Hey Crafty Friends, Welcome back, today I'm bringing you another guest design post for Melon Peach Stamps, if you haven't yet seen their online digi store I highly recommend you check it out, you can find them  here. At the beginning of October they released a panda digi set and I just had to have them!

Colour Combination: Panda: IG5, IG7 + IG9 Bamboo: Light Green blend  For the background I knew I wanted to use a stencil by Time for Tea Designs called Bamboozled. Starting with a distress inked background of Peacock Feathers, Wild Honey, Picked Raspberry and then stenciled over with C...

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...

Hey Crafty Friends, Today I'm sharing another project using a die set by Time for Tea Designs, as always you will be able to find all product links at the end of my post 😊 This project I am using the windmill builder die set alongside woodland critters also by T4TD, although I wont be building a windmill today with this set I am showing you another versatile way to use this die. Previously I turned it into a mushroom toadstool house, you can find my blog on that  here. Now for today's project I am turning the windmill builder die into an acorn house to accompany the squirrel in the woodland critters stamp set. (Click any image to view larger) Starting with the die cut pieces from PaintON cardstock which is my go to for ink blending. Once I had the pieces cut out I used distress inks to give them some colour, wild honey for the main piece and gathered twig for the door and roof, added a little around the edge of the house too for extra dimension. Next I printed the squirrel, se...
