Good evening everyone and a belated happy new year!!<br />
<br />
I have a card to share today that I made for my niece, who turned 9 today. I had great fun colouring up this Gorjuss stamp using my <a href="https://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/brands/spectrum-noir/spectrum-noir-illustrator.html">Illustrator Pens</a> from <a href="https://www.spectrumnoir.com/">Spectrum Noir</a>.<br />

After colouring the image I cut her out and stuck her onto my A5 card with some silicone glue. I used the <a href="https://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=diamond+press+die">Diamond Press</a> Fashion alphabet set and the <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/brands/sara-signature-collection/sara-signature-birthday-party/sara-signature-birthday-party-dies/birthday-party-metal-die-traditional-bunting.html">traditional bunting</a> die from Sara's Signature Birthday Party range.<br />
<br />
Here are a couple more close up pictures of the coloured image along with a list of the colours that i used.<br />

I just love these mandala patterns and could sit and colour them for hours...I did sit and colour them for hours! :0)<br /><br />I took a couple of bare wooden trays and painted them both with white gesso to start with. I then used a good wet glue (collall tacky glue) and stuck the pages to the base of the trays. To finish and protect the pages I added a layer of modpodge. <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6h2Ob5a6uQjLOs9geMTzliGslhwW-vJkDnRpwzx3FH6JHs_fAQPsi5EYTasDYzPD7tlWQDfEsJJR9c2NmhgO7UlCYjFGKB0tdT_01VsxZuAvEPKxFtZuFC-GTdgZpvADvt_SaovYiUiE8/s288/iphone_photo.jpg"><img border="0" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6h2Ob5a6uQjLOs9geMTzliGslhwW-vJkDnRpwzx3FH6JHs_fAQPsi5EYTasDYzPD7tlWQDfEsJJR9c2NmhgO7UlCYjFGKB0tdT_01VsxZuAvEPKxFtZuFC-GTdgZpvADvt_SaovYiUiE8/s288/iphone_photo.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="280" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0O_nMO0ekMDy_-pzUYZrjJlggKaqFQmcuDEHws8mzyjiBV1S7VUNSbaHpAJUOB4Wre7wVDC5tSzdDIGzJ318r20GB9kIw9Rha85vZgReagoqazrfa7qSOJjaM9yNlURGFNVfQuwjXLdEq/s288/iphone_photo.jpg"><img border="0" height="206" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0O_nMO0ekMDy_-pzUYZrjJlggKaqFQmcuDEHws8mzyjiBV1S7VUNSbaHpAJUOB4Wre7wVDC5tSzdDIGzJ318r20GB9kIw9Rha85vZgReagoqazrfa7qSOJjaM9yNlURGFNVfQuwjXLdEq/s288/iphone_photo.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="280" /></a><br /><br /><br />So so simple to make but amazing when finished!

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Today I would like to share a couple of cards with you. The first being a card created using a page from a A5 glitter pad, these are amazing and the glitter colours beautifully!</span><br />

