heres another card I have done 

For this Card I used

Mackintosh Multi Flourish 

Wordage Polymer Stamps ~ Value of a Moment  

Inkables 6x6 Template ~ Basket weave 

Distress Inks

First I used the Basket Weave template 

I used different Distress Inks all over 

I added red ribbon

 then matted it onto red card 

then added to main card

I then stamped Mackintosh Flourish onto white Card

and used a die cut for shape and

inked round the edge mounted that onto 

card

then stamped

Valve of a moment straight onto card

I added a die flourish and flower

Hope you like like it

Being Happy....

...Means whatever you want it to

So not my normal sort of post but hey whats normal? 

Anyhoo I went down the journal route for this one, I just fancied something a bit different and perhaps it's not everyone's cup of tea but isn't that the point of what we do?  Individual? Each to their own kind of stuff?

So I used some of The Village stamps with an array of the Inkables templates coupled with what has to be one of my favourite Wordage stamps.

So first I got some colour down and then couldn't decide which template to use so pretty much went wild with the chain link, the honeycomb and the one with the bunting that will be with us soon!!!

I didn't want the uniform chain link fencing so literally wafted my distress inkpad all over it and splatted it onto the page and kept going until I had what I thought looked like an OK background.  Inked through the honeycombe and bunting and then set about stamping some houses...

I decided that the houses needed paths so just doodled these onto some lightweight cardstock and attached them to the houses once I had coloured them in using promarkers

Like I said one of my favourite Wordage stamps - Being Happy in the large version, stamped it out in black memento ink onto some lightweight cardstock and chopped it up a bit so that I could spread it over the page.  I think it covers what I was saying earlier quite well in terms of - perhaps my perfection and yours are different - which is why I love that stamp!

Once I had cot my houses stuck down I used the birds and wire stamp from the village collection and doodled the joining and extra bits in to fit - have to say having them as a guide was awesome though and a great way to use the stamp.

So hope you like it - I had great fun with this one!

Rose Garden Abi by Sue

Hi Ladies Sue Phillips Hickey here

I am a lucky girl I was asked to join the Design Team again so pleased about this love their Stamps.

 

 This is the card I have made 

I used 

 Rose Garden Abi, 

 Backdrop Script, 

 With love Stamp,

 and Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa.
 

 I stamped onto white card.

 Colored Abi in in promarkers (pinks and browns) 

 I matted Abi, the script backdrop and with love and a random backing paper onto brown card

Then arranged onto card.

 I then stamped the script backdrop twice more

 and used a die to make the flowers

 then in the brown use a die for the leaves

 and arranged flowers and leaves around Abi.
 

 I hope you like it.

Along with a few others I made my lovely mum a mothers day card this weekend and here it is.  

I used some of our Teasels stamps from the BEAUtanicals range coupled with some words cut out from  the Being Happy large wordage and some distress ink.  

Now I wasn't sure to begin with, was it a 'bit dark' for such an occasion.  

Then I decided that I loved it so with nothing but hope that was it.  

Turns out I was lucky and she did so lets hope you guys did too.

Canvas or Card?

Hi Everyone

How are you all?

I have to say before I get all crafty hasn't it been an absolutely gorgeous day!!! Spring has officially sprung for me and I am very happy about it! 

So anyway I was having a little play with some of the wordage stamps and particularly loved the Value of  a Moment sentiment.  I used some cute cardstock and patterened paper, which I heavily inked up with some Distress Ink varying shades of browns but my favourites are Tea Dye & Vintage Photo.

I used an old key and some pretty oversized ricrac ribbon.  I wanted quick results in terms of the sticking down of it all so for the paper to paper I used double sided tape when it came to the ribbon, key and more importantly sticking it do the canvas board that its all backed onto (yes that is not a card actually canvas boarding so that it can be wall art at home) it had to be the hot glue gun.  I use the Stix2 Hot Glue Gun which is brilliant and the refills are really reasonably priced too so I don't feel bad using it all the time!

Anyway I had real fun making this and I just love the sentiment as I said at the start.

Hope you like it too
