Merry Band

 

Back again to share another Christmas card I made this time using the lovely Hello Bluebird stamps 'Christmas is Coming'. I created a slimline card with a background of Distress Oxides which I splattered with shimmer paint. I added glitter card for the snow and also Crystal Sparkle pen for a sparkly finish.

My little characters were coloured with Spectrum Noir pens and also created a gift tag to match.

Hope you like it!

Here We go a Waddling

 Hi Everyone!

Just popping by to share a pop up card that I made using my Lawn Fawn 'Here We Go A Waddling' stamps and box card die.

I actually made three of these for three of my lovely crafty pals!

I added glitter card for the snow to add sparkle and shine, and the foiled snowflakes on the card stock add a bit of shimmer too. The images were coloured with my Spectrum Noirs.

Hope you like it!

Hunkydory Heaven

 Hi All!

Yesterday, Saturday 28th November, I was asked to be a guest on Crafter's Companion's 'Craft TV'. The show was called Craft House and was on between 4pm and 6pm. It was a lovely experience chatting about all things crafty with presenters Debby and Ben, focusing on the fabulous Hunkydory products that were on the show.

Below are some of the samples I made on and during the show. If you are thinking about trying out any of Hunkydory's products you will not be disappointed by their quality, ease of use, quantity of products in each collection and range of themes. I would definitely recommend them and have used them for years!

Woodland Friends

 Hi All!

I'm back with another post to share my makes using the wonderful Woodland Friends Collection from Crafter's Companion.

There are a lovely selection of stamps, dies and papers in this range and I enjoyed creating the little scenes on each project. I coloured the images with my Spectrum Noirs.

Hope you like them! 

Enchanted Woodland Milk Carton Gift Box

Time for Tea

 Back with another couple of cards that I made with Daisy Mae stamps and coloured with my Spectrum Noir markers. I created the background with a stencil and my Harmony Inks to give the effect of  a tablecloth and add little diecut doilies underneath the stamped images.

These cards are great for lots of occasions and are handy to have in your stash!

Snowman in a Teacup

 Hi All!

Just adding a few posts today as I've not been around for a while. First up are my Daisy Mae Snowman Cards. I loved making these. The stamp is such a fun image and I've now got three more cards in my stash!

I coloured these with Spectrum Noir Markers.

Perfect Poinsettia

 Afternoon All!

Just thought I'd share a little card that I made with the Daisy Mae Designs Poinsettia Stamp. I decided to make a shaped card and used my Gemini Nesting Scalloped Circle dies.

I coloured the image with my Spectrum Noir Classiques, fussy cut the images and then layered them up on a gold glitter card background. I coloured the card base with Harmony Honey Pot ink.

Hope you like it!

Sleepy Owl

 Hi Everyone!

Today I thought I'd share a couple of Christmas cards that I made with the Daisy Mae Designs stamp - Sleepy Owl. I love this little owl and I teamed him up with a branch from a Hello Bluebird stamp set. 

I have enjoyed colouring him in different colour schemes and used by Spectrum Noir Classiques, and the Harmony Inks to create the backgrounds.

Hope you like them!

Spring Blossom

 Hi Everyone!

Just thought I'd share a little card I made using a lovely bird in a nest stamp called Spring Blossom from Daisy Mae Designs.

I really enjoyed colouring this in soft colours with my Spectrum Noir Triblend Pens and teaming it up with some older Kaisercraft papers.

Hope you like it!

Merry Christmas Mice

 Afternoon Everyone!

Today I'm popping by to share a little make of mine using some lovely Hello Bluebird stamps - Merry Mice and O Christmas Tree. I decided to make a little Christmas Wall Hanging and a shaped card, using my Gemini Nesting Scalloped Square and Stitched Square dies. The background Card is Crafter's Companion's Snowy Christmas 8x8 Pad and I created the scenes with my Harmony Ink Pads.

I love all these little critters and enjoyed creating scenes with the stamps before colouring them in with my Spectrum Noir Triblends.

I hope you like my little makes :)

Bye for now...

Lambtech Layout

 HI All! 

Just popping on to share my L make for this week's challenge over at Use Your Craft Stash. I decided to go for L for Layout and created a little scrapbook page from a Hunkydory decopage Spring kit. The photo is of my 2nd Great Grand Uncle on the family farm 'Lambtech' up in Scotland. I used the decoupage in the kit to add a bit of a 3D element to the layout. I added all the family history details to the back of the page for future reference.

Hope you like it!

A Little Bit Tropical

Hi All!
Just popping along today to share my makes for the Use Your Craft Stash challenge - which this week is Anything Goes and the letters G and/or H.
I dug into my Graphic 45 papers again and found a couple of lovely sentiment  panels in the 'Lost in Paradise' collection - one says 'Happy Place' and the other 'Hello Sunshine' so I used those as my 'H' s.
I also love boxes and decided to use this dinky Gable Box die that I bought on Ebay a few years ago. I love this little die and have just bought myself the slightly larger Crafter's Companion Picnic Box die so will share my makes with that at some point. I made one with a Green background paper and one peachy one, then fussy cut all my images and arranged them around my sentiments, before finishing with a few Gems These are perfect for all those little prezzies that you want to make look a bit bigger lol!
Hope you like them :)
