Just A Note

This would make a nice gift. I used Paper Artsy Squiggly Ink stamps thoroughout for this project. If you make one for yourself then you can always refill it by stamping more 'Notes'! Quite simple to make, just one piece of card scored three times and the pockets glued. Could also be used for ATCs.

Late Again! I Don't Know....

This is an ATC I made for the letter F! Better very late than never I suppose. I hope Linda will be kind and forgive me. I used a piece of Whitewash card for the base, embossed with the D'Vine Swirl folder and then rubbed back with a piece of sandpaper. The picture is a little Snag Em stamp made for Papermania. Another F is the Frayed ribbon and of course the Flowers!

I chose Green and Grey to represent G and made a Gatefold ATC. The paper is from the new Jesse Edwards range. The stamp is a cute little bird by Inkadinkado, coloured with Distress Inks. The phrase stamp is from Cat's Life Press. The sparkly strips are Anita's Glitterations - can't use them enough! And they are another G.

Finally on to H! I made a skinny and put a Happy Hedgehog on it. I embossed the card using a Cuttlebug folder, I can't remember the proper name, I call it Little Birds. The chipboard embellishment, flowers and brad are from a Brenda Pinnick kit.

My Time To Craft - Woman

This ATC came out as a complete surprise to me when I finished it! I used a piece of Coredinations card for the base, embossed on the Cuttlebug with the D'vine Swirl folder, then given a good roughing up with the Chizzel-It. The lady is from a Craft Individuals book, and I framed her using a card slide mount. This was coloured with chalk ink pads and then stamped with a Paper Artsy swirl. The butterfly is a new 3-d one from Papermania, and I used one of Tim's Doo-dads to finish.

Forever Friends Challenge - A Sketch

I used Brenda Pinnock papers on this card, and matted the bear on the new Coredinations pearlescent cardstock - it's very smart indeed! I coloured the bear with coloured pencils. The purple flower is a Prima one and the white ones are new from Papermania.

Sketch Saturday

I recently bought a collection of decoupage and backing papers from the Jolly Nation Pets range and thought this little chap would suit this sketch. I used textured card from the Coredinations range and some gold mirri card as well.

Sketch Saturday

I used some paper from My Mind's Eye Bohemia pad for the background. The central image is from a Crafty Individuals image book. I stamped a Paper Artsy frame stamp using four different colours. I used gold mirri card and some textured Coredinations paper for the little mats, and some Prima flowers in the corners.

Cute Card Thursday - Punches

I used a set of three Woodware flower punches for this card. Punches were never something I bought many of, put off by the cost and not sure if I'd use them enough. I expect in recent years they have lost out to the die-cutting machines. Anyway, I used some paper from a massive My Mind's Eye Bohemia pad, a Forever Friends image, and punched the flowers from three colours of Coredinations card. I assembled them using some very thin foam pads to give a little depth.
