Santa

Hello.

I couldn't resist the adorable Nitwit stamp set which came with the latest Simply Homemade magazine. The Santa from that set was used for this card. Santa's candy cane has star dust Stickles between each stripe. The paper he is backed on is from a collection designed by Beth Gunnell. The snowflake and sentiment are both from a Polka Doodles set. All the papers on this card have silver ink along the edges, although the picture is only showing it on the patterned paper.

Ladybird/bug

Hello.

I've always known them as ladybirds, but I know most people reading my blog will know them better as ladybugs so I wasn't sure what to title this post. Either way this one is cute, it's from a Nitwit set which came with Simply Homemade magazine. I paper pieced it using four papers from DCWV's 'The Sweet Stack'. The flowers around the edge were given to me by my Mum a while back, I'm not sure what company they are from.
