Stampin' Up! Way to Goat

Welcome back my crafty friends!  I have a couple of whimscal cards for you today featuring the super cute and fun Way to Goat stamp set and Stampin' Blends!  Before you say 'I don't like colouring' check out the cards below & and my how-to video where I'll be showing you how to colour like a pro!

This 'sheepish' little goat is so darn tootin' cute, and perhaps a little guilty!

I decided to 'mix' the blends to get a mottled look - you can see how it's done in my video below.

Yup....the cake is gone.  I love cute sentiments like this - so fun!

I used the same colour mixing for this image, but a bit less.  The edges of the DSP are torn to give a rustic look, and the Braided Linen Trim is quite random and unravelled at the ends all to show the old goat isn't concerned about getting older. 😊

how-to video

Both cards are quick & easy to make!  I hope you'll give our Stampin' Blends a try - you won't be disappointed!

Hello

Each day I'm seeing more and more buds on trees and life springing from gardens.  I love spring! To me it represents new beginnings.

My card today is a 'Hello' to spring.  I love the Pool Party cardstock I used for the base of the card and the layer.  It's such a fresh, pretty colour!  For the rest of the card, I die cut the images. Stampin' Up! dies are gorgeous!!  Sadly, the dies I used are all on the retiring list, but still available as of the last time I checked.  Read more about the dies in my Product List further down in this post.

Isn't the little bird sweet!  

Did you notice - no stamping on the card front.  I ran my dies through the Big Shot, adhered them, and added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels. 

This is the Big Shot - a card makers best friend.  I've had mine for a good five years.  In that time, I've replaced my toaster a few times and my kettle once.  However, my Big Shot, which is used more often than those two appliances, has never failed.  And I'm confident it won't - it is built to last.  Worth every penny!

  This is the product to add to your Starter Kit, and here's why: no shipping fee or tax!

  The Big Shot is $136, and with the Starter Kit, you get to choose up to $165 in products.  Buy the Big Shot, and you still have $29 to spend and again, no shipping fee or tax.  You have nothing to lose, and you never have to sell.  Just enjoy making beautiful cards with your Big Shot.

ps...if you've read this far, here's the reason why I have a top 9 rather than a top 10.  I thought I might say it's because I like to be different, not go with the flow, and so on. However, I confess, it's because I couldn't get another image to upload.  I'm not a techy....clearly...hahaha..
