Street Kids Gamer

Hurrah i finally made a 'normal' me style card, although ia m starting to think i now have an 'allsorts style' rather than just cutsey, can only be a good thing though hey? So here is a mens card, yeah shock horror...but i have to say with these gorgeous Toppers they really do make it a breeze!

So i used one of the new releases Kenny K - Street Kids Toppers. Such a fun image and i am sure we all know someone this would be suitable for! The papers i used are an old Bo Bunny Paper Pad i have had for a while, but it's soo perfect for these images. I also used my Nesties to mat my image and added a dash of ribbon, some buttons, twine & black gems from my stash!

Birthday Box

 Today i  have something to show you that i made a while ago but i never took a photo of it or blogged it - naughty me! Must have been in my forgetful phases that still continues at times, lol!

So yes today i have a altered Birthday Box to show you! 

 As soon as we had the Birthday Box Kit (be online soon) delivered at MMCS a while back i knew i had to create something with it as it was just too useful not to! It's briliant as it has file folders & printed out birthday months all included so you can put all your handmade cards in this storage box and fill out the calender with everyones birthdays so you know what you need to make - brilliant! Also a fantastic gift idea i think :)

I covered the entire box with DCWV Papers that i have had for a while - came out of a big expensive stack, foiled and stuff but sooo pretty i didnb't want to cut it up! I also covered with file folders with coordinating papers too. I painted the letters then covered them with Glossy Accents then spent ages holding it together while the glue dried, but that was it - really simple!

Demo Makes

Wow what a busy day it was yesterday! It was of course the 1st Birthday Event at MMCS! We had such a great time, was nice to see so many customers, inspire people etc. I was demonstrating Inky Messy Stuff as i like to call it.. so everything from Dylusions, Distress Inks to Pan Pastels and yes my hands were pretty black by the end of it - and still are LOL!

So here are some of the samples i made on the day...

I will be showing these in more detail this week... i just need to mount some of them onto

cards first and finish them off, but i thought you would like a sneaky peak!

I have been busy tidying my craft desk and putting everything back to normal and i even sat down and put little coded stickers on the ends of all my Copic Ciao markers so i know which ones are which, very organised now - just need more mojo and time to create!

Artful ATC's

I have discovered a new love - ATC's yes Artists Trading Cards! I love the dinky size of them, and the fact they are like mini pieces of your own creative work :)

So with that in mind i made a few ATC's using Creative Expressions Stamps...

These were all created using Dylusions Sprays & Distress Inks. The Stamps i used are Artful Ladies, Butterfly Girl, Artful Phrases & Artful Sayings - LOVE these stamps right now!

I would like to enter these ATC's into the following challenges...

Experimenting..

I have been experimenting with my fabby new stamps that i got bought for my birthday a few weeks back - althought they only just arrived as they came from USA :) Thanks Grandpa!

Nothing exciting really i just thought i would show you all part of my experimenting!

So i used Oxford Impressions Stamps and created the background with my Dylusions.

All the stamps i used are from the Steampunk Stamp set, and that's it really!

Thanks for reading and i will be back later :)

Another Tim Holtz Tag

Here is another Altered Tag i made :) I had so much fun makin this and getting all messy in the process - i am finding the more messier everything gets the better it turns out, lol.

 I have used my Distress Inks to create the background, i then used a Dotty Background Stamp and a Flourish Stamp - both from Inkylicious. I then used my Tim Holtz Sewing Room Die and embossed it with Fran.Tage Embossing Enamel and stamped over the top with a Tim Holtz Stamp. I also used a bit of Fran.Tage Glitter around the edges to make it glisten and a bit more girly :) 

To finish i added a dash of ribbon & a Ideaology Metal Word.

I would like to enter this tag into the following challenges...

Technologic Robots

Now have you seen all the fabby new Kaisercraft products that have been arriving at MMCS?

They have been super popular already but i luckily bagged a few bits to play with to make up some samples for our shop demo boards! Normally i hate making mens cards but these Robots make it soo easy and so much fun...

For this i used the 6.5" Technologic Paper Pad and Technologic Collectables. Now if you haven't seen the collectables before - they are a bag cram packed with die cut cardstock embellishments there is sooo many in there and in my opinion a right bargain! I also added some cardstock letters and some Card Candi and that was it! Super easy and fantastic to create with the kids too!
