{November planner insert}

I've finally got around to sharing this on my blog. The video was actually filmed back in October when I visited my sister. I love how I can use Stampin' Up! products to create a piece of art to put in my planner.

Here is the video

And remember that there is 25% off these selected stamp sets for the whole of November!

{Gorgeous Grunge}

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this stamp set! It;s so useful for filling in blank spaces, or mock colouring in or just playing with it to create pattern. It is available with 20% off until Friday!  So that means only £17.60 on wood mount or £14.40 for clear mount.

Here is a montage of different cards etc using it.

And here is a card with a video using Gorgeous Grunge and a lovely Christmas set called All Ye Faithful that is available in the seasonal catalogue (until stocks last).  I also show you how to use the Stampamajig.

{Dove of Peace stamp - Grungy style}

Ok, so this card was a bit of an experiment, so instead of filming the making of it I've had to explain the steps. I love how it turned out, and it was fun raiding my stash of stamps to find patterns for the background, they included... Everything Eleanor, Perpetual Birthday Calendar, Butterfly Basics, Kinda Eclectic, Gorgeous Grunge and Dove of Peace

This stamp is so pretty and lovely to work with.  If you love spending some time colouring in, you'll love the detail on it.  It's available on wood mount and has a lovely Bible verse sentiment on it too, I have actually cut the sentiment and the dove apart and mounted just the dove so I can use the two elements separately. 

I'm loving the new Fine Tip Glue Pen. It's great for adding a glossy accent to detailed stamps. It's going to be available from Sept 1st.

~{Symbolic Easter Stamping}~

After a busy month of Stampin' Up! parties and events, it was really nice to sit at my craft table and do some stamping just for me.  

I wanted to create an Easter image that described my reflections on Easter time.  That although Good Friday is the celebration of a death, it is a death that was meaningful and continues to be meaningful for me.

As I got a couple of unwanted marks on the card in the video, I remade it the next morning, and instead of using the Hardwood stamp I use one from Gorgeous Grunge to create a cross shape.

Ingredients:

Gorgeous Grunge (Blood and Cross)

Kinda Eclectic (Light Beams)

Serene Silhouettes (Thorns)

Another Thank You (heart)

Hardwood 

Real Red, Black Stazon, Hello Honey and Sahara Sand.

Hi there, writing this very late at night, to the sound of dripping from my loft onto a bucket on the landing!  Hence I am a bit behind on blog posting and prepping for a card buffet tomorrow!

Anyway, here is a video tutorial on the card above. The photo is actually of the one I made, smudges and all!!! Just keeping it real!

I showed some of my team how to make this card at our team meeting this week, and someone asked regarding the post mark stamp..."Where's that stamp from?", I replied "New York" to which they said "No, what stamp set is it from?!", lol oops!  

This is another card using the large splatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge

Ingredients:

Butterfly Basics and Gorgeous Grunge stamp sets.

Mossy Meadow, Hello Honey and Baked Brown Sugar

-{Workshop fun}-

Had lovely morning with a lovely group of ladies doing what us stampers do best... chatting, stamping, drinking tea, stamping, chatting, punching paper, chatting, stamping.... you get my drift!

This was the table before ...

And this was the table during...

and we made 6 of these beauties...

Quote of the day..."I thought that was paper, we're going to make that?!'

The lovely Vicky of Bistro Seven (a wonderful restaurant in Welshpool) served us hot drinks and cakes.
