Hey Crafty Friends, I'm back today to share another Guest Design post for Melon Peach stamps. Weve had a very crazy year and going out buying gifts is not something I fancied doing this year so I've been giving out gift vouchers to allow the recipient to use it at their leasure and treat themselves with exactly what they like! However I always find Gift Card holders to be boring so I thought why not make my own using a gift card pocket die.

Recently I shared a non traditional coloured Christmas card over on Instagram using 2 Angel's from the digi stamp set by Melon Peach Stamps, if you didn't manage to see it you can find it  here. The Angel set included 3 Angel's so I was left with one already printed and of course had to use her for my project here. Angel's are not just for Christmas!  Using Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends to colour her up and fussy cut the image out. ...

Hey Crafty Friends, Bereavement of any kind is hard to go through, I'm sure we all struggle with bereavement cards or projects. Today I wanted to share something a little different to a card, a personalised frame. I am making a personalised pet bereavement frame however this would work for any type of project you want to do. As always product links can be found at the end of my post 😊 (click any image to view it larger) As part of the coffee bean design team this month we were provided an image by our illustrator Becky Conley of an arch with leave twines, having previously picked up a frame in a pound store I immediately came up with this gift idea. Starting with my image printed on alcohol marker friendly cardstock and coloured it up using Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends. Based on where my idea is going I also drew some step inside the archway. For the backing panel I distress inked squeezed lemonade onto PaintON cardstock. Colour combination: Archway - Green Turquoise blend Leaves - Or...
