It's ok to rest and recharge

Sharing a cozy one layer card with these cute penguin friends having some relaxing time together. I used the new Smile more stamp set from @alexsyberiadesigns along with a couple more sets to help set the scene. Alex Syberia Design products Smile more Hog happy day (pile of books) Merry Christmice (cupcake, ladder and Christmas tree) To create this card, I started by stamping the slippers from the Smile more set and the small book from the Hog happy day set. I also stamped them on masking paper and adhered the masks on the panel. I then stamped the couch and penguin holding the book. Next, I stamped the side-table, the ladder and Christmas tree from the Merry Christmice set. With a ruler and pencil, I hand-drew the bookcase at the back. I then stamped the books, a tea pot, mugs and cupcake on the shelves. With a Copic liner, I went over the bookcase lines and set it aside to dry completely. I colored the images with Copic markers. To finish the card, I stamped the sentiment above the b

You've got mail! Yay!

Sharing another project for @freakincutestamps featuring Eddie and Hugo on a big postage stamp. How cute are they! Their big eyes just crack me up. Meet Eddie! This adorable little weasel lives near a campground. Every holiday, when people bring their pets, he gets the chance to make new friends. His ingenious strategy for staying in touch ? He gives his friends the campground's address and always makes sure to be there when the mailman comes, so he can snatch his mail before the campground owners notice anything! Meet Hugo! This cheerful little snail dislikes the winter. He can't stand having to hibernate in his cozy shell all day long, but oh boy, does he come alive during spring! To celebrate the return of greenery, he puts on his finest bow tie and sets out to explore the surroundings.

Kiss the chef

I'm sure you now think I'm obsessed with Recipe cards and I probably am. But as I chose to work with some amazing @sandraspitaleri Ratatouille stamp sets, I thought I had to make another recipe card. I also chose one of the sets because of that gorgeous pepper grinder (I have exactly the same one in my kitchen, along with its salt companion in red). I also used the Knife die which I think is just fabulous and so versatile. And of course, I added a few more elements to set the scene such as the tomatoes from the Burger N Fry die set and the wood spoon from the Cereal bowl die set. I also used a few other products from my stash to complete the scene. Products: Cheers, Little chef, Knife die, Burger N Fry die set, Cereal bowl die set (The Sassy Club) Cooking pans (Marianne Designs) Recipe card stamp (The Ton Stamps) Lovely layers: Herb garden (Honeybee stamps) Distress oxide Scattered straw and Distress ink Vintage photo #thesassyclub #thesassyclubstamps #card #cardmaking #cardmak

A note to say

Sharing another project for @freakincutestamps featuring the cute Sany, a pretty bunny, playing the trumpet. Meet Sany! It's music day today, and Sany stumbled upon a trumpet. This little mischievous minx, always ready to pull a prank, grabbed it and blew into it very hard! The funny thing is, she was as surprised as her victim since she thought it was a peashooter! Intrigued, she is now wondering how she could use this big bow with multiple strings !
