Too Cool for Cats!

I make cards that raise money for the Cat's Protection League and so today I took advantage of the great weather and made these little notecards in the garden - they are about 4 x 4 inches and using a technique shown by Joanne Wardle in Craft Stamper Magazine.

The stamps are a combination of Inkadinkado, Judi Kins and Hunkydory. Ink pads are by Tim Holtz.

Naturally, Millie insisted that I tell you she supervised the process whilst sunning herself in the garden.....

Recycle!

Hi everyone! The theme this week at Sweet Pea Stampers is "Recycle". So what I did was take some shiney silver foil wrapping paper that one of my birthday presents was wrapped in - emboss it through the cuttlebug and use some alcohol ink on the top to give it even more depth to match the main focal image.


And here is the foil wrapping paper before I cut it up.

Don't forget to join in at Sweet Pea Stampers for a chance to win a prize.

I am also entering this into the following challenges:

In a Sweet Pea Dream - Favourite Colour Sweet Pea

Something for your mum / hero

Yep that is the theme this week at Sweet Pea Stampers and here is my contribution. I was lucky to have my mum stay with me Sunday through Thursday this week and we had a great time.

Pack a Punch!

So I have to say I am honoured for this to be my first Design Team contibution to Sweet Pea Stampers. The theme this week is pack a punch. So get out yuor die cuts and get out your punches and create something magical.

I have used Papermania and K & Co Papers, Nestabilities and two Martha Stewart punches, along with a few prima flowers and some gems.

Scallops!!!

Hi.... so the theme at Sweet Pea Stampers this time is Scallops.... So I used a scallop die, a pink scalloped card which I hyped up with some Tim Holtz stamps and Ink Pads. And this is the result. Oh and a bit of card candy and another stamp - the verse of which I forget who it is from xx

Hi everyone. Well was busy Saturday making Earrings... I am doing a craft stall in April to raise money for the Cats Protection League, so am planning to sell hand crafted cards, beaded bookmarks, earrings and a few necklaces. So this is what I made in a day. Was fun as I have never made earrings before.

Sweet Pea Design Team Call

The Sweet Pea Stampers Challenge Blog is having a Design Team Call, so I thought why not try out for it!

Ever since I was introduced to the amazing Sweet Pea stamps by a friend, I have been addicted! There is nothing better than getting out my copics and losing myself in this magical world whilst bringing the stamped images to life.

I have an A4 plastic box full of these stamps and am now working on box number 2! I love seeing what others create with these stamps as the possibilities are endless. I am always inspired by the challenges and love to go exploring other creative blogs of people who have the same passion for these stamps as I do.

And the best thing, even if I am not successfull in making it onto the DT, there is still a challenge every two weeks where I get to play and create - win win :)

Here are two samples that I love the most.
