Bottle Hanger

Hi everyone, today I want to show you something else than a card. I made a bottle hanger with one of the gorgeous images by Jasmine Becket-Griffith. I chose Pale Rose for it. I love those hangers as I think they are just great to use for a gift. And they are quite easy and quit to make.

I coloured the image with Distress Inks. The background is handstamped as well.

My second project I want to show you today is the card I made for our last challenge, where we asked for Die Cuts and Punches. I used a fabulous image by Meredith Dillman called Diamond.

I coloured with Distress Inks and Pencils.

I wish you a happy day now! 

Hugs, Karina

Little Curls and Angel Rays

Hi there! This is Rose sharing two cards that I made recently using images available at the Crafts and Me Stamps online store.

I made some time to use this lovely Little Curls rubberstamp image designed by Elisabeth Bell for Sweet Pea Stamps.  You can find her at the Crafts and Me store here.  Anticipation for the "BIG" day is just making this little girl crazy and she can't wait to see what kind of wonderful present is in that box.  She knows she's not allowed to touch it so she stretches her toe, testing how close she can get without actually touching it - LOL!!!  It won't be too much longer now!

You may have seen this card at the current Crafts and Me Digi Team's "Christmas" challenge. I've used Sara Burrier's Angel Rays digi image on this multi-layered, textured card.  You can get your own Angel Rays image here.

Christmas is all around

Hi everyone, Karina here today. I hope you are doing fine and am ready for Christmas. All preparations done? Not many time to go anymore... where has the time gone. It feels like the last weeks passed by like a jet... :o)

Lately I was so much in the mood to create Christmas cards with image which are not christmassy. And this was so much fun. Today I want to share two of them with you.

The first one I made is with one of my most favourite Sweet Pea Stamps image called 'One and only heart' by ching-chou kuik's. I coloured the image with Distress Inks. The papers I used are from Simple Stories. I love how it turned out. I haven't use that much embellies as I usually do. 

Here is a close up of the image.

The second card I show you today is the one I made for our last challenge at Crafts and Me Challenges. We had the theme Winter / Snowflakes. I thought why not create a card in non usual wintery colours? And with a non christmassy image as well. I love the result.

For this card I used the image 'Night Blossom' by Janna Prosvirina. I coloured her with Distress Inks as well and added some Stickles on her wings. The papers are from Rico Design. I already had it for quite some time and finally used it.

Here a close up of the image as well. Where you can see the glittery wings any better. The Snowflakes die is from Whimsy Stamps.

Now I wish you a not to stressy final spurt to Christmas and hope you can enjoy a lightfull advent season.
Have a magical week!
Hugs, Karina

Hi there! This is Rose sharing a few of my recent Copic-filled images.

Hannah Lynn has created this beautiful digital image, exclusive to Crafts and Me, named Kathleen and Summer.  You can find these sweet mermaids here.  I found this image to be much like a hidden picture page as I found more and more items as I colored along . . .

This fabulous Caron Vinson rubberstamped image by Sweet Pea Stamps is named Fall Masquerade Fairy and I've used her with autumn colors.  You can find her here.  She'll look stunning decked out in any color combination . . .

You may have seen this carry all box at the current Crafts and Me Digi Team's "Pearls and Swirls" challenge. I've used Hannah Lynn's Christmas Miracle image on this fun project.  You can find her here.

A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That . . .

Hi there! This is Rose sharing several Copic-filled images that I’ve been having a lot of fun with.  There is no real theme to the cards I've included here.  I've dabbled all over the place.  It's good to change things up a bit sometimes and I feel like I've been stuck on Christmas red since late August - LOL!!!

This photo shows a rubberstamped image that Elisabeth Bell designed for Sweet Pea Stamps.  Teresa carries alot of the Sweet Pea Stamps line and you can find this sweet Little Curls image here.  Isn't this little lady just adorable?

