A little light....

Hello again everyone!

As promised, here is another one of my wooden peg tealight holders.

I used some retired Washi Tape for this project, along with Burlap Trim, Gold Cording, and some Crochet Trim. 

This was actually the first one of these I made, and the reason I made so many more of them! I left the inside blank this time and focussed on the outer.

Doesn't it look pretty?? I can't tell you how well these sold at my craft fair the other week. I made 5 altogether, all different, and they created so much interest that not only did they sell quickly, but customers were finding it difficult to choose between them! 

I hope I have offered you some inspiration today...I'll be back with the last one soon (I only photographed 3 of them!)

Have a lovely day!

Going Green!

Good afternoon!

Today it's time for our new challenge at CAS-Colours and Sketches, and it's Louise's turn to host this month. For her first challenge she has gone all green!

I didn't think I would enjoy using just green (it's not my favourite colour to be honest!) but actually, I found it rather easy to do! As it was only one colour, I just got all my green accessories out, with the inks and paper and played! I rather like my effort...what do you think...

I started by stamping just the widely spaced parts of the sprinkle balloon from Celebrate Today in Pear Pizzazz, then added some retired Washi Tape, some Pear Pizzaz Chevron Ribbon and a strip of Garden Green spotty DSP that I punched first with the Hearts Border Punch.

I then added some Linen Thread and a butterfly stamped from Kinda Eclectic and punched with the Bitty Butterfly Punch. I finished with a large Basics Pearl.

I deliberately left in sentiment free as I think this little card would be suitable for lots of occasions. Oh I should say that this card is really little at only 7.5cm x 10cm...super cute!

We're looking forward to seeing your creations!

Transformed notebooks

Hello!

I have a few school fairs coming up in the next couple of months so I have decided to branch out a little in items for my stall. Not everyone wants/needs cards, so I feel it's time I offered something else...see what you think of these...

I found these lovely little pads in Wilkinsons and just knew they were ripe for transformation! And the best thing? They only took about half an hour for all 3! So I am now experimenting with bigger ones, which I will show when they are done :)

Supplies

Cardstock - Naturals White, Whisper White

Stamps - Motorcycle (from MDS), Simply Stars, Express Yourself, Summer Silhouettes, Morning Post

Ink - Daffodil Delight, Marina Mist, Old Olive, Raspberry Ripple, Island Indigo

I hope the storm didn't cause too much damage where you are yesterday. We were lucky to have the winds bypass us in Bolton...just a lot of rain. 

Have a lovely Tuesday...see you tomorrow!

Less Is More - Need For Speed!

Good morning! 

It's Less Is More Saturday, yay!

And this week the One Layer Card theme is 

NEED FOR SPEED

So here is my super speedy card!

This actually took about 3 minutes to make! I recently got this stamp set and I do love it. I created the background using the Ink Spritzer tool and the Washi Tape is part of the This 'n That bundle, which will be available separately in the new catalogue next month!
