Craft Stamper Inspiration


Hello Friends

Welcome back with a wee reminder of the Craft Stamper Challenge. Anything goes this month! So as long as there is stamping on your project you can make whatever you like. You still have plenty of time to make something if you want to join in. We have two prizes up for grabs. Our prize winner who will receive these lovely stencils and masks from our sponsor Magenta.


 Then there is our design winner chosen by the design team. The winner will be published in the magazine and featured on the blog. You can head back to the Craft Stamper Blog for all of the details.

  Also remember Magenta are very kindly offering a $5 flat rate shipping deal to all CS readers on all stencils and cling stamps! Simply use the code: Promo CSUK at checkout. This offer is available from 7th-30th November.

 Now on to my card that I made for today's inspiration. I made a wee snow scene on kraft card. I used this lovely wee moose stamp from Unity called Happy Kiss-Moose Everett. The trees are also from Unity from the Kit of the Month 12/14.  

I started off stamping the trees in black archival ink and then used a white gelly roll pen to colour them. Next I used some white acrylic paint to create the falling snow. When it was dry I stamped my moose and sentiment on top with archival ink. I then stamped the moose again separately and coloured and cut it out. I paper pieced him and used foam dots to to make him pop out a little. I love the way he turned out :)

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.

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...

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...
