Music Theme at MAWTT

It's time for another challenge at MAWTT and our theme is Music.  I've used a digi image from the retired Stampin' Up! MDS package and then enhanced it with stamps from the new awesome stamp set Touches of Texture along with a little Gorgeous Grunge. These sets are so good to use to add pattern, texture and interest regardless of colour or type of card you make.

The rock genius is made up from Painter's Palette and Crazy About You stamp sets and I've added a few stars in emerald envy from the new in colour enamel shapes.

You can see all the new products in my online shop HERE

Christmas Card Club - A card for someone special

Happy Mother's Day to all mums in the UK

Stampin' Up! Snow Place card by Zoe Tant UK demo 

It's my turn in our Christmas Card Club to set the challenge this fortnight and as it's Mother's Day today in the UK,  I asked everyone to make a card for someone special.  Be sure to visit the other lovely ladies blogs to see their beautiful cards.  You can find them easily in my left sidebar.

I hadn't  used my set of super cute Snow Place snowmen and penguins so got them out to make a card for my brother and his family.  They have two boys and a little girl.  It's easy and fun and you can dress them up how you want. It's a little like going back to childhood with those paper dolls and adding clothes.  

Included in the stamp set, which is still available from the Stampin' Up! winter catalogue carry over list, are some snow flakes that in soft sky ink are just enough to add to the Christmas cheer and using the fine tip glue pen  I've added some fine dazzling diamonds glitter exactly where I wanted it to give the illusion of snow and of course to satisfy my need for a bit of bling.  The sentiments are from Crazy for You which I have jigged to suit using my stamp-a-ma-jig.

Folk have asked about my Dad's progress which is really very thoughtful.  His operation went well and now he is coming round, but experiencing some pain naturally from such a big operation.  Most of all he is missing food, as he has to now remain on a drip and only have drops of water.  A long road ahead, but hopefully with no hiccups.  Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

Enjoy your Sunday and the week ahead.

Hugs Zx

Happy Mother's Day

My wonderful Mum is becoming more and more of a techie; she even suggested she look for directions online last night, but I'm safe in sharing this with you now as she hasn't reached blogland just yet, but it won't be long.

She adores flowers and so I've made a card for her, to celebrate the UK Mother's Day this Sunday, using the same base card as I used on my post Christmas Card Club - Poinsettias to showcase these beautiful flowers that I stamped with the Flower Patch stamp set and matching Stampin' Up! Flower Fair framelits.  I've also added a sentiment again from the Crazy for You stamp set with it's co-ordinating Hello You thin lit dies.  They come as a bundle in the spring catalogue saving you 15%.  You can see them and other bundles in my Stampin' Up! UK online shop.

Quick Tip Time!
This is a big set and comes only in photopolymer. It has BIG stamps in it and so you'll find it easier to get good images if you put your card stock on your stampin' pierce mat so that all areas of the stamp meet with the card stock.  This makes sure you get a good clean image with lots of colour!

Before I give this to my Mum on Sunday I just might add a butterfly using my elegant butterfly punch which comes with good news if you visit my previous post!! But only until next Tuesday.

Hope you are organised with your cards for Mum if you're in the UK and if you're beyond our shores I think you have weeks still to prepare with Mothering Sunday being in a different month to ours.

More soon.
