Scrappy Friday

For my Scrappy Friday tutorial I followed a sketch provided by

Janie over at Crafter's Castle.

As soon as I saw it I knew it would be great for using up some scraps.

On this one I used scraps from the Subtles dsp pack.

The stamped items are from a set called Circle Sayings.

You can watch my tutorial here.

September -Feminine

Our new challenge theme over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS is

Make it Feminine!

We have a lovely prize up for grabs from

Stamp Addicts is a family run business based in Bedfordshire and have been in business since 1992. We have watched the popularity of rubber stamping and all papercrafts steadily increase over time and now manufacture our own branded rubber stamps which frequently feature on Hochanda TV as well as exhibiting at craft shows across the UK.

For my card I dug out an old stamp set from Woodware called

Bubble Bloom. I stamped the flower, coloured it in

and then filled the flower with card candi and gems.

The butterfly stamp is from a set from Paper Artsy called

Tops and Tails 3. The butterfly has been colours cut and layered.

I added an embossed line around the edge of the flower image.

The sentiment has been stamped and punched out using my

oval punch (SU).

The background paper is from Oh So Ombre from Stampin' Up.

I hope you can come and join us this month!

Carved wood technique!

So I had a little play on Sunday past as the weather

was atrocious with thunder, lightening and torrential rain!

What's a girl to do other than craft??

Anyway I decided to have a go at the carved wood technique.

I used items from Lisa Horton:

Poinsettia & Holly embossing folder

Painted Stripes texture stamps

Nested stitched bubble squares.

The inks I used are soft suede and bermuda bay (SU)

and matching ribbon and card from SU as well.

I did make a mistake when putting it into the embossing folder 🙈

should have been indented!!

But I still like the finished effect.

Another excuse to try again lol.

Anything stamped!

Our May challenge has started over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

and the theme this time is 

anything stamped option floral/fauna!

We have a prize up for grabs so come and join us!

For my card I have used the beautiful

Multi Layer Double Tulip Bloom

from Lisa Horton.

I went with shades of bermuda bay and coastal cabana for the flower,

and granny apple green, lemon lime twist and old olive inks for the leaves.

They have been stencilled, stamped and die cut so I could layer it up.

I also traced around the edge of my card so I could cut

away in the shape of the flowers.

Underneath I added some embossing to the exposed corner.

The top sentiment has been white embossed onto matching card

and the centre sentiment has been stamped in bermuda bay.

I finished with some faux stitching and sequin

and filled a gap with a punched out butterfly

which I coloured using a blending brush.

Scrapbook Thursday Birthday Layout

Another April Birthday!

It was Grandson Oliver's 12th Birthday early April

so I wanted him to have a special memory for that in his book.

I have used Broadway Birthday and A Grand Kid (coming soon) stamp sets

along with lots of bright colours.

I followed this layout from

Sketches in Thyme #420

It is most enjoyable and I feel I am getting
