Craft Stamper November Challenge ~ Take a Stamp


Hello Friends

Welcome to the new November Craft Stamper challenge.  This month our theme is Take a Stamp. So as long as you use a stamp on your project anything goes. This is what I came up with for this challenge. I am hanging on to the Autumn theme as long as I can. Even though the trees around me are becoming pretty bare and winter is approaching. I made this card with this lovely Tree Poem stamp from Stampendous. I fell in love with this stamp as soon as I saw it. I love trees and I have a huge one in my back yard.

  I used my Brusho  paints to colour this tree.  I really love the way that they blend so well together.  I also used some patterned vellum and a real dried leaf and layered them all together.  I went around the edge of my card with some distress ink and then finished it off with some twine.

 We have another great prize up for grabs this month from our lovely sponsor Magenta.


They are giving away some lovely masks and stencils as part of the prize package. These include large pic  Poinsetta Rectangle MC15, top row left to right:  Mini Poinsetta TM125, Christmas Ornaments TM135, Mistletoe Wreath MC14, bottom row left to right  Poinsetta MC13,  Mini Holly TM124 & Stylized Holly TM127.


Magenta are very kindly offering a $5 flat rate shipping deal to all CS readers on all stencils and cling stamps! Simply use the code: Promo CSUK at checkout. This offer is available from 7th-30th November.

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...