Good evening all!! Well by now I'm sure most of you will of seen the pick of the week and all of the AMAZING sneak peeks that the rest of the teamies have been sharing with you. <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/">Crafter's Comapnion</a> have brought out a new range today from Rachelle Anne Miller. The lovely Dawn Wheeler launched the new range today on Create and Craft and it's been flying!!<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of samples that I made for the shows....apologies for the delay in sharing I have been busy ripping out my kitchen ready for a new one :0)<br />
<br />
The first card is using the CD 1 and using one of the toppers with the alphabet and also a sentiment featured on the Cd rom.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihUc6D_7KZdvowNTd0ribAQIwN_Xw502Ynw7hHccO9wrD_oFbxsLbekWY7wHmbCrOZxByeop1iZRfCadI8ll5ehZvFHKDiGB0vX7rBYB6aQtpU9uqDktTo5GT4W9JAVjjGJudZvjPBUjfq/s1600/IMG_6333.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihUc6D_7KZdvowNTd0ribAQIwN_Xw502Ynw7hHccO9wrD_oFbxsLbekWY7wHmbCrOZxByeop1iZRfCadI8ll5ehZvFHKDiGB0vX7rBYB6aQtpU9uqDktTo5GT4W9JAVjjGJudZvjPBUjfq/s1600/IMG_6333.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
The quality of the images is amazing as you would expect from the Crafter's Companion cd's, I printed the topper sheet onto <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/shop-by-brand-c2159/crafters-companion-c25/paper-and-card-c52/printable-card-and-paper-c73/neenah-classic-crest-card-pack-solar-white-p9523">neenah card</a>, along with the letters from the alphabet section from the cd which is great for personalising your cards. I added some distressed <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/shop-by-brand-c2159/crafters-companion-c25/paper-and-card-c52/card-c271/kraft-cardstock-a4-pack-of-50-p24959">kraft card</a> which i embossed using the new Embossalicious <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/shop-by-brand-c2159/embossalicious-c5909/a4-embossing-folders-c5916/everyday-c5917/crafters-companion-gothic-script-a4-embossalicious-embossing-folder-p25149">Gothic Script</a> embossing folder. I also rolled up some of the kraft card to look like a map as an extra embellishment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif0ghxy0GN_o_MuY1TtWK9BXEsPCtIpVr3EUt0ulF-thyphenhyphenQGUr23uaeFPf2G4SsPZ2_dVfP_OK0S-gQV_ZzpBev4muogvOPdUUcsaSA9ohznnv-uw1xgKtCOb17LskbwaIbZ-iq00AsxeFN/s1600/IMG_6332.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif0ghxy0GN_o_MuY1TtWK9BXEsPCtIpVr3EUt0ulF-thyphenhyphenQGUr23uaeFPf2G4SsPZ2_dVfP_OK0S-gQV_ZzpBev4muogvOPdUUcsaSA9ohznnv-uw1xgKtCOb17LskbwaIbZ-iq00AsxeFN/s1600/IMG_6332.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The next card is using the Giraffe stamp....it is soooo cute and definitely one of my faves!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZXYwQhrhTeyShLwMs4lHyZxmaHgV6oQmC6PgD9xfLEWF3CaH_xwMz5V0vsZpHmJ_PZYYGC4j9UkjVVBWVRXSCUf2QQ_5QtzQMHcIkb8hPIt9Tvfi8MlGsXUvYXlgJbKylgdbAK5J_gt63/s1600/IMG_6351.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZXYwQhrhTeyShLwMs4lHyZxmaHgV6oQmC6PgD9xfLEWF3CaH_xwMz5V0vsZpHmJ_PZYYGC4j9UkjVVBWVRXSCUf2QQ_5QtzQMHcIkb8hPIt9Tvfi8MlGsXUvYXlgJbKylgdbAK5J_gt63/s1600/IMG_6351.JPG" height="320" width="207" /></a></div>
The image is stamped onto <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/shop-by-brand-c2159/crafters-companion-c25/paper-and-card-c52/printable-card-and-paper-c73/neenah-classic-crest-card-pack-solar-white-p9523">neenah card</a> and coloured using both my <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/search/spectrum-noir">Spectrum Noir</a> pens and pencils. I used some paper from the CD rom 2 and also the flowers which are in the embellishment section of the cd.<br />

I started of by making the tag itself using some kraft card and the largest <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/shop-by-brand-c2159/diesire-c5894/decorative-dies-c5897/crafters-companion-diesire-decorative-die-scalloped-tags-p18820">Die'sire Scalloped Tag</a>. Next i added some frantage and wrapped some bakers twine around the tag.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I decorated the tag with the small <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/shop-by-brand-c2159/diesire-c5894/quilling-c5895/crafters-companion-rose-small-diesire-quilling-die-p19952">Die'sire rose quilling die</a>, Die'sire snowflakes, and small <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/papercraft-c2141/die-cutting-c349/diesire-c1994/christmas-dies-c2532/crafters-companion-diesire-dies-ivy-p22820">Die'sire Ivy</a> die. Finally I threaded some ribbon through the tag and added a bow.</div>

