Steampunk challenge

2012-01-11T04:14:00.000-08:00

This month's challenge from the
Paperdolls was to make an item using the SteamPunk style. I decided to make a Configuration box - boy, did this take some time doing but have to say I really enjoyed making it. Thanks for taking a look.

Whilst I am on a roll crafting thought I would do the Tilda challenge early for a change!

Tim Holtz style cards

2011-08-05T02:11:00.000-07:00

These are a selection of cards I made really quickly - very simply stamped and spritzed with glimmer mists but I love the effect - shame the glimmer doesn't show up very well. Thanks for looking.

Victoria's Birthday & Engagement cards

2011-01-23T05:36:00.000-08:00

Crafting back to full swing! Used my Meltpot for the first time last week (thanks for the help Kerry). The hearts on the Engagement card were my first attempt and really pleased with the outcome. All 3 birthday cards are for my daughters birthday - used metal work frame for the first time, made a flower with the meltpot (need more practice with this). The doggy card I made from Alfie & Archie.

Thanks for looking.

CRAFTING AT LAST!

2010-06-25T01:24:00.000-07:00

I have been away from crafting now for over 18 months and, finally, I am back in my craftroom. I have made lots of cards this week and these are just a small sample of what I have done. Going to take me a while though to get my inspiration back! Thanks for looking

birthday card

2010-04-06T03:14:00.001-07:00

This is a card I have made for my very good friend's birthday on the 8th April. It was made using Dawn Bibby's new kit, Martha Stewart punches and some coloured bazil stock. Took me ages to make this as I have been away from crafting for so long. thanks for looking.

Paperdolls challenge

2010-01-13T08:10:00.000-08:00

The bi-monthly challenge on the Paperdolls was to make a shopping list holder. Can tell I have been away from crafting for far too long as I think I have made this too big and too fussy. Hope whoever receives it likes it.

Back crafting again!

2010-01-13T06:37:00.000-08:00

After a break of over 14 months, I have finally ventured into my craftroom. Lacking a bit in the imagination area but hope it will all come back to me asap. Have so many new gadgets to learn how to use so expect to have lots of mistakes etc ending up in the bin!!lol

2010-01-13T06:36:00.001-08:00

Definitely getting the hang of it now!!

2010-01-13T06:34:00.001-08:00

My second attempt with the ProMarkers - a bit better this one I think.

Back crafting again!

2010-01-13T06:32:00.001-08:00

This was the first card I made using my ProMarkers - not sure I have got the hang of it yet!

Back crafting again!

2010-01-13T06:29:00.001-08:00

It is my daughter's birthday soon and, as she was born in 1977, thought she might like this card, purely as a joke.

Baby cards

2009-04-15T09:56:00.001-07:00

As most of you know, I haven't done any crafting since last November when my husband bought me a Cuttlebug as part of my Christmas present. So, after months of it sitting on top of a wardrobe, I decided I really had to have a go. A friends son and d/i/l had a new baby daughter on Good Friday so I made a card for the parents and grandparents. Love the Nestabilites and cuttlebug dies and folders and hope I have done them justice with my first attempts. Thanks for looking.

log fire

2009-02-08T01:28:00.000-08:00

As some of you will know, my husband Paul is seriously ill so, inbetween looking after Paul and our puppy Archie, there is no time left for crafting. Before we knew how ill Paul, was he decided to take out our old fireplace (which I absolutely hated) and fit a new log burner. After the old fireplace was removed, we discovered the original Victorian fire opening behind so Paul opened it up and this is the end result. Thanks for looking.

Archie in the snow

2009-02-08T01:25:00.001-08:00

This is the latest photo of our lovely Archie enjoying the recent snow. He is now 12 weeks old and loves the snow.

Alfie and Archie - 7 wks old

2009-01-06T01:38:00.001-08:00

As promised, here are just a few of the many photos our daughter took of Alfie and Archie on Saturday night (the day we got them). They are so cute and soooo well behaved - couldn't imagine life without them now. Hope you enjoy looking at them.

Alfie and Archie

2008-12-07T06:17:00.000-08:00

These are the latest photo's of Alfie and Archie. The bottom one is all 3 in the litter and the rest are of our little doggies - they are so cute and I am sure they recognise us!! Well, one can dream!!

Sad news re Alfie

2008-12-03T07:10:00.000-08:00

Poor little Alfie died this morning. The breeder took him to the vets again and he had a chest infection and he was too small and too weak to recover. The vet had to put him to sleep. Victoria is extremely upset but, at least, she will now have the other black and tan who she will also call Alfie.

