Summer Garden

Hello, how are you today? A summer garden is my inspiration for my project over on Calico Craft Parts Blog today. I used some dried rose petals from our own garden for the pathway up to the door. I used a heart for the door as home is where the heart is.

Thank you for visiting, and please stay safe xx

Swing on By

Hello, thank you for stopping by, and I hope you are enjoying the warmer weather.

Many thanks to Rosie from Papercrafter for including my card above in this months fab issue.

Sorry I did not take any step by step photos, but I have written a few lines below.

I used the wonderful fairytale stamp set which was a cover gift on a previous issue. I began making my card by stamping, water colouring, and fussy cutting my chosen images.

I added flowersoft and some crumpled rose petals to the ropes of the swing. I press a lot of flowers, and this is the perfect time of year when the garden is full of so many beautiful and colourful flowers.

I embossed the branches and hung my swing from them. The fairy wanted to enjoy the flowers so I stood her up on the swing. I used sticky pads to adhere my images to the background which I had previously created with watercolours.

Thank you for visiting today.xx

Don’t Let Life Dull Your Sparkle

I fell in love with this Spellbinders Away We Go die when I spotted it at the Alexandra Palace Craft show earlier this year.It cuts beautifully, I do often struggle with dies not cutting very well! I enjoyed creating backgrounds with my aqua markers pens so much I made another one, but no swirls this time. I also added some fibres and dried flowers.

I currently have some pretty Forget-Me -Not flowers in my flower press, yes I actually put them in the press this time, and not between book pages ! They should be ready in the next few weeks, so I am looking forward to using them.

Thank you for stopping by today, I hope you are having time to enjoy your crafting xx

I would like to enter this into the Artistic Stamper Backgrounds Challenge.

Easter Scene Frame

Hello dear crafting friends, how are you today? The daffodils are out so maybe spring weather may arrive soon!

With Spring in mind I made this Spring Scene.I used a deep wooden frame, and created a Watercolour background. I then used a wonderful spring stamp set which came free with Crafts Beautiful magazine. I coloured and fussy cut the stamps and added them to the front part of the frame and added various dried flowers, and twigs. I adhered the butterfly stamps onto some thin wire so they could fly freely in the scene

Thank you for visiting and I hope you are having time to have crafty fun.

I would like to enter my Spring Scene into the following challenges.

Floral Notebook

Hello, and if this is your first time here a very warm welcome to you! I hope you will enjoy your visit, please leave me a comment as I would love to visit your blog too. I hope you have escaped all of the nasty winter bugs going around, I am so looking forward to the spring!

Today I would like to share my Floral Notebook with you, which I created for Indigoblu. Indigoblu make amazing, unique and very high quality rubber stamps which are all manufactured right here in the UK. Their new floral stamps are just gorgeous and are a joy to colour !

This is how I created my notebook.

I removed some pages from an old book, this one happened to be “Wind In The Willows” I tore the pages into large strips, and adhered them to both sides of the notebook covers using Super Thick Slap It On.

Using a Versamarker ink pad I stamped the flowers and heat embossed them with brown embossing powder.

After colouring the flowers with Indigoblu paints I fussy cut them.I added some Mulberry Bush (this is my new favourite colour) paint to the edges of the notebook.I used sticky foam pads to adhere the flowers to the cover.I also added some pressed flowers to the cover.
