Stampin up Summer by the Sea

This is a gorgeous golden oldie stamp set which I recently acquired. I just love colouring especially with my spectrum noir pens and pencils and these two clean and simple cards are really effective.

Hope you like them

Shadows in a shadow box with zentangle

Just loving these shadow boxes. So easy to make and the results are lovely.  This is a lovely monochrome one with some zentangle to complete the frame

Got all sorts of other ideas so keep checking in.

Shadow box made from cardstock

There have been a lot of shadow boxes about at the moment & made from cardstock they are a beautiful simple frame to show off any project inside. Here is my take

So pretty & shows off the flower beautifully. All products used for this are Stampin up.

How to make bobby dazzler embellishments

This is a little tip that I saw recently on a crafting channel and thought was such a great idea that I would have a go and try it.

Glue gun big dollops of hot glue on a silicone or glass sheet and immediately sprinkle with glitter of choice. Wait a few minutes to dry completely and then peel off and use.

This was my first attempt so they are a bit misshapen but have done some more and they are great. Can coordinate the glitter to match whatever project and cost a fraction of the cost of buying them. Can make approx 50 large ones from a single glue stick 

Stampin' Up! sprinkles of life with Happy patterns decorative borders

Well it is a horrible wet day. It started raining first thing this morning and it hasn't stopped all day. Yes the garden desperately needs the water but as I love being outdoor in the sunshine it has been a day to do some crafting.  I recently got a couple of new products from Stampin Up so these are some cards I made.

There is a lovely co-ordinating punch which makes the job easier and the stencils make for a love,y background to match the colours of the main image.

As always all of my cards are for sale so just drop me a message if there is something you would like. Have a happy day and thanks for dropping by.

Gorjuss red headed twins

I was asked to make two cards as an order for a lady who has twin girls both who have the most amazing red hair. So I chose one of the gorjuss stamp sets and stamped twice and the. Coloured using spectrum noir alchohol markers and pencils. This was a great fun card to make and she was absolutely delighted

This fab thinlets die from Stampin up is gorgeous and there are so many ways to use this die.
