Good morning
Today's card is another I made using up odd bits that were lying around when I tidied my desk
The 'needs using up' bits were the embossed bird, which is from a Dimension Stamps set, the punched edge strip, and the decorative motif die cut which was left over because it was the aperture that I wanted at the time.
So to put it together I used a music stamp from Clarity to stamp a background piece and a Lili of the Valley sentiment stamp.
Hope you like it!
Good morning!
Another Scheduled post I'm afraid, it just seems easier for me to do a couple when I have the time/energy/brainpower..
Well if all goes to plan, Tom and I are on create and craft today, check schedule for time. The new designs are really varied and I thought I would do something slightly different than what I usually do for a demo...
Sneak peek?
Good morning
I'm still catching up with stuff I didn't show you when I was AWOL...
This one is a quick 8x8 card I made for a young friends birthday.
It was simply a case of mopping up some ink splodges, stamping the Leafy Swirl and highlighting with white.
Then I used my letterbox kit to make the name tiles, the letters are not that clear in pic because the glue is still wet under the dewdrops.
Thanks for stopping by, stay safe and warm wherever you are.
Good Morning!
Today's card is using the little Haberdasher mini set from Claritystamp, together with the large Tailor Dummy and Tape Measure...
I used a ghost brayering technique for the background.I used some Papermania paper to paper piece.
The little coat hanger is from Tim Holtz.
Thanks for stopping by.
Good Morning!
Today's card is one of the demos I had planned for the Splodge Away shows on tv last week, but we ran out of stock for the first show and ran out of time on the second.
Usually the unused demos don't see light of day until about 6 months later when they eventually get slung, but I thought I would make this one for a change.
The sentiment is a Claritystamp, the card stock is Centura Pearl from Crafters Companion.
Hope you like it!
Good morning again, see, I am trying to get things regular again, I'm trying to photograph and then schedule things straight away, the only down side is this, yesterday I scheduled some posts to show magazine stuff, now it has to go live in March because that's when the mag is on the shelves,you still with me? So, if I'm writing blog posts for March how do I know what the weather is like or how busy I am or what I'm up to-it hasn't happened yet! See what I mean?
Anyway, this one is 2 days in advance so I can safely say I'm mad busy with prep for Saturdays class and another magazine deadline!
Enough waffle, here is the project...
This started as a reject from a class, a lady had started well and then it went downhill so I gave her a fresh mirror and threw this in the corner to sand down and use again.
I used some lovely Claritystamps and a Splodge Away mask.
I achieved the texture with some Ferro that Rae Dalal brought with her to play with one day, the lovely chalky paints were hers too.
I'm still not sure it's finished, maybe some lace or beads....
Thanks for stopping by!
Good morning,actually it's not! It's tea time and I'm sat in Lookers waiting for my car zzzzzzzz
So I thought I would take advantage of their wifi and schedule a blog post.
Here is another card you should have seen ages ago...
This one is using one of the new Clarity re usable masks, my fave text and Madam de something or other, yes that's right I forgot her name,sorry Barb....
The masks are totally cool, so detailed and you can get into all the nooks and crannys.
Thanks for stopping by!
Is it a bit too late to say Happy New Year?
Well it's been a while hasn't it, but I'm here now, hopefully free of nasty germs!
This is one of the Clarity cards I should have shown you last month
I used the new postage stamp set and combined it with the Butterfly Montage.
I coloured with Distress marker and stamped with Dusty Concorde and...I'm racking my brain, I think it might be weathered Wood.
I also used the faux letterpress technique with an embossing folder from Couture.
Hope you like it.
Morning!
Christmas Eve already, how did that happen?
Anyway I hope your all organised and not running around like headless chickens, I bet you are though so you will be too busy to look at my bloggy.
Just on the off chance though here is a card
ThisIs another one made using the Molly Bloom kit, I coloured with copics.
I don't think this one looks Christmassy though, so could be used for a birthday, what do you think?
Thanks for taking the time to stop by!
Good morning, actually it's 11.15pm last night!
I thought I would do something constructive while in a phone queue,it's only been 1 hour 23 mins so far,yes really..
So before I start ranting about phone networks here's a card
Quite appropriate, I may be 100 before I get to speak to a customer service chappy..
I used a cool swirly balloon, miniature corner, and my beloved letterbox kit, all from Claritystamp.
Ink used was Shaded Lilac
Balloons are decoupaged, not sure if you will see it in picture.
I got to tell you this, the 'on hold' music is a repeating loop and it keeps playing 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger' are they trying to be funny!!! Lol
Have a good one!
Good morning!
Hope you are all well, and not having too many problems with the rain...
Actually, is rain the least of our worries? Is today the last day?
I remember sitting in Mr Rogers English class in 1980 and debating the end of the world that was going to happen in 1984, my first thought was 'oh well it's ages away anyway' but when 84 came around I was very uneasy, especially because the nuclear threat from Russia was quite real at the time,it was a scary time so I hope I have managed to put Stevie and Amber's minds at ease a little so they don't feel the fear I did as a teenager.
Maybe we should start a 'nice' rumour and see if that spreads as quickly as the doom and gloom, in the meantime here is a card to take your mind off it...
This is one I made for my good friend and neighbour Julie and her family, she is Aunty Julie to the bunnies and fishies when I'm away.
I cut an aperture using a spellbinder, Venetian I think, backed it with black, added a white circle and punched snowflake. The stamps are from Claritystamp of course.
Hope you like it!
Good afternoon, yes not morning!
I was all revved ready for going out and finally braving the Christmas shopping madness, and then spotted the boy bunnies are still playing out in the garden,so while I wait for them to go back into their house I thought I would blog.
You may have noticed the little error with the same card being posted in the last few days,blogger hid the original post so I thought it was gone and did another via the blogsy app,doh!
This is an 8x8 using the lovely big Clarity Corner and floral set, this was for tv but all my cards must have been toward the bottom of the piles coz none of them were shown on the Sunday, sob!
You know how I like my mono cards...
I stamped in Raison and coloured with a Promarker, then edged with cranberry.
The sentiment is also a Claritystamp.
Hope you like it!
Right I'm gonna be a wicked ole mum and lock Sam and Jakey up safe so I can go out and spend some money.
Good morning
This is another inky card made for the German Clarity tv shows
This one is for Birthdays
I used Weathered Wood, Squeezed Lemon, honey Distress inks edged in Black Soot.
The other stamps are the Floribunda and the little swirl from the numbers classroom set.
Not my usual colours but i thought i would have a change
Hope you like it
Morning!
Cold again isn't it..I wish I had done all my Christmas shopping early now,I could have just hibernated for December.
I think I may have brain freeze because I can't remember what the text means...maybe happy birthday?
Anyway, it's a Clarity text set, I also used my Floribundas stamp and a little swirl from the numbers set.
Not my usual colours but I quite like them, I used Weathered Wood and mustard seed distress inks.
Thanks for stopping by!
Good morning,hope your all keeping warm.
Today's card is a quick and easy...
I used the Sprucescape, log cabin and Joy to the World, all from Claritystamp, oh and the little snowflake.
Ink used was Stormy Sky distress ink, finished off with a little glitter.
This will be one of my batch designs I think.
Thanks for stopping by

Good morning, another scheduled post today, I did a batch while I remembered how to use blogsy app...
Something a little different today, apologies for pics, it was dark.
This is one of the cards I made using the Molly Bloom Christmas Carnival kit.
I just added some additional card stock.
I coloured with Copics, it was nice to get them out and dust them off!
Thanks for stopping by.

Good morning, chilly isn't it!
