Happy Halloween!

This is another card I made up for my October customers.

I have used the beautiful Framed Florets bundle and Fitting Florets dsp

available in my shop from tomorrow!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

These are the treats I made for the Grandsons.

Bit of a blurry photo but I simply filled some

Halloween cups with treats. I then made rosette,

inked up with black for a spooky feel.

I added some chocolate coins to the front and a spider to the back.

They were attached to a straw and stuck in their cups.

The boys did love them thankfully.

My 9 year old Grandson said: 'you put so much work into these Granny

and now we are just going to dismantle them'!

He does make me smile that boy!!

I would like to enter my card into

Allsorts 700th challenge (congratulations) - let's celebrate any special occasion

We have the family calling throughout the day for some

The kids will be dressing up and maybe some of the adults too!!

I am not really into Halloween at all and will be

happy to see tomorrow morning!!

Enjoy your day, whatever you are up to!

 

October Customer Kits

As a thank you to my October customers I am sending out

three card kits for them to make up.

This is the first one.

It has been made using a brand new bundle available from November.

It's called Framed Florets and the dsp is called Fitting Florets!

I really have enjoyed playing with it.

As I can't send out stamped images/sentiments I have used

the designer papers to cut the flowers, frames and leaves.

One of the dies fits perfectly over one of the flowers on the dsp.

Another beautiful day outside.

We spent a few hours lifting leaves and clearing the garden

yesterday then woke up after a storm last night to an even

worse scene lol. It is never ending at this time of year!

But it is a beautiful site with all the colours.

Have a lovely weekend and thanks for stopping by.

Colours of Autumn

It's the second week of our theme

Colours Of Autumn

over at

TAG TUESDAY.

For my tag today I had a play with some stamps and colours to make

my background. There are some little gold flecks

flicked here and there but they do not show up in the photo.

The leaves have been die cut in coloured card then

inked around the edges and stuck in place.

I stamped the sentiment and cut round it.

The tag has been finished with a stapled ribbon.

Hope you get time to come and share your beautiful tags with us.

Old with the new!

I had a play with a retired stamp set today called Poinsettia Petals,

but teamed it up with some brand new in-colours.

I stamped enough berries to cut a piece off for the inside.

A quick and easy card and nice and flat for posting.

Colours of autumn

I am guest designing at 

Allsorts

this week and the theme is

Colours of Autumn.

For my card I started out using the double aperture rectangle stencils

from Lisa Horton to create an autumn gold background (pumpkin pie).

I spritzed with water and mopped it up to get the speckled look.

I kept the stencil in place and stamped the trees and leaves from

a set called Autumn Days (simply cards & papercraft) in

early expresso ink.

The sentiments were also stamped in early expresso

and come from the same stamp set.

I finished by stamping a small leaf beside the bottom sentiment.

So I had a great crafting day planned while Hubby

was away for 5 hours of golf and the golf has been cancelled!!

There goes my day lol.

Enjoy your weekend and thanks for dropping by!

No colouring!!

I started making this card/video for my facebook group,

fully intending to spend a bit of time colouring the flowers

when a light bulb went on in my dusty head!

So I decided to stamp the flowers onto the same paper I used

and just added a bit of shading with matching blends and some

highlights using the chalk pen.

Saved me a lot of time and I really like the effect.

If you choose the area of paper carefully you can get some really

nice shaded looks to your flowers.

Box gift tutorial

I have a tutorial over on YouTube

showing how I made these little gift boxes.

We have been invited to a Jewish celebration just before Christmas

and during the 8 days we bring small gifts for each other.

So I thought I had better made a start on mine!

These little boxes hold a lovely smelly candle and I am

stamping the names of each recipient on the boxes.

Everything I have used is linked below.
