Home Is Where...

Hello folks, how are you all doing today? I'm watching the rain on the window and happy to be at home today :)

Perfect day for a Home is Where the Heart is card :) This stamp is one of the co-branded Itty Bitty stamps from Unity.

I've used the ZIG Art And Graphic Twin Pens to stamp the image and you can now get these pens over at Make The Day Special! Wahoo!

Hope it is sunny where you are.

Itty Bitty Christmas!

Good morning to you all....
Emily has some fantastic new stamps and I was very lucky to have been sent some....check for all the new stock here as well as some fantastic bargains here and here
I thought that now would be a good a time as any to make a start on Christmas.......and this stamp is lovely....

I decided, unusually for me....to make them clean and simple...well that was the plan! I just won't show you the back of the cards after me putting them on my very inky craft mat.....

Here they are all together...

I used one of my 'bug embossing folders and some lovely sticky ribbon which already had the shiny stones on....

Here it is closed.......

I stamped straight onto the card for this one...

A nesties shape and my own hand cut matt....

They were all coloured with Sakura pens..

Thanks for looking, I hope you have a good day and enjoy the SUN!!

I'll see you soon...

Go With Your Heart

Hve you visited the shop recently? There are some fabulous new stamps in stock including Unity Co-branded Itty Bitty stamps including this gorgeous one for a new scrapping company Authentique. Have a look in the shop here for the Itty Bitty stamps.

I don't have any Authentique papers so decided to make a card using some of the fabulous new My Mind's Eye papers which I've fallen in love with.

I stamped the sentiment image on to a piece of patterned paper cut using a Nestabilities die and mounted it on another die-cut. The bird was stamped on to the same patterned paper before being cut out and adhered to the card.

Materials used:

Papermania cardstock, My Mind's Eye papers

Unity stamps (as above), black Versafine ink, Spellbinder's Nestabilities die-cuts

Prima flowers and flower centres

CraftWork rhinestone border, Dovecraft brad

cotton lace, antique button

A Genuine Genius

Today's teeny tiny card is a little congratulations card with a bit of a difference - I wanted something simple but sweet to tell someone special that I'm proud of them. (You know who you are! Clever clogs!)


I just love this cute label stamp from Unity's Garden Variety set - which is part of Make The Day Special's Amazing August Sale. The label can be stamped with or without the 'Genuine' sentiment, but I left it in and then squeezed in some extra alphas from Lawn Fawn's Jessie's ABCs.

Using a little alpha set and this cute little label, there's plenty of ways you can create your own simple sentiments. So, check out the sale and start making your own genius creations.

Stamping layout

Hello.

One of my biggest problems with stamping is that i cant stamp on my scrapbook pages successfully.

I think that has changed now.

I made this layout for a challenge and the base was butterflies.

Not having any paper that matched i made my own.
Ive used unity and ippity stamps.

I used the butterfly from the "Key to joy" store kit.

Stamped randomly in the same colour as the card.

Then used stamps from Ippity set "the best" and "here and now"

Oh before i go have you seen the new ranges at Make the day special?

Now stocking Simply Betty stamps.

And Paper smooches available to pre order.

Also if your looking for a bargain check out the August sale.

Thanks for looking.

Cruising Through Life

Hello folks, how are you all doing this week?

I thought I would try something a little different for my Make The Day Special make this week and stamp out and colour the Lawn Fawn Cruising Through Life bicycle stamp directly onto some
designer paper.

If you look very closely you can see that the Basic Grey paper I've used has little bicycles on it - I thought that was perfect for the stamp!

I really like the sentiment that comes with this kit.

Have a fun and creative week.

With Sympathy and Love....

Hi there!
Today I have one of my large Tags to show you.....

I have used a Big 'N' Juicy pad to brayer the background. I then used some sprays through a little piece of stitching plastic to create the little square texture. I have used the Unity store kit 'With Sympathy' available as always from Emily here. I have also used the background stamp from another Unity store kit.... 'A Mother's Love' again available from Emily here  I have used it at the top of the tag and then sprayed over. The little flowers are just cut from another Tag, where I have inked the background stamp all over and clear embossed it and coloured with my Distress Inks and then sprayed a gold spray over the top.

Thanks for looking, I will, hopefully be back soon.
