Back to School... Almost!

Hi everyone! Last post before my Christmas break ends and I go back to class tomorrow!

I have a couple of cards to share with you today. I've found out that I was down to my last white cardstock O_O It was a bit of a shock, so I'm trying to use up as much Vintage Cream as possible in the meantime. I don't think I'm quite ready to make another cardstock order yet (though I'd love to right now!).

I've gone back to my pastel tones so Melon Berry and Spring Moss it is! :)

I think this is the first card I'm sharing with you using my new Parisian Lace Doily die. It's great, other than the fact that punching out the holes takes forever! I'm seriously thinking I might want that Punch Out tool!!!
  

  

 The next card is using Modern Wood Mats stamp set. Everything's green here. I love green on white/cream! It has such a soothing, calm look about it. I topped it off with some Turning a New Leaf die cuts and Simply Chartreuse saddle stitch ribbon.
  

And I have to say, I love the Diamonds Impression Plate <3 It's going on just about all my projects at the moment.

  

That's it for today. Thanks for coming and visiting! I'll have more up soon. Have a fantastic day!

I thought I'd share a couple more cards today using my new goodies! :)

 

The more and more cards I make, the more I realise the need for several ink colours!!! I've been holding out on the chocolate one (waiting for the new PTI one to come out) and I seriously need to get some Melon Berry, Berry Sorbet, Summer Sunrise shades! Hoping they're all released soon so I can order with more cardstock (I'm down to my last sheet of Rustic Cream and not much white left either T_T).

    

Anyway, let's get onto some cute cards, shall we?

 

The first one's the Winter Penguin card. I love that little fella! Such a cute wee penguin. And how great is it that we have penguins in New Zealand (yes! on our shores!!!). Unfortunately it's the middle of summer so I had to drop the "winter" bit out of the "Winter Penguin" set lol

 

I had to do a bit of set collage with this card. Melon Berry mat was impressed with Diamonds impression plate. I stamped the penguin from Winter Penguins, cupcake from Tag-Its #10, and the hat from My Cute Stamp's Spaceships and Robots set!!! It's a bit of a mix n' match, but I'm loving the combination!

     

The next card uses Tiny Tags II. I got the idea (pretty much copied, more like) of making a background using the Tiny Tags from Nichole Heady's card. Then I topped it with Tag-Its #10 and Pure Poppy ribbon.

    

    

And no, I didn't mist anything today! Haha.

Anyway, thank you all for coming by. Hope you all have a fab New Years Day with many joys and blessings in the year ahead :)
