Little Penguin Christmas tags (DigiStamp Boutique image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

How sweet are these little penguins from DigiStamp Boutique, I just love them! They were so quick to colour which is always handy when making a few cards/tags. I inked the sky with distress oxide ink, die cut them with my postage stamp die then added some snow mounds and heat embossed the white card so it had a shimmery effect. Then I added some Nuvo drops for falling snow.

Happy Birthday to Ewe! card (DigiStamp Boutique image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have been wanting to use this gorgeous image from DSB for ages and I just hadn't got around to it, it's a great one for practicing wood colouring lol. To keep the wooden theme going I added it to a sheet of wood/flower paper but I think it may have gone better with a nice simple bright card instead, there's always next time huh hehe?

Birthday Dog with bone (DigiStamp Boutique)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Isn't this just one of the sweetest pups ever! I just love this image from DSB. I've had half a sheet of this background paper for the longest time but I couldn't bring myself to throw it out as it's so beautiful. I die cut the scallop circle in the 2 colours then cut the white one so I could give a 'shadow' to the pink scallops.

I've added a lovely white Jasmine puffy flourish from Flourish with a Bling to finish the card off.

Hi Crafty Friends,

Ahh how I love a DigiStamp Boutique doggie image, they're so sweet! Love this one and you can colour it up to suit a boy or girl. This time I've used it to create a boys card although it could probably just pass for a girl's card too (I've not added it to any girl themed challenges). I am loving my stitched square dies, don't know how I lived without them for so long lol.
