Mini Halloweenies

I have been making a few Halloween mini cards using my sugar Nellie stamps.

1 sketch 3 cards

1 Sketch 3 cards
I found a sketch on splitcoast stampers so I had a go at the sketch using different stamps, different papers & colours.
The stamp set used is by Stampin up called Best blossoms. The papers are Laura Ashley.

All of the card used is from the 4 collections available from Stampin up.

I'm lovin Sugar Nellies

I am lovin my Sugar Nellie's, I have been stamping them onto my watercolour pad and sitting watching the rain whilst colouring them.

I have just taken delivery of the Halloween set of Sugar Nellie's so my challenge next week is to make some cards with them, in the delivery I ordered a "sweet Ebony" but i'm now not sure if I like it.


The background paper is Laura Ashley, backing card is Bazzill & the greeting is a Hero Arts stamp.


The backing paper is again from a Laura Ashley paper pack, the backing card is bazzill & the greeting is a Stamping Up Rub on.

The backing paper is from Dovecrafts masculine paper pack, the stars are cut with a Sizzix paddle punch from Bazzill bling card in 3 colours & the guitar is covered in 3d gloss.


I know this one isn't a sugar nellie but I made it tonight after seeing a card with these words in Marks & Spencers window, I thought it was so simple & very effective, I will make it in boy colours tomorrow. The font is cut on the Cricut from the mini monograms cartridge.

I want to say a big thank you to Robyn
The pink stamper
She has saved me a fortune, I watched some of her videos in bed the other night and she made some quick cards using the Cricut Mini Monograms cartridge. She used the scalloped circles. Now I have been toying with the idea of buying a couple of sets of Nestabilities to make the scalloped layers, I just love that effect. Well she makes her scalloped layers using her Cricut, it just goes to show how much I have looked at these cartridges.
So thank you Robyn.

Just using up some bits & pieces

Great Impressions stamp

In between doing the housework & washing yesterday I kept nipping into the craft room to make a few cards, using up some of the stamped & coloured images laying around on my desk.

What else does it need ?

What else does this need?
I keep looking at this card & cant help feeling that it needs something else, I know that less is more but I don't feel that this card is finished.
Any ideas are welcome.......

Many thanks for all of your suggestions, I decided to go with the flowers, I have used 3 double layer prima flowers with a tiny gemstone brad in the middle.

Using up the little bits

After finishing my bind-it-all project and my penny Black Saturday challenge I had some of the lovely Nitwits collection papers left over, being a canny crafter I just had to use them all up.

Still loving my Pink Petticoat downloads, I got a couple more this week the new home & the dinosaurs I haven't yet had chance to play with them, I have that pleasure to come.

And last but not least Sugar Nellie rubber stamps, I bought them some time ago and stamped them up in staz-on in my watercolour pad there they stayed until last week when I needed my pad for something else. I made up some cards & now I need more Sugar Nellie's.

Sugar Nellie cards

I have had my sugar nellie stamps for a couple of months now and still hadn't managed to make any cards, well I addressed that today and made a few cards with the 3 stamps I have, the only problem is I now want some more stamps but the ones I like are out of stock at the moment.

Struggling to find my creative Mojo

Oh what a funny day......I couldn't settle to anything and feel like I have lost my creative mojo. I spent 3 hours in my craft room this afternoon and these four cards are all I could come up with, I know 4 cards isn't bad but the images were some that I had already pre-coloured & matted ready for mounting.






















































All of the images are mounted on Bazzill Bling, its just so yummy I am using it on everything.
