Been a stamping...

Here are a couple of cards from my demo in Inverness last weekend.
It was great to see those of you who could make it along - and yes I am working on those tutorials as we speak!!!
Watch this space x

I love the set of butterfly stamps - there are dies that match them as well....
Another busy busy week here, trying to finish off all the projects I have started but not completed.....
I will have them done in the next couple of weeks - clean slate in the new year and I plan to start it with no half done projects.......
Hope you are all surviving the madness!

Little birdies

I love love love the home to nest range from Do Crafts. It's a perfect range for those mens cards that we can all struggle with - but it's also great for the people who love to do gardening or for anyone who likes birds and bird watching.
Here are a few cards that I made using the range.......

It's def on my must have more of list..... I am going to add some snow to the top card and turn it into a Christmas card.
What kind of things have you been up to?
This 28 degree weather we are having at the moment is far to hot for me. I much prefer the cooler temperatures.
I have been creating some more earrings with friendly plastic though - I really do love that stuff..... I think I might make a bracelet or two with it next....... Hmmmm lots of ideas with that one.
I'm working on a few tutorials too, but they will take some time as the heat means that you just can't sit for a long time...... watch this space though!
I hope you have an amazing weekend, whatever you are doing.
Happy crafting

A little bit dotty...

Before you say it... no.. not me... the cards! lol
The background design for these cards has been very popular at demos and in classes.
It's so easy to do... all you need are some ink pads, an aperture and a pencil with a rubber on the end.

You can really add texture and design to your card, without needing lots of layers.
That way you cut down on the postage costs too.

I love this technique and will be using it again with some of my projects in this loop - so if you are at a demo and are not sure about it, please just ask and I'll show you.

Today I am off to gut that bedroom of mine.... I may be gone for a while! lol..... Tomorrow the new challenge goes live on the Cafe blog - so watch this space for that one......

Have a great day and enjoy what is left of your weekend xxx