Latest additions to our family

2008-11-30T12:04:00.000-08:00

As promised, I am letting you all into our little secret. As you know our daughter lost her beloved Max a few weeks ago and has been inconsolable. However, I am now pleased to introduce you all to Alfie and Archie, the two latest editions to our family. Alfie is the black and tan Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Archie is the tri-colour. As you will see Alfie is half the size of Archie and he is definitely going to take after his very petite mother. Alfie is Victoria's dog and Archie is ours! We can collect them both on the 3rd January 2009 when they will be 8 weeks old.

Birthday cards

2008-11-26T09:15:00.000-08:00

I seem to be bogged down with birthday cards just lately. Dec/Jan are the busiest times with my family ones. However, I have made these 2 for friends and am still not sure I am satisfied with the landscape one. I try to make them unique, hoping no one else will come up with the same ideas, but wonder if I have gone a bit ott with it. The second one is using my new Lavinia stamps which I bought at the NEC and I really love these cute images, so much so, that I have made another 3 cards in different stamped colours. Let me have your views please, good or bad, about the landscape card as, I have a feeling, this one will be shelved and another one made unless, of course,you call all persuade me otherwise. Thanks for looking.

Birthday card

2008-11-13T05:25:00.001-08:00

My sister's work colleague has asked me to make most of her birthday cards etc this year. It's her sister's birthday on Xmas day so she asked me to personalise this one. Apart from stamps and peel-off, I do not have any machine for making alphabets so, my kind friend Wilma, used hers and did the name Velma for me. Most of the card was done with stamping and embossing and, infact, the name was also triple embossed to co-ordinate with the colours of the card. Finished it off with some pretty Prima flowers to which I added some stickles in crystal. I just hope she likes this one and doesn't send it back!! Thanks for taking a look.

Birthday cards

2008-10-01T09:47:00.000-07:00

I seem to have an awful lot of birthdays coming up this month so thought I had better make a start. The architecture card is for my cousin and the images are from The Artistic Stamper - love this site.
The other three are decoupaged (something I haven't done for quite some time). I mounted them on some lovely toned glitter card and am really pleased with the effect. However, it might not show up so well on here! Thanks for looking.

2008-09-06T00:10:00.001-07:00

Yesterday I was supposed to be putting the inserts into my Xmas cards but, as my Paper Artsy stamps were still out, decided to make 4 more cards. I love these stamps!! All made in the same fashion and method as the other 2. Will have to hide these though as they are for upcoming birthdays as, when my Sister visits, she always takes the most recently made cards I have made!! thanks for looking.

Cards

2008-09-05T00:48:00.001-07:00

These are 2 birthday cards I made for friends on a forum I am on. I used all Paper Artsy stamps and Tim Holtz inks blending the colours until I was satisfied with the effect. Finished off with gold glimmer mist (on the male card) and silver (on the female card) to give a nice shimmer effect. Added a crown and star and some sparkley jems to set it all off. Thanks for looking.

2008-08-13T15:22:00.000-07:00

On the Paper Dolls this year, we have been set bi-monthly themed challenges and it fell to me to set the theme for July/August. I decided on 'make a book' - there were no rules so anything goes!! I started off making one BIA book which then rapidly turned into two, followed by a third (the max. no of entries we are allowed to make). Tried to make them all very different and thoroughly enjoyed making them all. However, as I am very tired (lol) I have posted 2 identical pages on the 2nd and 3rd books and now can't work out how to remove them!! Sorry but just close your eyes on the duplicate pages. Thanks for looking.

Paperdolls bi-monthly challenge Book 2

2008-08-13T15:03:00.001-07:00

This was actually the 1st book I made and got a bit carried away with inks and generally getting messy.

Paperdolls bi-monthly challenge

2008-08-13T14:46:00.000-07:00

This was the third and last book I made and, I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed making this one using lots of different stamps inks, glimmer mists etc., Thanks for looking.

Birthday cards

2008-06-26T03:06:00.000-07:00

It is my sister's birthday tomorrow, 27th June, and I managed to make her a few cards but, I have to say, that this one is my favourite. I used a new set of stamps and lots of Tim Holtz inks to get the background effect and also spritzed gold glimmer. The lady was also coloured in with the same ink pads but with dabbers. Hope she like it as it is my favourite at the moment. Thanks for looking.

Birthday cards

2008-06-26T02:45:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted any of my work for ages now, due to the fact, that I am still recovering from my knee replacement in May. Things are progressing very slowly but before my op I made these 2 cards for my good friend Bee's birthday on the 15th May.

