Vintage Shopping List

Good morning!

As you may know, I had a busy day on craft stalls this weekend, so I thought I would share with you one of my most popular items.

These magnetic shopping lists went down a storm! This one has used Modern Medley DSP, a doily and a butterfly from Best Of Butterflies to decorate this. Isn't it pretty?

If you would like to buy any of the products I have used here, or in any of my projects, please do click through to my online shop using the link on my sidebar.

I am starting a new Stampers 6 club in January, just in time for the new Sale-a-Bration promotion, where you will receive free products for every £45 spend! If you would like to know more about Stampers 6, you can read about it here, or feel free to contact me with any queries.
I have only 3 spaces left!

Thanks for popping by today!

A Male Butterfly?

Good morning!

I love Saturday mornings! You know why? Less is More challenge gets me up and at 'em! And this morning is no exception! The fab challenge for this week is...

Use Designer Paper In A CAS Way

I don't use designer paper enough...I have tonnes of it lying around, so this could be the way forward...

I have used the Modern Medley DSP for my card and inked the edges using Cherry Cobbler and Chocolate Chip. I placed it under my aperture, cut using the Ovals Framelits.

The butterfly (or is it a dragonfly?) is from Best Of Butterflies and after I inked it with Cherry Cobbler, I then stamped it off 3 times onto scrap paper, then inked it with Basic Black before stamping. It has given a slightly red/brown colour. The sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes was inked the same way, then stamped into place using my Stamp-a-Majig.

I think this is the first time I have used a butterfly stamp set to make a male birthday card!

I have a busy day of card commissions and dog walking today...what have you got planned? Whatever it is, enjoy!

CASEd notebooks

Good morning all!

It's a frosty one here again! I think winter is well and truly upon us now!

When I went on the brilliant Pinkies craft reward day a few weeks ago, we had a swapping session, and this is the swap I got from the wonderful Michelle Last...

I loved this so much that when I was looking for some inspiration earlier this week for my notebooks, I decided to CASE it. So here are my takes on Michelle's stunning card...

I used Modern Medley DSP, Best of Butterflies, Swallowtail, Chalk Talk Bundle, and Labels Framelits to create my little collection of notebooks. What do you think? 

It's a quick one from me today as I am working, and I have lots of Christmas orders to finish!

Enjoy your Friday!

Lots of butterflies!

Morning all!

I have a card that isn't a thank you card for a change!

I have used one of my all time favourite stamp sets, Papillon Potpourri for this card, stamping the butterflies onto vellum, in Pool Party and Midnight Muse. I also used one of the Best Of Butterflies as it goes with the Elegant Butterfly punch too.

The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Pairs and is also in Midnight Muse. The aperture was cut using the Chalk Talk Framelits. I think it really makes the sentiment stand out, don't you? I have CASEd the idea from Margaret and this card. It is something I have done in the past but sometimes you just need reminding of different techniques, especially when there really are so many out there!

Something A Little Different!

Good morning!

I have been busy with commission wedding cards this week, but I am unable to show them just yet, So here is a little something different I made the other week. I have started doing more reading lately, particularly at work on my lunch break, and I was using a blank betting slip as a bookmark lol! (I work in a bookies, I'm not a compulsive gambler!) So here is what I made...

Now, I admit, I have used a retired designer paper and ribbon, but I couldn't resist! I did use the current Woodgrain Embossing Folder and a beautiful butterfly from the gorgeous Best Of Butterflies Stamp set. I stamped it in Blushing Bride and added some nail gems for a bit of sparkle.

I now feel proud to get my bookmark out in public!

Have you ever used something other than a bookmark to keep your page in a book? I used to turn corners down when I was much younger but then I learnt to respect books!
