Day Dream Medallions Happy Card using Stampin Up products.

It is always a sad time when stamp sets retire but it is always lovely to keep those sets and use them as they become more unique and there isn't a flood of those cards about to buy. So here is a card which is just that

It has a fab sentiment. You can never have too much happy, and that is exactly how I feel whenever I start to craft it makes me happy.

As always all my cards are for sale so just get in touch.

Gorgeous grunge backgrounds

Was playing around with the gorgeous grunge stamp set and started to make what I thought was going to end up a bit of a mess as I used too many bright colours. Than I had an idea to mute it down with some white sponged over the whole area and the effect was lovely. So I decided to use it on a card embossing the sentiment in white. The result is lovely and really pleased with the overall effect.

As always all my cards are for sale but do be quick as they tend to do quite quickly. Drop me a line allmark.j@sky.com

Graffiti Art Cards

Well yesterday I did a small craft fair in Farnham at a great venue Licked.  I had never been there before and it was a lovely bar in Farnham owned by two lovely guys who made everyone very welcome and were so helpful.

The event itself was not very well attended but those that came were all nice people and the comments I received on my cards was very positive and I was able to make some pennies and some good customer contacts so a good productive evening.

A range of cards I have been making which is very on trend at the moment is graffiti art.  Here is a selection

If you would like any of these cards then please drop me a line allmark.j@sky.com or contact me through my facebook link https://www.facebook.com/#!/amethystarcrafting

Handmade cards crafted with love and from the heart.

Well tonight is rather exciting as I am going to a local event and showcasing some of my cards and gifts.  I am hoping to meet some lovely new people and network my little business and hopefully make a few pennies too.

I have been burning the midnight oil beavering away making some new cards.  As you know most of my cards are one offs so the creative juices have been flowing.

I thought I would leave you with a flavour of some of the cards I have been making and as always if there is something you would like personalised for a special someone then please get in touch.

Wish me luck everyone and will post soon to let you all know how it went.
