Sea Street: with Baby Wipe technique

Hi Folks,

Hooray the sun in shining!! At least for now. Give it another 15 minutes and it could be pouring with rain again. Anyhow, that’s neither here nor there. When I’m in my craft room I’m in my own personal little heaven 🙂 .

You’ve gotta get this Sea Street Stamp Set! It’s so cute!

 

Today I have a cute little card technique for you. It’s the amazing Baby Wipe technique and I just love it!!! I hope you like it too. Check out my video and don’t forget to leave me a comment/like. I love to hear from you all. As a ‘thank you’, I will enter all blog comments on this post, to a free draw to win the demonstrated card (closes noon 7th July, 15), so do watch out for an update if you are chosen. Open to U.K only I’m afraid as I think there are legal restriction re ballots otherwise. Sorry. 😦

Painted Petals: Friends become our chosen Family

Hi Folks,

I hope you’ve all had a lovely Easter Break. Well I thought I would give you a break from Easter Bunnies and do something totally different. This is a quick card I’ve made as a gift for a lifetime friend. It’s a relatively simple card however it’s great fun to do and I love the distressed effect of the spritzing. Design credit for this card goes to Julie Davison. I had noticed her card on Pinterest and just loved it. What do you think of my take on it? (and don’t forget to check out the quick video tutorial below)

Greetings Card

Card, Tag and Plaque

I used my inkpad to distress the little plaque and sprayed with a silicone sealant.

don’t forget to decorate the wrapping tissue

the whole package, including gift bag

and how do you like my gorgeous little Blackberry Bliss teddy 🙂

 I love the perfect coordination of Stampin’ Up! products. I think my little teddy agrees 😉

To make the video shorter, I tried a new format (in other words I did very little talking lol). I would love your feedback on it as I’m not at all sure. 🙂

Happy Bunny: – Screen card – the joys of spring

Hi Folks,

Welcome to another video blog.

Whilst this video uses a brayer technique, if you are completely new to ‘brayering’, I would advise you check out my Sheltering Tree video, which explains the technique in more depth. I will, when I get an opportunity, create a ‘How to ….’ page to cover techniques and tools. 🙂

In the meantime, I just can’t stop playing with this little stamp. I love it so much!

Whilst the stamp is sold specifically as an Easter stamp it is easily adapted for many other occasions and I’ve enjoyed having a little play around with it. I hope you enjoy it too.

Drop me a quick comment and let me know what you think. I would love to hear from you.

Don’t forget to check out the video tutorial too! 🙂

This little bunny is more versatile that you would think 🙂
