Play Day.....

I've had a lovely day stamping with my friend Val W.
We did a lot of chatting but also managed to complete 2 projects, one being a Watering Can which you can find the tutorial for on Splitcoast Stampers, and also a Christmas gift bag which I made from bags given to me by the lovely Jenny Moors, thank you Jenny.
The bags made are for children but if making them for 'grown ups' you can really go to town and put lots of glitz and sparkle on. The stamp set used on both these project is SU Season of Joy, all SU card and designer papers have also been used and of course SU oval punches! Cuttlebug flower dies. We also made a Christmas 'Peek a Boo' card but I need to complete that.

Val's Birthday card.......

I can now post Val's birthday card that I made for her as her birthday was yesterday.....I used SU A Rose is a Rose set on this card, stamped the roses which are double stamped onto cream card using SU More Mustard and So Saffron and for the leaves Olive Olive & Always Artichoke. Nestability scallop die and oval die used. The sentiment is from SU 'Best Yet' stamp set. Martha Stewart Valentine Heart border bunch, Backing paper and pearls from stash.

Penny Black challenge.....

Haven't been a good blogger lately as I have been very busy but managed to do this weeks Penny Black challenge which is called Winter Wonderland....this stamp is called Snowy & Hedgy, backing papers are called Snowy Days by Pebbles Inc. Image has been water coloured and also glittered. Fiskars snowflake border/embosse punch, the 'friend to friend' senitment is from SU Pocket Silhouettes set, SU window punch. Ribbon is also SU.

Penny Black Challenge......

This weeks Penny Black challenge is called 'Christmas for the Guys' so have used PB 'Fetching Slippers' image....as so many men usually end up getting slippers for Christmas!
Watercoloured the image using pencils ,the backing paper is called 'Holiday Joy Ornaments', Cuttblebug Snowflake Die, Martha Stewart Arch border punch, SU photo corner punch, craftwork Cards card candy, Nestailities, ribbon from stash.

Thank you.....

This post is a little late as I have had problems with my PC but better late than never.
Last Wednesday night we had the lovely Jenny Moors from Stampin Up at our craft club, we had a great night. Jenny bought some wonderful cards and boxes to show us and while half of the ladies were watching Jenny doing a demo the other half did a 'make & take' project that Jenny had prepared for us then we changed over half way through the evening.
Jenny 'thank you so much' for giving us a fantastic evening and we look forward to your next visit.

Penny Black Challenge...Silent Night

This weeks Penny Black Challenge is 'Song Title/lyric' so I thought this little stamp called Xmas Dreams was ideal. Stamped onto watercolour paper and coloured with pencils.....Nestability frame, Cutlebug background folder Swiss dots, backing paper and blue gems and ribbon from stash, Cuttlebug snowflake die. SU window punched used for on sentiment.

Very busy at the moment getting ready for 2 craft fairs but wanted to stamp a couple of cards using my new A Rose is a Rose stamp set. All stampin Up card has been used, the backing paper is also SU.
