No2 of the new Gorjuss stamp sets- The Friendly Hedgehog

So today I sat down and made a quick CAS card with another of the new Gorjuss stamps. This one is from a set called "The Friendly Hedgehog".

I've made the card blank and sentiment with the Cricut Explore. For the image I stamped it out, coloured her face and hair with copics and shin hans and then paper pieced her clothes with the Neroli paper pad.

Battery Tea Light Holders

Here are some really simple but pretty battery tea light holders that I just made.

The tumblers are from Wilko and are plastic and only cost £1. The cover is a Silhouette store file by Nic Squirrel and of course the stamp is a Gorjuss stamp called "I love you little rabbit". I've coloured the skin and hair and paperpieced the rest. I've used some battery operated tea lights to put inside.

Window Slider Card

Hello bloggers today I'd like to show you a card I just made.

Because of health reasons I've given up most of my DT work except the two which I feel I want to keep on. But now I have more time to do what I love doing most and that's using my Cameo to make 3D projects.

So there will be lots of those on my blog very soon including one for this week's CCT on Thursday.

Enough waffle now onto today's card.

I used a file by my favourite designer Lori Whitlock - Window slider card : bracket. You can find it in the Sil store.

The papers are by American Crafts and are called Colour Crush.

And of course the image is a Gorjuss image called Bluebird Proposal.

More from me on Thursday .

Morning, on Monday I received my new Spectrum Noir pencils but didn't have a chance to play until yesterday. So today I'd like to show you my first try at using them.

I've used a fab Gorjuss girl image and my pencils with blending fluid and stumps.

I really enjoyed using them and found them easy to blend , much easier than the pens in fact. 

Think I'll make her into a card later.

Im off to Hobbycraft and TKMax to see what goodies I can find,

Papertake Weekly Challenge

Wow another post from me today, what's the matter with me?? It's pouring down and gloomy so what better way to cheer yourself up than going into your craftroom and playing.
I still have goodies left from the SECC that I haven't used yet so wanted to use a particular stamp that I love.
This card is for the Papertake Weekly Challenge. Here's the sketch

 

And here's my card

 

Image: Gorjuss - The white rabbit
Sentiment: Sam Pooles Art Sayings
Papers: Theresa Collins - Now and Then
Butterfly strip: Crafty Too washi tape
Clock hand dies: Cameo
Flowers: Tonic punch
Leaves: Martha Stewart punch
Pearls, silver findings from my stash

I have stitched around the papers. The flowers are punched with a Tonic punch, I've punched out 5 of them and glued them into layers curling as I go. I distress inked them around the edges. I'm not 100% happy with my technique yet but practise makes perfect!!
