Some more christmas stuff

I made quite a few of these this year.These two are the ones I made for Olivia's teachers.And the other one i made was more 3d as it as the flowers were mounted on a foam ring.The flowerds are so easy to make from the Stampin Up Oval punch .
To make the flower..
Punch out 8 ovals from double sided paper, ink the edges, make a fold on each side at one end to form a point.
Glue the eight pieces onto a punched out circle. Cover a die cut circle of chipboard with paper Cropadile two holes to make a button and tie in the centre of your flower and that's it.

Owls

Andrea gave me some printed out owls to colour in , they are so cute. Here's what i did with them once they were coloured

Lots of christmas

Busy busy busy it's that time of year again , anyway here are some christmas creations ive done over the last couple of weeks.

Busy , so no blogging for ages

I have used one of my very favourite stamps on these ATC's .It's a lovely skull stamp by Michelle Ward .I also used my love new punch by Martha Stewart I just know im going to use dripping blood on everthing now lol

Life , Busy , but here is a picture of the ATC's i made for a halloween swap . Got lots to do at the moment so must remember to take photos and add them on here for all to see.

Halloween

I dont realy need an excuse like Halloween to make soemthing like this as all my art work for myself is donr in these colours and theme lol. But since it's coming soon i thought why not indulge. Spent Monday making this and for a change got it startted and finished in a day.

4 CARDS

Another set for another swap , the stamp is an old one i have had for a lot of years i think it's by Queens Dresser Draws. I just stamped it onto a distresssed tag and then mounted it on the card. The corners are laser cut which i coloured with liquid chalk to match the papers.

Just simple

A very simple book i have made with the Bind It All. It's for putting LAST years holiday photo's in all i need to do now is print them out. Im thinking i might make another for my brother as they spent teh first week of the holidays with us.

Another Layout

I like scrapping but never seem to get the time at home , or space. Dont get me wrong i DO have the space a spare double sized bedroom , just there is never any spare/clean surfaces to put anything down as big as 12x12 , im sure a lot of you know what i mean lol.
So this was done were most of my scrapping is done at a crop .

Stick it out

And as you can see from the layout she did lol. Funny little thing that she is , she loves pulling faces and doing silly things.Which makes life fun and i get some great pictures to scrap

Quilting

I dont realy do sewing and my sewing machine is crap and was realy cheap , just realy for sewing paper and messing around. But having started this quilt i now feel i need a better one. Will have to start shopping. So here it is my first attempt at quillting . Still alot to do , but im pleased with what ive done up to now. It wasn't suposed to be in these colours but my jelly roll didn't turn up in time so looked throu my pill of material and found these fat quarters and soem other that i can use for the sides and backing. will post again with more pics when more is done.

Yet MORE cards

Ok that's all i seem to make at the moment.These again were made for a swap , theme this time being Birthdays.I love this large birthday stamp , it's a Purple Onion one and are available in the shop www.3djean.co.uk , in the rubber stamp section if your interested.It just seems to work so well.
Well tomorrow im having a change from card making. Im going to attempt to start my first ever quilt.

Just for fun

I made these cards just for fun ie not for any swap.

Stamp-n-Foil

ooooo how nice is this stuff , so nice it's now in the shop , want some here's the link www.3djean.co.uk This is a tag made with the Stamp-n-Foil , Stampee Diva made it for a tag swap i was in.She's the wonderfull lady who is responsable for this wonderful Stamp-n-Foil fun Here is how she made it
1. The tags were cut out of a cream colored parchment style card stock.

2. The edges of each tag were aged with a combination of Slate and Meadow Adirondack alcohol inks from Ranger. I just took a few drops of each color on the dabber and added a bit of blending solution. Then I started with the dabber off of the tag and brought the color onto the edges and blended. This gave the tag a nice aged effect that coordinated with the distress technique used to apply the Stamp-N-Foil.

