I Love Big Books ~ CS Reminder

 

  
Hello Friends
 
Happy Friday!!  I am back with a wee reminder for the Craft Stamper challenge this month.
 
 I made this card for today! I thought this sentiment was so cute :)  I thought I would pair two different stamps together to create my card. They are from Unity and they are called Ellie Girl & I Love Big Books.  I coloured her using my inktense watercolour pencils.   
 
  I am the kind of person that LOVES real books. I can't get into reading a book on my phone or an ereader.  I love the feel of a book in your hands and the sound of the pages as you flick them over.  I also love the smell of really old books.  Please tell me I am not alone in loving books ????  I am still reading my Christmas ones in January ha :)
 
So I hope you have some time to create something for this month's challenge if you have not already.  The theme this month is Take a Stamp. So as long as you use a stamp somewhere on your project that is all you need to enter. Remember there are two winners! The first gets some great Indian themed prizes from DaliArt. The other winner who the design team picks will have there project published in the Craft Stamper magazine.
 
So hop on back to the Craft Stamper Blog for all of the details. 
 
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...

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...

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 ...
