Something Different

A pretty little box that Stamping Caz made, I nicked the measurements and here is mine.
Sorry the pictures are not very good.
I used a piece of A4 card, Penny Black Modesty stamp and stamping up ink Bashful Blue.

Popcorn times two

What a great day yesterday at Crafts u love 3rd Birthday.

I managed to shake off my pink curly tale (Swine Flu) I dont think I had it but everyone else did, it was just a bad cold.

I made a miraculous recovery just in time to go on a class or two with the talented Kim Piggott, I will show the cards later. I came away with some of the new Sarah Kay stamps and a few other bits.

Don't you just love the Popcorn the bear stamps and not forgetting little Souffle the duck. I decided to go back to reliable watercolour pencils. Fiskars punch border, Stamping up message with coordinating punches and Bo Bunny paper.

This was achieved by my lesson learnt with Kim, on distress inks and brushing them out with water to tone down shades. Watercolour paper, Basic grey paper, cardstock various shades of Tim Holtz distress inks used to get the brown for the bear as I could not decide which one to used I mixed them all together( frayed burlap, brushed corduroy and antique linen..... other colours used were mustard seed, spiced marmalade, shabby shutters. I aged the edge with the antique linen.

Martha Stewart the Jane Gill way..

What a fab day on Saturday with the lovely and V. clever Jane Gill. Two cards using the Martha Stewart punches. Punching in different ways to get stunning effects.

I have been asked for Kitty pictures.

Penny Black Challenge... week 55

Hi All, the Kittens are sleeping so I got to make a card in peace and quiet..... Shhhhh
I used the little hedgehog in the wellie boot, with doodlebug papers and card with ribbon and flowers from my stash. The design is Penny Black challenge 55

Lilly & Daisy

Ohhh no look who has come to live with me..........
I appologise in advance if my blog goes a bit slow but crafting with two too help is not that easy! I will try to keep up.

Can you make a card with this......

Dont we just love it when someone gives you something and Say's can you make a card with this!
It is sooo hard but I dont know why. Anyway here is what I achieved:

Good old Nesties labels....... then sat stuck with ideas for the background. It just so happened I had one of my new Tapestry sets on the table next to me (Cherry Blossom) and I thought I wonder if that would work and it did! I was relieved to say my friend was very pleased - Phew!

Why do us crafters bother sometimes!

I made this little book for a colleague at work only to be left on the desk in the envelope all day not even shown to anyone...........





Anyway I enjoyed making it shame it was not gratefully received. I used Bazil Bling, Think it was Bo Bunny paper although I am not sure. Sizzix Happy Birthday Die.

The shape was made with the Spellbinders labels die cut in several sizes.

The words were a Hero Art message stamp, with a flower and some bling.
