Swimming with the mermaid...


Hello there!

I'm back from a short blogging break to show you a card made using this lovely new stamp from



First I stamped the image and then used a circle die cut set to layer onto Turquoise card.
Coloured in with Promarkers.

The stamp set also includes the mini fish and seahorse so I stamped and coloured these to match.

The Background is created by using Blue and Green coloured ink pads and a handmade scallop stencil to create the watery under the sea look.
I've not done this before but it works really well with this stamp.

I hand cut green glitter card for seaweed and then placed the the sentiment under the image along with the fish and lots of glitter and bead bubbles.

Finished off with some star confetti. 
(Old stash)


Some Challenges:






Hope you're all having a lovely summer with some crafty days thrown in!


Back soon with some more new makes!

Love from Sally-ann

Summer holiday update...and Sympathy card.


Hi there...
I have to admit, socialising has overtaken crafting this summer.
Which has been fabulous!

I've had some Majorcan sunshine and lots of cocktail nights and dinners out
 followed by more British Summer rain.









Theatre evening and Pottery workshops and even a trip to Cadbury Chocolate factory!
 



 



 

 Tonight I'm off to a 70's themed dinner party.
I'm hoping the sun stays next week for some more days out before its back to school!

But I thought I'd pop on here and show you some cards that I made last weekend.
Not easy to make Sympathy cards but my
Wild Rose Studio little Butterfly die 
is just perfect for these type of cards.


 I'm entering this card into 




I do hope you are all enjoying the weekend!
Thanks for popping in to see my work!


Love from

Raining cats and...cats!



Hello there!
Great weather for crafting I guess!
Where has the sun gone in the UK?
A few weeks ago and it was looking like the Summer break would be a good one!
I should have known better...


So here's my latest card.

Cat with heart stamp
Ditsy florals paper 

I always colour with Promarkers and Spectrum Noir pencils.
I thought the grey/pink/lilac was a good colour combination.

I'm entering this card into the challenges from

Well it's not quite the sunny start that I had hoped for my holidays but there's still time.
Hope you having fun crafting in the rain or enjoying some sun!


Lots of love from

Chasing the butterflies...



Happy Weekend everyone!
Hope you've all been busy crafting!
I've had a week off school so it was perfect for inking up my new stamps from 
and making a few cards with their new A4 paper packs.
I feel very guilty being inside when its really sunny so I crafted on the rainy dull days!


This is Dragon Running stamp and I've used it with the A4 Butterflies paper pack.
I cut out the two butterflies from one of the papers and glittered them up.
I like the idea of the dragon having fun running after them.

I coloured with Promarkers.

Some challenges;


Back soon with a scruffy cheeky cat!


Enjoy your Sunday!

Happy Mothers day...


Hi all...
Happy Mothers day weekend!


My card to celebrate Mothers day was made using
products.


I coloured with Promarkers and used Spectrum Noir pencils.
If you're a Promarker fan then do visit
 as they are selling off Promarkers with the old Letraset label at £1 each!
I love a bargain like that and had a lovely time re-stocking and checking out some new colours! 

Hope you all have a lovely day tomorrow whether you're a Mum yourself or you're out and about treating your Mum!

Have fun!

Bunny Ballerina....


Hello! 
Happy Saturday morning!

I had half term a week ago so I was able to do a little bit of colouring and make a few more cards with my new Wild Rose Studio products.


I used;
Bunny Ballerina stamp
Gilded Tags die
Dancing Daisies paper pack

I coloured the stamp with Promarkers and Spectrum Noir pencils.
Then fussy cut and mounted onto this lovely Tag die.






Some challenges;

Glitter 'N' Sparkle...Anything Goes
Simon says Wednesday...Tag you're it
Cute Card Thursday...Anything Goes
Animal Friends...Animals with Big ears 

I'm also linking up to the

30 day Colouring Challenge

I've only just found this blog but I've been looking at lots of lovely crafty ladies that I follow on Instagram use the hashtag to link up. If you're like me and spend lots of time colouring and want to learn some new tips and tricks, there's some tutorials to click on.
I'm a bit more of an Instagram lover than blogger of late just because its so much easier and quicker to share images. 


Hope you are having a Crafty weekend!

New A5 WRS Stamp set : Bella


Happy Weekend everyone.
 