Hello!! I hope everyone has had a great weekend, I am here today to share a little gift that I made for a friend of mine, now I know that she has received it I can share it with you.<br />
<br />
As many of you know <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/">Crafter's Companion</a> released some new embossing boards recently and they are quite simply AMAZING!!. I have adapted the birdhouse on the <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/shop-by-brand-c2159/ultimate-pro-c6059/boards-c6063/crafters-companion-sweet-treats-ultimate-pro-embossing-board-sweet-things-p24727">Sweet Things Board</a> to become a Gingerbread House and here is what I came up with....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCxOKkT10kAiRbfAmIj3K5k5ne6ZzURq3Yzlr5vOQmUwLMQ5tErHmIPLd53B7Uldl1W8ANBh4gsah7lvs2mtBhyZmOs7h-MwyucNt_qbteZgezWdr_5kXL9J5UD4hlUgSPiexVlv8-y06f/s1600/photo+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCxOKkT10kAiRbfAmIj3K5k5ne6ZzURq3Yzlr5vOQmUwLMQ5tErHmIPLd53B7Uldl1W8ANBh4gsah7lvs2mtBhyZmOs7h-MwyucNt_qbteZgezWdr_5kXL9J5UD4hlUgSPiexVlv8-y06f/s320/photo+1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I used some kraft card stock to make the house itself, the board really does make it easy. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT6TCMYAx4KIRPJbdImMg5bBq6YqdEsra7VmCsCfdgW4ZA7yJupq8qr-V0ldkZo8RUDJUnUx6bBoDD1UuBIBP5aHw5I31cVh4VKGFzf565Pf-kWNlOltT5n5amdnt-bw0jcqj_EckRNknE/s1600/photo+4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT6TCMYAx4KIRPJbdImMg5bBq6YqdEsra7VmCsCfdgW4ZA7yJupq8qr-V0ldkZo8RUDJUnUx6bBoDD1UuBIBP5aHw5I31cVh4VKGFzf565Pf-kWNlOltT5n5amdnt-bw0jcqj_EckRNknE/s320/photo+4.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decorated the roof with crackle paint, diamond sparkles and some gems which I thought looked just like sweets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN3n-vokr9qtAcW3UBblcA9rK0p9ozAH3X0TfSAsBAdfD-MqS-BNUBkWgNukCNCzZ8ourgcKwAVfrYBaU4Tt2TZFnZp-KSrZ3ANmKhUsn7pfk3orIZCI5WA-xsXu8qmihfVOWwAL3LpN4E/s1600/photo+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN3n-vokr9qtAcW3UBblcA9rK0p9ozAH3X0TfSAsBAdfD-MqS-BNUBkWgNukCNCzZ8ourgcKwAVfrYBaU4Tt2TZFnZp-KSrZ3ANmKhUsn7pfk3orIZCI5WA-xsXu8qmihfVOWwAL3LpN4E/s320/photo+3.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also used the corresponding cd rom <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/shop-by-brand-c2159/ultimate-pro-c6059/cd-dvds-c6061/crafters-companion-sweet-treats-pdf-papercrafting-cd-rom-p24729">Sweet Treats</a> to print some backing paper and cut out these sweets which I also added some spray and sparkle to.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjASpTV7VfS_8s2gToBLjfupy5Dg8voFwSLTDlRTZ6nvZDWzTzYTW0HOGggFpJ1_RQIVHp8PQ-l3uKaz628LSpar9cw0CON3g0CulKO41OP_xdBGTn5U7D_Ckje8DWwbeAZr_IKn3dCM9b2/s1600/photo+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjASpTV7VfS_8s2gToBLjfupy5Dg8voFwSLTDlRTZ6nvZDWzTzYTW0HOGggFpJ1_RQIVHp8PQ-l3uKaz628LSpar9cw0CON3g0CulKO41OP_xdBGTn5U7D_Ckje8DWwbeAZr_IKn3dCM9b2/s320/photo+5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I glued some hook and loop tape to one side of the roof so it can be opened like a box and as you can see added a couple of sweet treats.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQbBducky1G1BBU-SivSSh7XatSM3W_UhbfprH4A1AAN_dFdx-G8AzCr-g_AOE2EXYdel6Clprbm8B_PuB6b23U3FjvSh3CfupN0PmD6ssQtlFXrmBdN_Qz2fbABOx0mfy-b2Ira6aSth0/s1600/photo+2+(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQbBducky1G1BBU-SivSSh7XatSM3W_UhbfprH4A1AAN_dFdx-G8AzCr-g_AOE2EXYdel6Clprbm8B_PuB6b23U3FjvSh3CfupN0PmD6ssQtlFXrmBdN_Qz2fbABOx0mfy-b2Ira6aSth0/s320/photo+2+(1).JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I trimmed the house and top of the roof with some bakers twine and made a base for the house to stand on. I finally finished it all off with some wadding and more diamond sparkles for the snow. I die cut some Die'sire <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/shop-by-brand-c2159/diesire-c5894/christmas-dies-c5898/crafters-companion-diesire-dies-fir-trees-p22814">Fir Trees</a> which I also decorated with the backing paper this time I used a small circle punch to make the sweets smaller. The cute little gingerbread man and sentiment are both freebie stamps which came with the latest <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/shop-by-brand-c2159/crafters-companion-c25/books-c3/crafters-companion-crafters-inspiration-issue-3-winter-edition-p24652">Crafter's Inspiration</a>.

