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 s

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

Hello my friends!  Welcome to another Craft Stamper Challenge.  October it is one of my favourite months.  I love the change is season of the cool crisp air and falling leaves.   I used two different stamp sets to create my  Kraft card.   These stamps are from the lovely Leisa Zgharda.  I created the sentiment with the  Alphabet Stamp Set  and the foliage around  the edge is made with the  Fall Bouquet Stamp Set.   I then used my Prismacolor pencils to colour.   This is one of my favourite quotes from the book Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery.   I really loved working with these stamps as they are so versatile. We have  amazing prizes up for grabs as usual this time we have this fab mould bundle. As well as the chance to get your project published in the magazine.  You can make anything you want as long as you use rubber stamps on your project.  All of the information can be found on the  Craft Stamper Challenge  blog.  Thanks so
