The Artful Stampers -Team Challenge Blog Hop - Challenge #102

You may have come from the lovely Artful Stamper: Mercia

Is Christmas in the air yet?? Sure is getting that way here with our card and box making.

Check out these cards.
This was my first and quite ugly card. I really didn't like the yellow on the green background. So I made another. I do love the Thoughful Branches set though, and instead of stamping the petals onto the flower/tree head I'd sponged it over, tone on tone. I think the stamp would have been a better look.

And here is the same card, different colour way, I like it much better... I need to have a little more practice and colour coding I think...Or the MOJO just didn't want to play today...

I may add an MDS to this post yet... I'll keep you updated.
Here you go... I couldn't help myself :) I am Happy now, just another Bali pic :)

The Artful Stampers -Team Challenge Blog Hop - Challenge #101

You may have come from the lovely Artful Stamper : Mercia Poree

I bought the little Merry Tag framelits and in the matching bundle the merriest wishes stamp set. It is all so cute. I also had the little mini treat boxes from last year to attach my taggie to. I will make a larger box eventually and place many tags into the box as gifts.

I cut the base out for tag to be written on and the top 3 times with the different coloured cardstocks. Whisper White, Emerald Envy and Crumb Cake. I also added an extra coloured layer at the back from an old Christmas Stack of DSP to give it strength. Tied it off with a little glitter twine from the tin of tags. I love, very simple and cute to boot. 

AND I also loved the tin of tags and had a play with those too. Again I will have to get out my gift box punch board and make a larger box to store them in. I do want to use the tin for the storage of my homemade tea. I love it all...

Sneak Peek - Seasonally Scattered

Hello, I have trialed a new stamp set from the new Seasonal Catalogue 2014, Seasonally Scattered. 

I just love the way it stamps, for embossing, on the naturals and the well known whisper white... I have only trialed one of the stamps out of three. Keep you itching for more...

How did I get this stamp so early? Because as a Stampin' Up! Demo, I am allowed to order some of the new products early...Number 1 perk being a Demo...

Here you go I have combined all the photos from instagram using MDS...awesome.

Or you can see them here separately on my Instagram account....click here

Have a scrappy crafternoon

Gday,

I've been trying to tidy up my craft spots (all over my house) and I'm finding it dreadfully difficult not to play...I found a bit of yellow (Daffodil Delight) and some very old matching DSP paper. All on a white base and I cam up with this...Love it...

AND another few cards that I'd made waiting for visitors and still desperately trying to tidy. Thinking that this was a great way to tidy up - it just takes three times as long...lol

AND before all these cards started I'd been sitting with my carfty mag and having a cuppa and I was inpsred by a scrapbook page, so I raced over to my mess and created this...I do love this and it might become my chrissy card...

with an upclose shot:

AND here is HOW TO make the Cathedral Windows.

Punch circles and fold in to make them square, cut out little glimmer square and stamp a greeting. Attach to upmounted cards in matching colours...Love stampin' Up for this...Matching makes it easy...

To make a square template to fold against, I cut one circle, THEN.... fold it in half, then in half again. I cut from the edge of the fold to next edge. I used this square as a template for folding the circles against...does that make sense? 

Email me here if you would like more information to place an order or you can shop online.

PS this stamp is no longer available by order, but there are many others from the current catalogue to choose from...yippee...
Cheers Tamsin...

Monochrome/christmas swap

Hello, many summery returns to you...I'ts been hard to stay in doors lately. But I have managed to produce another set of monochrome cards with a christmas theme...

We had to use any single colour combined with either whisper white, very Vanilla, Crumb Cake or Basic Black.

and this is what I came up with:

I love the spritzer tool, I'm having lots of fun with it...





If you would like to order any of the above products used to make this card, please email me.


Cheers Tamsin...

Medallion mad...

Card Making Day # 2

It was a lovely day, had by me and my girly friends...

 We made 3 beautiful cards and ate soup and talked about our businessess and other business stuff. As we crafties all know we don't make millions. We make smiles for others...

Here are the three cards we made today. Have fun looking.

I have blogged this card recently for Artful Stampers annual blog hop. I have used pearls instead of gems and love them.

I also love this santa card also using the Stampin' Up manhatten flower embossing folder, and the butterflies embosslits for the moustache...:)

This card is showing a new In Colour for this year, Primrose Petals, with the very versatile neutral range of colours sahara sand and chocloate chip...Any light neutral would work with a dark neutral here.

And that is it for today...I did have a little practice this morning before the girls turned up with the manhatten flower white on white card BUT in "real red" on red, and failed....I don't like it...needs something else, what do you think?

 

Cheers Tamsin.
