Been a while since I have been on here, well actually the last time was the last Rudolph Day!  Ooops.  Time just runs away doesn't it.
Here are my two cards for the Rudolph Day which is run by my craft friend Sarn at Stamping for Pleasure


I shall also be nipping over to the Snippets Playground for some fun too being as though the cones are made from little scraps of kraft card I found!

Have a nice day everyone.

What a lovely morning.  The sun is shining, the dinner is in the slow cooker, the washing all done leaving me the whole day to get on with some crafting.  I'm hoping the mojo is in my craft room today because he certainly been hiding lately.
Well, here is my Christmas cards for the Rudolph day this month, all seven of them!!
These stamps from Clarity are just perfect for the 4 x 4 cards and are so quick to bring together.

All wrapped up and ready to go with the first batch made last month

Kinda Eclectic - 21st birthday

Good morning
Wanted to share with you some 21st birthday cards that I made for my triplet nieces birthday recently.

I spent ages trying to think of doing something that looked quite modern without using the usual flowers and butterflies.  I came up with these using the Kinda Eclectic stamp which to me looks like a firework.  I stamped them in different colours and blinged them up with sparkling embossing powder.  I think they came out pretty well and I hope that the girls were pleased with them.





Thank you for stopping by today and I hope to be back soon.

Eileen's Class

Good morning,
Yay it is Friday, the best day of the week!  Even though I have to work on Saturday morning this week, I'm still glad it's Friday.

Last Saturday I attended Eileen Goodwin's class in Rochester with three of my crafty friends.  What a fabulous time we had.

We used the brilliant brusho paints and clingfilm technique. I LOVED the way this turned out, all I could see in the pattern was the tree trunk with the light shining through, perfect place for the fairy to be hanging out!
Eileen showed us how to paint using the brusho's and create a shadow around our image

This card was using just a sprinkling of lemon and black brusho paint with a wee spray of water.  We were then supposed to stamp an image over the paint but once again all I could see was a tree!  I couldn't go beyond that.  I just loved the tree and didn't want to spoil it, so I just mounted on black card and left!!!
This class was so very inspirational and has given me the confidence to play some more with my brusho's.

Thanks for stopping by today

Kindness

Good morning
Hope you are enjoying your day.

Today's card was a bit different to what I usually make, lots of fussy cutting which I am not too keen on!  I did like the result though.   Stampin'Up! do so many different types of flowers.

Dotty Stencil


Morning all
Well the sun is shining this morning and I am hoping to get outside for some little R&R.  We really don't know how much longer we will be blessed with the sun this year eh?

On today's card I thought I would have a go at using the new Honey coloured ink pad and dotty stencil from Stampin'Up!   I was quite pleased with the result.   Can you see that the dots are all slightly different in colour, not sure what happened but I can assure you that I used the same ink pad for all the inking!
I also managed to get to incorporate the lovely Blackberry Bliss cardstock again.  L O V E that colour!



Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day

Take care
