Craft Stamper TIMI Challenge September ~ Take A Stamp



Hello Friends

 Welcome to the September Craft Stamper TIMI Challenge. Where is the year going?? It is flying by fast!!!  This month our challenge to you is Take A Stamp. That means as long as there is stamping on your project you can make whatever your little heart desires.  I made this tag  for my project this month.   

 I also used two different stamps from Unity they are You Have Made a Difference & Insightful Meadows. My love affair with Brusho continues! I can't seem to get enough of those powders. I used two colours on my tag Vermillion & Ost Red. I also used Brusho to colour the ribbon on my tag. It works really well the fabric absorbs the colours beautifully.

Here is wee tip for you. I used to buy lots of different types of ribbons for my projects but I would never have the exact colour match. It used to drive me crazy!!  Then I decided it was easier if I bought a  roll of seam binding ribbon and just dye it to match my projects. I think I paid $10 for 100 yards of white. I use distress inks and Brusho to colour them mostly. So you will always have the right colours to match your projects and you save money from buying every colour of ribbon under the sun ha!!!

 So now it is your turn to make something for our challenge. We have a GREAT prize for you this month.  Our sponsor this month is STAMPlorations and they are giving away this lovely Stamps called Boxed Blooms and Bold Sentiments.

Unity & Misti Blog Hop

Hello My lovelies :) Welcome to the Unity and Misti blog hop! I  hope you are enjoying seeing all of the projects so far. I just had my first wee play with the Misti tool the other day. It is a very new to me tool and wow do I LOVE it!! It is awesome! Just for the simplest of things like positioning a stamp.  One time is all you need with the Misti!! I am not one of those crafters that gets my stamped images crisp first time. I usually have wasted a card or two before I end up with a perfect image. This tool totally eliminates all of that.  Here is my very first card that I made with the Misti tool and Unity stamps.  I used a stamp called  Scattered Pieces . I LOVE this stamp and the sentiments that come with it.  I positioned the feather and the sentiment at the same time on the Misti.  I totally love that you can do that too!  It lets you stamp several at once instead of just eye b...

Tag Trio Day 5 GIU

 Hello Friends Welcome to my final day as GIU girl. I must say that I have loved every minute of it and I have enjoyed putting all of my projects together for you to see. So I wanted to end my week with some distress tags. I love getting messy with my distress inks and using the embossing resist technique. I chose this lovely flower stamp set called  Insightful Meadows . The sentiments are from another stamp set called  The Simple Things . These were so easy to make I stamped all of the flowers and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. Then I took 3 different colours for each tag and swiped them on to my craft sheet. I spritzed some water and let the tag pick up the inks. I dried them 3 or 4 times in between until I had built up the colours I wanted.  I then stamped out the sentiments on to vellum and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. I attached the vellum with glue and glued it at the back of ...

Craft Stamper November Challenge

Hey Friends Welcome to a new  Craft Stamper  challenge for November. Can you believe we are almost at the end of the year already!!  Where did time go?? It has been pretty cold and frosty up here in Scotland for the last few nights.   But I am hanging on to Autumn as long as I can. I took a wee walk around the park and collected some lovely Autumn leaves.  I wanted to incorporate them into my project today.  I put the leaves in some paper and put them inside a heavy book overnight to press them down.  I started off with a white card base and used this sentiment stamp from Unity and repeat stamped all down the side of my card using Potting Soil Archival Ink. Then I went around the edges with Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink.  Next I took my leaves and my paper punches and punched a heart shape out from the yellow leaf and then stuck it to my card with fabric glue.  Then I punched som...
