Got catnip?

Last one for today.   I have used an old wooden mounted stamp for this card, but I have to say I love it which is why I have kept it.  All the paper is from a paper stack magazine/book and the sentiment is from a set of cat sentiments.

I would like to enter this into The paper players whose challenge this week is a sketch

On a roll

So here is my second card for today.  I have made this because I just love this stamp which was a freebie from creative stamping magazine a while back and I have to say I think the sentiment is a favourite of mine at the moment.  The sentiment is by Lisa Horton

I would like to enter this card into

One layer

So  I like to challenge myself and this week I read the rules and have used just one layer and the image features petals which is also a requirement.  The stamp is from a crafters companion collection and has been coloured using spectrum noir alcohol pens

Oh wise one

I was looking at challenges and found the paper players who wanted clean and simple and paper piecing, well I hadn’t done this technique for ages, so looked out a stamp that I thought would be suitable for paper piecing and found this woodware owl.  The owl has been paper pieced with scrap paper that I had left over from other projects, great for using these up.  So I made one card and then made another one using what I had left from the first owl.

Today I have gone for a clean and simple card again, I have used Tim Holtz dies to cut the flowers and an alternations embossing folder for the brickwork, and the butterfly is a Sizzix die.  The sentiment is from tonic.

A bit of steampunk

I saw the sketch on sketch Saturday and immediately thought of cogs. So I die cut the cogs and the steampunk butterfly and used silver gilding wax on them both.   First outing for these dies and I can see them being used some more

Today I have made a thinking of you card.  I have used A Phill Martin stamp with Harmony inks and black and white cardstock.  A very simple card but I think very effective

Clean and simple

Having a mare of a day today, have done colouring stamping, embossing but nothing has gone together to make a card, so I was checking on challenges and thought I could manage to enter into Addicted to CAS whose challenge this week is humour.

Work just gets in the way

Work just seems to get in the way of crafting and  I usually only have Friday, Saturday and Sunday available to make cards, but as I have an extra day off this week I have been having a play. I have made a new home card for my stash.  I have used a really old stamp that I have had for years,  I know it was a Craft Barn own range stamp.  It has been coloured with  promarkers and used a brick embossing folder and added a metal key.

I would like to enter this into Just Us Girls, whose challenge this week is Houses
