Wanna win some Crafts & Me digis?

Of course ya do!!  Well we have a new group started over on Facebook where you can chat, show us what you've made, make some new friends and win stuff!

You can find our new chat group HERE, all welcome!  There's a thread there to win 3 digis from Crafts & Me but be quick as the winner will be chosen on Sunday!

Whilst I'm here I'll show you one I made for the last challenge called Porcini, she's a beautiful stamp that looks great in full or just using part of it.  BTW did you know that if you want any ideas on a particular stamp from our range you can scroll down the labels list in the menu on the right, click the stamp name and all our samples using them will be displayed :)


I've coloured Porcini with promarkers using feather blending of pink and yellow on the dress and wings then I've used a clear glue on the wings and added crystal glitter.  I traced around the image in a pale green then a yellow though the yellow isnt showing too well.

We also have some great new digi releases in the shop including..






Hope you love the new stamps as much as we do x

The Giving Angel and Miss Mirabelle

Hi, Jane here to show you my two latest creations using Crafts & Me digital images. The first card I'd like to share with you is one using the stunning new image Miss Mirabelle - I think she is so beautiful and fabulous to colour! I have teamed her with some equally gorgeous papers by Graphic 45, called Steampunk Debutante - a perfect match for our Miss Mirabelle!
My second card is my challenge card for the current challenge of buttons and bows, using the gorgeous The Giving Angel. There is still a little time left to enter the challenge if you haven't already! Thanks for looking and have a great Tuesday! x

Digi Stamps Bottom of the Garden, Steam Punk House and Miss Mirabelle

Hi there! This is Rose sharing with you three cards that I've put together using fabulous Crafts and Me images.  I've filled these images using Copic colors.

This photo shows a recently released image, exclusive to Crafts and Me, named Bottom of the Garden.  I've used autumn colors for the flowers but they could as easily be filled using Spring shades.




I enjoyed filling this recently released Steam Punk House using colors that I thought would reflect the metal patchwork of this image.




You may have viewed this recently released Hannah Lynn image, called Miss Mirabelle, on my steampunk'd birthday card at the Crafts and Me Dynamite Digi team's Buttons and Bows challenge.  Her piped metal wings and the futuristic goggles holding her hair back are fun examples of Steampunk accessories.




You can find these and more newly released digi images at the Crafts and Me store here.


There's still time to add your entry to the current Digi team's Buttons and Bows challenge here.  Visit the Crafts and Me challenge blog again on Wednesday for a new Rockin' Rubbah challenge.


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

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

Day Dreaming


Today I have a card to share with you using one of the new Hannah Lynn Digi's at Crafts and Me.  I know I am on the Rubber DT, but I just had to create with this beautiful image. I had another one started but just ran out of time to get her finished.  I also had a card that I made awhile back to share with you.  But guess what? I can't remember where I put it. I will find it when I'm not looking for it.
This this card I used "Analinda" and you can find her HERE.  I also used some Basic Grey DP, flowers and embellishments.
I printed her on Kraft CS and colored her with Prismacolor Pencils.



Here is my card from last weeks challenge using one of the soon to be released Rubber stamps by Sara Burrier.

Go HERE to see more of the New Digis at Crafts and Me and while your there look around and see what else you can find. Oh and remember to join in for this weeks new challenge hosted by the Digi DT.
Thanks for stopping by.
