Molly Blooms - Sunflower

This card was created for a swap with the theme "My Favourite Flower" - in my case this is sunflowers. I use this Molly Bloom stamp quite a lot - got to know of Molly through a freebie stamp with a magazine.

Left Overs and Tag Challenge


After making several of the cage and butterfly cards, see following post, I have a few bits and pieces of leftovers film/fibres/card. So I thought I would use them in this week's challenge for Try It On Tuesday - a tag with a bird theme.

I have the large and small swirl stamps from Clarity Stamp. The large I used on the card and the small I have used on the tag.

The Spellbinders die set has two cage dies, so I used the large on the card and the small I have used on the tag.

Now went I got to the end of my butterfly making and cutting out, I put all the scraps and leftovers into one sandwich. Then I cut out the two birds (from the same die set as the cages from this "reheated" sandwich and coloured them (ie use dies as a stencil).

Fantasy Butterflies


Today I have been playing with my latest spellbinders die and fantasy film/fibres. The stamps used in this card all come from Clarity Stamp.

The Stamp Man - July ATC Challenge Swap




The theme for this month is Vintage and I immediately thought of Lady, Car and Wine.

The Vintage Lady ATC, is more of a Haberdashery ATC. Lady stamp is from Personal Impressions and the button stamp is from House of Zandra.

The Vintage Car ATC, is more of a Vintage Car Rally with the fob watch. The Car stamp is from Personal Impressions, the Crackle stamp and Fob Watch stamp is from Dimension Fourth.

The Vintage Wine ATC (should really be Vintage Champagne)has a very faint Tuscan landscape backgroud, you can just see it in the photo. These landscape stamps are from Hobby Art and the Wine bottle and glass stamp are from Little Claire's.

I am not sure what this says about me with all the different makes of stamps I have used.

Dimension Fourth - June Project Card + ATCs


Well the project card this month is the first time I have had to use Craft Candy. As I am not a silicone glue using I used some extra large glue dots scrunched up, to attach them.



Had to use an earlier project club stamp set to create the view out the window and the heart background.

The Stampman - June ATC Challenge Swap


This is the first time I have been able to join in this challenge - the theme for this month's swap is - TREES.

The stamps are all from Clarity except for the hillside which is from BJ Crafts.

Distress Jigsaw Pieces

I acquired some lovely blank jigsaw puzzles from The Works (larger and cheaper than Create and Craft) and used some of the pieces in these two cards as a mat.


This card was created a few months ago for a Craft Stamper Challenge - Altered Games pieces. The flower was created by stamping and distressing old bingo cards. I used Tim Holtz Bingo Embossing folder on the brown mat.


This card was created for a challenge swap - theme buttons and jigsaw pieces.

Although the cards were created several months apart, you can see the similarities.
