Autumn Frosted Leaves andHalloween Rosettes

posted in Arts & Crafts, card making, Craft Shopping, crafting, Die Cutting, Embelishments, Rustic,stamping by SarahToday….. I did a massive tidy up in my shed, it got hoovered, dusted and polished!

Then I sat down at my nice clean desk and pondered on what to make…

I started off by die cutting some autumn leaves from clearly besotted stamp, then I stamped the diecuts… and kinda left them like that… after dinner I headed back up to my shed and decided theywould look good with a coating of frost…

supplies list :-

Clearly Besotted Autumn flowers stamp and die setTim Holtz Clear rock Candy Distress Dry GlitterGlossy AccentsHero Arts Mid Tone Shaddow Ink : Butter Bar, Green Hills & Cup o Joe

Then, when I was clearing up earlier today I found the Tim Holtz rosette die that I bought at Hobbycraft a couple of weeks ago, and had not got round using yet… so I looked out some Halloweenpapers and gave it a whirl through my Cuttlebug.. love how they turned out, I just need to have athink about what I can make to put them on! …I think they would look good with some die cut batsin the centres… I might just do something along those lines tomorrow and do an update.

Hi everyone…

I’m still here….. just!

Not finding an awful lot of time to do much crafting these days, up to my ears in work and mydesire to craft has been well and truely zapped!

However, I did buy a new stamp set the other day and headed up to my shed to make somethingwith it.

The stamp set is by Paper Smooches and has a few nice sentiments on it.

Both cards are the same design, in two different colour ways.. the first is an aqua blue and whitecard

Vintage Lace Birthday Card

posted in Arts & Crafts, card making, crafting, Die Cutting, Distressing, Embossing, Handmade,Inking, Painting, Paper Crafting, Sewing, Shabby Chic, stamping by SarahI have spent most of today up in my shed… crafting away whilst keeping in mind the UIU Pledge(Use It Up)

I bought sheets of chipboard months and months ago and i’ve not been using it as much as I should,so I cut up one of the big sheets today to a standard size card proportion and gave them all a coat ofwhite acrylic paint, with a view to making the easel type cards that I love so much

I made 2 valentines cards, then my hubby asked me to make him a card for his mum’s birthday,which is tomorrow..

This is what I came up with… I had been previously working on the material panel, so I used this upand adhered it to the front of the card..
