The start of a Project

So I thought I would share with you a project that I have started today. This card is for a class that I am teaching in a few weeks. I thought I would use my favorite product on this card, and yes you have guessed it, my favorite thing to use is Tim Holtz distress inks. I have also added in some distress stains, which are new to the shop where I teach my classes. I won't show you a pictures of my whole desk as the stuff on it is stacked high, I am now working in a space on my desk that is no bigger than about 8" square lol.

So here are some sneak peeks of the project so far!! I am hoping to finish this tomorrow and then I will show more pictures.

As you have proberly figured out the stamp set I am using is Tim Holtz Papillon rubber stamp set. This is also available at the craft room. Well I will be back tomorrow with an update and more pictures.

Thanks for stopping by

La la lands Marcia

Firstly I would like to apologise for the terrible quality of the photo, but the lighting here is terrible. Outside the rain is pouring and it's blowing a gale and really dark. The colours in the photo are really dull but in real life they are very bright.

The nestabilities used are a set that I purchased at The craft room. And the stamp is Marcia from Lala land crafts. I have coloured her with Pro Markers and also paper pieced her dress. Hope everyone is having a good week, nearly the weekend :0) thank goodness. I think a nice relaxing weekend is in order. TTFN

Friendship card

Hi everyone, Hope you are enjoying this glorious sunshine that we have today. Today I have a card to share with you that was made yesterday. I love how this card has turned out. I love the colours of the papers with the tiny floral print on them.

Dressform - Tim Holtz Sewing room die

Papers - Blush collection, lost and found by My Minds eye.

Sewing machine die - Joy! crafts (from the Craftroom Newton Abbot)

Tape measure from stash

Ribbon on dress from The craft room Newton abbot

Here is a view of the inside of the card, I just added a strip of the designer paper and then stamped the dressform over the top

Hope you like this card, I love it. As you can guess this will be another boxed card as it is too dimensional to fit into an envelope

Hi Everyone, I hope you are enjoying your weekend so far. Today I have a card the same as one I did a few weeks ago for my friends birthday. This time I have made it in my favourite colour Pink, the other card was blue as my friend is not so keen on Pink as me.This card is a box card as it does not fit into an envelope with all the flowers I have added to the front of the card. I coloured the image with my Pro markers.

And here is a view of the inside of the card, I have used the scraps of paper left over from doing the front of the card to decorate the inside by cutting them out with my Die-namics dies and then stamped a birthday greeting in the middle. The stamp is from a clear set from Stampendous and is called "birthday assortment" I hope you like the card.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, And just to let you know I still have some of my Penny black rubber stamps on ebay my ebay I.D is maricardmaking*2007

Be back soon

Surfer Ian

Here is a card I made for my son's friends birthday. I used another stamp from The Greetings Farm and as the title says he is called Surfer Ian. I coloured the image with my Pro Markers and he has been added to the card with 3D foam pads.The waves have been die cut with a Die-namics die that I recently purchased, I die cut two different shades of blue and just reversed one so the waves go different directions.

Here is a closer View. I hope everyone has a good weekend, the sun is out here in Devon this morning so hopefully it stays all weekend!

Enjoy your day whatever you may be doing, be back soon
