Another Ladies Diary card...

Morning!

I promised you another card using my lurrrvly Graphic 45 A Ladies Diary papers didn't I.....

 

This is an 8x8 and it was really a quick one to make, also I didn't use very much of my precious papers either!

I bulked it up by using a large embossed background, and just added a couple swirls pearls and metal bits.

Hope you like it.

Fave use it up...

Good morning!

It's been a busy ole time and then I did need to take a couple of quiet days.

Ok, excuses done with, here's a card...

 

This was my fave from the 'use it up' batch from a while ago..

Everything except the card blank was from the bag.

I painted the tailors dummy, inked the edged and stamped my bestest fave Clarity sentiment.

I also daubed some versamark reinker round the edges to hold lots of gold embossing.

Hope you like it.

Clarity Bunny bag...with choccy!

Happy Monday to you!

Did you catch the Claritystamp shows yesterday?

It was lovely to see Amber's creations shown, especially as she has not been rubber stamping much lately, but she now seems all interested in making ATC'S. Thank you to everyone who sent Amber lovely comments!

 

I had trouble deciding which of my makes to show you first....

 

So I settled for this one, i really loved working with these bunnies, just don't tell Milly Posh Paws as she gets jealous...

I stamped the bunnies and glazed them, then added some PanPastels.

I used the letterbox kit with the number kit or the wording.

And you can't send a gift bag without something in it can you, I had to take the Malteser bunnies out of packaging and put in cello bags, so no unauthorised advertising on tv!

The mask used is a Splodge, the paw punch is an EK.

Thanks or stopping by!

A lot less is more..

Good afternoon to you!

I spotted this cool sketch at Less is More

 

Erm, blogsy is telling something or other about not wanting to use the pic of sketch, so it might not appear..how very rude!

Anyway, here is a quickie using a piece of Kraft card and a couple of scraps from next to my trimmer.

 

This is actually a sketch I use often since I saw Chrissie at Less is More use it ages ago, but usually I do it toward the top of the card,don't know why..

The punch is an EK by the way.

Maybe a couple more challenges for this if I can make the link thingy work for me...

Less is More Week 104

Created with love. Anything goes

Love to create. Anything with a sentiment

Good Morning all

I thought I would show this Clarity card today, this is the one I decided was not good enough for my Northwest workshop ladies- so I kicked it to the kerb in favour of better designs!

The stamps used are

Corset Montage

Feminine

A Thing of Beauty...

Also used

Papermania 8x8 paper

Expresso Adirondack ink

Clear Powder/Versamark

Donna Salazar Spellbinders

Grand Spellbinders

EK Punch

Vintage Ribbon (dyed with inkpad)

Come back tomorrow to help judge this months Claritystampers Northwest homework....

Find time to colour!

Morning all, I actually made time to sit and colour for half an hour! I was starting to get withdrawal symptoms through lack of fumes from the alcohol markers.

Seriously, its a rare treat to sit and colour just for fun, and I definitely dont practise enough with my pens.

This is one of the new Magnolia's, I fell in love with this one as soon as I saw it on the Glitter Pot website.

I will add the Copic colours later today- they are upstairs and I am downstairs, im supposed to be getting ready to go see my Sister!

The paper is actually Christmas paper from Bo Bunny, dont tell anyone will you.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid.

Sentiment is from Claritystamp.

Edge punch is a EK Success.

Ribbon is from Papermania, I had to age it a bit with distress ink-it was too white.

Lace from my stash.

Will add colours here later.

Im gone!

Mono Skaters

Happy Wednesday!

Hope your all doing ok, all is well at Chez Simms, my sister was allowed home from hospital yesterday so fingers crossed she will be ok again for a while at least.

Todays card is another Clarity, easy as cake this one- just heat emboss and mount it up!

See you soon, over and out! lol



Over the Moon!

No not me, Maggy!

This is another of those images I forgot about, I love this one because she can sit on the edge of a die or on a bench or whatever.

I used Spelldinders for the moon, EK edge punch, flowers from Wild Orchid with a dash of Cosmic Shimmer Twinkles, bit of bling and away we go! 

oh and I coloured with PM's.

Thats it for today, still busy!

Have a good one whatever your doing.

Some Quick batch cards

Good Morning from a sunny Wirral.  I have been really busy making lots of cards, some brayered some papercrafty ones, I cant show you them all but I will show you something brayered tomorrow, but today I have just a couple of quick batch cards to show you, I have a ton of stuff that has been in the cupboards forever and needed using, I needed to get a large batch of 'clean & simple' cards together quickly so these were good to put together really fast.

This one is using a Lili Die-cut, Nellie heart, some card from a pick & mix box, EK punch and a random text stamp.

 This one uses some 6x6 FF papers and a sentiment stamp set from Clarity.

 This uses a lovely foiled butterfly from Kanban and some embossed card, EK punch, few pearls from Meiflower.

Nothing fancy or clever but worthy of a quid each for a good cause I think.

Thats it, see you tomorrow!
