Being Krafty with a Set of Stamps

By
The challenge this week at Gingersnap Creations is to use a set or line of stamps. One of my Christmas pressies was a sheet of Papermania Urban Stamps. The ones I have used today are the Botanical Print - take a look


I wish I had taken a better picture as I made a Tent Card but you can just about see the decoration inside - camera batteries died on me just as had taken this pic!
The base is a piece of Kraft card stock and I added some blue polka dot background paper, the tiny butterflies are from the Kraft cs too - I tried to add some liquid pearl drops but they all merged into one long blob! All stamping is done with a Memento ink pad in Rich Cocoa and it has been used to sponge the edges too.. After punching the aperture the piece removed was then placed inside.
I am also entering this card into the 'Anything Goes' challenge at The Kraft Journal - bye for now - Jacqueline xx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
