 Cutting Cafe

I wanted to go with a vintage Christmas theme.  I used my scan n cut to fussy cut the digital image and then coloured her in with my pencils.  I wanted to layer some book page music sheets and go with a traditional theme of red and green.  I used my eyelet setter to add interest to the sentiment.  

I hope you can find some inspiration.

Hello Spring - My Journal Page

Hello fellow crafters, today is journal page day. I'm sharing a page from my journal that I am working on. This is for the Ally's Angels Challenge as always anything goes.  I wanted to get a bit arty with mixed medial and really enjoyed creating this one.  The stamps were freebies in Creative Stamping Magazine.  

Check out the challenge over on: 

I stamped and fussy cut the lightbulb and coloured this with some distress inks.  I used some metallic pens on the screw part of the bulb.  I distress inked the backgrounds and used some stencils to create some texture along with some spritzed water to diffuse the ink.  Finished with some washi tape.  

Thanks for stopping bye.

Mad Hatter

Hello Crafters, it's another challenge over on CRAFT Challenge and this weeks sponsor is 

The theme this week is Inspired by a Movie.

Well I decided on the Mad Hatter's Tea Party for my theme.  I love Alice in Wonderland, it's so whimsical. If you visit Llandudno in Wales, there is a park with some beautiful Alice in Wonderland sculptures set in a lovely park. You can see Alice spotted around the town as this article explains it wonderfully.

" The Welsh connection runs much deeper – all the way back to 1861, when the eight year old Alice Pleasance Liddell (the real 'Alice' in Wonderland) spent the first of many summer holidays in Llandudno. Her holiday home ‘Penmorfa’, was built on Llandudno’s West Shore. The Liddells were close family friends with Charles Dodgson, who wrote the books under his more famous pen-name, Lewis Carroll.

It’s long been speculated that Carroll visited the Liddells at the holiday home they built here, and was inspired by Alice and her adventures in Llandudno."

It is such a lovely place to visit, we often visit.  

Back to my card. 

I used Kraft card blank and trimmed it to A6.  I used my trusty pink and green colour theme, I just love these two colour combinations. With it being a digital stamp, Mad Hatter, I used my coloured pencils for this, as often said before, I just don't get along with alcohol markers.  I prefer the softer blends of the pencils.  

  

I used some fussy cut butterflies and some elements of paper emphera such as the little cards and clocks. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you can be inspired by my little blog

The Paper Funday Challenges: April 2024 Challenge #64 - Anything Goes with Optional Twist: Sweet Treats

Possoms Teapot

Good afternoon, it's another challenge over at CRAFT Challenge again and this week's sponsors are 

       Colour of Love  

For this project, the theme was Not A Card.  As  I also make junk journals, I decided to make a lovely journal card.  I love turning essentially junk items into something pretty.  I used a tag that came with a pet toy, I keep all sorts of things, you would be amazed once you join the junk journal world, the possibilities are endless so you end up keeping all sorts of stuff.  

I firstly backed the store tag with some coffee dyed paper, I make this in batches and it smells lovely ! I used a ordinary glue stick to adhere the coffee paper to the store tag for some nice writing space.  

On the front of tag, I printed out the lovely image from Colour of Love, the possoms are adorable aren't they? I loved colouring this little image.  I then inked the background and inked the edges.  

I simply adhered the topper to the front of the store tag and left the colours of the tag as they went really well with topper. Put the eyelet in and ribbon and added some decorative lace and a bow and some ribbon trim.

All in all a pretty little journal card made from what would have been thrown away.  

I hope you can take a look around and see what things could be used to make pretty tags and journal cards. It's a great way to stretch your creativity.
