A brand new range to Crafters Comanion...

As I type this we are just 45 minutes away from the lovely Leann Chivers launching a brand new range of stamps from Crafters Comapnion by Stamp it. I am here tonight to share one of the cards that I made...


I will be honest I have never made an oriental card before but have really enjoyed using these stamps. I stamped onto Neenah card and coloured the image using my spectrum noir pens. I love the turquoise and red combo and will certainly be using that again. I cut a frame using a diesire frame and added some die cut flowers along with some coredination card and just kept it quite simple.



Right I'm off to get ready to tune into Create and Craft for the 8.00pm show with Leann, don't miss it!

A Blooming A-May-Zing sneek peek

Good evening everyone I hope you are all managing to keep warm I have been so cold all day, so I am now wrapped up all cosy with my handmade knitted blanket I must remember to share a pic of it. It was knitted by my Nan, Gramp, Mum and Aunty... I love it! Something to treasure :0)

So tonight I have a sneak peek of the lovely Nigel May's latest Cd....Blooming A-May-Zing it is gorgeous filled with stunning images and papers.

Here is a couple of pics




How gorgeous is this image!?! This was one of my more simple cards simply printed from the shaped card section, before cutting out I put my card through the printer on the opposite side a printed a backing paper. The sentiment and butterflies are from a embellishment page.



This is one of the card companions which as always are great. The colours on the cd are beautiful. I LOVE the lilies!!!!


So this cd is being launched at this years cha and will be shown live on Create and Craft tomorrow, I can't wait to watch.

Before I will go I will leave you with a sneak peek of another sneak peek......ooooh what a tease lol



I will be back soon with LOTS more pics of this make :0)

A card with a little decoration gift

Good evening, I hope you are well. I have another set of samples to share tonight this time a card with a little gift and box to match. I used Sheena Douglass' Faith stamp from the Little bit sketchy range. And here is what a came up with.



I coloured the image with my Spectrum noir pens. I embossed some Core'dinations card and used a couple of my Die'sire dies to decorate. Here is another pic of the image.



I then made a little hanging ornament to match....



Apologies for the pics I just couldn't get a good one. I stamped a mirror image of the bird by inking my stamp rolling my brayer over the top and then transferring onto Neenah card that way I had an image front and back. I sandwiched some fishing line between the two birds and added some beads and attached to a cone. Here's another dodgy pic lol



Last of all I made a box to put it in.



I hope you like and thank you for stopping by today :0)

A little bit sketchy

Happy Sunday everyone!! I am back today to share a card I was asked to make as a sample. This time using one of Sheena Douglass'Little Bit Sketchy stamps. I decided to make my own blended background again with my Spectrum noir pens this time I used Neenah card. Here's what I came up with.



The stamp is called Lakeside shore. Before I coloured my background I made a mask for the moon... and then set to colouring, this is how i was left with the white of the moon. I stamped onto my background with versamark and used a black embossing powder. Here is another pic.



I am quite pleased with the result.
I have lots of ideas for my neglected silhouette stamps now.

Thanks for stopping by.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Good evening everyone, I hope you have all had a lovely christmas and enjoyed the holiday. I had a great time with family and friends. Now it's time to get back to normal and get back into some sort of routine (easier said than done lol).

Today I have a couple of makes to share with you using one of the Darice embossing folders. The lovely Louisa McLean has been showing the folders on Create and Craft today. The first thing I have made is a box.



I embossed four panels for the sides and added gems to the centres of the flowers. Here is a close up of one of the panels.


I used Core'diantions Elements pad which work perfectly with the embossing folders :0)

My next make is a card and this time I tried something different. I used some Centura Pearlcard and my Spectrum Noir Pens and created a blended background. After using the same embossing folder as before this is what I created.



I was really pleased with the result and will definitely be making more very quick and simple but very effective. Here is a close up.



Thank you for stopping by today will be back tomorrow with more makes to share.

Bye for now, hugs

Peek-a-boo

Well hello!! I hope you are all well? Christmas is fast approaching and the panic is just starting to set in lol. Yesterday was my nephews 3rd birthday and I knew straight what sort of card I wanted to make for him!! Whilst at Craftaganza the lovely Sara Davies taught us how to make a peek-a-boo card. So using my Toread Cd Rom I printed some backing papers and a sheet from the toppers section and set to making the card....

The outside....



....the inside








I loved making the card and will definitely be making more, if you fancy giving it a go yourself there is a fab tutorial by the brilliant Pam Leng. I'm not gonna lie my sister-in-law had more enjoyment from the card than Joel lol he was far too excited with the presents haha!! ;0)

Thanks for stopping by today

Bye for now
