Happy Valentine's Day - Craft Stamper Inspiration

Hello my friends happy Valentine's Day!

I made this stamped jar for my inspiration project for the Craft Stamper Challenge today.

This is my husband's old coffee jar that was heading to the recycling bin.

I always like to save them and make something with them.

I gave it a couple of coats of white chalk paint and let it air dry.

Next I stamped it with memento ink.

The stamp I used is from Unity called Smooches and Stuff by Phyllis Harris.

I just love all of her art work.

I let that completely dry then used my alcohol markers to colour it.

While I was at the craft store I found this nice heart kraft ribbon in the Valentine section.

I tied it around the top to finish.

I love the way it turned out.

I hope you have some time to come and join in this month's challenge with us.

As always we have wonderful prizes up for grabs.

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

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today.

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 some hearts from the red leaves and put one inside t

Friends with Flair @ Unity

Here is my Unity Friends with Flair entry. I used my Feel the Joy stamp and used the generation stamping technique with memento ink. I then sponged the background in purple and deep pink pigment ink. I mounted it on to white card and added the Happy Birthday sentiment at the bottom. It looked too plain so I added teeny weeny little butterflies from the butterfly punch from Martha Stewart. P.S I ran out of daubers and all I could find was a magic eraser it did the trick as a makeshift sponge :) If you want to take part hop along to Unity and enter here I just had to make another card I just love this stamp I wish I had gotten it sooner it is so versatile. I think it may be my new favourite Unity Stamp :) Thanks for visiting :)

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 balling it and hoping it works out!

Faith, Hope & Crafts