21st Birthday cards

2008-05-07T10:30:00.000-07:00

It is my neices' 21st birthday on the 9th May so my sister asked me to make a selection of cards for her. Have tried to make them all different but not sure I have really achieved what I wanted to but, as I am going into hospital next Tuesday, time just seemed to run away with me. Thanks for taking a look.

Sunday Stampers Week 14 challenge

2008-05-01T01:45:00.001-07:00

The Sunday Stampers theme this week is 'Words'. I brayered Lemon Zest and Oriental Poppy glimmer mists onto my card and when dried spritzed gold glimmer mist over the top. The text and swirls were stamped with black stazon and highlighted with my new 'white' pen (sorry can't remember the name). Spritzed the arrows with lemon zest and oriental poppy and placed them appropriately. Thanks for looking.

Sunday Stampers Week 13 challenge

2008-04-21T05:06:00.001-07:00

This week's Sunday Stamper challenge is 'Faces' so I used 3 of my favourite images and fb pages. However, for some unknown reason, my scanner hasn't picked up the red areas so I am hoping this is only a temporary blip as it's a new one. Sorry you will just have to image it. lol

Cards

2008-04-17T09:38:00.000-07:00

I have quite a few birthdays coming up over the next month so thought it was time I got myself organised and started making some of them. Really enjoyed making all these. Suppose that's why I enjoy stamping so much, as every card can look so different.

Sunday Stampers Week 12 challenge

2008-04-16T05:11:00.001-07:00

The Sunday Stampers this week is 'Family'. I thought this image would be lovely and reminded me of my sister and I when we were young!! Used Tim Holtz 2 shades of orange for the backing and most of my Adirondak inpads to colour the image with my dabbers. Finished off with a Memories sentiment and Jennie's Clock stamp.

Envelope - Bugs & Critters.

2008-04-11T01:12:00.000-07:00

Ok, I know I have gone complete OTT with this envelope but, I enjoyed doing it so much, I just couldn't stop myself. The scans do not do it justice as everything shimmers with the glimmer mists I have used so you will just have to imagine it. lol. Have tried to reflect a garden in all different times of day, morning, lunchtime, evening and night. The querky side of the insert is the night time theme when all the little critters are going to bed or, like the owl, waking up. Hope you enjoy looking at this as I really do not want to part with it!!

Birthday Envelope - postal

2008-04-08T10:44:00.000-07:00

The Craft Swap Forum will be celebrating it's 2nd birthday soon and to honour this occasion our esteemed Administrator, Simon (the dragon!!) has decided to set a challenge for us all. We have to decorate an envelope and insert which will then be made up into a book. This is my effort for the Postal Theme and hope you enjoy looking at it. I am also on the Seventh Heaven Team but this will be entirely different as everything will be inked and stamped.

Sunday Stampers Week 11 challenge

2008-04-07T09:57:00.000-07:00

The theme for the Sunday Stampers this week is Journey. I have used my Tim Holtz car, map and sentiment together with a Morris Minor stamp and a new one, I acquired at the NEC, the old bike. Stamped the map straight onto my card with Adirondak inks in red, blue and brown and stamped the images on separate cream card with black Stazon inkpad. I cut them out and mounted them, with silicone glue onto the card. Finished off by smudging further Adirondak inks around the edge.

Cards

2008-04-01T10:42:00.001-07:00

This is a small selection of cards I have made using a few of my new stamps. The Art Nouveau ones, I particularly love, and were the quickest cards I have made for ages. They are from Sharon Duncan's Art Nouveau disc.

Altered art

2008-04-01T10:40:00.001-07:00

Well, as promised, I did decide to 'alter' my Sunday Stamper card. However, the finished effect would be much better if the images were done with black ink - something I will try another day.

Sunday Stampers Week 10 challenge

2008-03-31T01:22:00.000-07:00

I have been wanting to use my new set of stamps from Paper Artsy so, thought this would be a good excuse to use them for the Sunday Stamper's challenge. I had to be sooooooo restrained though, as I wanted to use some really vibrant colours (reds, oranges and yellows) but, as the theme is green, stuck to the rules. Used 6 different inkpads and mounted the main image on some green mirri card. Added some green gems and the job was finished. Quite a simple card so just might 'touch it up' with more colours now!! Unfortunately, it doesn't show up too well on my blog (it looks better in real life!!).

Sunday Stampers Week 9 challenge

2008-03-26T11:32:00.001-07:00

As you will see, I am still into my acetate stamping! This week the Sunday Stampers was party hats and I thought this lovely image would look good for a garden party. It was stamped on acetate with a stazon black ink pad and glittered on the reverse. I then mounted the image onto a piece of card with brads and then finished off with some gold mount - job done!!

