A Journal With Mandala Stencil @ That’s Crafty!

Hello
Last week I shared a project over at the That’s Crafty Blog where I used one of my all time favourite stencils from them, the stunning Mandala.  Whether I use it as a whole or only the smallest snippets from it, it is such a beautiful design to work with.
Instructions and some step details are shared on the blog post.

A week passes by far too quickly!
Here I am, returning to the That’s Crafty Blog with a project which features, amongst other supplies, the beautiful Mandala stencil from That’s Crafty.  Details on how I worked with the stencil can be viewed HERE.

Torn Memories (PaperArtsy Topic #18)

Hello
It is a great honour to be over at PaperArtsy this evening, sharing a project for Topic #18  Torn, Ripped, Burnt. I always enjoy my time with PaperArtsy and this was no different,
I was in my element with this project.  This is a sneaky peek of what is quite a large project, at least in length.  PaperArtsy VID was the most perfectly suited stamp set, I took one look at the stamp which I chose as my focal image and immediately I heard her story that she was whispering to me.

If you would like to view the full project and my inspiration and more, then please visit HERE.

She Wears Butterflies In Her Hair

Hello
Time for my That’s Crafty D.T. project which is a sample I made for their recent appearance on HOCHANDA.
That’s Crafty Art Shrines are one of my favourite items from their product range so it was great to see them being showcased on HOCHANDA. One of my new Affirmations stamps sets has “She Wears Butterflies In Her Hair” so I decided to have a wee bit of whimsical fun with That’s Crafty products with that Affirmation. Although it isn’t exactly an Affirmation, that term has been used very loosely for my sentiments, the message is one of hope and positvity.

If you would like to see the full project with details, then please visit HERE.  One final word from me, words of gratitude to those of you who have left such warm words about my latest Affirmation stamps, thank you so much for your support.

Laundry Day

Hello
I have a very quick post to share, a little something I made as a “paper fancy” gift.
The main stamps used are from the recent release from Character Constructions, Blue Daisy collection with the wonderful French Laundry stamp from one of the older collections, a French Laundry set.

This is actually a paper lavender sachet or should that be a lavender, paper sachet?

The image was stamped onto lovely paper from a vintage French Agenda, some of the pages containing beautiful writing.  By stamping onto this paper, I liked the whimsy of the day of the week appearing on the image , as though Mercredi is laundry day (I really should have scheduled this post for yesterday!)

With the sachet being simple in approach, I wanted the tag to be in keeping with this simplicity.   Old denim jeans formed the base, although I did layer it to kraft cardstock for stability and  a place to jot a message.  A sweet vintage button is all that embellishes the stamped and fussy cut Blue Daisy dress, oh, I also stamped buttons.  This smock dress is a cleverly designed stamp because the open design allows for so many possibilities whether under-stated or adding wild, doodled patterns. A great stamp to use with Gelli prints.

That’s Crafty are U.K. stockists for selected Character Constructions stamps, including the recent addition of two sets from the Blue Daisy collection.  If you have any queries regarding availability of Character Constructions stamps, either contact Laura Holland at That’s Crafty or contact me and I will pass your query to Laura.
Thank you for your visit.

Craft Stamper

Hello
I have overlooked sharing peeks at projects I have in Craft Stamper (May issue).
With the brief of making cards to a vintage/shabby style with colours of Springtime, I had fun working with Character Constructions stamps.  Catherine Moore generously offered one stamp set for a lucky winner – there is still time to enter the Giveaway!

The second card in my article features PaperArtsy, from the recently released ScrapCosy (ESC) which seemed a perfect fit for the brief and was a lovely contrast to the whimsical image on the first card, with the ESC flower being more traditional in style.

In this same issue, I also appear as my role with the That’s Crafty DT, as we had the wonderful challenge of working with a That’s Crafty Splat, for the Craft Stamper 3D Challenge.  I had fun incorporating PaperArtsy stamps and RELICS & ARTIFACTS onto the Splat. I’ve always thought that R&As and That’s Crafty Alterable Surfaces are perfect for each other.

Thank you to Trish Latimer and for the wonderful companies who created such fabulous products to play with.
