Craft Stamper January Challenge

Hello Friends!

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and a wonderful New Year. We launched the new Craft Stamper challenge last week. This is your chance to pick up your favourite crafty supplies and stamps and get crafting with us. Maybe you got some new crafty bits for Christmas? This is the perfect time to use them.

I made this card for this month's challenge. I am back home in Scotland and I came across a box of stamps I have not used. I must have set them aside and they got lost in my craft nook. This is set is one of my finds this is from Visible Image called Own Kind of Beautiful. I love that butterfly stamp. I got out my distress inks and made a whole sheet of ink smooshing. I used two different colours Worn Lipstick and Peacock Feathers. Then I stamped my butterflies on top and fussy cut them out. I then smooshed my white card base with some Peacock Feathers and stamped the sentiment at the bottom of the card. I added a wee bit of glittery sparkle to the butterflies then glued them to my card.

Now it's your turn to come and join in the fun.

You can be in with a chance to win this lovely bundle from Prima Marketing.

You also have a chance of getting published in the Craft Stamper Magazine.

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...