3. Using a large french script stamp inked with Encore gold pigment ink, both from Stampin' Up, I stamped the background image over the whole card.

4. Using the distressed foil technique I applied Stamp-N-Foil in Aquamarine, from Stampee.net, over the entire background image. Note: when the turquoise foil is removed, small areas of gold pigment ink are revealed.

5. After the background was completed I used an embellished Cherish stamp inked with Encore gold pigment ink, both from Stampin' Up, to stamp the image in the top right hand corner of the tag.

6. I then used the distressed foil technique to apply Orange Stamp-N-Foil to the newly stamped image.

7. My tags were ready for swappin'. :)

want to see how it's done well here is the video www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhu_Bz-C5y4

Flowers

Hats

A great photo of Olivia with a friend of ours Ian. It was Goth Weekend at Whitby and the two of them where trying on lots of hat in a shop. I cant remember who's paper it is but i do like it and thought it suited the photo fine

Scarlet Lime

How i love these kits. Ive been getting them for most of the year and each month is packed with so much lovelyness. Anyway it takes me ages to use it all but this is my lastest creation using one of the kits. Cant remember which month is was though .The photo i used is just one of Olivia messing around with bubbles in the bath.

Some Tgas

Efemera sets us tags to do over on the pad to do with the alphabet and im very behind with them . In fact ive only done 4 , here they are.

Bad Blogger

Ive been a very bad blogger , 2 month's and nothing , but panic over im back.
I wanted to post a picture of the lovely Shimmerz products

I love them so much that i am stocking them , pop over to the shop if your interested. www.3djean.co.uk .I have been using them to paint prime flowers to give them a sparkle.

A while

You know how it is busy busy busy , but i have had time today to have a little mess around here are the results . I love this stamp set by Hero Arts .
Ive now made three sets just in slightly different colours . Have just got some new stamps from Hero Art so i think i may have a mess with them tomorrow

Bombshell Stamps

I just love the Bombshell Stamps that i sell and thought it was about time i made something with them. So here is my take on a shadow/shrine box that Gail made for Craft Stamper. Seemed to be very hard to get a good picture of it , but i dont think this one is too bad.

No more cute

The cute stuff just couldn't continue and I had to get back to grunge. So here are the lastest cards with a box to hold them in. These stamps are my favourite ones that I have and they are Stampotique ones. The paper another big favourite Basic Grey.

Another Mirror

I wanted to make another one for a friend of mine and thought i would use these lovely papaers out of my Scarlet Lime kit with some of teh embelishments that went with it . I think she will like it .

I DONT Do Cute

Honest I dont , but I wanted to make a thank you gift for a friend , and just know she will love this cards set I have made for her .

And i never by cute , but here we are again looking at 2 cute stamped girl images , so yes i have bought 2 cute stamps , but having a 9 year old girl is my excuse .

The papers are Making Memories and i have had them for years .I realy must start using my papers up lol

The box is one that a friend of mine makes and all i have done for this is make it bigger so that it fits 6x6 size cards.

Mirror mirror on the wall

Here is the other class i did for the cyber crop.Just a cheap mirror from Ikea 97p , last of the big spenders lol.The chipboard is painted with black crackle paint , i love thsi stuff. The paper used is one of the 7gypsies new flocked ones , very nice. And then just lots of stamping and embelishments on the fan pieces.

Scrapped at home

Yes ive scrapped at home today , dont often do this , i never seem to have the time. There is a week long cyber crop going on on the pad so i thought i would try and do soem of the layouts and use up a whole collection of Basic Grey. I was also asked to do 2 classes and this is one of the layouts i have done for it. Now i must get of here and go and do some of those other layouts.

New stamps

Got a few new stamps so thought i would have a mess around and here are the cards i made with them . I just love the big Happy Birthday stamp it's by Purple Onion

Mother 's Day cards

Her are the Mother's Day Cards I made this year .This time i have just used the March Scarlet Lime kit for making them .
