Thanks for being wonderful you. I really mean it! Over the weekend I have passed 2500 subscribers over at my youtube page! It’s a huge milestone for me and I couldn’t have done it without you! So thank you for following and subscribing, it means the world to me!

As promised last week here is another stamp from a new stamp company I haven’t played with before, but been eyeing for some time (years I believe). This adorable mermaid is called Sea Song Mae and I had a blast colouring her up. For how I made her scales, watch the video, they are super simple to colour.

Hi!



I’ve got a lot of craft resolutions this year, things like trying out new stamps, techniques and products, taking courses to learn new ways to be creative and use the stuff I get. One part of this is to use my Simon Says Stamp card kits more than I’ve done the past months. I’ve also going to join in with more challenges, yet another way to try new things. I will also be creating more videos, instead of 1-2 videos a week, there will be at least 3, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I hope you join me this year, I think it’s going to be an awesome and creative one.

So this cards does a few of the resolutions in one. It’s based on the challenge over at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Inky backgrounds, also it uses the Simon Says Stamp January Card Kit from 2015 and I’m using my distress inks, which I am learning about in the Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 101 class over att Online Card Classes.

Distress Inks:
Dusty Concord
Chipped Saphire
Faded Jeans
Broken China
Tumbled Glass
Evergreen Bough
Pine Needles

Hi guys!

I’m here with another card for you today, this time with a adorable stamp called Annie’s Bear by Tiddly Inks. I’ve been eyeing that stamp company for a long time and one of my craft resolutions this year is to actually buy more stamps from a bigger variation of stamp companies. There is so many beautiful and cute stamps out there and I want them all!


After buying a bunch of digis I went to see if they had any challenges to play with, and wasn’t I surprised when I saw that they had a DT call. I do have room in my roster for one more company, so I’ve decided to try my chances. The DT call is open until the 15th of January so hop over and join in you too.

Happy New Year! We hope you have had a wonderful time over the holidays and wish you an amazing 2015! Today we are excited to be sharing a new release of beautifully illustrated flower stamps from Make it Crafty. They are intricate and delicate with lots of detail and are the perfect choice for many occasions. These gorgeous new flowers are available in both digital and rubber and the rubber stamps also come with a hand written sentiment, which of course you could use between all the different flowers.

I got to play with the Lilies, and as it is a sympathy card I wanted it to be extra clean. So I went with white on white, but to get a little bit of colour and sparkle I used a border stamp that I embossed with some yellow gold embossing powder. I coloured the Lilies with my copic markers and then cut them out and put them on foam squares just to get a natural” shadow behind them.

You can find all the new stamps here:

Sometimes you have an idea how your card is going to end up looking, but when you’re finished it looks completely different. This was one of those cards, I was thinking about pairing Sweet Chester by Little Miss Muffet Stamps with some lovely patterned paper, but then I was digging around for some matching cardstock and found this white wood grained cardstock from Simon Says Stamp that I’ve been meaning to use for months. I really love how clean and simple the card came out.

Hi!

This month challenge over at Make It Colourful is Glistening Snow, and you know me I love a challenge. I more of a character colourist, so doing scenes is kind of out of my comfort zone, but I must say I love to challenge myself. I’m not so good at putting together scenes myself so I use the pre-made scenes from Make It Crafty, this is the Winter Cottage Scene.
