Sailing Home with Stampin. Up!

Hi there, how's things?!

I think we are all struggling with  life's rich tapestry,

which is one reason I like blogging, to share what I've been up to,

but also to see what fellow bloggers are up to too!

It's hard to find the time for it, but we all do our best,

and if we don't manage to visit and comment as much as we'd like,

we all know in our little crafty community, that it's ok.

Like all good friends, it's the thoughts that count :)

Meantime I'm sharing a fave set from the new catalogue "Sailing Home"

We got to see it at Onstage, and I was lucky to receive the "Birch" background stamp too.

I immediately saw how I could use both together,

but it's taken me since April to try it out!

I love all the elements in the set, so many options for individual elements or whole scenes.

The dies give a professional finish, and saves time! 

Above you can see I used gold shimmer paint to edge the card base, to save another layer.

(More on Shimmer paints soon, as I held a fun class with it!)

Under that the picture shows the Birch background,

stamped with the stamparatus using a dauber with different inks.

First I inked in crumb cake, the "mound" (as I saw it).

Using the Stamparatus I was able to daub until I was happy with the effect.

It's a really easy and foolproof way of achieving a multi coloured image.

Below you can see how I placed the lighthouse on the "mound" in the "sea"

If I don't send this one in the post, 

I might add one of the adorable metal charm embellishments available in this suite

Have a fabulous weekend

Garage Gears

Hi there

I hope all is well with you and yours.

I'm sharing a couple more projects we did at Kim Fee's Retreat recently.

I absolutely love these male cards using Geared up Garage.

The one above has a motorbike fussy cut from the fab papers that coordinate.

The one below is a "Tunnel" card, with a fussy cut car.

I tried to take a pic from above so you can see the dimension.

Photography NOT my strong point!

Have a great weekend

Hugs from Shelli (4)

Hello there

Here's the final design from the Hugs from Shelli kit

Again the card base is printed, but the birds were stamped on top,

the lovely die cut vellum feather is just adorable,

the twine and velvet ribbon add depth.

Hope you've had a good weekend
