Sweet Stampin's birthday!

Hello all, hope you're ready to celebrate, because today we're passing 'round the virtual cake, as Sweet Stampin' is 4 years old!

Even though it's not my week, most of us on team Fi decided to join in with the festivities, and make a card for this week's challenge which, perhaps unsurprisingly, is  "Cause for Celebration"

And here is my card for the occasion:



I used another LOTV stamp "Big Present" and coloured him to match some loose nautical papers I found hidden in my stash. I then die-cut said papers into hexagons using a Joanna Sheen die (one hexagon at a time! *sigh*) before sticking them down and adding faux stitching to them all.



The sentiment is from a "Craft UK" football set I won recently.

I just adore this stamp... He is totally shaking the box to see if he can figure out what's in it! (which is exactly what my son was doing yesterday too, lol)

So, before you run off to make some gorgeous celebratory makes for our challenge, be sure to go visit the rest of the DT to see their fantastic projects!

Oh, and there's the prizes, of course! This week, there's a fabulous £10 up for grabs from Bunny Zoe's


And of course there's the monthly sponsor, which is the Ribbon Girl, who are also offering £10


And there are several other prizes up for grabs, including Wild Orchid Crafts, Crafter's Companion, and a whole heap of goodies! So Whatever you do, make sure you enter this one!

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

This was obviously a labour of love with the hexagons but it was totally worth it - the background is stunning!
The image is so cute and it looks great with the box hanging over the edge of the main image panel :-)
Big hugs, Kat xx

This boy is one of my favorite LOTV images - he reminds me so of one of my nephews - they got the exact same hair style! I love the patchwork background you've made with nautical themed papers. Brilliant!
