Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Stocking Fillers

Hi there and welcome, today I have a quick little project to make a fab little stocking filler gift.  

This gorgeous Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! totally has my heart, it is packed with stunning florals in really pretty colour schemes suitable for lots of occasions.  It comes in 6" x 6" which is the perfect size for this project.  It's called Garden walk and the code for it is 162227.

This little box easily holds a couple of tea lights - I'm mostly loving the scented ones from Aldi at the moment!

 I teamed the floral paper with one from the Fresh as a Daisy DSP set.  I wanted a plain design for the base to offset the busy florals.

The red ribbon is the finishing touch for this sweet scented gift.   

If you would like to see how I made the box, please watch this video...

Shimmy and Shake - Stamping Sunday Blog Hop

Hellooooo, happy September! How is yours going?

We've had a few changes with eldest son returning home from Uni, currently on a quest to find work - also engaged! Eeek Mother in Law life starting next year.  Then Son no 2 has flown the nest to start Uni, studying Primary education.

In the craft studio I finally got round to ordering a beautiful sea themed stamp set.  The art work is so detailed, it's a massive reminder of why I love stamping, I can create or demonstrate in seconds what would take me hours to do with a pen. It's called Beauty of the Deep by Stampin' Up!

I thought it was perfect to create this month's 

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Shimmy and Shake

I loved the idea of creating fish swimming around in a porthole.

The background was created using some in direct to a block, sprizting on it and smooshing it onto the Basic White card, then stamped a few strands of seaweed.

The fish were stamped and fussy cut out.

So, confession time, I meant to stick the white circle frame that I had cut out onto the card, yup, I completely forgot!

I used the Time 3D embossing folder and some Gray Granite ink to create the woodgrain.

Here is a short video of how I made it.

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - You've Been Framed

Hi and welcome to the...

blog hop.

My apologies for a long abscence.  A special hello if you have arrived here via the fabulous Mikaela's blog.

The theme of "You've been Framed" helped me create this masculine style card by using a couple of the deckle edged rectangles and using them to cut a frame.

The background was stamped with a variety of images from Gorgeously Made 161193 and Watercolor World 160708, the bold Happy Birthday was stamped using Biggest Wish 155052

If you would like to watch my creative process, have a look at this video here.