Speaking of adorable, take a look at this Mercreature rubberstamped image by Lisa Victoria!  You can find this fabulous Sweet Pea Stamps image here.  The snow globe that this mercreature is holding is left blank and you can fill it with whatever your heart desires.  How cool is that?!?!

Talk about cool . . . You'll need to step away for some cool air after dancing a night away like this elegant Art Deco Couple.  Teresa carries a fabulous line of eclectic 1920's art deco rubberstamps that are appropriate for many occasions.  You can find this handsome couple, full of lavish plumes, here.

You may have seen this card at the current Crafts and Me Digi Team's "Simples" challenge. I've used Hannah Lynn's Kissy Fish image on this side open card.  You can find her here.  This beautiful image carries itself well without a lot of supporting accents.  Keep her in mind for your loving Valentine wishes too!

* * * * * * * * *

What's that I hear you say?  You want to see Christmas red.  LOL!!!  Well, alright then.  Here's a sneak peek at a soon-to-be-released digi image that Sara Burrier has designed named Poinsettia.  I've used this beautiful fairy to decorate this Christmas cracker box . . .

* * * * * * * * *

You can find more newly released digi images at the Crafts and Me store here.  Very soon you'll see stunning new Hannah Lynn miracles and the Sara Burrier Poinsettia and imagination images.  Keep your eye out for them!  And, if we're very lucky, the rest of the Digi Team might give us a sneak peek at more of them this week.


There's still time to add your entry to the current Digi team's "Simples" challenge here.  Crafts and Me Stamps is offering THREE digi stamps to a randomly selected entry.  What a great way to get your hands on some fabulous new digi images!!!  Visit the Crafts and Me challenge blog again on Wednesday for a new Rockin' Rubbah challenge.


Wishing you a fulfilling day!  We're so glad you stopped by to visit!

Day Dreamer

Hi dear friends and fellow stamp lovers. Karina here today to show you another creations I made lately. 

The first one I show you is made with one of my favourite stamps by Sweet Pea Stamps. She is by the fabulous artist Anna Marine and is called 'Franceska'. I think this name suits her so well. Don't you think so? I coloured her with Copics. And I love how she turned out. Crafts and Me have a huge range of Sweet Pea Stamps in Stock!

Here a close up of the image;

As a second card I want to show you the card I made for the last challenge with the theme 'use orange'. I used this fabulous image called 'Day Dreamer' from the amazing artist Sara Burrier for my card. I coloured her with Distress Inks.

Today we started a new theme at the Crafts and Me challenges. We want to see 'Blue, Green and Pink'. 

After two wonderful sunny and warm days we have grey and wet weather today. And it got really cold... brrr... so the perfect day to stay inside and crafting, what I will do this afternoon on my day off. 

Have a magical day with lots of sunshine in your heart!

Hugs, Karina

Belle of Bon adventure and Remembrance

Hello everyone Trish here it,s my turn to show you some of my lastest creations. I must apologise 1st as i missed my last day a fortnight ago!! Ummm well my excuse my lifes been rather busy what with a new precious grandaughter.I must tell you i,ve been asked to look after her for an afternoon (thats if mummy doesn,t change her mind bless her) as they need to go clothes shopping i think mummy needs a pick me up.I asked if i could have a practice changing her nappy as not done so for well years lol!! It all came back to me quite easily.
And i had my second sons wedding, which was a fantastic day, they,ve just returned from the Maldives lucky them.

So now onto my cards i have 2 to show you the 1st one is one of the new Jasmine rubber stamps called Belle of Bon Adventure available HERE She was a dream to colour.


My second card is my DT card for this weeks Rubbah challenge which is add a Heart/s you still have time to enter HERE but hurry as a new challenge starts tommorow(weds) with the digi team.

