Hi there, I'm Ruth from Artful Stampin and welcome to another Stamping Sunday Blog Hop.
My apologies for not making last month's hop, October seemed to just run away with me. We're planning to move house soon so there has been lots of decluttering, sorting and clearing to do.
So the theme this month is to make some tags, either with a box or 3 different ways. I opted for the box as I'm trying to get better at box making.
Here is the box with my set of tags
This is the lid of the box which I stamped with the Poinsettia Petals stamp set and then decorated with some die cuts from the matching set of dies.
To see all the products used in this project go {here}
Here is a quick tutorial showing how I made these
To make the box base cut card 8 3/4 x 5 1/2 inches and score 1 inch all the way around.
To make the lid cut card 8 1/4 by 5 inches and score just under 3/4 inches all the way around.
The inside divider was made by cutting card 3 1/2 inches by 8 1/4.
Do check out the other bloggers and their fabulous projects

So I have got into the swing of swap making for the upcoming Stampin' Up! get together in November. As a result I have several videos lined up for the next few weeks... yay!
I love using Brushos for my creative work and workshops, the results are so instant and satisfying and unpredictable. I know that might cause an issue for crafters who like to be a little more in control, but I actual enjoy the wait and see aspect of crafting with these powders. For those of you who are not familiar with them, they are pots of highly pigmented powders that can be sprinkled on to your work then spritzed with water, or mixed with water to create a watercolour paint.

Today's One Sheet Wonder is a nod to those last days of summer. As we head into Autumn, the temperatures are dropping here in mid Wales, however we are still enjoying some sunny days, long may they continue!
Here I have combined two photopolymer stamp sets.
Abstract Impressions and Playful Backgrounds, and the colours I have used are

Life has been busy in my house, my eldest son had his GCSE results recently and I am pleased to announce he did well and has been able to study the subjects he wanted at A level. My 3rd son has just started High School and the school has revamped their uniform to a smart blazer and tie, so the obligatory first day at school picture just has to be shared!
A friend requested a special card for a couple celebrating their diamond wedding anniversary, she wanted a Bible verse (sorry not a Stampin' Up! stamp), and requested pink and sparkly.
I cut out all the elements and assembled it during a live broadcast, I've taken the video and edited it to give you an idea of the process, enjoy!

Hi there, thank you for popping in on my blog today.
This post is jam packed with new goodies and techniques.
It focuses particularly on the Painted glass stamp set and Stained Glass thinlet dies.
When I have a new stamp set and die on my craft table, I like to play with it lots to get to know what it can do and also to show you the potential of it.
The cards below are fairly simple in design, but have lots of texture and detail.
Here I have layered circles and the stained glass shapes to create a focal point around the coloured in butterfly.
I used the Stampin' Blends markers, which incidentally are back in stock!
The dies from this set cut such delicate designs and create the perfect background to these butterflies.
Using the embossing mats to create texture is such a fun and simple technique.
The stained glass image is just perfect for colouring in. It was so relaxing.
And here is a pretty easel card to how off the design
Enjoy the video as I go into more detail of how I made the cards.
