Vintage or Shabby at Sweet Stampin'...

Hi everyone

Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year and you are all back to "Craft Land" with a smile......I am, and have great plans for 2016, so watch this space!

So....A Saturday in January means....Challenge time at Sweet Stampin'. "Vintage or Shabby" is the theme, so go on have a go and try to win some goodies from our sponsors "Live and Love".

I have made a 60th Birthday card for a friend of my Daughter's, so decided to use this as a Vintage Theme, hope you think it's nice! Although it's a touch too "pink" for my liking!!

The papers are from a pad I bought recently in The Works, the bunting is one of my all time favorite Memory Box dies (it's a wonder this die cuts the amount I use it!) The lovely vintage sign sentiment is a stamp by Anna Griffin.

Oooo "Christmas Presents".......yes please.

Hi All

I have a card for you using a LOTV Christmas Topper, the Stamped Sentiment is by LOTV as well.
The Poinsettia is a die by Spellbinders. I have added some bakers twine and a large metal corner embellishment. The papers are all leftovers from my box and I chose a Kraft Card base.

This is a new stamp I have only had a few weeks, and It is quite large. This is it on a 7x7 card.
It is made by Woodware and it is such fun to colour and stamp. I have decoupaged a few bits on it and covered it with Stardust Stickles (sorry you cannot see it very well, but I promise it is their).

Dies and Punches..

Hi girls.

Well as this card goes live (scheduled)...I will be flying through the air on the way to Benidorm with Mum and Sister. We last went in May, so we are soooo looking forward to going back.
We are meeting our friends at La Nucia (about 6 miles from the center of Benidorm) and other friends are already their and waiting for us.

So.... This is my card for the Challenge this week of "Use Dies and Punches" at Sweet Stampin', and our sponsors this week are "Live and Love Crafts".
Please don't forget we are a stamping challenge so some stamping somewhere (look at my card this week, it has a topper and dies and the only stamping is the sentiment, but that's acceptable!)


I have used both dies and punches on this card. I usually use these anyway, so this challenge is perfect for me.

The image is a LOTV topper and the papers are Dovecraft. The little bunting which i use all the time is a Memory Box die. The punched border is a MS punch. I have added some Stardust Stickles and a couple of Hobby House pearls. The sentiment is a Hero Art stamp.

That's an Old Stamp!!

Hello Ladies

Saturday in October means Challenge Time @ Sweet Stampin'....It's an easy one this week too, as it's "Antiques Roadshow" Which basically means "Use an old stamp".
Please remember we are a stamping challenge so you must stamp somewhere, ta.

I have chosen one of my little Easels for this week, oh I love making these.
I start by stamping a script stamp on the actual easel frame, then I work on the little topper for the frame.
I used some Pion Papers cut up and a few cut aparts from Graphic 45 papers. I have also used a large enamel heart button. The "Antiques roadshow old stamp" bit is one of my all time favorite Sentiment Stamps which I have had since I first began crafting (what feels like a hundred years ago!)
This "Live in the Moment" Stamp (by Hero Arts) has been used by me on so many projects It is always a "go to" for little projects like this..

Sweet Stampin' "Wheels" Challenge

Hello Girlies
I have scheduled this post as I am off "Spending" today...I will be at Port Sunlight "Happy Stamper" show, ooooo love it their. Come say hi if you are around.


Gosh, doesn't time fly, it's October already and only (28 days off my next holls to Benidorm with Mum and Sister) Yipeeeeee

So it's Saturday again, so another Sweet Stampin's Challenge for you and it's "Wheels" this week...
Our Sponsors are "US" so a goodie bag is up for grabs!
Please remember we are a STAMPING challenge, so you must stamp somewhere to be in the draw.

I am not very keen on the card I came up with, but I was having a play, so at the end of the day, it's all good fun.
The lovely stamps are freebies off a magazine I bought ages ago and the mask is by Clarity. I used a couple of Tim inks as the background. Wanted to keep it C&S and just play about with inks really.
