Morning!
I was looking through pics to blog and realised I had another of the budget cards is did for Creative Cardmaking...
Just realised I didn't crop the pic, oh well..
So the charity shop stuff I used was the book pages and buttons, combined with gold embossing paste and my Clarity Poppy stencil, Wordchain and a bit of ink!
Thanks for stopping by!
I used that lush Paperartsy Chatsworth paper again.
Book pages to cover a tailors dummy cut with my Timmy sewing room die, I inked the edges lightly with Picked Raspberry ink.
An old zip, the colour of the bag of zips determined the colour scheme for the cards.
The tape measure was cut from Marion Smith paper.
Some lovely flowers from Sweet Lilac, and all finished off with a nice swirly happy birthday sentiment from Claritystamp.
Ok that's it from me today, I must finishe prep for my class this evening.
Thanks for stopping by!
Late on parade again, oops.
I'm here now though, and I said id show you another card from the budget challenge I did for Creative Cardmaking...
This one is a shaker card using some more book pages and some seed beads that were in the bargain basket.
I also used my brick wall Claritystencil with some Picked Raspberry ink, and a couple of elements from a piece of Marion Smith scrapbook paper.
This one is a little different from my usual preferred style but it fitted nicely with the other cards in the set.
I'll show you one more tomorrow if you pop back.
Have a good evening whatever you're doing!
I made this one for Creative Cardmaking, the theme was Stencils and the colour pallet included shades of red, turquoise, sandy beige.
I used
my treasured trellis cutter from Tonic,
Filigree Flower stamps and stencil from Claritystamp,
I think I used Adirondack inks, Stream, Aged Mahogany, Sandal.
There are a couple of other designs in this mag feature, I'll show you those soon.
Thanks so much for popping in, I really appreciate it.
Tomorrow I will blog another telly sample from yesterday with Barb.
Morning!
Today's project is one I did for Creative Cardmaking quite a while ago.
I used an mdf frame, some chalk paints and crackle from Paperartsy. Paper from Teresa Collins and a few flowers from Sweet Lilac.
Hope you like it, I love altering stuff!
Good afternoon!
Start of another busy week prepping for classes, tv and retail shows. I still can't show most of what I've been creating recently, but I can give you a tiny preview of another magazine piece...
This is one of the cards I did for Creative Cardmaking 59, on sale now.
The theme was creating Christmas using non-Christmas stash.
If you like this one and would like to know more about it or the other cards in the set, go grab a copy of the magazine from either your local craft shop or online at Cutting Edge Crafts.
Thanks for stopping by, come back soon when hopefully I will have time/energy to give you all the latest Clarity goss!
Good morning, I hope!
This is a scheduled post...
I sometimes forget to show you magazine stuff because quite a long time passes between making the projects and being published, so I thought I would try scheduling them in advance.
This is one of 4 Gelli plate cards made for Creative Cardmaking.
Hope you like it! Have a good Saturday.
Evening, yes I'm late on parade today, I've been to the zoo.
I did remember though, I said I would show you the other cards in this series...
So here they are.
The top one was made with a piece of foam cut randomly then die cut to remove a heart.
I also used a Clarity sentiment.
Below was made with the heart cut from the other piece of foam, I used a bit of stamp kissing on that one with my small Leafy Swirl from Clarity.
It was a fun assignment to do, but I still needed my beloved Claritystamps too!
So what do you think?
Good Morning
Back to work for lots of you, short week though if your an 'office hours' person.
I'm gonna be busy prepping a class today, no slacking allowed otherwise I can't go to the zoo tomorrow.
I still have a few bits I haven't shown you, this is part of a set I did for Creative Cardmaking a while ago
The theme was make your own stamps..
For this one I made a background stamp with Dewdrops.
For this one I die cut the music notes from foam
And for this one I used string glued to a wooden block
I thought these 3 were ok for teenagers, tomorrow I will show you the other 3 in the set.
Thanks for stopping by!
Good Morning
I was looking through the piccy albums on my iPad and I came across a handful that I don't remember showing you..
But apologies if I have already.
This is a set I did for Creative Stamping ages ago using the free stamps.
I had to make three pieces that could include a small gift, using UTEE.
Pair of earrings....
The photography isn't great....sorry.
Handbag charm.
The paper is from Prima but I can't remember what it's called.
Hope you like them.
Enjoy your Bank Holiday Monday whatever your doing!
Good Morning!
I'm busy finishing some magazine cards and i realised that I have a feature published this week...
I have done a variety of designs for Creative Stamping using some of the new Clarity designs.
There you are, quick preview!
Creative Stamping is available this week from your local craft shop or online from Cutting Edge Crafts.
Back to work I go, lots to do.
Thanks for stopping by.
Good morning!
As promised here is another of the cards I did for Creative Stamping 10 using the free stamps
More of the Canary's sandpaper used here..
I used white acrylic paint on the back of the film for the pale bits to make it stand out more.
Then decoupaged the huts.
Thanks or stopping by!
Mornin!
Today's card is part of a magazine piece for Creative Stamping issue 10
The theme was film/fibres using the free stamps that come with the magazine.
I 'borrowed' some of Quaver birdy's sandpaper for these cards, poor little guy had to put up with newspaper in the bottom of his cage instead.
Come back soon or another in the set.
Have a good one.
Good morning!
Have you got snow? We have a few inches in Birmingham.
Just a quick post while I'm waiting for Dave to come back or me,Barb,Jayne and Heather are already on way to NEC for day 3.
This is another card using Plaster of Paris for texture..
For this one I used plaster bandage for a texture panel and to make the roses.
I'm guessing you know the sentiment is a Clarity, I do use this one a lot I know...
Hope you like it.
Stay warm and safe and if your oming the NEC then one see us at stand A12, we have loads of offers and Barbara is playing with the Gelli Plate...
Mornin!
Just a quick post because I'm off out, no work involved but I will be stopping by a craft shop.
I thought I would show you this...
These are the projects I have in Creative Stamping issue 9, on sale now, do you like? I used the stamps that come free with the mag, so go and grab a copy before they all go.
I will show you them individually in he next couple of days so you can see close up.
I'm off to put my lippy on ready to go out, have a good Saturday.
Good morning, it's time for the final card in the handmade paper series..
Another simple one.
I ended up with a couple of odd pieces of paper when I ripped a piece making it,
so I thought I would use it as it was.
I scored it with my hoagie, added some leaves and flowers and a banner.
The sentiment is part of a Claritystamp masked off.
I hope you liked the cards,they were fun to make even though the paper making was messy!
Hello!
Weekend is nearly here, I will be working...ok,so I get paid for indulging in what I love but the driving and packing counts as work doesn't it!
Time for card number 3 in the handmade paper cards I made for Creative Cardmaking.
For this one I used a bit of all the papers I made added with a bit of Kraft. I wanted to keep these cards simple, the focus was supposed to be the paper after all.
The sentiment is a Claritystamp,this is one of the ones that stays on the rack in front of my desk, never gets put away!
Have a good day even if your not doing what you love...
Good morning!
Today's card is one of a series I did for Creative Cardmaking issue 51, it's on the shelves now!
The theme was handmade paper from scraps.
For this one I added some Lavender pods to the paper for texture and left the edges raggy.
I coloured with a little red mica spray in the water while I made the paper.
The sentiment is from lili of the valley, swirl is a cheery Lynn die.
Hope you like it!