Sunday Stampers Week 8 challenge

2008-03-19T10:49:00.000-07:00

This is my entry for the Sunday Stampers this week which is Laydeee.
I used one of my favourite mediums, acetate and stamped with black stazon the beautiful image of this lady. On the reverse I used glitter in various colours (this takes an awful long time to dry)!! Mounted the acetate image on some white card and used red heart brads to attach it all to some embossed black card stock. Have to say I am really pleased with this weeks challenge. Hope you all like it!!

Sunday Stampers Week 7 challenge

2008-03-11T10:24:00.001-07:00

Yes, I know, yet another tag!! but I have been feeling rather poorly today so decided a tag would be quicker. Covered tag with some really nice Thai paper,which unfortunately, cannot be seen very well now. Stamped an oriental image with black stazon on some white shiny paper and mounted on gold mirri card. On the reverse I mounted the same image onto red card and then some black card. Finished off by using Versamark pad and heat embossed gold around the edges of both sides.

Paperdolls challenge

2008-03-10T09:34:00.000-07:00

The challenge for March/April was to make either an atc or tag book. As I am 'off' atc's decided to make a tag folder. Used Adironak lavender and blue inks, smudged with a baby wipe, spritzed blue tattered angels. Decided then to add gold tattered angels but, this time, brayered the gold on which, I think, gives a much better effect and is more even and you don't get the 'blotched' look. Stamped 4 sides with Versamark pad and heat embossed images in black and on the reverse stamped the same images with black Stazon pad. Added some ribbons, gems and coloured peel-off borders and finished off with some pretty ribbons. The book I added some blue and lavender flowers and gems and finished the edges with silver stars.

March Tag Swap

2008-03-06T09:25:00.000-08:00

I joined in the March Tag Swap on Craft Swap Forum this month. It's theme is birds and flowers so I decided to use my Tim Holtz stamps, as they are amongst my favourite ones. Used Adirondak inkpads, in various colours, smudged onto card with babywipes. Stamped and embossed images in black, red and brown and finished off with some fabric flowers, gems and little butterflies. Added some ribbons and the job was done!!

Sunday Stampers Week 6 challenge

2008-03-02T03:36:00.001-08:00

I have cheated, most terribly, this week. This card was made, by me, for my daughter on the occasion of her grandfather's 90th birthday last year. It brings back so many happy memories, not only of his 90th Birthday party, but the following Monday morning, when we sat for many an hour, opening all the wonderful cards all his 'friends' on Craft Swap Forum had sent him. I thought it would be nice to have a permanent record, on my blog, of my father's memory so I hope none of you mind. The card was made from Joanna Sheen's De Vinci papers and one of her old photographs. The sentiments I thought were very appropriate for my father as, his passion in life (apart from his family) was food!!

Easter Cards

Easter Cards

2008-03-01T02:59:00.001-08:00

Decided, yesterday, that as Easter is almost upon us, I should make a start on my Easter cards. Pinched these ideas from a craft magazine but not sure they are really my style. However, the little rabbit was in a pack of 10 dye-cuts and the papers were also free. Think I will go back to my usual style though for the rest!

Yet more tags!

2008-02-28T04:14:00.001-08:00

Well, as you can see, have been messing about again making more tags. I received my 1 Tilda and 5 Sugar Nellie stamps, last week, so felt the need to use them straight away! The front of the tags are all stamped with my new Colourbox cats eye inkpads and the reverse with more subdued colours of my Adirondak pads. All images are stamped with black stazon and added some home-made embellishments (apart from 2 grungeboard ones) and some pretty gems. Not sure if I am going to add fibres or ribbons yet .......... will have to sit on that for a while and see what inspiration comes!!

Tags for a friend.

2008-02-26T10:24:00.000-08:00

I have been very much 'into' tags this week and decided to make these 4 for a friend of mine. Its something I have been promising myself I would do for her for ages and, finally, got around to making them. Hope you like them.

Sunday Stampers Week 5 challenge

2008-02-24T08:50:00.000-08:00

This week's theme is Time so, as I am into tags at the moment, used one of my all time favourite stamps from Serendipity. Stamped images, watercoloured them and dabbed on Tim Holtz weathered wood and shabby shutters inkpads. On the reverse I used a stamp from the Artistic Stamper and a verse (from Serendipity) - finished off dabbing with Tim Holtz old paper and vintage photo inkpads. Added some pretty fibres and it was done!

