Champagne Shoe

Hello to all my crafty pals, had a few quiet days so much so that yesterday I turned round and said I was bored, well that's not me at all even when I have had a grumbling headache for about a fortnight. So to make amends I thought maybe I'm missing playing with pink, this is on the redish side of pink. Thank you to all who enjoyed my card made with my spiky die, I think it may be a while until I find a more interesting one. However I did not want my old dies to sulk so I dug out some of my wooden dies and had a play. I hope the result brings a smile and I will potter around blogland as much as my head will allow. 
My card is a DL made with gold embossed card which was in the candy I won
 from the lovely Jayne at http://thecraftycavalier.blogspot.co.uk
and I also used some for my die cuts
Dies used : wooden shoe, champagne bottle  and Tophat & Cane.

  2. Gorgeous card Flora. I have to admit when I've not stamped anything for a while I start to get frustrated and bored too - you are not alone - hope you feel less bored soon. What are wooden dies? hugs Karen

    1. Hello Karen, The ones I have are the same thickness as the thick red plastic Sizzix dies, I bought some through e-bay when I first started crafting and the postage was a lot cheaper. The best part is that they will cut through very thick card. The cuts are fairly simple but I like that. The drawback is that it marks both your cutting plates so I keep an old bigshot plate for the purpose. The foam does sometime sink so then I just add a new piece of foam. Hope this helps. xx Flora
