Im Back!

Hey, ive been away for a little while now, ive had a stinking cold but managed to get some crafting done. My first peice on this blog which isnt a card or even been stamped!! It's not quite finished yet i need to get some silver embroidery thread and get to work on the right side ill stick some more pictures up when im fully finished (sorry again about the really shoddy camera quality!!)

This is a picture of our babies Pepper (left) Souppie (Right) curled up together sleeping, i know its not crafting but "mmmm...kawaii ^.^" (for anyone who doesnt know me kawaii is a japanese word meaning cute)

Simply Botanical

Here's some new cards! yay! My mum asked me if I could make some thank you cards for her for some friends (she would have asked rosina but being half-tearm she thought she might have enough to do =/) so i thought id use some scraps i had from my last few challanges.

Here we have two cards made with the Botanical Blossoms Sale-a-bration stamp set and Simply said stamp set. I devided to colour in the flowers instead of two-step-stamping and it was actually quite effective.

And yes i decorated the inside, it makes for clearer, easier writing and means I get to stamp more (make more use of my stamp sets!) its the same reason why i decorate the envelops.

Blossom Friend Flair

Another card using a combination of Fall Flair, (my hostess set) and Botanical Blossoms (one of my sale-a-bration sets) Ive used a combination of bold bright inks and Earth elemants card. Hope you like.

I made this card for my wonderful friend Kim who is living in Italy and i cant wait to write and send it to her. The saying is a friend is someone who makes it easy from simply said (yes a decent camera is on my "to get" list)

2 in 1 Challange

Hi this is my entry for 2 challanges, Abi's Funky Friday and Katherina's sketch (check my fave sites for more details. Im also using it as a get well soon card for my mum. I had to replace green galore with handsome hunter because i have no green galore ink. well happy blogging.

Bithday Candle

A whole new meaning to the word birthday candle. A cheap fun present ill let you guess who for lol (even a good idea for a hostess reward or workshop which is different) see the tutorial for stamping on candles here. And don’t worry about the tissue paper it takes itself into the candle no problem. and ignore the American "wax paper" just ordinary Greaseproof Paper or Baking Paper will do it.

I used:
Fall Flair hostess rewards stamp set, Bold Butterfly stamp set, Botanical Blossoms Sale-a-bration Stamp set and a small heart from the sale-a-bration stamp set Yummy.

It ran a little bit in places so I think I might have over inked a bit but practice makes perfect.

Simply Butterflies

I made this card a while ago and pictured it knowing I would make a blog using my Simply said and Bold Butterfly stamp sets; Elegant Eggplant ink and card with Pretty in Pink ink and Card (could be pixie pink I cant remember) I got this idea (again) from some one on Split Coast Stampers but I cant remember who (sorry)

Tangy Inspiration

My new Tart and Tangy stamp set! With Real Red Strawberries and Green Galore Stalks I enjoyed making these. the words are from one of the sale-a-bration stamp sets "yummy" will have to re-do the notebook though because I messed up the corner image (why I didn’t use my stamp-a-ma-jig is beyond me) That’s "tempting Turquoise" card on the notebook and a strip of designer paper from "summer picnic" will add a tutorial for the box later.
