hello

And hello again! This little kitty was one of the first stamps I ever bought! He is a wood mounted stamp by WhipperSnapper called Potted Kitty. He has always been a favourite and every wee while he gets inked up, coloured and made into a card. This time he has been taken a step further and stars in my latest video! It's a speedy look at how I coloured him using Copic Marker pens and can be found here.

While the camera was out I filmed a really quick look at my die storage. I use CD cases, card and magnetic sheets. That video is here.

Hello. Another card made with my Unity stamps. This time the stamps are from the November 2014 kit. And again I have 'stencilled' the background. This time using a simple homemade stencil by cutting out a couple of circles. Really easy!

Hello. We had a lovely relaxing time during our wee break away in Dunkeld. The cottage was really comfortable and long nights were spent in front of the fire with a little drink or two! We found dog friendly places for morning coffee and scones (with a platter of home made jams and lemon curd) and yummy pub lunches. We will definately go back to Perthshire.

Anyways, onto my card. My March Unity kit arrived this morning and I had to have a play. This weeks challenge at Unity is 'sage & mustard' so that's what I went with. The background is a stencil and I used some glittered paste that I got at the SECC craft show - oh, about 3 years ago - tut, tut!

My mahoosive Easter giveaway is still open here. Have you left a comment yet for a chance to win?

somebunny sends smiles

Hello. Tis the season for chocolate and bunnies! So, I have one out of two for you today (don't ask where the chocolate went). The stamps are 'somebunny' by My Favourite Things and I coloured with Copic marker pens - yes, I have put down the watercolour pencils - for now! The papers are 'hello spring' by Doodlebug Designs. And those of you on new die spotting duty (yes, Carole, that's you) they are Blueprints 27 from MFT.

And, do you know I was just thinking, I've not done a blog giveaway for ages. Maybe one will be along soon - you just never know!

out of this world

Hello. I wonder if Tim up in the space station has spotted these adorable creatures?  The stamp set is Space Bears by Mama Elephant and I coloured using watercolour pencils. Want to see a quick two minute tutorial on how I use my watercolour pencils? Well, click right here!

Thank You

Hello. I have gone all monochrome for my latest make for Craft Stash. This one features the Nouveau Corner and Nouveau Butterfly dies. I layered black cardstock behind the white but slightly off to create a sort of shadow effect. Haven't a clue what I mean? Well, you're in luck, there's a video!

See you tomorrow when I will be sharing a very cute card featuring bears in space - who knew!!

i eat cake

Hello. This stamp and sentiment are from the Unity Stamps February kit of the month. I coloured with my Stabilo pens, some water and a paintbrush. The background heart was stenciled using a large stencil brush and coloured inks. I am entering my card into the Unity facebook challenge.

Well, I didn't appear with my Craft Stash video and card the other day as promised. Maybe tomorrow!

Thank You

Hello.Well, I'm back as promised with another of my makes for Craft Stash. This one has a little video to go along with it! I have used an Apple Blossom die called 'Nouveau Shield'. This is a really unusual die and would suit all different occasions. I decided to make a thank you card using an ombré effect with black and grey cardstock.

My little video is here and you can buy the die here. I have one more Craft Stash card and video to share, most likely tomorrow. See you then!