Happy Saturday

Hi everyone me (Amy) again :D
I hope your weekend is going well so far. I have been trying to tidy my house a bit today I was just going to do a little bit then got carried away so sorry this post is a bit late going on.
I have some more shrink plastic play for you today. I have made a cute little bookmark using some beads and this beautiful Sweetpea stamp available HERE from Crafts and me. I used Stazon (get yours HERE) to stamp the image onto the plastic and then cut round it with scissors leaving some extra at the top som I could make a hole in it before I shrunk it. I have found it is a lot easier if you make the hole and put the jump ring in before heating the plastic. For this one I have not coloured her in as thought the black white and purple colour combo would suit her quite well. The shrink plastic I used was a frosted one.
I can see that I could get hooked on making these there may be a few people getting them for Christmas lol.There is still time to enter the current challenge at Crafts and Me challenges which is buttons and bows why not take a look at the great prize you could win and join in.

Huge hugs to you all

Amy xx

Remembrance

Hiya Peeps,

It's Friday and I couldn't be more glad. Little Ollie had me up yesterday at 6:30am and it's my daughter's turn to get up with him this weekend, so I am looking forward to a lay in or at least not getting out of bed at 6:30 am. He looks like butter wouldn't melt, but when he's having his mad half hour nicking a sheet of newspaper and running off and diving under the sofa which is only 2 inches off the ground and biting everything in sight, suddenly his cuteness doesn't count for anything, well o.k. I can't be mad with him for long, could you.?????

Today I have used the gorgeous "Remembrance" by Sweet Pea Stamps available from Crafts and Me, I loved her from the minute I saw her. I have coloured her using my prisma's utilising all the warm grey tones. She's definitely a favourite of mine.

I have embossed the gorgeous flourish corners with Two tone Moonglow Embossing Powder. It'g gorgeous in real life and when tilted in the light glows from gold to aqua blue.

Ingredients:-

Remembrance by Sweet Pea Stamps available from Crafts and Me

Papers

Lasercut Chipboard Flourishes

Two tone Moonglow Embossing Powder

Butterflies and Tickets are by Tim Holtz

Doohickey Die

Lace, Seam binding from stash

Yellow Hearts

Hi everyone, Karina here today... you may wondering why I am posting this week as it is the week of the Rubbah team. Well, unfortunately dear Sylvia left the team and I wanted to switch from the Digi to the Rubbah team and cover Sylvia's place from now on. Please keep up visiting Sylvia's Blog as she really does gorgeous work.

Well, today I show you a card I made with a Sweet Pea stamps available here at Crafts and Me. I made this card for the Stamparama show where you can visit Crafts and Me. This image is called 'Red Hearts'. I coloured the hearts yellow instead as I liked it this way. The colouring is made with Distress Inks and the papers are several pieces I had still left from making other cards. I am in the process to use up those stuff as well.  

Just today we started a new challenge over at the Crafts and Me Challenges. The theme is 'Make it Count' where we ask to include a number to your creation. We are looking forward what you are creating.

Well, have a wonderful week and see you soon... thank you so much for your visit here which is always so much apprechiated.

Hugs, Karina

Something old, something new and a few more

Hi everyone :D well I hope this is as nice a weekend as the weather reporters have been promising. I have a bit of a card catch up. There are so many new and gorgeous stamps both in rubbah and in digi that have been appearing in the Crafts and me store and there are more to come.

My first card is using one of the new rubbah stamps from the Jasmin Becket-Griffith range and is called Butterflies in my hair (you can get her HERE) I love her old fashioned regal look. I have coloured her with promarkers that you can now get from the Crafts and me store, then I have added some sakura stardust pens foe a bit of sparkle.

This next card is using a stamp from the Sweet Pea stamper range and also available from the Crafts and me store. She is called Blue Fairy and you can get her as part of a beautiful set of 4 HERE.

Last but by no means least is a card I made for this weeks Crafts and Me challenge which is very simply Birthdays :D How great is that nice and easy so every one can get the chance to win a great prize. For my card I have used Sarah Burriers Twilight and coloured her with promarkers and sakura metallic gold pens.

I hope you all have a great weekend and don't forget to check out all the new stamps :D
Huge hugs
