Tiny beads

Here's a couple of cute makes I did at club recently

was a tad fiddly but fun,

one I backed with acetate

I like that you can see through the die cut.

OnStage Telford April 2016

Happy Monday!

It's a typical bank holiday here...grey and drizzly,

so here to brighten the day is a nosey into my bag of goodies I got

at the Onstage convention in Telford recently,

for the launch of the NEW CATALOGUE!

As a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator we get a copy of it,

and the chance to pre-order some products, before it goes live

on sale to the crafty public.

One of the many benefits of joining the SU family!

So, without further ah do.....drum roll please.....

here's the bag:

hands up who wants to see more?

that's a sneak peek of the new colours btw!

note the posh grid paper.....which I had to bring home obvs!

diary/notebook/sketchbook with zentangly doodles in it,

so I passed this on to a zentangly doodly friend.....

some stamp sets.....squeeeeeal!

a pencil case and some pens

some washi tape

Then we got to play!

There was a big box on the table with lots of new goodies.....

These were our make n takes

card from a new kit

shaker using loads of new stuff

some new papers, embossing folder and stamp set.

Then we got to make a chart for the new colours

Then we got to share out the contents of the box!!!!

phew!

It was a full-on day,

and our bags were full too!

wait till you see the awesome swaps I received!

We'll do that another day though,

as I really must do some chores......

Enjoy your day

Sunday Splats

Morning!

A variation on another recent make.
you can see it HERE

This was one of those 'happy accidents'......

It all went a bit wrong when adding the sentiment,

so I chopped it down and mounted it like this. 

Must confess I quite like it, and it makes me even more anxious

to lay my hands on some new vertical sentiment stamps coming soon.

Oooops, did I say that out loud?

Shhhh don't tell anyone!

Enjoy your day

Three in a row with Timeless Textures

Happy Weekend!

Sharing a recent make n take, wish I could give credit to where I found the idea,

please feel free to complain if you recognise it.

Here's the first with Papillon Potpourri butterflies

The other uses Petite Petals flowers, with a grunged edge.

I used the technique where you hold the stamp bent in the hand,

instead of mounting it on a block.

We used the Wink of Stella for some of the splats,

the rest of the backgrounds used Timeless Textures

Here's some creations from the other play mates

pretty huh?

Wishing you Peace and Love

Inset and Splatter a Butterfly

Hiya

Just popping by to share a recent make....

wanted to share how to texture a background,

and leave a section unembossed.

We used to try this by using a thick shim to mask an area we didn't want to emboss.

Then I saw this tip....just die cut the area, and run the rest through the folder,

then simply replace the die cut shape, unembossed, stamped with a sentiment.

I used brush strokes and ink splats to decorate the area I wanted to cut the butterfly from.

Here's a few variations from my play mates...

and these.....

all mounted white on white

Happy Crafting
