Smart and Sassy!

 

Good morning everyone!

We had such a busy weekend in the garden, hubby was putting up a new feather board fence down the side of the house and in-between advising him lol I had a good tidy in the garden. I’ll be finishing off the sweeping up to day and then its window cleaning they are a disgrace from all the all the roof work.

 

Here is my little card, well not so little actually, it was 8 x 8 ish but it didn’t fit the envelope as I had made it too tall ( it was the heart that pushed it over the edge) but it was for my sister and she didn’t mind that little problem and looking at it now I should have taken another picture of it free standing!

The design  was taken from mixed up crafts and most of the stamps were Made to surprise stamps and the dress being woodware. Coloured with Zig Clean Colour Real Brushes and Promarkers.

Thanks for visiting I really do appreciate it!

Woodware

 

Hello

How are you?

I’m a little stressed, the weather is horrendous, so no more work on the roof, the wind is lifting the plastic where the ridges are and making one heck of a noise and I’m worried about it blowing off and the neighbours complaining, the weather may be like this for a couple of days!

I’ve had a new Woodware stamp and had a little play. 

It was supposed to be a spotlight card but I didn't make the spotlights big enough, so I just added them back in with some 3d foam tape, which meant I had a twofer all I needed to do was colour the purple one.

Watercoloured with Faber Castell.

 

Thanks for your visit I really do appreciate!

ATC's

Hello

Well, the weather is still a bit strange isn’t it, I’m sure this time last year we were having a heatwave!

The last couple of days have been ok and I’ve ben able to get outside for a couple of hours.

Sharing some more ATC’s with you, most of these were for swaps but the doodles ones were sent as RAK’s.

 

Lots of different mediums used, with lots of inkiness and stamps.

Thanks for your visit I really do appreciate!

 

Lovely and Bright!

 Hello

How are you all?

 The card I’m sharing today was for a crafty friend’s birthday back in December.

It’s an 8 x 8 card using JND dies and a woodware stamp coloured with zig Real Colour Brushes.

 

 

Thanks for visiting I really do appreciate it!

Happy Mistake!

Hello

Well, this not so little card turned out to be a labour of love.... my first attempt at stamping the greeting straight on to the card was not successful as it was upside down, so I then turned it over and started again, first stamp impression not so good so stamped again and the paper moved so got a blurry image.

Time to give up I said but I'd already shared with our what's App group and someone suggested stamping the happy again on a piece of scrap and mounting it but I'd already cut the card so I could use the back!

So, it was saved and altered and I'm very pleased with it......

Woodware stamp, distress inks, stencils, greeting stamp was gift with mag.

ATC's

Hello

  

How are we all?

My poor Mr Pickle spent the night under the floor boards.

He didn’t make any sound until the following morning. I said to my hubby that’s not good he hasn’t been home all night and then I heard a meow. He’s here somewhere I said, so I searched all the rooms and couldn’t find him then I heard another meow and hubby said he must be under the floor boards and sure enough the poor little thing was, he’d snuck in while hubby was finishing of some pipe work. He was a little stressed, had a look around then came for a little fuss. I just don’t understand why he wasn’t making a LOT more noise?

On to my ATC’s, both sets for a Face Book swap.

The first theme was Circus, didn’t have anything suitable but a friend lent me some paper pads and I managed these.

Second theme was a single colour and/or a variation of. I used Zig Clean Colour real brushes with a Woodware stamp.

 I like how these turned out!

Thanks for your visit, I really do appreciate it!

Woodware

Hello

Todays cards are all the same but just different colourways.

The stamp used was a woodware and I masked the centre section and stamped at the top and the 

bottom and added a verse in the masked space. 

They were coloured with prisma pencils.

Thanks for your visit I really so appreciate it x

Sister

Hello

This card was for my sister, really love these Woodware stamps, coloured with watercolour paints.

Thanks for visiting!

Hello All

What fantastic weather we had for Easter, I sure hope it's a sign of things to come. If I remember correctly this time last year was the same.

A selection of cards using a Woodware stamp and coloured with Brushos with a little white pearl Pixie powder.

 I used a card making magic die for the matting.

As always thanks for your visit!

Oxides

 Hi All

I've had a little play with the oxides, they are not mine but I will be buying a few I think but not all of them as I find some colours a bit flat.

So I stamped my image which was a Woodware stamp and I tried to make a background with it. I embossed the image with embossing powder using black and white for different effects and off I went with the oxides, then just added a sentiment.

Distress oxides, Woodware stamp and the sentiment was a mag freebie.

I'm sharing some news one of my crafty friends had, she was one of the three who won 

Designer of the Year for Papercraft Magazines. 

We didn't know she had entered till she told us she had won,

she so deserved it her work is fabulous!

Thanks for your visit x

80th

Hello 

I so enjoyed making this card for one of my crafty friends, we had a little tea party at our Tuesday night class.

It's what they call an eclipse card and you can the original here, I made the insert by stamping in the corners and also decorated the envelope with the same stamp but forgot to take photos.

 I've also got another on the go for my sister in law for January....lol

Brittania and Presscut dies, Woodware stamps coloured with Promarkers.

Update on BIL is no significant change, we visited on Saturday and it was heartbreaking!

As always thanks for your visit, I really do appreciate it x

JND Media Plates

Hello

I had a busy day on Saturday, we had my nieces baby shower which was lovely and she received some beautiful gifts and then on Saturday evening I went to see Mama Mia at the theater with a some work colleagues. 

I wasn't sure I would enjoy it as never seen one at the theater before but it was fantastic I so enjoyed it.

So on to my little card, which was for a crafty friend.

 I've not long had JND media plates, so I've been having a play, love the backgrounds that can be created this was my first attempt.

I made a few fairy ones but have a terrible feeling that I forgot to take any photos and I really liked them...lol

Frankie is doing fine, although a bit naughty, she has just been spayed, thanks for asking Alison.

Thanks for popping by!

Maxine from maximumcrafts did to demonstrate the die.

  Thanks for visiting!

Hi All

This must be the quickest card I've ever made. Only forgot my nephew's birthday and I've not forgotten in over 30 years. 

It was Monday, so I got home made a card (it's probably missing a bit of finesse) and dropped it round the same evening so technically it wasn't late.... 

That's what making Christmas cards does to you....lol

Woodware stamp and promarkers and tried to use colours of his fav footie team