The extremely talented Christine Haworth has produced yet more beautiful artwork and the time <a target="_blank" href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk">Crafter's Companion</a> have the Winter Faerie Poppets.<br /><br />This sample I used some scented bags which I picked up cheap from Asda. I printed three images from the fabric companion section of the cd rom and shrunk them right down.

I know it isn't to everyone's liking but I love it!!<br />Today I have a card to share using a new stamp that I brought from Katy Sue Designs and coloured with my trusty <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/papercraft-2141/colouring-5/pens-142/spectrum-noir-1423.html">Spectrum Noir Pens</a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvFZfWaQxPQUtxJnu4yS-b4RFRu1ryNAdyHn767XWBSpq8RhCiYBpEYQ45Kdx7LaToWrT6aLj2S0dCEbhyphenhyphennhlJS1HqFv9dcT6xyCaZAGej1Ll5-PdMnYUWXRx-85dDCpB66xihIdCBmajF/s1600/photo+2+(6).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvFZfWaQxPQUtxJnu4yS-b4RFRu1ryNAdyHn767XWBSpq8RhCiYBpEYQ45Kdx7LaToWrT6aLj2S0dCEbhyphenhyphennhlJS1HqFv9dcT6xyCaZAGej1Ll5-PdMnYUWXRx-85dDCpB66xihIdCBmajF/s320/photo+2+(6).JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />The stamp is from the Simpler Times range drawn by Elisabeth Bell and is called <a href="http://www.flower-soft.co.uk/Cart/EC-Selected-Product.php?ProductID=1933">Just a thought away</a> ....isn't it gorgeous!<br />To make the card I used some First Edition papers which was an 8x8 pad called Rose Garden, I brought this earlier this year at the NEC from the <a href="http://www.whichcraftuk.co.uk/">Which Craft</a> stall. The image was stamped onto some <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/shop-by-brand-2159/crafters-companion-25/paper-and-card-52/printable-card-and-paper-73/crafters-companion-neenah-classic-9523.htm">Neenah card</a> and as I mentioned earlier coloured with my <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/papercraft-2141/colouring-5/pens-142/spectrum-noir-1423/bundles-1697/crafters-companion-spectrum-14679.htm">Spectrum Noir pens.</a> The frame which the image is on is a die called Circle&Flower stitch by Marianne designs which you can by <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/papercraft-2141/die-cutting-349/marianne-design-2534/june-launch-2628/marianne-designs-design-craftables-22691.htm">here</a> you can also find the small flowers there as well.
