A Little Pink......

Hi there!!
I wasn't sure what to make this week.....so I made a Tag.....It's Pink, for a Pink loving friend....don't really 'do' Pink....but I am quite pleased with how it turned out..

I used the Suzi Blu stamp 'Be The Poet', available only whilst stocks last from the lovely Emily here...so grab her whilst you can!

I made the background using Acrylic Paints and finger painting...great fun!! The Black 'splodges' were added after and then I doodled round the edges... I found some Yellow ribbon, which I think I must have saved off some choccies (nothing gets thrown away in this house!!) and it already had the bow attached....Better than more Pink I thought!!!

Thanks for looking, I'll see you again soon...

All About The Boy!

Hi there and a very happy Monday to you...

Today I have a couple of very quick and easy ideas using one of my newer Suzi Blu stamps 'And Then There Was A Boy' available in the UK from the lovely Emily here

I do so much reading and I tend to use whatever piece of paper or ticket is closest to hand as a bookmark! I decided to make myself one in Black and White with just a little Orange thrown in! Well there had to be Orange on it somewhere, didn't there??

Really, really quick and easy! Coloured in with  ProMarkers. The Black card is textured and I just 'run' it through my ribbler and then added some fibres at the top.....
And a really quick and easy card......

with some some stick on gems and more fibre round the side.

Do check out 'Make The Day Special'  Emily has some great new stock in, good prices and excellent delivery.....what more could we crafty people want!

I hope you have a good day, thank you for looking... I will be back soon, I feel the need to get inky and messy again, as my last few makes have been quite 'clean' for me!!

See you soon.

Stamping Journal Pages With Suzi Blu

Hi Guys I have a journal page for you today. This is a page I've had in my head for a while now, probably from the first time I saw this stamp! The stamp is Suzi Blu Love Yourself and is available from Make The Day Special.

I drew my cherry blossom branch and bird cage but if you don't feel like drawing yours then check out the My Cute Stamps section in Make The Day Special! 

Thanks for popping by today.

Suzi Blu Tag!

Morning, hope you are well on this chilly Monday morning!! I'm so glad that January is nearly over, but it's scary how fast it has gone!

I'd like to show you a Tag today using one of my favourite Suzi Blu stamps :-) I have used 'Creative Girl' available from the lovely Emily here She is a huge stamp, so I didn't have to do an awful lot to make the Tag!

She's stamped onto a spare piece of card and coloured in with my Promarkers. I've gone a bit overboard with the Glossy Accents and the card buckled a bit..............doesn't seem too bad now that it's dry.............just a bit 3D!! She's coloured in with my Promarkers. I've just added a small scroll stamp from my {ippity} set here a metal word saying 'Create' and some fibres. The background is coloured with my Distress Inks and water splattered.

Thanks for looking, I hope you have a good Monday and a lovely week. I'll catch up with you soon. :-)

A Tag and

a small card...........

Morning.

First my little card..........I have had this 'Live,Love, Laugh' Itty Bitty stamp for ages..........and not inked her! I needed a quick card and seeing the scraps on my desk thought I would make a little card out of them :-) I've stamped and embossed her onto textured scalloped cardstock and then mounted her onto a lovely Goldy coloured textured card. She's coloured with my ProMarkers and I've just added adheshive blobs and ribbon to secure the 2 cards together. It took me longer to find the ribbon than do anything else!

Totally inspired by my lovely teamie Kim and her gorgeous Tags I thought I'd have a go myself...........hope you don't mind Kim.

I loved making this :-) I've used my Suzi Blu 'Poet' stamp...love her ♥♥♥ I've stuck pages of a book on the Tag and then run it through my hardly used Ribbler. I then started colouring the background with my Adirondaks and then put it through the Ribbler other way round! Inked again, water splattered and embossed. I've then just added the flowers, twine and a couple of charms and some Glossy Accents.

Thanks for looking. Don't forget to check out Make The Day Special  where Emily has some great stamps and fantastic service.
Have a good Monday and I'll see you soon.

Clean and Simple and Lovely and Inky!!

Morning. Gosh Mondays come round really quickly!
Today it is my turn to show you my creations using stamps available from the lovely Emily at Make The Day Special.
The first one I want to share is, unusually for me a Clean and Simple Card (CAS)

This is made with one of the Unity Wooden Mounted Stamps 'Just Hanging Out' I love this stamp and was so pleased when Emily sent it to me. (Whoops, I've just noticed it's out of stock, sorry. I'm sure Emily will be getting some more soon.)
I've simply clear embossed the image, coloured it with ProMarkers and inked and clear embossed round the edge. Simply matted on some lovely textured cardstock. I've used a little Photo Punch on the corners so that I could slide the image onto it......................would you believe this was the trickiest part??? :-) I've just added a simple sentiment which I've coloured with an inkpad and clear embossed.
Whilst I had my Unity stamps out, I thought I'd have another play and this time do my usual and get inky and a 'little' messy!

She's lovely isn't she? She is a Suzi Blu stamp that I bought from Emily a while ago, thinking that she would look great on my Journal Pages.............and she does! I had so much fun making this. She is simply stamped and clear embossed and coloured with my Promarkers. I've coloured the background with my Distress Inks and then used a stencil (which I'ved used to Journal round!) with a stronger colour of DI. The little sentiment also comes with the set and I've stamped it onto Shrink Plastic.

Thanks for looking and don't forget to visit Emily who has the most fantastic really hard to get stamps and wonderful service.

Clean And Simple Cards

Hi all, got a very minimal card for you today. I'm really into CAS, clean and simple, cards and every now and then I get the urge to try to pare down my designs. 

For this simple design I have used one of the beautiful Suzi Blu girls available over at Make The Day Special, the sentiment is from the same stamp.

Thanks for popping by.

Suzi Blu Bookmark

Hey Guys, I'm a bit late today with my post, it is one of those days when I blinked and suddenly the whole morning had disappeared! You know the type of day!  I made a mixed media bookmark today. Well actually it started life as a card and I wasn't happy with it so I changed it to a tag and still wasn't happy with it! But now it is a bookmark and I am reasonably happy with it LOL!

That might be where my morning went - too much indecision!

The main stamp is the lovely Suzi Blu Love Yourself - which you know how much I love LOL! I've also added a bit of faux stitching with the Unity Key To Joy Kit which is still on special offer another favourite kit!

Hope your day was less indecisive!
