Hi Friends!

Today I got a CAS card for you as my DT piece for the Inspiration Post over on the STAMPlorations blog. Here it is ...

This little card was made using up bits and bobs left over from other projects assembled on a linen effect base card and finished off with a sticker sentiment and glimmer dots.

The flowers had been gold embossed and watercoloured using brush markers. The leaves had been stamped on a still damp watercoloured background using dye ink.

Here are the STAMPlorations products I used in today's card:

Bloom Doodles, Leafy, Inspirational #1 Clear Stickers

Inside My Book

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Tuesday and this means it's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations. For today's project I am sharing the first double page from my book. Here it is ...

I find a lot of Shery's large sentiments are very motivational and uplifting hence I felt that I wanted to create a little book to showcase them. A sort of a little 'pick me up' read, it could make a nice gift once finished.

The inside of the cover has a little pocket ...

The technique I used for my stencilled background is one I shared using a die as stencil in this tutorial here on the STAMPlorations Blog. I then simply added some stamping to finish. The reverse of this page has space for thoughts and reflections encouraging the reader to explore and journal.

Inside the pocket is plenty of space for more pages should they be needed.

This page is fixed in place and features a brusho background with a bit of stencilling and stamping. The Typographia Doubts sentiment got snippet apart and edged in black before attaching the pieces into place. I then finished off with a Bloomdala Bliss Festive die-cut doily plus some sequins.

Here are a few more close-ups ...

Like the book cover from my post here, these pages would make lovely cards too.

Just giving you a little heads up, some of the STAMPlorations products I used in my project are on offer in their shop this month:
The Artsy Border Maker, Bloom Doodles, Comfort Zone and Doubts are some of the selected stamps on offer at 25% off with code TAKE25.

Again, I am keeping it short and sweet today. Pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog to check out the fabulous projects my teamies made.

That's it from me for now. Have a lovely day!

A Little Book Cover

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Tuesday and this means it's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations.

I am sharing a cover for a little book I'm making ...

What can I say, I have taken a little break from CAS cards and started making a little mixed media book which I will fill with uplifting quotes.

I basically made the book in the dimensions to fit the CUTplorations Cover Plate Dies and the large one from the Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies which I am planning to use for the inside pages. I shall share some of them over the next few weeks.

I used the Dragonfly Cover Plate Die for my front cover and layered it on a piece of Brusho coloured card. I is simply decorated with a bit of stamping and some die-cut flowers and shapes.

The layout of my front cover could easily be adapted to make a card.

Just giving you a little heads up, some of the STAMPLorations products I used in my project are on offer in their shop this month:
The Artsy Border Maker is one of the selected stamps on offer at 25% off with code TAKE25.

More Poinsettias

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's Inspiration Time over at STAMPlorations. Today's project is a quick and easy card, another one of my 'no Christmas stamps' cards, here it is ...

Of course I had to use a Christmas sentiment. I simply gold embossed one of the flower stamps from the Bloom Doodles set to make the poinsettias. They were coloured using brush markers and water brush. The idea was to keep thing easy hence the white frame around the silhouette.

Pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog for more Inspiration.

That's it from me for today. Have a lovely week!
