Sunday Lovin’…. hot, hot hot!!

summer things loving hot weather

The weather is going to be super hot in the UK in the next few days. Those of you from overseas may not find it too bad, but we don’t really have air con here, and aren’t really used to the heat!

Luckily, I live by the sea so it’s nice to paddle in the waves by the beach as a means of cooling down. But sometimes that just isn’t enough! Today it wasn’t super hot here, but everyone still wanted to cool down!

Here are a few things I’m loving inspired by the hot weather this weekend…

Embroidery class at SUPER+SUPER Brighton

learning embroidery super super brighton

Aside from papercrafts and baking, I also love to sew. Up until now all I could really do though was cross stitch and although I enjoy it and am good at it, learning something new is always good!

Make: A Simple Card

It was a family birthday yesterday, so at the weekend I created this quick card. I used a square kraft card by Woodware, purple washi tape, flowery deco tape, and Stampin Up card. The cake and candle stamps are from Studio Calico, and the sentiment and punch used to cut it are both Stampin Up also. I used a fine glue pen to stick the super fine glitter to the cupcake case and candle flame.
I hope that you like it!

Sunday Lovin’ – My Silhouette Cameo picks

I love my Silhouette Cameo, and think that the Silhouette Store is pretty darned awesome! I was looking through the newest designs (I usually do this every week) and thought I’d share some of my current favourites on my ‘wish list’ with you!

Silhouette have just released a fabric cutting blade*, which I cannot wait to get – I hope that it’ll help me to get more into sewing by pre-cutting the fabric and then all I will need to do is learn how to use my sewing machine! I love the fox and owl sewing patterns 🙂

You can download some svg, gsd and dxf files for free from Daniela Angelova’s blog, but she also has some awesome files in the Silhouette Store, my favourites are:
