I was moving some bits around in my craft area this morning, hunting for stuff as you do and i came across a clock i made for my craft room (well craft area atm!) and i hadn't ever blogged it - shocking!

So here is my crafty clock i made...

How cute is this eh? I started off with a very simple clock kit - its actually a big circle chipboard piece and a clock mechinism - i got it from the £1 stand at one of the craft shows last year, bargain!!

I coverd it with blue cardstock then added a bit of green which i jazzed up with a grass punch or die - can't remember which one! I then added the Magnolia Fence just behind the grass and added some Flat Bottomed Clouds. I added some felt numbers i had in my stash then coloured up my two Some Odd Girl Stamps - Balloon Kaylee & Sweet Thinking Mae and ta-ta, all finished!!

Snowflake Tags

Although it might seem a while away yet - Christmas is really only roudn the corner, scary thought i no but that's why i thought i would get ahead and start making some christmassy tags :)

I got some gorgeous stamps from Visible Image so i thoguht these would be perfect. Here are the two i have made up so far in two different colours - i plan to create other colours too!

Simple i know but equally pretty i think! I created the background with distress inks then i stamped & embossed the Snowy Background Stamp in white detail embossing powder. I then distressed a small piece of card and stamped the sentiment Winter's Butterfly in the same ink. I used some white organza ribbon and dyed it with the matching distress inks. The tags were made using the Dienamics Traditional Tags STAX Dies - i used them all the time now!

On The Move!

Good morning, hope you are all having a nice weekend :)

Today i have to show you a nice bright summery card that i made for Studio 12/Polkadoodles, perfect for a new home card!

For this card i used In The Garden & Welcome Home Collection.

I resized everything in Craft Artist and layed it all out how i was going to do it.

I then moved the images off the main paper so that i could cut them all out and place them on with foams pads etc. I like my things being 3d you see :)

The sentiment was printed directly onto the background paper.

Thanks for looking and see you all soon!

Vintage Car

I just received some more yummy stamp goodies from the fab Visible Image so i couldn't wait to ink them up! I didn't have much spare time so it had to be quite a quick one... and here it is...

I spritzed the background with my Sprinkeys Vintage and smudged it all over the page with a baby wipe so it was more blended together. I then stamped the Grunge Flourish in the corner and used the other side to create a border around the whole card - loe the look of it! I then stamped the Vintage Car and did the same with the sentiments Live Your Dreams & popped them on 3d foam pads. To finish i matted it onto black card and added a bit of twine through a button. It only took around 10mins to complete!

Visible Image has a new group over on facebook so come & join in the fun with us!

I did manage to whip a card today which i loved creating! I had limited supplies with me which is actually good for me as it is so much quicker and easier to create something - at home i have too much choice and i get confused - ever have that happen to you? I can't have too much surely?

Don't you just love this lil cutie she is called Patty and is one of the new gorgeous CC Designs Stamps. She is such a dream to colour too. I of course used my Copics. The papers are all the lovely Kanban Cool Britannia Collecion. I also used a Cheery Lynn Flourish & Dienamics Stacking Stars.
