Love these notebooks....lots!

Hi everyone!

Today I've got a set of 4 cute little notebooks to show you, made using my favourite ever hostess stamp set! I hope you're not fed up of seeing me use this set yet!

I also used a couple of other stamps to create backgrounds, like Gorgeous Grunge, Awesomely Artistic and Botanical Blooms. Here are each of the notebooks individually...

I also added little bits of retired ribbon around the spiral binding. I really enjoyed making these, and I already sold 3 out of the four...best get making some more! 

Have a fab day and see you soon :)

Perfectly Artistic Birthday

Good evening everyone!

I hope this post finds you well? 

I got the urge to craft a little tonight, so I had a little look to see if there were any challenges I could enter and I came across the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches and decided to have a go. Here's the sketch...

And here's what I made using some DSP that has been sat on my desk for weeks! I decided to rotate the sketch, just to be different!

This is Perfectly Artistic from the Spring/Summer catalogue and I'll be honest, I had planned to add a Melon Mambo or Watermelon Wonder flower/butterfly, but when I got my Botanical Builder Bundle out I spotted the feather and went with that instead! 

I stamped the feathers using Sahara Sand for the main and Crumb Cake for the veins, then to give them shape after die cutting I creased them gently down the middle. I added some Whisper White Organza ribbon, the feathers and Linen Thread, and a sentiment from Petite Pairs.

I apologise for the photos...I'm not so good at taking them in the dark!

Have a lovely evening and I'll see you soon :)

Botanical Beauties

Hello again! 

Well, today is my birthday so I thought I would share a birthday card with you today :) I've used a wonderful new set of dies for this card, along with a free stamp. Yes you heard right...FREE! 

These are the Botanical Builder Framelits...aren't they fabulous?! There is so much potential for these! :) I cut the flowers out from Daffodil Delight card and inked them with Pumpkin Pie ink and a Sponge Dauber. The leaves are Always Artichoke and I used the matching stamp set, Botanical Blooms, to stamp the veins on them.

Now remember me mentioning the free stamp? Well the sentiment is from that set, which is Sky Is The Limit. I love how the sentiment makes it useful for girly cards as well as man cards! 

It's one of the Sale-a-Bration stamp sets and you can get it free simply by placing an order of £45! For more details, click on the link over there on the right>>> 

This is what I used...
