Happy Fathers Day ...

My new love are the Spellbinders Brush dies, suitable for all and look stunning.  Realised that I hadn't blogged this one, really effective I think. There are a few brush die collections; Artful Tulip (this one), Paint Your World Artful Brush, Painted Blooms & Butterfly Burst.  You can also get some sentiments which match up perfectly.  So blue mat, hand stitched, CG sentiment, brush handles were from scrap card, the rest were cut out of white Neenah and coloured with Promarkers.  A few glossy accents to finish, although I think they are so old they have become discoloured so added a new bottle to my list.

Thank you once again for popping by my little old blog today, Jane 

 

Especially for you ...

 

Managed to get my hands on the lovely Calming Koi dies & stamps along with the  water builder stencil from Altenew.  First attempt but I am really pleased with this one, certainly a few more to be made for my stash. 

Super easy to construct the little fishes, coloured with Promarkers and the stencil looks amazing don't you think. I used TH distress inks; Tumbled Glass & Salty Ocean.  My first attempt but definitely going to play around with this.  So a DL card blank, strip of Sizzix cardstock and sentiment created on the WRMK Foil quill.

Bye for now Jane 

DANCE TO YOUR OWN beet!

I am still here ha ha.  I don't craft so much in the Summer months, spending time looking after the garden instead.  Now the colder whether is on the way I will be back in my studio with plenty of creations to share with you.

Love the Anita Jeram illustrations bought to us by The Colarado Craft Company, the main image is titled Rooting for you which includes amongst other things the sentiment too.  The background stamp is titled Summer Garden.  Coloured with Promarkers, mat & layered with Sizzix Surfacez cardstock, a few gems to finish.

Happy Father's Day ...

I have used a scrapbook layout from the Silhouette Design Store for this one, by  Carina Gardner.  Nitwit papers, hand stitched as I haven't done that in a while.  CG sentiment, gorgeous new stamps from My Favourite Things; Festive Old Friend.  Coloured with Promarkers. Scraps of card, enamel dots to finish

Kick back, relax & take it easy ...

Shamefully I have to admit to owning this rubber stamp (now only available as a digi) for longer than I care to mention and this is its first inking, oops. So I came across this in my stash and decided to take care of Fathers Day. This card is a little interactive in that it has a 'tear strip' on the front which says "Kick back, relax & take it easy."  You then pull where the little crystal heart is to reveal the sentiment for Fathers Day.

I have cut all the elements on my Silhouette Cameo, Argyle embossing folder, papers & charm from my stash.  Coloured with Promarkers & pencils,  hand stitched and some pearls.

Happy Fathers Day ...

A must have stamp the 'Wild Roar' from Mama Elephant, I simply could not resist.  A long colouring session I admit but so much fun.  TH distress oxide background and I have created a scene and used some acetate to create the front of the card too.  The little panda was holding a heart so I thought I would make a mini shaker.  Hand stitched as always, thank you for popping by to my blog. 

Hap-pea Fathers Day ...

Well I have been after this stamp for absolutely years & years, then I found out that tampendous were releasing it, in the new collection and wow, I was right there ready to place my order. Well to be fair I was cruising  around the Mediterranean but my Daughter was under strict instructions to buy it immediately, bless her, thanks Elly x  It is titled 'Pea Pod Nap' and sold out quickly in many stores, it is soooo adorable, most favourite stamp ever!!!!

I have coloured with Promarkers, buttons, ribbon, gold mirri & hand stitched to finish.

The papers were of course from NITWIT COLLECTIONS from these two kits

I have decoupaged it for extra pop.  I have used

Kraft card, Co-ordinations, embossing folder, string, brads and

feathers.  The sentiment is CG and a play on words.
