Tuesday Taggers

Hi Guys

I know that it has been a long time since my last post but it is like buses, nothing comes for ages and then 2 turn up at once.

Firstly today I am going to show you my Tuesday Taggers card.  This week the theme is Weddings which has been chosen by the lovely Pat and we are sponsored by Craft Barn.

I have used the Bride papers from SU! and have coloured with Pretty in Pink and Bashful Blue using my brayer.  Roll over one way and turn it through 90˚ and roll over again, keep doing this until you have gone all the way round.

I have punched two holes at the top of the card and threaded through Bashful Blue and Pretty in Pink taffeta ribbon and then tied in a knot.  I have used some lovelies from my pretties kit just to jazz it up a bit.

The birds have been made by using the 2 step Bird Punch from SU! in the same colour way and just switched the wings over.  When you are punching out the wings remember to place the card in upside down for one side otherwise you will end up with wings going the same way.  I have backed this all onto Very Vanilla card stock.

Well until next time

Altered? - You Bet!

Hi Guys

Well this week it is Lynns week to choose what we are to do on TT's. She has chosen the theme 'alter it' and has produced a fabulous light switch.

I chose to use a blank wooden frame and a candle that I had. The frame is covered in Bridesmaid Speciality Papers from SU!. I have brayered over the paper with pixie pink ink. The foil on the paper resists the ink and you get a lovely effect. I have finished the frame with some butterflies from the 'Flight of the Butterfly' set and punched out with the coordinating punch (on offer at the moment. Buy the stamp set at regular price and get the punch with £2.50 off)

My candle has been done by stamping onto white tissue paper and punching out. I have stuck the tissue paper to the candle and then wrapped grease proof paper round it and heated it til the tissue paper is embedded in the wax. I made a little pot for it to stand in again made from Bridesmaid paper. I have then stamped the little butterfly from the set and cut out with scissors.

I hope you like and until next time

Happy Crafting

Sale A Bration Blog Hop

Hi Guys

Well as you should know January and February are Sale-a-Bration months for Stampin' Up! During these months for every £45 you spend you earn a free stamp set from the promotion brochure.

You should have come here from the lovely Kim's blog and you will carry on to the lovely Caroles blog.

Without further ado here is my project for this blog hop. I have created a bag and a card for this hop.

I have used the Good Neighbour and the Whimsical Words set. In order to make this bag and card I have used the Bride Designer Paper Series and the Bella Bleu set.

To colour the stamp set I have used the Stampin' Write markers to colour the stamps. Ballet Blue and Real Red to colour the house. The roof has been coloured with Really Rust. I have coloured in under the house in Green Galore. The tree has been coloured with Close to Cocoa and Old Olive. I have used my blender pen to blend the Old Olive into the tree.

I cut all of the images out and then stuck them on to the 1 3/8" circle punched out Very Vanilla and then stuck this onto a Scallop circle punchout from Bella Bleu paper. I have also used the eyelet border punch.

When I get home tomorrow (Monday) I will post instructions on how to make the bag-box.

Until next time, happy crafting
