat today, it was very last minute. Tom was going to a big boys toys day, which was cancelled because of the weather. We did lots of crafting and nattering. I love spending time with my Strawberry craft family, they are amazing. I had an amazing day, we made advent calendars, bubbles and also tins of cards. I will show these later in the week, I haven’t quite finished, I tend to talk more than I craft at these events.

Another reason I had a fab day is I finally got the piggies!! squeal with delight! I have loved it since saw it at OnStage in Amsterdam. I have been uming and arghing about it for so long. I can’t wait to make pigs in tutus, pigs with Crowns and of course pigs in muck. The picture below is the card in the catlogue.

I can’t wait to make my own piggie card. hopefully I will be able to later this week.
