ATCs

I had a little bit of Creative Impressions paper left on my desk, so I thought I'd make a couple of ATCs, I used another of my swirl stamps and a couple of stckers from the same range as the paper. the edges were again distressed with inks.

Dog FB page

I have joined a Fat Book list on Craft Swap Forum, which involves making a dog page and a cat page. This is my dog page, I have used a couple of my own stamps, which are available from my website And the edges have been aged with distress ink.

Westie ATCs

The 3 x 3 ATC swap on Craft swap forum this month is dogs and cats........... i've used one of my own design dog stamps, and yet more of my backing papers. The dogs have been coloured in using Aquatone sticks, andthe ATCs have been finished off with peel offs.

Skinnies!

A friend gave me some skinny sized canvasses, awhile ago, so I thought I'd make some skinnies using my daffodil stamp........so here they are! The canvasses were coloured with distress inks and ancient page petal point pads. I also used a peel off to highlight the daffodil panel on one of them :)

Slim daffodil card

I'm feeling rather proud of myself......................I used a bit of ribbon!!! The thing is, while I see fabulous cards and things that people make using all sorts of embellishments, it seldom occurs to me to use any, despite having a craft room full of them! So I was quite proud of myself for having actually thought to use a bit of ribbon on this card! :)

Daffodil ATC

Today I have made an ATC, simply stamped and embossed with gold powder, then mounted onto gold card and peel offs added to the edges of the cream panel

Fat book page

Quite a simple one this time, pleased to have found a few minutes to play with my new stamps, this is another of them! I brayered the background and stamped the image with vintage sepia Versafine ink. The birds were added with a Marvy le plume pen. The edges were distressed with Walnut stain distress ink, and I drew a border with a copper Galaxy marker..........job done!

Another stamp, another card

Another one of my new stamps, with more of the backing papers.............simple matting and layering and peel offs.

Skinny canvas

A dear friend sent me some skinny canvasses, the other day, so I thought I'd make a skinny using one of my new stamps. I coloured the canvas using chalk ink pads, decorated it with some border and corner stickers and added the carnation which had been stamped in sepia and coloured using aquatones. I embossed the head of the flower with clear embossing powder, and finished the skinny off with a cardboard letter C, which was embossed with gold powder

Thankyou card

Yet another outing for the new rose stamp, along with another of Simon's fabulous backing papers. The rose head has been stamped onto red card and embossed with holographic embossing powder, and decoupaged onto the card using silicone glue. The rose stem and leaf were coloured using a clear stardust gelly roll pen. The card was finished off with a sentiment which was written on using a write'n'rub pen, and covered with tonetex glitter.

Another card

I've used my new rose stamp again on this card...........the head of the rose was stamped on red card, and embossed with holographic powder. The panel was then double mated and put onto a card which had been covered by a piece of background paper that Simon, from CSF has designed using another of my stamp designs.

Couple of cards

Made a superhuman effort to actually make some time for crafting yesterday, and made a couple of cards using one of my new stamps. Very simply made, with matting and layering and peel off edging. The rose was stamped on the green, and the stalk was coloured with aquatone pens. The head of the rose on the red card, was stamped on red card, cut out and adhered with silicone, then covered with glossy accents. The head of the rose on the other card was stamped on red silk card, embossed with clear powder, and highlighted with.......................believe it or not..........sparkly red nail varnish!!! I then wrote the greeting with a glue pen, and sprinkled it with red glitter.

Anniversary card

Been very busy recently, designing my new range of rubber stamps. Hopefully they will be available from my website very soon..........meanwhile I had a spare piccy of one of the new designs, and so I thought I'd put it to good use and make an anniversary card with it. Thanks for looking

Anything goes Challenge

This is my first ever twinchie, made for the Anything goes Challenge on CSF. I've used my own design stamps again, with some lovely K & Co backing paper and a bindi!

July tag swap

I've decided to join the July Tag swap on CSF........all three tags will be the same, so I've just blogged the first one. I have used a fab sheet of paper, (sorry can't remember whose it is!) The edges were distressed with distress ink, and then edged with a gold Adirondack acrylic dabber. The stamps are both my designs, stamped with olive green Stazon, and coloured in using Aquatone sticks. The lily was then cut out, and mounted on a spare piece of the background paper, and gold mirri card, before being attached to the tag.

Last Envelope!

At last, I've finally finished the last envelope that I had to make! I have again used one of my own design stamps. Thanks for looking :)

Another canvas

Well I've been busy doing another canvas.................haven't mastered the art of stamping onto them yet, so had to employ a bit of lateral thinking, as I made the bulrushes stamp especially for this project! I hope you like it.

Another Envelope

I have made another envelope, which I finished yesterday. I used some lovely paper from the Brenda Walton "Brookfield" range, and some lovely glittery butterfly border and corner stickers. I added the recipients name with Galaxy markers. For the Insert I also used some lovely 3d butterfly stickers, and then used my own design sunflower stamp, in 2 sizes, which I coloured with Aquatone sticks, and decoupaged.

Birthday card

I made this card for my very dear "virtual" twin sister, whose birthday is in a few days time. Unfortunately, having despatched it inside a parcel to her well over two weeks ago, there is still no sign of it arriving :( The card is made using some stunning papers and stickers from Creative Imaginations. I have also used my own stamp designs, some of which are on stampbord, and one of them is done with UTEE. There is also a butterfly that I have made using my stamp and fantasy fibres. The edges have all been distressed using distress ink pads. Good news, the parcel arrived, one month and 1one day after despatch!

Glittery butterfly ATCs

Well having had some free time, I decided to have a play making some ATCs. I had a lovely piece flower patterned material, which I used to cover some ATCs (the left overs were used as accents on other ATCs, waste not want not! :) ) I also used some Papermania and (I think) Basic grey papers to cover other ATCs. I edged the material with Adirondack acrylic dabber, drew some flowers on some with brush markers, highlighted with flat backed jewels. The ATCs were finished off with some of my own design butterflies, which were stamped onto acetate, and glittered on the reverse. These were attached using dst and sticky pads.



And yes I know there is some pink in here.............that's because I still have some friends who like pink..............there's no hope for some people I'm afraid! :)
