Swinging by to say hi


This pretty lady is from The Glittering Trapezist clear stamp set.

I stamped her out coloured her with copics and added shiny touches with an acrylic gold paint pen from Nova. Then I masked her and created the back ground by ink blending Spun sugar, kitsch flamingo and wilted violet distress oxide inks using the cloudy skies stencil from Heffy Doodle.


The sentiment is from the Heffy Doodles chimply the best clear stamp set from Heffy Doodle.

Brightening up the darkest depths


This stamp is from Moonlight Whispers Stamps and is called the darkest depths. I wanted to change her up and give her a pastel feel. She was so much fun to colour up with my copics and I just had to add the pearls for that little touch of extra texture.
The sentiment is from a Sweet November Stamps stamp set called Sea birds.


You can get this beauty from the Crafty Purple Frog store in the UK or direct from the Moonlight Whispers Store in Canada.

Just roll with it


Sometimes in life we just have to roll with what we get thrown our way. I just hope that I can have as much fun rolling with it as this Skateboard Kate is having. This fun stamp is from the brilliant Moonlight Whispers - Illustrations by Annie Rodrigue and you can get her direct from the Moonlight Whispers store (in Canada) or from the Crafty Purple Frog store here in the UK. I kept my card for her very simple and just added a sentiment from another Moonlight Whispers Stamp set called "Rollin' back to the 90's" as I wanted her to really pop.

One layout 2 cards



Hey Crafty Friends,

I am so excited to be a Guest Designer again for Heffy Doodles this week. This is my third post and today I am using one card layout and making two different cards. Of course using lots of yummy Heffy Doodle goodies


These are the two cards I have made using the brilliant bright and fun Summer Holiday paper pack, stamps (with their coordinating dies), sparkle mix for that touch of bling and stencils. Everything I used is from the awesome Heffy Doodle. I really love that you can get everything you need from the one brand to make great fun cards.

So let’s break these cards down. I am going to use the yellow and green Thank you fur everything card in my example but as you can see you can use the stamps and stencils you have and make your own scene. Here is what you will need:

2 different pattern papers

In my picture the 2 pieces of yellow paper are cut to 5 1/4 x 2 1/2 inches

The green paper is cut to 5 7/8 x 2 inches


I backed these on a piece of Huckleberry card stock which is a great navy blue colour I cut it 6 x 6 inches.

As you can see I also drew a line around the edge of my card and I did this before I stuck it all together by hand with a ruler. I forgot to use a white pen to line around the huckleberry card stock at the back and did this later as I just love how it finishes everything off.



I know this is a boring picture but it is hard to get a picture of white card on a white background so I have stacked these two next piece together just to show you how they will be added to the card. Don’t stick them together yet though as you want to do some stencilling on the white piece first.

The sizes for these are 4 x 3 3/4 inch for the white card and that is another piece of huckleberry card this time at 4 1/4 x 3 3/4 inches.

Now you have all your parts it is time for the fun bit! Pick your stamps and stencils 

For the first card I used these Heffy Doodle supplies:











The next thing I did was coloured all the cute critters that were just calling out to me to be stamped up from the Two by Two Safari animals and that adorable lion from the Mane Squeeze stamp set. Before using my Heffy Doodle mini die cutting machine and their coordinating dies to cut around them.

Time to get stencilling! The wildside stencil gave a great pattern to make a background on the white 4 x 3 1/2 inch card. Again the edges for me had to be drawn around then I stuck this to my piece of Huckleberry card stock.

I stamped the sentiment from the Furry Friend sentiment stamps in the top left corner of my stencilled square and then it was time to assemble everything.

To add that touch of bling some sequins from the Pride sparkle mix were the perfect addition to be scattered across the card.

But as I said you can use these measurements and this idea and give it your own twist. Change up the stamps you use and the stencils. I used stencils to create a scene background for my llama card rather than just having a pattern. Plus I moved the patterned papers slightly so the pink paper was in the centre of the card.



The Heffy Doodle Supplies I used for this second card are:









I would love to see what you can make using this layout and I hope this has inspired you to break out your patterned papers and play.

Sending you smiles :D




Hello lovely crafty people!

This is Amy coming to you on a different day this week with my Sweet November Stamps DT card due to the fun collab hop with Heffy Doodle that went on on Tuesday. You have until next Tuesday the 26th of March to enter the hop by the way so be sure to click HERE if you haven't already hopped along for your chance to win some great prizes.






Now onto my card for today......This duo are digi stamps from the awesome Sweet November Stamps. they are both from the Midsummer Mushroom Collection and are called Honeycup & Porcini. I just couldn't resist putting them together for this card. I didn't colour either of their mushrooms the colours they would be in real life but for me that is the fun of colouring 😁 You can pick the colours you want.




In the background I used a Sweet November Stamps Scene Builder digi called Brownie Hole and Accessories. The sentiment is from a The Greeting Farm stamp set called Anya Combo 2.




Finally for my layers under my scene I used some green card from Dovecrafts A4 primary colour card pack plus some gold glitter washi tape from the love to craft washi tape collection over at DRK crafts.


I hope you have all had a great week so far and are ready for the weekend.


Huge hugs
