Make My Monday - Die cuts and Punches

At Make my Monday this week the theme is diecuts and punches. I have got a sweet tag I made to label my last batch of cutomer orders, and I've used both a die cut and a punch!


These were very quick and easy to do - a must if you need a few! I used the Kinda Eclectic stamp set, which I love and Itty Bitty Banners. They all came out slightly different but I'm afraid I only photographed one of them. As it was all made out of snippets I'm having a quick trip to the Playground as well.

Less is More - Mint Chocolate!

Well I'm finally back after quite a few days feeling dreadful! I've even managed a short time in the craft room as I had an idea for the Less is More challenge floating around in my head all the time I was feeling poorly! I have to say though that the finished cards are not quite as they were in my head! I made the green background by inking my acrylic block, spritzing lightly with water then stamping on the card. There were quite a few failed attempts too. My original idea was to make a square background using a smaller block 4 times and overlapping them - didn't work! Watercolour paper was a fail as well. Eventually I got two that I thought would work with the leaves.

 I used Lucky Limeade (retired) for the background and the leaves were stamped with a Memento Brilliance pad. The leaves are from the retired Fabulous Florets stamp set which I bought when it was on the retired list and until now had never been used. So as well as LIM I'm also taking this one over to join in Darnell's NBUS challenge.

Same colours here on the second one but the stamp is from the Kinda Eclectic set. I do love those leaves! It looks as though the panel is not centred vertically, I can assure you it is - it's just my rubbish photography!

The Male Room - Autumn/Fall

My project for The Male Room. Sorry this is very brief - feeling really ropey!

Edited - finally to add details.Current product shown below. The sentiment is from a retired set and the scrap of ribbon is also retired.

Make My Monday - Vacation

Good morning everyone. It's time for a new challenge at Make My Monday and this week it's my turn to choose the theme. As we are just at the start of the school holidays it's that time of year when everyone is setting off for a few days - or longer if they're lucky- to recharge their batteries! So my theme is Vacation. So whether it's the beach, a " staycation", or travelling to distant climes the DT want to see your creations. Here's mine:



I really enjoyed creating this and it was so easy with all the new stamp sets. The sea was made using the strip stamp from Work of Art and the sky used the smaller paint splash randomly, stamping off first to give a more subtle effect. The little birds were doodled in after I'd put it all together as I had managed to get a small black smudge just above the ship's mast. On most cards I'd have added a butterfly - but it didn't seem to fit with this card (lol)!! The shells were stamped on snippets and mounted on dimensionals. That means I can go and visit Pixies Snippets Playground where Di always want us to use snippets.
