A Stampbord Explosion

This 12 x 12 Stampbord collage has been made using 16 pieces of 2 x 2 Stampbord Tiles. I have done various backgrounds on each tile, some with Alcohol Inks and Distress Inks, Embossing and Crystal Laquers. what I can tell you that every stamp I used came from http://www.theartisticstamper.com there are the new Clarice Cliff, the new Linda Luckin and some older ones there ( quite a mixed bunch) I have scratched out on some and Shrink Plastic words on others, most have been finished with the edging done with a Gold Krylon Pen.

sorry the pictures not fantastic, hope you like this and thankyou for visiting my Blog, I appreciate your comments xx

My Time To Craft Challenge, Pink

This weeks My Time To Craft Challenge is Pink, well what a great excuse to get them Smitten papers out and my new Paper Artsy Stamps, plus a few old faithfuls to, also I needed a few Anniversary cards, so great have my cards and my challenge, well the top cards made with Smitten papers from K&Co and a Paper Artsy Stamp for the main Image, matted and gold brads in the corners, plus gold embossed Hearts and Saying in Gold Embossing.

Card Two is much the same in Papers and Stamps, plus a red Stazon thrown in, the Hearts in the middle Image have been stamped on Smitten, Embossed, cut out and 3D foam squares on the back. my explanations are awful, sorry, hope you like x

Wage Slips Of A Different Kind

Here is another that some of you may have already seen, this is made from the old fashoined brown wage packets. I decorated the fronts with various stamps and distress inks, plus some wax seals to. then each envelope I made contents from CD discs to tags , stampbord, chipboard and mountboard. I decorated these in various of ways, this was one of those projects that you start then wish that you had not. must say when I had finally finished I was pretty pleased with the result.

Dan let me borrow his BIA to put it together, this is one of the only BIA projects I have done, sadly my BIA is still sitting in its box as I am to scared to try it out, oops, hope you enjoy looking at this as I do not see me making another to soon xx

by the way I am still getting used to this blogging lark x

Made For Lesley

This Stampbord collage is for my friend Lesley, her Birthday is coming up soon ( no telling her age either LOL) she knows I am making this so it will not matter if its in my blog, I will tell her not to look!!!!!!!! If you have peeked Lesley hope you like xx

Its been done with 2x2 stampbord pieces, I seem to love this stuff right now, must be some strange stage I am going through, they have been covered using Alcohol Inks, Brilliance Ink Pads and Distress Ink Pads, some have Embossing in Gold on also, I have even done some Shrink Plastic, I do mine in the oven as it seems easier. they are covered in a range of Stamps from Paper Artsy, Artistic Stamper, Catslife Press and Tanda. Hope you like this and I am hoping to do a larger one for Jennie soon x

Tons Of Tags

Well I have dragged these out of the woodwork, I did these tags as part of a bundle for my friend Hels, these were some of the very first tags that I made and goodness, I tried a mixture of things on these and to my suprise was pleased with the results. I guess I got ideas for these from Seeing the man himself ( Tim Holtz ) at Puffin Crafts in the February last year. and these were days before I started adding Embellishments, I actually think these are some of my faves!!!!!

There are I believe about 5 more to this set, I used everything from Dabbers, Watercolours, Distressing, Embossing and all kinds, Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them xx

I might just drag the others from out the woodwork yet !!
