Double Post

It's time for my midway post for

STAMPING SENSATIONS

where the theme is use your fav stamp/anything goes.

Just remember to stamp and name the

company the stamp is from.

We do of course have a lovely prize!

For my card I used a stamp from Beyond Stamping

for the man.

I also used stamps from Paper Discovery for the

sentiment and guitars.

The paper is from Rock and Roll pack (SU).

I used a woodware punch for the music notes.

Everything has been coloured with markers.

Some sentiments also came from

A Grand Kid and Approaching Perfection (SU).

Over at

We Love Stamping

we have a theme of hearts/anything goes.

We also have a lovely prize here too 

so come and join in both challenges!

For my card I dug out an old stamp set

from Gorjuss Girls called

I gave you my heart.

She has been colour us with markers

and cut out.

I used some old SU papers and machine

stitched around the edges.

I die cut a heart from Tattered Lace and stitched

around this too.

I stamped my sentiment and hearts in red

using a few sets from SU called

Alphabest, Happy Birthday to you,

Circle Sayings, A Grand Kid and Yay You.

I finished with the sentiments and some

red ribbon and some card candi.

Little snippets!

I took a little time out to have a play

and use up some snippets to join in the challenge at

Snippets Playground.

I pulled these out of my scrap box along with a very

old pack of LOTV stamped images I got free with a magazine

a long time ago.

The pieces look big but they really aren't and the card

is just a note size card 3 1/2" x 5"

but it will make a cute gift card for my granddaughter one day.

The stamp set I used is called  Circle Sayings (SU)

and the ink is polished pink (SU).

I added some lace from my stash and punched

a tiny little flower in pink and lilac leftovers

and finished with a little gem.

She has been coloured up with my markers.

I'm sharing a card and gift box I made

for my son Deaglan's birthday this April.

The gift box is the same as the one I made for

St. Patrick's Day (HERE) and the card is a Teepee one.

Tutorial can be found here.

Dec does triathlons so I covered each side

with swimming, running and cycling.

The papers are from SU along with the stamp set

which is called Do the Impossible.

I also used Circle Sayings and Family Party stamp sets.

I designed these gift holders a few months back

but only got the chance to make the video!

You just need a 6" x 6" sheet to make one

and they are the perfect size for money or gift card

with a little tag at the back to write on.

This is the back pocket for the tag which you could

add some decoration to if you were inclined.

I have made a bunch to have for a lot of occasions

as that is mostly what we give as gifts now.

You can watch my video tutorial here

After such a warm night it is now freezing cold and

the wind would cut you!

Walk done, hubby heading to golf so

after a tiny bit of housework I will finish off

bits I need for Christmas.

Who has their tree up?

I need someone to give me a shove in that direction!!

At the seaside!

It's my turn to choose the theme for the next two weeks at

TAG TUESDAY

and I want to see anything with a seaside theme.

For my first tag I have used a set called Circle Sayings.

I coloured the central image with my markers then

stamped cut, coloured and layered the little shells to decorate.

The sentiment was stamped above and I finish

with a knotted bow.

I did add some wink of stella but you couldn't 

catch it with my photo.

Our new theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

has been chosen by Sandie and she has made it very easy

with her 'anything goes' theme.

As our Grandson Tom's birthday is tomorrow I

thought I would make a little tag for his presents.

The background paper is from Bright and Beautiful dsp.

The cupcakes have been paper pieced at the bottom

and coloured with my markers for the tops.

I added the sentiment and some stars to finish it off.

I hope you get time to join us!!

Tag Tuesday challenge

Our new challenge theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

has been chosen by Michele and it's

Marie Antoinette!

I was a bit stumped trying to think of what stamps I had that

would fit the theme.

So I went with opulence and cut the tag out of More Dazzle paper.

I then stamped the cupcake from Circle Sayings and the

sentiment is computer generated.

I don't think Marie Antoinette actually said that in real life

but it was used in the film remake.

I finished with a piece of ribbon stapled to the top.

We are expecting Storm Jocelyn tonight,

again with very strong winds and yellow warning in place.

Stay safe everyone!
