Layered Butterflies

Here's a clean and simple looking card, with my latest favourite stamp set.

Memories of summer

Time for a second inspiration piece for our Country View Challenge on the theme Sun, Sea and Sand chosen by Corrie. I have made a card with another piece of alcohol background on Yupo using Tim Holtz's Alcohol lift ink.

Seaside play

I'm showing this beach scene today as I'm too hot to contemplate doing anything but dipping my toes in cool water...

Seeing double

Some more seaside inspired makes... This time I used special folds cards to double my stamping domain so I was able to use 1 image on each side :

Mixed Media card with a shortcut

I do like to play with Mixed Media, but sometimes a shortcut is welcome! I created this card with new supplies from Crafts u love, in particular this beautiful paper pack:

Got any hoes?

Dear readers and followers, no sea inspired make today but something for a very special occasion!

You've already seen the front of this Birthday card, I can now reveal the inside...

Seashells on the seashore

Today I'm showing one of the samples I made for Crafty Individuals Hochanda shows last week.  Last week I showed the CI- 497 Tropical Sunset (see my post here), now for the second one, CI-496 a beautiful large stamp full of seashells.

The call of the sea at Hochanda

Crafty friends, maybe you caught Crafty Individuals' shows on Hochanda on Friday at 3pm or yesterday at 10am. It featured new products, old favourites and samples created by moi… yes by me, myself with my fair hands!!! I bet you can tell I'm excited even from the other end of the wire...

If you missed either shows you can catch-up here and here the artwork was simply amazing, and I'm not talking about mine but the rest of the DT samples!

Sun, sea, sand and alcohol

With the sweltering heat no wonder we are thinking of holidays in the sun at Country View Challenges….

I wouldn't recommend throwing alcohol in the mix, but hey, I had to try my new supplies, fresh out of Tim Holtz' release. I tested the Alcohol Lift Ink and I am now sharing the results of my experiments.

Box card

Do you feel, like me, that you are wasting those beautiful double sided 12x12 papers by only using one side?

If so, this fairly simply constructed shaped card is for you... it allows both sides of the paper to get seen and only requires your basic crafting tools.

Age is...

It has been so hot over here that I couldn't even lift a stamp! Which is why it's been so quiet these last weeks on my blog. But, today there is a break in the weather and I have managed this item:

Tropical heat

Hot, hot, hot... a taste of the tropics!
