Chrissy Caterpillar

I love how simple this card turned out, and if you look closely it is white card, which has NO inky smudges, amazing I know!

To make this card I started by cutting a white piece of card 1cm smaller than a A6 folded card, across the center of the card I stamped three caterpillars. Then I left a gap for the ribbon and stamped "Have a munching crunching good time!". Using Distress Ink and a waterbrush I coloured it in (see I had to use Distress Inks somewhere lol!).

When the caterpillars were dry I attached some red ribbon across the center and added a knot. This was then mounted onto a green card and a then onto a white A6 base card.

To finish off the card I added googly eyes and gems in the corners of the card.

Blooming....

I made this card at Happy Stampers last weekend, it uses our new Flowers Grows stamp set and of course a quote from Dr Seuss!

To make this card is really quick and easy! I started by stamping the smallest sunflower at one side and the largest one at the other and coloured them in using Distress Ink and a water brush. In the top corner I distressed through a punched out circle, then around the edge of the card. Around the edge of the card I inked up the edge of my acrylic block and "stamped" around the edges of the card. This was then matted on to blue card and onto a white base card.

To finish off the card I roughly cut of the quote and backed it onto blue card and attached it to the card.

Busy days....

This week was always going to be busy as we have our very first show at Happy Stampers this weekend! I can't wait it was the very first show my mum, sister and I ever went too (many moons ago!), it is so exiciting going back as a trader and the bonus is its the closest show we will do to home so no silly get up times yyyaaaayyyy!

So, I can hear you all asking why it is such a busy week, well! I decided I wanted to make a few more "things" to show how fabulous our stamps are, well.... I might have got a little carried away!!!! 

Here's a quick look at some of them.....

 These last two were made by Sue aren't they cool!

Lady Lizzie

Many years ago I saw this torso and stand kit from Indigo Blu, but talked myself out of buying it as I didn't think I could do it justice! However, a couple of weeks ago I bought one (well two in fact but that's another post!), and this is how it turned out.....

I am just so pleased with how she turned out!!!!!

A friend is......

I just love my quotes (if you hadn't guessed!) and this has to be one of my favourites.

This piece has been half made for ages as I just couldn't find anything to put in the centre, so it has sat lonely and unloved on my shelf, until now!

This wreath was so easy to make all I did was stamp the detailed Lizzie stamp onto different patterned paper, cut them out, scrunched them up and distressed them. I did the same with the leaf.

Next these were stuck onto a chipboard and a small pearl brad added to the centre of each flower. (Then I left it for a LONG time!).

Using a favourite quote I created a centre for the wreath. Around the edges of the quote I stamped Lizzie and distressed it, then attached it to the centre of the wreath.

Finally I attached some ribbon to the top of the wreath so I could hang it and a bow and some hat pins to the bottom.

At last......

I just had to share......

I have wanted, actually more like dreamt about these t-shirts for forever, so many people have said yep I can do them and let me down, apparently I would never find anyone who would be able to handle the detail of my logo!

Well I did! I found the fabulous David from Manchester Print & Promotions, he laughed when I mentioned the level of detail and he laughed even more at the prices I had been quoted! So in the quickest turn around ever he handed me these beauties.....

So this afternoon I am going to sit, stroke and admire these beauties - whoops I sound like I am turning into Gollum!

World Book Day

Today is world book day, so it's yet another dress up day at school! Luckily we found out about dress up day way before the school holidays, so Little Lady has had plenty of time to perfect her outfit!

If you can't tell she wanted to be Goofy! And had Granny make/find everything even down to his white gloves.

Apparently these are some of Goofys best moves....
