A little birdie told me to!

In an effort to use up some more of my stash

I designed this little folio

using one sheet of 12" x 12" paper (SU).

I filled it with my previously made ATCs

along with some new tags and paperclip pockets

and mini notebook.

shopping, gardening and crafting.

Have a good one whatever you are up to.

Time for more pink!

It's time for our midway post over at

TAG-ALONG (and ATC's)

where the optional theme is

add a little or a lot of pink.

For my tag I made the background on my gelli plate

using lace and pink and white acrylic paints.

I then stamped some text using

Gorgeously Made stamps (SU).

I then stamped the blueberries using

Berry Blessings (SU) and green

and blue inks.

I then ran the tag through my sewing machine

and inked around the edges.

I stamped the sentiment onto a circle

and added some lace and

bakers twine for texture.

I finished with a pearl heart

and some natural fibres in blue.

Pretty Folio and pen

I have made another folio to use up my 12 x 12 stash.

This one used papers from K & Company and My Mind's Eye

along with some Soft Sea Foam card.

I saw a folio made by May May on YouTube which sparked

an idea and this is what I ended up with.

The front is magnetised and I added a matching pen.

Inside there are note cards and a jotter

decorated with stickers, machine stitched and some stamping.

Flip another page and you get some pockets holding

another little note book and some pretty tags.

It is full of nice friendship and inspirational quotes.

More Silhouettes

It's the second week of Michele's theme

Silhouettes

over at Tag Tuesday.

 I used the Silhouette Scenes stamp set along with

some gorgeous autumnal looking papers.

The image was stamped directly onto the paper and

matted onto some black card.

I stamped a sentiment on to some vellum and wrapped it

around my tag. Quick and easy!

Stamping for Spring

For my mid month project over at

Stamping Sensations

 I have used

Good Morning Magnolia stamp set.

Stamped and gold embossed, then water coloured

using my aqua painter with granny apple green,

old olive and polished pink ink pads.

I then water coloured the background using balmy blue.

Using the wink of stella brush I coloured the flower,

then splattered the whole card using the tip of the brush.

It doesn't show up well in the photo but nice and sparkly

in real life.

The sentiment is from Silhouette Scenes stamp set,

stamped in polished pink.

I mounted onto matching card and then to my base card.

Don't forget we have a great prize up for grabs!!

Silhouette Scenes tag

This is the second week of Michele's theme

Mostly Monochrome

over at Tag Tuesday.

For this tag I have used

Silhouette Scenes stamp set

sadly retiring soon,

which I stamped in memento ink.

I then stamped the wording in basic gray

and added some clouds inked in basic gray too.

I punched it with the Scallop Tag Topper punch

and matted onto black card.

It has been finished with a bit of black ribbon,

and a tiny punched heart in red.

Silhouette Scenes Engagement/Anniversary Card

Happy Monday!

Our challenge last week was to make a monochromatic project.

I hadn't inked up this particular stamp yet from the

Silhouette Scenes stamp set

so thought it would work perfectly along with a scrap

from the Plaid Tidings papers.

The sentiment is from the same stamp set and

I got the heart stamp from Meant to Be set.

Would make a nice Engagement or Anniversary card.