Well,  New Year brings New stamps and this year
 
 
have taken it a step further and produced a new range of A5 stamp sets.
Each set has a main stamp, a sentiment, detailed corners and extra stamps that you might need to create a really lovely co-ordinated card or crafty project. 
So many possibilities! 
I'm so lucky to be a DT member for them and  have been sent all the new stamp sets to play with! 

How cute and pretty is this Bella set?
 
 
 
 I've been playing around with some paper piecing on my first Bella card.
I wanted something really colourful for the Balloons and a lovely blue sky to show off the white fluffy clouds and lilac butterflies.


Quite a simple card for my first go...no patterned papers on this one.


Some challenges:

 
 
Have a great week and thanks for coming to see my blog!

Sizzix Scotty dog card...



Hello there.
Happy New Year to you all!!

Wow...Just saw that I never managed a post in December.
Too busy working, shopping and Christmas card making. 
 Just some of the cards I made and sent out!

One of my best pressies was a new sewing machine from hubby so I'm hoping to start making some nice projects on this soon.


 

I've carried on making Christmas cards between Christmas and New Year as well as using lots of the new stamp sets from Wild Rose Studio and using up lots of odds and ends of papers and embellishments for a set of Spring cards!
Look out for those coming up in th next few posts!


One of the presents to myself was a tartan mug which came in a patterned box.
I have had trouble finding tartan papers so I just had to recycle the cardboard.



 I still love using some of my very old Sizzix dies.
They are great for some quick makes!

I also raided my fabric drawers to find some linen to match the kraft card that I used.

Challenges:


This is my last day at home before school starts again and I'm back in the classroom.

Please come back and do leave me a comment!

Thank you!


Love from Sally.

Duck mad George...


Hey all...

Dropping in mid week to show you a recent special order for a friend at work.
Her little boy George was celebrating his 1st Birthday and she wanted a card to show his love of Ducks with a Blue and Yellow theme...

This stamp was just perfect!
Stamped with extra ducks and coloured with Promarkers,
 I cut it out and mounted onto a scallop and circle base.
 I'm a huge fan of Gingham paper for babies cards so had to include this.
The big number 1 was hand cut and was great for the 'Happy Birthday' sentiment.
GEORGE was created out of glittery foam letters which came from The Works.
Check out that very cute Duck ribbon which was already in my stash 
and I have to say is a few years old.



Some challenges;

I love Promarkers...Anything Goes
Aud Sentiments...Anything Goes + sentiment
Crafty Friends...Special Occasions
Pile it On...Sparkle
I used Glitter Foam Letters.
Crafty Catz...Birds of a feather

Thanks for popping in to see my card.
I'll be back later!

Please leave me a comment as I love reading them!


Love from Sally-ann

Snowman Family...


Happy weekend all...
and we're into October already!
It's certainly getting darker and a bit cooler in the UK.

I've notched up a few weeks of Christmas card making now.
My latest card is made with 
stamps and papers.





This is a lovely stamp to colour in...I used my Promarkers to match it to the paper pack.
 I love the sentiment too, which will be so useful on lots of my cards!
I made the Poinsettias white this time with silver leaves to keep with the icy feel.
 
 




Challenges...
Christmas Card challenges...Anything Goes 
ABC Christmas...T is for Two
(Two Poinsettias, Two Doillies, Two kids)
Fab and Funky...Christmas

Hoping to get back into the craft room tomorrow for some special orders!

Have a great rest of the weekend!

Stocking Surprise...


Hello everyone....

So...did everyone survive the first week back to school!?
It was tough but we managed it here.
No blisters from new shoes but wearing trousers again on Friday was a bit weird.

I'm back making Christmas Cards at the weekends...

Here is another card using the Gorgeous New 
  releases:






I coloured the image with Promarkers and then used blue blending chalks 
with a small paintbrush around it.
Added lots of glitter glue and then sprinkled loose ultra fine glitter on top so it really has a sparkly raised texture!.

I did a bit of a close up crop to give you a better idea of the ultra fine glitter...
Think I got carried away with the white ink pen...
I just kept adding and then made some different sized dots for the snowflakes...


It's raining again now in West Sussex so maybe some more colouring
 while watching tv and eating tea and biscuits today!


Have a great crafty weekend!

Love from Sally
