Happy Birthday...

Good morning folks.

It's time for another challenge over on the Stamping Sensations Challenge blog.  The theme this month is "anything stamped goes".

We have a fabulous sponsor this month...

  Stix 2 are giving our lucky winner an assortment of mount foam, foil, glitter and various glues and tapes....goodies that never go wrong!

For my card I found inspiration on Pinterest, I stamped the letters on the solid colour first, then stamped with the outline....that was tricky lining these up but I think I managed.  I then stamped the happy and birthday overlapping the solid letters, I die cut the parcel and layered it on to the card. I made a couple of tassles using my fringe flower die...added some splashes, sequins to finish.

Merry Christmas...

Happy Saturday!

It's time for another challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge blog.  This month's theme is anything Christmas goes.

My card is kind of plain but it did take me a wee while to line the letters up...not sure if the card needs something else.  I stamped the letters with sea glass ink, I then decided it would be a good idea to stamp the M with an outline in black.  I then stamped the word Christmas in black and then finished with some sequins and dots.

Happy Birthday...

 

Good morning stampers!

It's birthday week over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge blog...the Sweet Stampin Challenge is 12 years old...how did that happen?

Well this wasn't really what I had in mind, I wanted to die cut different letters and have a layer on top but after playing about with my scan n cut....with the help of Cass, I gave up and went back to the dies!

So first I added some watercolours to the card and left it to dry, I then die cut the letters and stamped the outline over the top, didn't want the black line to be perfect (I deliberately did that lol) and added some sticky fixers, I then stamped some little flowers, stamped the birthday and finished with some dots and sequins.

Jingle all the way...

 

Hi folks

It's time for a mid month reminder of our Christmas in November theme over on the Stamping Sensations blog this month.  Our sponsor is Be Creative who are giveaway a £25 store voucher. In addition there's also a lovely die set up for grabs too.

I wanted to use this little Santa and then I had a brainwave that I would make Santa look like he's bursting through the wall...well that was the plan in my head!

I used a brick wall stencil from MFT and the Santa from the Jingle all the way set from MFT too.  I coloured the Santa with copics, added some white glitter to his beard and fur...finished with the usual sequins etc.

Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas...

 

Hi folks,

Well some news today, I have been asked to join the DT team over on the Stamping Sensations Blog which I am so chuffed about and here's my first card.  The theme is Christmas in November...how easy is that with Christmas fast approaching.

For my card I cut a piece of watercolour card and stamped the snowflake background with versamark ink and then white embossed it (love this technique).  I then randomly added some colour using watercolour ink and swooshed it around. Once it was dry I added a piece of washi tape in a contrasting colour, this is the first time I have used washi tape and I quite like it. I then stamped up some trees with coordinating ink and die cut them and layered them on top of the washi tape strip.  I stamped a coordinating sentiment from the same stamp set....and the usual sequins, gems and pearls to finish, hope you like it.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas...

 

Hi folks,

A wee mid week evening post from me.

I ordered this stamp and die set a few weeks ago and I must admit it is fab! I had a play about with it at the weekend and this is what I came up with.

I have a few of these turnabout stamps...once you get the knack of working out how to use them then they are great.  I also used various ink pads from Concord & 9th and added some little gems and sequins to finish.

Hope you like.
