Lavinia stamps - Hobbit house

Don't you just love this little hobbit house nestled in the woods.  You can imagine the fairies and wee folk living in this gorgeous house.

The colour on my camera does not do this justice but the top card is done with purples and blues and the bottom in green and blues.  As always I have put lots of sparkle with glitter and liquid pearls.

Either of the cards can have whatever sentiment on them you require or can be personalised with a name or message of your choice.  Priced at only £2.50 each (plus royal mail postage) just drop me a message allmark.j@sky.com

Lavinia stamps - Trees

This gorgeous tree stamp by Lavinia stamps I made into a blossom covered tree using liquid pearls, one of my favourite embellishments.

The card is mounted on black cardstock and then a gorgeous purple.  Whatever sentiment or personalised name or saying can be put on this card which is only £2.50 (plus standard royal mail postage) and would make a great card for any occasion.

Just drop me a line allmark.j@sky.com and I will send one out straight away.

Happy crafting :)

Lavinia stamps - Bunnies or hares.

I really love this stamp set from Lavinia stamps as I really like everything to do with bunnies and hares.

I used some amethyst shimmer gilding wax on the outside of the card (unfortunately it does not look good on the photo) which gives a gorgeous shimmer, together with lots of glitter and inked the image using versafine, which gives a really crisp stamp.

This card is £2.50 to buy (plus standard royal mail postage) just drop me a line allmark.j@sky.com  The card can be personalised with whatever sentiment of name you require.

Thanks for dropping by :)

Personalised cards

I really enjoy making special bespoke cards for people.  This card was for a 50th birthday that I did recently.

It has been coloured using spectrum noir alchohol pens which give a lovely professional image and is finished with liquid pearls and a piece of ribbon.

Lavinia Stamps - Fairies

I was lucky enough to go to a craft fair earlier in the year where Lavinia were selling some of there fabulous stamp sets.  They are so gorgeous and right up my street as I love everything to do with fairies and woodland fairy based themes.

This card is a blank piece of white cardstock brushed inks from purple through to blue, with a mask for the ground. Embellished with glitter and liquid pearls and stamped using versafine black ink which is really fine and gives a lovely crisp image.

If you would like to purchase this card it is £2.50 (plus standard royal mail charges) and can be personalised with whatever sentiment required.

Time for a change in Focus.

Hello everyone!  As you know I have been a stampin' up! demonstrator for the past couple of years which has been a wonderful experience, but has had it's limitations.  I have been unable to showcase any other cards or projects that are not made using stampin' up! products.

My passion is card making and papercraft projects and as such I use a variety of sources for my stamps, cardstock, embellishments and ideas.  As time goes by I find that I have been frustrated in not being able to share with you all the other great brands that are out there in the marketplace.

So the time has come for me to make a change.  I am stopping being a stampin' up! demonstrator so am now free to show you all the other projects that I have been working on.

My cards have become very popular and I sell everything that I make.  So please feel free to contact me via email allmark.j@sky.com if there is anything on any of my blog posts that you would like to purchase.

I specialise in bespoke personalised cards, candles and papercraft projects.

So I do hope that you will all keep following my blog, buying my cards and allowing me to continue showcasing and sharing with you my continued passion for everything crafty.

Thanks as always for stopping by :)
