Afternoon again

Love it when it is raining and all my ironing etc is done for the day – I have been able to do a few more cards and sit and play!

I had to use the flash so the Rich Razzleberry looks a bit strange (it is a lovely colour normally!) and the card is white – and another fave in the Greenhouse Garden set – we will be using this set at Jo’s Stamping Extravagnaza on Sunday in Holt – can’t wait.  I just used the cottage wall papers and mounted a few of the stamped images on dots to give it more dimension, cut a circle in the RR cardstock after stamping the image a few times on white card.  I used the for you sentiment from Happy Moments and my new Tiny Tags stamp I got from Jo on Saturday.

Very wet out there, shame, might do some more cards!!…

I have been experimenting with Pocket Silhouettes for a couple of hours and have now been using Petals and Paisleys papers, still love them and I bought three sets off Jo!  I used Old Olive and Pixie Pink for the stamping on Apricot Appeal cardstock (love that colour with almost anything) and a few pearl gems from my stock.

The second one is using the same papers but with Pretty in Pink and Certainly Celery (don’t you just love the names they come up with!) for the stamping and I used mini beads just to highlight the flowers.

Take care…

Well, you know what I do on dull, cloudy days… 

I was only saying to Jo at our crop on Wednesday night in Ferndown that I hadn’t used the Pocket Silhouettes set after buying it months ago. So mainly using SU’s soft subtles I stamped the four flowers and used some of the yummy cottage papers, oval SU punches – so it is not a virgin set anymore!

I feel for the people on holiday here this week with this yucky weather, it is getting that we can’t trust August at all!  Well, September will probably be gorgeous… it was last year.

Take care…

Don’t need many excuses to create but when it is dull outside and cool, yeah hey!

I just love the Get Well Bear from LOTV, well any of their stamps as you know, and played with this one a bit as an easel card.  I stamped her on to pearl card and coloured with Promarkers, the paper is from My Minds Eye, I like their small printing for cards, mounted on to pink card, and same inside.  The Get Well Soon is an old Hero Arts stamp, the other is Stampin Up, brads, gems and some flowers from Papermania and Martha Stewart punch that I just cut to make corners. Hope you like it, I certainly have fun colouring in!

Take care…

I have made a card tonight for the LOTV Challenge, that being The Four Seasons and mine is for summer…

It is the first time I have entered any challenges and as I love Lily of the Valley stamps so much (have I said I want them all!) thought I would try my hand at this.

I used Nestabilities for the mount after colouring the lovely ‘window box’ bear with my Promarkers, the papers are old Hot Off The Press, a Martha Stewart punch for the boarder, leaf punch I bought at The Hobby House and flowers from my stash, a small amount of lime green organza ribbon, then with American Crafts jewel and pearl brads for the centres.

Take care…

Just had an hour to do some cards so wanted to use my new LOTV stamps, boy these are so cute – I want them all!!

They are both using Papermania papers and the first I decoupaged a little just to add some dimension, flowers from stash and papermania jewels for the centres, coloured in with Promarkers.

The second one I used more muted colours, and used my new set of punches from Martha Stewart from good old QVC.

Take care everyone…

Just got back from seeing the MIL in Shaftesbury, nice drive in the sunshine.

I just love love love the LOTV stamps, this one is going to be a firm fave too – they are just making them cuter and cuter.  The Xmas ones arrived too, can’t wait to get my hands on them!!

As usual these days, this is coloured with Promarkers and mounted on to papers from Papermania, love the muted colours, LOTV sentiment and buttons from stash – simple…  Hope you like her. Going shopping with my Mum and Sis now.

Take care.

Morning

I have been up since 5.30 this morning, aargh!  So finished a card I started last night at our lovely crop in Ferndown.  Just love this stamp, she is just so cute and haven’t stamped her in ages.  I cropped her on to card and used the corner punch from Martha Stewart, coloured in with Promarkers and used my new Papermania papers, old stash of flowers, buttons and gems and an LOTV sentiment, eh voila, easy little card.

I have been also finishing off five thank you cards for the girls  in my class at work and for the four students in our class who are leaving school today at 19 – we will miss them dreadfully…

Take care.

And lovely it is here too.  Had my hair cut at last so feel much much better…

This is a stamp I was thinking of putting in my selling pile, but thought I would give it a go again and must say, I do like it.

I have coloured her in with Promarkers mounted onto blue cardstock and used some new Jane Edwards ‘A warm welcome’ papers by Papermania, all earth tones and very nice. The sentiment is LOTV, flowers and buttons from my stash and the gems are again from Papermania.

Take care…

This is what I came up with!  I have had these Creative Expressions stamps for ages and have done nothing with them at all.  They came in a set of three, Beach Gals, Sunny Days and Tropical Flip Flops (which I have used stamped on shrink plastic and they were lovely).

I love this sunset stamp and I think it went well with the Beach Gals, the sign post and the airplane sentiment – all coloured in with promarkers and mounted on to bazzil card stock I got from DCWV again ages ago (it is amazing what you find when you move from one place to another and have to sort things out!!).

Take care…
