I created this for the August 2014 Craft stamper ‘Take it, make it‘, it is the first time I have entered anything like this and I enjoyed the opportunity to play around and challenge myself. NOTE: sadly I missed out uploading this by the cut off (I blame the International Date Line), but I still […]
My brother’s birthday was in July, and he is a big fan of cats (like all my family). I have a tin of Cavallini & Co vintage cat poster stickers, and I found one that actually has July on it – a Harper’s cover from what I can tell. Because I am trying to use […]
The second person to leave was a workmate who has moved to Melbourne, as her partner lives there. L is obsessed with all things French, so I used that as her theme. Stamp Stampington’s ‘Visit to Paris‘ by Claudine Hellmuth onto smooth coated cardstock with Versafine ink. Edge in blue ink, layer onto black cardstock, […]
This was for D’s sister, her birthday was in June. He was after something ‘not girly’, so I had to have a think about it, and what papers and stamps I have. I went with a steampunk themed card using Graphic 45’s Steampunk Debutante collection.
Recently Daedalist requested a card for a male family member. I decided to try out some new things I had to play with, and a different colour scheme to my usual ones. I think it is quite striking.
So I am on leave this week, sick leave to be exact. I wasn’t allowed to drive yesterday or today after having an operation, and so today I decided to set myself some crafting challenges for the week. First up, using papers and embellishments (mostly papers) that I have scattered all over my work desk […]
This is for a family member, I posted it off last week so I hope it arrives soon. And because of the embellishments I actually put it in a padded envelope, so no need for a stamp on the card envelope. It was actually very difficult to come up with a concept and colour palette, […]
I waited until the people I sent them to got these, but they should have been received by now: Steampunk Christmas Trees Several versions, all made up with a big key stamp as the trunk and cogs and gears as the branches. I really liked this design, was very happy with it. A wooden […]
This is the gift bags I decorated (they were plain white bags) and the matching gift tags for the girls at work The bag has a vintage christmas image layered onto patterned paper, then onto gold paper, then onto the bag. The gift tags used offcuts of decorative paper, and I hand lettered each person’s […]
These are the cards I made for the girls at work. They wanted traditional, and I decided to go with square cards this year. The method was the same for all the cards. I had some lovely vintage style papers that were too nice to use as layering papers. They were larger than the cardstock […]
