Sometimes it only takes a tiny bloom and an interesting leaf to be a show stopper.

Stand out from the crowd and do you. We all have something that make us special share your gift with the ones you love.

Finally back in my craft room this weekend. 👏🏻

I used Curly Sue Smile Slimline Die Set, 5cm Letters and the very cute Woodware Festive Fuzzies mini Stamps coloured with Distress Watercolour Pencils to pop these 3 together. 🥰

Simple Christmas cards with embossed backgrounds and a mix of Anita Jeram and Kris Lauren critters from Colorado Craft.

Too cute.😍

A couple of House Mouse Design Christmas cards ready to go. 🎄

Trying different things but a bit of glittery sparkle never goes astray. 😉

I’ve lost my creative spark this last week. 🤦🏼‍♀️

So I find the best thing to do when this happens is give myself a stamp challenge. My go to is to use a stamp that’s not a Christmas stamp and make a Christmas card.

This normally does the trick and gets me creating again. 🤞🏻

I think we have found our Christmas Tree theme for this year Inland Sea!
Santa’s on surfboard’s, in tinnies, water birds, fish, garlands with sticks to represent snags & missing fences, mozzie & tiny vials of blood ornaments.
😉

Please share if you have any other great ideas👍🏻

Pretending it’s a perfect Spring and I don’t have to fight my way through weeds and mud to fill a vase with flowers. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[Nadine Mortimer @BlingCottage]

These painting little guinea pigs found the perfect background from a scrap piece I was using with cosmic shimmer powders to clean my gel press and brayer. 🤷🏼‍♀️

It was just to pretty to throw out. 😉

The first time ever this Rhipsalis has flowered for me. 👀

Just beautiful and covered in the most dainty little bloom bursts. 💥

[Nadine Mortimer @BlingCottage]

Absolutely love ❤️ this Curly Sue Wine Bottle Gift Tag Die Set and the Merry Christmas stamp from the Curly Sue All Occasion Sentiment Set is a classic. And just like that I’m already ahead for Xmas. 😉

3 easy tags with Anita Jeram, Kris Lauren, Big & Bold CCC from my stash.

Lots of glittery gold! 🤩

The sentiment is from previous foiling.

The heart stitched background die looks great matted in gold.
The Anita Jeram cuties come from the Furever Friends set, one of my favourites. 🥰

When you’re looking for silver accents but the foundry wax comes out in a big blob and you hate to waste it. 😂

Using the Curly Sue gift tag die for a soft feminine look. 💕

Teamed with CCC Anita Jeram cuties.🥰
