Time Flies: It's up to You to Navigate!

 Hi Creative Fans!

Today I am sharing a mixed media journal page using stamps available in store plus collage image and stencil from my stash.

Stamps used:

"Cogs" from Steampunk Circus Set

Dragonfly by Pam Bray Designs

Time Flies Word Stamp

I had a page in my journal that I had painted with excess paint so I decided to finish it off with a Steampunk theme.

I added texture paste through a stencil and once dried I painted over the texture with Lindy's Magicals.

I stamped the little cogs/gears stamp over the background. I added embellishments, bits of washi and book page along with a fab Steampunk college image from my local scrapbook store!

Forever February!

 Hi Creative Fans!

Today I am sharing an altered index card along with new digital download images available in store!

Products used:

February 2024 Digital Download Page designed by Pam Bray

Blocks Pattern Stencil designed by Deadseatoons

"Forever" word stamp from the Romance Classic Couples Set

I've used a 6 x 4 index card which already had a "painty" background from excess paint from another project! I used the block pattern stencil and added some texture paste.

I printed the digital page onto light cardstock and fussy cut the images I wanted to use.

I stamped the word "forever" onto fabric and sewed onto a piece of scrap patterned card by Pam Bray.

I arranged all the collage images and stamped wording onto the index card along with a vintage focal image (Tim Holtz paper doll).

To finish off I zigzagged a border with my sewing machine.

Hope you feel inspired to try something a bit different with the calendar download!

Paper Doll Dream!

Hi Stamping Fans

 Happy New Year! Can you believe it's now 2024? Time flies!

Hope one of your new year's resolutions is to make more creative time for yourself!

Today I'm sharing a journal page using some of the fabulous "clear" stamps available in store - have you seen them? Lots to choose from and a great range of little "planner" stamps for those of you who love to decorate your diaries!

I've used these items for my "arty doll" page today:

Whatever is Good Dreamer Art Doll 1 Set by Pam Bray

Sweet Passion 6 x 6 Paper Pack by Pam Bray

Dots & Spots Stencil by Donna Gray

Hearts Stencil by Magda Polakow

I used collage paper from my stash and paint for the background along with patterned stamps from the clear stamp set. 

I stamped the "corner" stamp and main doll image onto patterned paper from the Sweet Passion paper pack - just love the pink colours!

I used a "head" from a Tim Holtz paper doll and adhered to the paper doll.

I adhered all the stamped paper to the journal background and stamped the "dream" word onto the page.

Some splatters and a page border to finish off!

Easy Colourful Birthday Cards!

 Hi Stamping Fans!

Hope you have all been enjoying the creations this month! the DT have made some great projects for your inspiration!

Today I have some cards inspired by an online art journal class I did last month.

I've used Lindy's magicals to create the shiny coloured strips on the cards.

Here are the supplies I used and links to them in store:

You Make Me Happy Hummingbird Clear Stamp Set

Butterfly Breezes Clear Stamp Set

Numbers & Flowers Half Sheet Set

Steampunk Circus Stamp Set

Honey Bee Honeycomb Stencil by Miss Rach

These cards are really easy! Cut some strips of watercolor paper and use whatever you have on hand to color them - I used Lindy's Magicals - you could use watercolors, any ink sprays you have - delve into your stash!

Once dry stencil with black paint - lots of stencils in store you can use for this step! I used the "dots" from the Numbers & Flowers half set to add a few spots of black to the coloured strips.

Stamp your images on watercolor paper and color with Lindy's Magicals or whatever you used for your strips then fussy cut.

Add some white outlines and paint splatters along with your stamped images and your cards are done!

Thanks for joining me today - make sure you pop back regularly to see what the rest of the DT are creating!

Pop over to MY BLOG to get more info!

Happy stamping!

Digital Creativity!

Hi Creative Peeps!

Welcome to yet another month of the year! Look out soon it will be Xmas!

Today I am sharing some cards using digital files - yes you heard correctly there are some fabulous digital download products available in the store!

Here's the link to the Digital Section of the Store CLICK HERE

I'm using the "Fall Teal Flowers and Leaves" Set - the colours of this set are so gorgeous.

I've made 2 greeting cards - combining the digital images, red rubber stamps and clear stamps - perfect to show you how you can combine different items from the store on your creations!

Products used:

Fall Digital Files

Special Day Clear Sentiments Birthday Stamps Set by Pam Bray

Special Day Clear Sentiments Flowers Set by Pam Bray

Vintage Farm Receipt (red rubber)

Book Page (red rubber)

Digital files are great because you can print on different papers to get different effects! For my cards I printed the "tags" on plain white card and although they had some printed texture I also decided to use some the red rubber stamps listed above to add more interest to them - I used black ink on one and vintage brown on the other - love the different looks - you can use any ink colour depending on the theme you are creating!

I printed the leaves on glossy photo paper and fussy cut some out to add individually - the colours are so gorgeous - they "pop" on the glossy paper - the glossy paper would be perfect for using the whole image as a background.

I stamped sentiments from the clear stamp sets onto kraft card.

I added all the stamped elements to the card fronts and added some little Tim Holtz vintage people and bits & pieces to finish off . I love how these turned out!

We would love to see you have some fun with the new digital files and share your creations on social media so we can get some ideas from you!

Pop over to my blog for some more inspiration!

Happy stamping and crafting until next time!

Journal Ephemera!

 Hi Stamping Fans!

Hope you are all getting in some creative time! I've been busy working in my journals which seems to be my go to creative outlet at the moment!

So today I am sharing some quick little word and image ephemera for adding to your journal pages or you could also use them on cards and tags - whatever you want!

All supplies available in store:

Colour me Perfect Art Doll by Pam Bray

Whatever is Good Dreamer Art Doll by Pam Bray

Butterfly Breezes Set

Special Day Sentiments by Pam Bray

Masquerade Paper Pad by Pam Bray

Cyan Consortium Paper Pad by Pam Bray

I've used word stamps and small image stamps from the clear stamp sets - any words and small stamps will word from any of the huge range of stamps available in both stores!

I love the 6 x 6 paper pads by Pam Bray - I cut strips and layered them on double sided sticky paper - makes it quick and easy and less mess than glue! Plus when you cut out your pieces you can just peel off the backing and stick straight on your project!

Hope you have fun with this quick little project! We would love to see what you create so remember to tag us on social media or make sure you have joined our Facebook group so you can share your creations!

Wish it, Dream it, DO IT!

Hi Stamping & Crafting Fans

Hope you have all made time for stamping and creating this month!

I have another mixed media creation to share today in one of my journals.

I've used washi tape to make a background - I've used this technique before on my journal pages - washi and gesso vertically on the page in strips - this time I've used the washi horizontally after watching my local lady (where I go for classes!) create a journal page using washi.

Stamps and stencils used:

Fashionista Half Sheet

Small Diamonds Pattern Stamp

Cat Bowl Half Circle Stencil designed by Donna Gray

Cross Stitch X Stencil designed by Stephanie Eaton
