Way to Goat....Blow Out The Candles....wheres the cake?

Hello there
this was for a friend with a lovely sense of humour....

I used a die to cut the top and bottom of the pink layer,
stitched die for the focal topper,
stamped the goat, and stamped and diecut the cake
using Way to Goat and Blow out the candles.
Then inside I used another die cut shape to stamp the other goat,
and used a second cake die cut, cut into pieces,
to show the remains of the goat's feast!


I do love this set, it's so much fun,
however there's only certain people you can call an old goat!

A Very Good Man

Hi there
I have been unable to blog recently, due to a bereavement,
but I wanted to celebrate my better half's birthday today,
so I'm back, and hoping to share some of my recent makes.
I just love A Good Man stamp set, and needed a quick and simple design,
so got out the In Good Taste papers, and cut two designs to fit the A5 card.
A little bit of colouring, and stamped greeting on fussy cut "bricks" did the job. 


Sadly Mum died recently, but we managed to get her home from hospital to spend her last week,
where we could be at her side, until she was ready to go to join Dad who died last year.
It has been a difficult year in so many ways, for so many of us,
but we were so lucky to be with her in her final days. 

I hope you and yours are keeping well
thanks for stopping by
Lesley

Flowering Blooms Sympathy

Hello again,
today I'm sharing a sympathy card made with Flowering Blooms,
Flowering Dies, Lasting Lily and Very Versailles.

The inspiration came from Narelle Faruggia,
you can see her beautiful card HERE

I stamped the background in Petal Pink,
Embossed the strip with the Subtle Embossing Folder,
which I turned both ways ( a tip I saw), as it gives a more detailed look


I then added the stamped and die cut flowers, which I coloured with Stampin' Blends.
Some glittered enamel dots completed it.


Here's Flowering Blooms, I just love it. See earlier posts for more...

Take Care
Lesley
