Just Swinging By

Morning all,  a couple of cards to share with you today, not too much blurb, I have 2 classes tomorrow at Crafts U Love and have got to get the final prep done this morning and I am off to do a demo in Cardiff at the weekend so I might as well prep for that at the same time.

 

First I have another card from the Crafters Companion,s latest release A Year with Humphrey, this is the little Lottie “Swinging By”  stamp.

 

 

The image has been coloured with Spectrum Noirs and stamped with memento Ink on Neenah Classic Card, the subtle backing paper is from the Humphreys Corner Crafting Collection CD.  The roses have been made from the same backing paper with the Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms Die.

 

 

 

 

 

My next card is another experimental one playing with Spellbinders Dies, although this one is very plain and I was not going to use it for a post I thought it would be good to share my experimental journey with you from the beginning.  I am having a great time combining 2 completely different types of crafting in a day, I felt I was getting stale and bored but this last week I have re-discovered why I took up crafting.

 

 

 

I bought some new Spellbinders dies at Ally Pally, they were still in their packaging so I thought it was time I took them out and had a play, The Bitty Blossoms rose was layer onto a Little doily from The Moroccan Accents set, and the larger doily behind is an Older die I think it is called Snowflake, the Sentiment is stamped onto a Label die from Parisian Accents all have been edged with Spun Sugar Distress Ink.

 

The Corner Stamps and sentiment are from various Stempleglede stamp sets.

 

The distressed papers are by FabScraps and will be available from the J & C Creations website later this week, I have used Stampendous Frantage Pearlised Mica Fragments, and Lavender Crushed Glitter Glass on the centre border.  I am pleased to tell you that the Stampendous Frantage products (as shown on Create and Craft) should be available on the  J & C Creations website from tomorrow.

 

 

 

have a good day all

Hugs
