Clever handmade

Hello.

A quick card from me today.

I have used "She always knew" from clever handmade.

I have kept it very simple and coloured the image with pro markers.

Oh and the background paper is from Lawn fawn.

Thanks for looking.

Well Old!!

Hi, it’s Ruby.  I’ve made a man card today.  I find cards for men reaaaalllly challenging.  I seem to get a mental block when it comes to no butterflies, flowers or pretty colours!

Anyway, this is what I’ve come up with….


Using Paper Smooches ‘Smarty Pants’ set I stamped the books/globe/smarty pants and coloured them in using my Copics.  I printed the words ‘read’, ‘travelled’ and ‘old’ to which I then stamped the word ‘well’ from ‘get well’ using Paper Smooches ‘Sentiment Sampler’ set.  I love combining stamps with computer generated words, it opens up a whole new world of opportunity.  It’s a good job the recipient of this card is my future father-in-law and doesn’t get upset easily lol

I hope you are all having a great start to your week!

Ciao for now.

Sew Pretty

My project for today uses Lawn Fawn's Sew Lovely and Bannerific. Both of these sets have been around for some time now, but I've been waiting some time to get my inky fingers on them - they were always sold out when I went to have a look. (But they're both in stock now and just as delicious as when they were first released!)

Once again, the best part of using Lawn Fawn stamps is how well the sets combine with each other - even across collections. The alphabets and sentiments always fit easily into elements like the banners, clouds and tickets from other sets, making them extremely versatile. 

Cannot recommend them enough!

Art journalling with Unity

Today I've been playing in a new journal using Unity stamps.

I made the background using Dylusions inks and then randomly stamped using Versamagic chalk inks and the grid stamp from Unity's "Moments in Bloom" store kit available in the shop here and the Unity/Christy Tomlinson stamp "tattered chicken wire" available in the shop here.

After leaving this to dry I then used a floral stamp from the Unity "Quiet Essence" store kit (again in the shop here) and stamped this around the edges using black Versafine ink before colouring in using Prismacolor pencils.

I stamped the sentiment from the Quote Bundle Pack again using Versafine ink and coloured the flowers using pencils again.

The art doll was a digital that I purchased from Etsy seller Sabrina.

Materials used:
Dylusions inks, Versamagic inks, Versafine ink
Unity stamps (as above)
Prismacolor pencils, white Signo pen
digital art doll (as above)


As always, thanks for visiting

An Altered Notebook

Good Morning and welcome to the usual Bank Holiday Weather we have grown to know and dislike!!

I have tried something new to share with you today and because I have never ventured into the art of altering anything, I decided to keep it fun and true to my usual style.... which means Lawn Fawn and Paper Smooches Stamps :0)

On completing this little 10x15cm notebook, it suddenly dawned on me that I had used a gazillion stamp sets and I now had to list them all on my post...aaarrgh!! So to save my sanity and you the boredom of a list I will just mention the main players in the coloured focal text, although I want to just point out the lined paper background is stamped in Versamark, using the School House Backdrops from Lawn Fawn... such a versatile set :0)

If you're wondering about the large book...it's the pencil from Smarty Pants ...... with a little masking and drawing lines with a pen and ruler I changed it into a book and the light bulb from Perpetual Bliss has also had a makeover with the filament now reading 'Ideas' instead of ''Love'.

I had great fun creating this and I intend to keep it in my bag with me so I have a place to jot down ideas when inspiration strikes. I have yet to see if a coat of Mod Podge would help to protect it from wear and tear.... I added the elastic strap to help protect the pages, so we'll see how it stands up to being used :0)

The main sets I have used are

• Lawn Fawn : Quinns ABC, School House Backdrops, Jessie's ABC, Claire's ABC
• Paper Smooches : Perpetual Bliss, He Said She Said, Smarty Pants, Word up
• Lawn Fawn Brightside paper pack...... NOW in stock

Thanks for stopping by today and hope you enjoy the long weekend :0)

Bit of a mixture

Hello.

Lots of cards today, these have all been made for challenges.

And haven't posted here yet.

Stamps used on these cards are all from Lawn fawn and Paper smooches.

 Thanks for looking.

Hi there

It’s Ruby here.  Today I’ve got a really quick and simple card to share with you.


Sometimes I get so involved in the detail of a card I forget that I can just make something simple.  My bow was doing its own thing as you can see, grrr.

I used Lawn Fawn’s Judy’s Blooms and Lawn Fawn’s On the Mend.

Hope you get some time to play this week and if you always get too bogged down in the detail have a break and create something a bit more simple, it’s fun!
