Make A Wish

This is a very quick card I have had in my stash for a few weeks..I just came across the pic today....and it reminds me of why I LOVE crystal lacquers...you can't get the total effect from the photo..but the sheen and gloss you get when using them is yummy.:)

We have a fair next weekend in Malton which is in North Yorkshire so I am busy trying to get organised for that. I have taken to writing myself lists of things to do.to keep my head tidy..lol..lol..

..As the stamp says...Make A Wish....

If you had one wish..what would you wish for?

Effective Washes

I have been having a little play today....this stamp..Patchwork Made With Love is becoming one of our best selling stamps..and this card..which took me no longer than 10-15 mins to make shows how simply stamping the design and roughly colouring with watercolours gives a contemporary look which could easily be adapted using your own stamps.

Willow Framies

These Willow framies have proven very popular since we launched them so I thought I would share a little inspiration using them.

I can't tell you how EASY they are to use..already designed and coloured...life's a breeze..lol..lol..

This particular framie has been used as a party invite but could be adapted to...new home..across the miles..from our home to yours...any invitation...anything really...hope you enjoy the inspiration.x

Baby Cards

For those UK scrappers...........here is the example of a Christening card..but could be adapted for a baby shower card. The tile has been done on shrink plastic..put through the printer to achieve the text..stamped and coloured with chalks..then embossed using clear embossing powder. The background has been stamped on a vellum overlay and dry embossed.

Hope it gives you a little inspiration.

All Good Things Come In Small Packages.....

Here it is...I spent half an hour probably just deciding what I was going to make..lol..

Well it's my mums fault..she has been buying a Cricut machine..now she has bought..let me tell you...a paradise of collections so that's the hardest part really..just choosing something.

I have chosen a petal box..so it actually closes by interlocking petals together..before fixing together I have used the Crazy Daisy stamp and coloured with gel pens..simple..quick...and easy.

Guess what size it is..???mmhhh????no more than 2.5cmsq..adorable..I don't know what you would fit in it ...maybe a jelly babie..lol.

That was the smallest size..so I have a heart box to play with toworrow..

This is a view of the top..cute..

There are tiny little slits in the side

of the box that you could tie ribbon

or threads through and tie off in a bow......

I didn't have anything quite dainty

enough for this minature box.

Little Princess

This is todays crafty contribution which is made using this months stamp..Just For You...(reduced price until the end of March).

I bought a lovely new ink pad...

Brilliance..twilight..I think it gives a nice subtle look to your work and is a three coloured stamp..lavender..lilac..& pink..all pearlised.

And again..using the BLING to add interest..:)..i just lov em..

Going Cold Turkey

Yep....withdrawl symtoms are setting in.............I havn't created anything for a day...I was working yesterday at a craft fayre so I am limited to space to craft. I was however able to get some paintings done of my stamps..I am renewing all of my images on the website and that takes a bit of time which I usually don't have..so although I havn't got all of them done it's a step in the right direction. I am into colouring using H2O's at the moment and fine them a delight to work with as they aren't a flat solid colour...see if I can find something to show you...hold on....
there we go..the Perfect Present stamp..you can just make out how nice those paints shimmer..

Just For You ATC

After the disappointment of the mysterious waterfall card develops an ATC...well I had to create something today.

I have chose the Just For You stamp as it is March Stamp of The Month and at a reduced price for this month only.

Do you see those little brads?? (making memories) How sweet are they?..they came in a mixture of colours and sizes and add..well..a little bit of bling..lol

I will be getting wrong off Willowsmum...I have dabbled into our new papers for our next CD...after I tell her that she can't use them..lol..lol..

I think a little card to accompany this ATC would be adorable............

Waterfall Disaster

Well..it's goning to take me more than one attempt to perfect this technique..I thought I was going great until I found out I had stuck all the blumming squares on the wrong way...(tut..tut..)
I spent ages on it as well..oohhh how annoying, I have got my impatient head on..so it's no good ..time for a cuppa I think..

Freehand Card

Here it is ...my card made using the freehand designs I made. I am going to try my hand at a waterfall card today I think..wish me luck..
