VIDEO Loving Lace!

Hello Everyone

Today's video features my newest stamp - the I Love Lace background stamp. The detail in it is amazing - hard to capture on the video - but hopefully you can see a little more it in the picture below.

Enjoy the video :)  -(whoops - forgot to add the video - thanks for the reminder lovely ladies!)

Vintage Traveller

Hello Everyone

Today it is back to Traveller, (have I mentioned I like that stamp set? LOL), and I have gone all vintage. These stamps can be used in so many ways, but this is the most obvious one. I have combined them with some other vintagey Stampin' Up! stamps and really like how they came up…come and have a closer look...

For this one I started with the World Map background stamp - which really could have been made to match this set. It is stamped on to Crumb Cake cardstock and daubed with Soft Suede ink. I used a stamp image from Postage Due and finished the card with Neutral Candy Dots and Baked Brown Sugar thick twine, knotted at attached to the back of the layer with sticky strip.

For this one I used the World Map again and the Tag Topper Punch. The greeting comes from Something to Say - which has some lovely sentiments.

On the final one I used the Post Card background stamp and Postage Due for the stamps. The greetings are once again from something to say. Really the main instruction for these cards is - if it moves daub it - if it stays still daub it!

I hope you liked my vintage take on this stamp set. Which one do you like?

Gorgeous Grunge Post Card

Hello Everyone

Now after a very girly grunge card on Tuesday's video, I decided to share something not quite so feminine!

This one is uses not only the Gorgeous Grunge in Island Indigo, Smoky Slate and Coastal Cabana Ink, but also the Post Card stamp. I stamped it on Very Vanilla cardstock and then daubed the edges with Crumb Cake ink to give a vintage look.

The tag is from Chalk Talk, and comes bundled with the matching framelit, which I used to cut out the backing layer. I used the stamp from the Postage Due, punched out and daubed freely! LOL

I am really loving my Gorgeous Grunge stamps - have you got yours yet?

Man card gets wheels!

Hello Everyone

Today's card features two cycles. The one on the tag is is from Postage Due and the penny farthing is from the Feeling Sentimental and I thought they would make a great 'man card'.

I used some DSP including the woodgrain paper from the Natural Composition Speciality Designer Series Paper. I sponged it with Soft Sude ink to make the embossed areas pop.

To make the tag I cut Not Quite Navy cardstock with one of the Apothecary Labels dies, snipping off one of the rounded ends. I then cut a larger piece of card in Naturals Ivory cardstock, then cut a circle with my 1 3/8" punch. I layered these behind the Navy layer and punched through to create the tag.

I finished with Stiched Satin and Seam Binding ribbon, tied with Island Indigo Bakers Twine.

Hope you like this card. Back on Tuesday with another video.

Prize Winning Grunge!

Hello Everyone

Anyone who knows me, knows I don't really 'do' grunge - but I knew I had to get grungy when my upline Amanda set a challenge to decorate one of the Kraft Gift Boxes.


These boxes are available in our big catalogue and come looking very clean. LOL! You can stamp them, (they come flat), you can cover them in DSP, or you can ink them with sponges. Guess what I did?

I used the stamp sets Daring Adventure, Postage Due and Clockworks to decorate it. Everything is stamped and inked using Early Espresso ink. I made a belly band and finshed my project with Bakers Twine and a pin and brad from the Vintage Trinkets.

I was delighted to win the prize for best box at Amanda's team training night - up against some beautiful creations.

So want to see what the box looked like first? Check page 161 in the catalogue - you get 4 boxes for £2.75.