Books for Bee

2008-02-21T15:15:00.000-08:00

As a thank you for our lovely weekend with Bee, I made her 2 BIA books. The first theme was 'Beautiful Women' and the second was my first gatefold book 'Housemouse'. The first book I used just about every type of inking matter I had but the Housemouse one, as the stamps are so colourful, decided that all they really needed was watercolouring. Finished them both off with lots of colourful ribbons.

Sunday Stampers Week 4 challenge

2008-02-19T06:19:00.000-08:00

This card is not my usual style but as I bought this new stamp on Saturday, thought I would give it a go. Covered card with some shiney white paper and stamped the bird image as the background and then dabbed pastels on in various shades. Stamped bird, and a twig, on a separate piece of card and mounted it on the card with some yellow ribbon and brads. Finished off with some little green gems on the twig.

Sunday Stampers Challenge Week 3

2008-02-16T14:24:00.000-08:00

I used bronze metallic backing paper and stamped onto cream mottled card my collage stamps using Tim Holtz distressed ink pad. I ripped the edges and inked them with Old Paper ink pad. I then stamped the impression again and decoupaged the dragonfly, keys and stamp. I embellished the dragonfly with Stickles Icicles.

Week 2 Challenge

This is my first attempt at the Sunday Stampers challenge. Took a plain white card and covered the centre with black and white flowered paper. On top of this I placed a long piece of black hand-made textured paper. The image is from my collection of photo-realistic stamps and was done with black stazon inkpad. Finished off by edging image and card with inkpad.

Birthday cards for daughter

2008-01-18T03:50:00.000-08:00

These two cards are entirely different so hope she likes them. The girly one is all black and white, apart from some pink glitter edging. The image is from Joanna Sheen's Dancing with Shadow and I really like the effect it gives. The paper used is handmade silver glitter which, unfortunately doesn't show up on here.

She particular asked for a 'Dragon' card so have been playing around with inks etc, and decided to make a tag with Linda's stamp again. Its getting plenty of use!!

Card for a friend.

2008-01-11T07:07:00.000-08:00

Decided to make something a little different for my friend's birthday so the whole card is in gold. It is one of the quickest cards I have made for a long time but, in real life, it looks so impressive and expensive. All the stamped images are from the Tim Holtz range and I simply applied Versamark embossing pad to the stamps and then gold heat-it-up embossing powder and heat embossed them all individually. To finish off I used Rub 'n buff gold on the edges and between the gaps in the images. Hope you like it.

Take 3 Beer Mats.

2008-01-11T06:53:00.000-08:00

I belong to a group of like-minded ladies called The Paper Dolls and each month we have challenges set to stretch our crafting abilities. We have now been set a bi-monthly challenge and Take 3 Beer Mats is the first in the series. The idea is to alter the beer mats into something completely different. I decided to make mine an Oriental book and I hope you will find this interesting.

Front Page.

All the pages are covered using the DCWV Far-East card stack and all images are stamped with black StaZon inkpad. I have used the same Dragon image on both the front and back pages. The image has been produced by a member of the forum I am on and her name is Linda. The dragon is coloured in acrylic paints and the 'fire' is done with red stickles. The edges are coloured in with Adirondak Cranberry inkpad and glittery gold peel-offs.

Pages 1 & 2.

Stamped with Geisha stamps. Highlighted flowers etc with Diamond and yellow stickles. Flowers and buds painted with Emerald Green Liquid Pearls. Pages edged with Adirondak Bottle Green inkpad and glittery gold peel-offs

Pages 3 & 4.

2008-01-11T06:43:00.000-08:00

Stamped with 2 images from the Non-Sequitur range of Orientals. Painted with acrylic paints and glittered with yellow and orange stickles and green liquid pearls. Pages edged with adirondak Butterscotch inkpad and pages edged with glittery gold peel-offs.

Back page

Again using Linda's Dragon stamp and coloured in with acrylic pants and Xmas Red stickles for the 'fire'. Edged with Adirondak Cranberry inkpad. 3 Eyelet holes made in each page and tied with red ribbon to finish the effect!

Egyptian fat book pages

2008-01-05T09:04:00.001-08:00

I have been messing about with inks recently and have now completed a series of Egyptian fat book pages to swap on a forum I am on.
Instead of using backing papers, I have used various coloured inks blended to form the background to co-ordinate with the images. The images used are from Joanna Sheen's Egyptian cd. The embellishments I made from mountboard which I triple embossed and, when cold, coloured in with H2o's. When they had dried I then used a glaze which would give me a 'cracked' and aged look.
