Craft Stamper February Inspiration

Hello My Friends!

Welcome to another Craft Stamper Challenge reminder.

I hope you have had time to come and join us this month.

Here is my wee card I made for today's inspiration. I went with a lovely butterfly card.

I kept this card really simple and used just one stamp and a lovely butterfly die.

I used my watercolour paints and painted a sheet of paper then just used the die to cut out the butterflies. Then arranged a flutter of cascading butterflies.

The stamp I used is from Prima Marketing Creating in Faith Phrases stamp set.

The die is from Michaels Butterfly Die

I love that quote it was one of the reasons I bought this stamp set. Life throws a lot of stuff at you sometimes. Fears can manifest themselves in so many different ways. They can sometimes paralyze us into not moving forward and keep us frozen in time. That is when we must have faith and believe things will work out for our good and take a step forward. I am learning a lot to walk out my fears lately. The butterflies also represent freedom so I thought they would go well with the quote.

I hope you make some time to come and play with us this month.

We a fab prize up for grabs this lovely die from Sizzix.

All of the details can be found on the Craft Stamper Blog

Thanks for stopping by!

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...
