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).

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.

Pretty Gift Box tutorial

I made this box recently for my Mother-in-law's birthday.

It was filled with her favourite chocolates. 

I used mirri card for the bottom and papers from an old stack

from We R Memory keepers for the lid.

I had some nice blue ribbon which made a lovely big bow.

I cut out a die shape and stamped the sentiment and name

using Happy Birthday to You and Alphabest stamp sets (SU).

I cut some birds from the leftover papers to decorate.

As I haven't done a box tutorial for ages I decided

to give the old grey matter a shake and do one!

I did make it smaller than my first one but you can make this box

any size you want and the design will work.

For this one I used papers from Paper Discovery and some

co-ordinating card for the base from my stash.

It was decorated using punched flowers and leaves.

The sentiment was stamped using Itty Bitty Birthdays (SU)

and finished with some gems.

You can watch my tutorial here

I have some midway inspiration for our anything goes

challenge over at

Tag-along (and ATC's)

For my tag I used a piece of light green card for my base.

I added some yellow ink with my blending brush.

Then I stencilled some stripes in dark green

and stamped some script in black.

The leaf has been cut in dark green card and the

sentiment was cut from a scrapbooking paper set

from years ago.

I punched the corners to make my shape and

added some dark green gems and bakers twine to finish.

Gorgeously Made stamps and dies (SU)

Best trio corner punch (SU)

and added to my atc.

I finished with some doodling and inked

around the edges.

Guitar man!

I had a birthday card to make for my youngest brother

and he is into his guitars.

I followed a sketch over at

Cheerful Sketches Challenge for the layout.

The papers are from a pack called Rock & Roll (SU).

I used different ones for the layers and

also cut three guitars from the papers and coloured them

using parakeet party markers.

The sentiments are from a set called

Music - play on sentiments from Paper Discovery.

I die cut some music notes using a die from them

as well called Lost in Music musical panels.

I finished with some matching gems and

his name which was computer generated.

May all your DRUMS.....

Another family birthday card,

this time for my brother Tony who love his drums.

Again I have followed the sketch over at

Try Stampin' on Tuesday.

I treated myself to some Paper Discovery sets a while ago

but have only played with the dies, not the stamps.

So out they came for Tony. They were bought with him in mind.

The stamp set is called Music Play On and I also used another

set from the same bundle called Play On Textures.

The base is white card, layered with Pear Pizzazz card (SU)

and an old card from my stash, (Brenda Pinnick).

Everything was stamped in memento.

I love the drum sentiment, perfect for Tony lol.

I used oval dies for the sentiment and I added

some black dots to make it stand out more.
