Stamp Something DT Card-Favourite Stamp

Afternoon everyone! Tis Friday and that means it's time for another Stamp Something DT card! Great theme we've got for you this week-use your favourite stamp or stamp set! Fun one right? We've also started a top 5 each week so another incentive to play! I recently won the Miss Anya dressy set and I'm lovin these sweeties so just had to use one for my project this week! Must say it took me ages to actually make this card as it just wasn't 'working' then I looked at miss anya and the way I'd coloured her and thought she looked like santas little helper! And so it became a Christmas card and it all came together!

Stuff: Miss Anya Dressy set available here (get em quick!) coloured with copics, MME laundry line and Christmas papers available here (frame die cut from paper pack), sewing machine, core'dinations cardstock, organza ribbon from stash, mcgill and xcut punch for flowers, woodware grass punch, spacer available here.

The layout is from the gorgeous sketch at Stamp With Fun and over at Crafty Creations they want to see us use 3 or more pieces of patterned paper so am entering it there too. I really enjoyed seeing your creations last week so please do join us again! Thanks for popping by today and for any comments you might leave for me-they make my day! Huggles

Something Festive!

Hi everyone! Got something a bit unseasonal to show you today! I'm actually still not 100% happy with it, I can't tell you the amount of times I've done and re-done it it but I think this is as good as I'm gonna get it right now. I'm entering it over at Whimsy and Cute Card Thursday which both want to see something Christmassy/wintery and Stamp with Fun who want to see shapes and/or punches. Haven't had much tome to craft as Leo and Ian are both poorly! It's also been a bit busy round here this week with Leo's granddad coming to visit, having playdates, and general running about!

Stuff: Magnolia stamp colored with promarkers, flowersoft (hood), stickles (hood), basicgrey papers, core'dinations card, buttons from the button company, nesties, distress inks, raffia, hero arts sentiment, sizzix die (holly), pearls, SU ribbon.

Have got some new goodies to play with so I'm going to go do that now Leo has finally gone sleepies. Still no Magnolia summer kit though........can you believe it? Anyways...thanks for stopping by and any comments you might leave-they make my day! Don't forget to pop over to Pile It On and check out the fab challenge this week-the only challenge blog that WANTS you to combine challenges! Huggles

Friday Sketchers....and more!

Evening everyone! Ooo another hot hot day! I saw that the new Magnolia stamp club has started shipping! Wohooo! I've had a lovely relaxing day today-been in the hairdressers for 3 hours so feel much better now-my pink is all lovely again and I've caught up with all the celeb goosip from the magazines-never get chance to read them these days-too busy stamping!

My card today is for a few challenges-firstly Friday Sketchers-I only just realised I hadn't played yet and it is one of my faves. I've used turquoise and brown which is the challenge at Stamp with Fun, and Stamp Something would like to see at least 3 embellies and as you can see I used some bling and buttons. I've used another of my new whiff of joy lovelies-maybe this is my new fave-it reminds me of the first time I held Leo:)

Stuff: Whiff of Joy stamp coloured with Promarkers and woj sentiment, Basic Grey Two Scoops paper, core'dinations card, Martha Stewart punch, Prima flowers, Prima crystals, buttons from stash, distress inks.

I've changed my background again-I think I actually like this one and it goes with my banner the best me thinks. Off to watch Big Brother! Huggles

Simon Says Tim Holtz and Stamp with Fun-Not a Card!

A really fun project to show you today! I went mental with my distress inks and all my fun things that are tim holtz! I made this box from a SplitCoastStampers tutorial here. If you haven't been over there you really should, their forums are just jam packed with super cool stamping stuff! Even if you're not good at making boxes and bags and stuff I promise you'll find this easy. I'm entering this over at the Simon Says Challenge (use any Tim Holtz products) and the Stamp with Fun (not a card). I used about 5 stamps on this box only one of which wasn't Tim Holtz-and I've used a ton of distress inks:). Just to clarify ALL the images you can see have been stamped! For the filler inside I used rafia and outside to tie I used some twine. I was gonna use this as a gift box but I've decided to keep it:) It's an ideal little gift box though isn't it! So here's what I used:

Materials: Basic Grey cardstock 12 x 12 urban prairie, chipboard, distress inks in peeled paint-tattered rose-walnut stain-black soot-tea dye, Tim Holtz stamps, hero arts french letter background stamp, raffia and twine from hardware shop.

Hope everyones had a lovely day! Thank you for stopping by and for any comments you may leave which truly make my day to hear your feedback! See yas tomorrow!
