this Christmas bundle from myscrapchick was amazing value for $1 and I am having so much fun making them......

they take 2 sheets of  A4 card...and scraps of coloured card.....
Hope you are having fun crafting......

Spellbinder Fairies....

after watching the new tonic release on Create and craft I remembered that I had bought the spellbinder fairy dies...pristine in their packets so out they come......

a simple card with a bit of glitter.....a tonic sentiment and the lovely memory box tiffany frame that I won as blog candy a few years ago ...
oh I did enjoy making this with dies I already had!
Hope you are having a lovely crafty day...its pouring with rain here so guess what I will be doing........

Sheena Douglas stamps

I know I said I wasn't going to buy new stamps but I just loved the new Sheena Douglas victorian  ones.....they are however quiet large and do need to be the focal point of at least an 8x8 card.....
I took my inspiration from a sample I saw on create and craft......

I coloured the poppies with aqua tints after watching Sheen doing her demo on the TV.....the sentiment is a tonic die.....
Hope you are having fun crafting today......

Christmas card club challenge 11 Zoe's choice ...Gifts

I have been playing with my scan and cut ....and these are two of the belly boxes I have made as gifts for my great nieces for Christmas......I always do a bag or box and fill it with chocolate pennies to put on the christmas table.....

I bought the SGV files for a $1 from myscrapchick while the sale was on...they really are so much fun to make.....
I hope you will go round all the other girls blogs ....they make such fantastic creations with the aimof being well prepared for Christmas....all the links to their blogs are on my side bar....

LOTV stamps....

as you may know I promised myself as a new years resolution that I would stamp up all the stamps I have bought and not yet used.....I am slowly getting there....I bought these lovely LOTV statement stamps some years ago...they must be feeling unloved .....so here goes with 2 of them.....

the die cuts are Sue Wilson dies,the flower is Heartfelt creations Botanical rose stamp and die...and a bit of walnut stain distress ink on the Kraft card.....
Hope you are having a lovely crafty day....

back to using unstamped stamps!

after watching Sheena Douglas on create and craft the other day I remembered buying some butterfly stamps a couple of years ago.....I remember thinking when they arrive that they were very big and I think that put me off using them....well the time has come!

I have done my stamping with brown stazon and then distressed with walnut stain....the stamps cut out beautifully on my scan and cut so that saved some time!
The die cuts are the Sue Wilson nobel dies....
getting through my unused stamps only about 10 years to go.....

playing with Sue Wilson dies

I am loving these new Sue Wilson dies.....this is the ornate pierced and adorned sets.....they match up so well.....

the embossing folder is also a Sue Wilson  one....just the addition of a bow and a couple of stick pins....I love black and cream together....
Hope you are happily crafting too.....
