New DO Sample Cards

Hi there

Thought I'd share with you a couple of the samples I've made using the new May/June DO Crafts products to take to demo's with me.

This is Wellington - a proper Teddy Bear not a cute one - I love him! I used a tall stepper card, a die cut topper and tag and a couple of die cut stars to embellish.

Here he is again, this time decoupaged on top of a decorated Bare Basics box.

This is one of the new Michael Powell stamps watercoloured using crayons and popped onto a shaped easel card - nice soft colours.

Well that's all for now.

Sunny Layout!

Hi Folks
Not sure where the time goes to anymore. I don't seem to be able to find the time to fit everything in and my blog is suffering for it. I'll try to post as often as I can, but please forgive me if it's a little sporadic!
Anyhow, this post is to show you what I made for the WOW Embossing Powders DT Challenge this month. The theme was 'Male' using the Earthtone pallet of colours. I took this picture on the Isle of Wight at Easter and I needed to scrap it! Not often I get a good photo my 'boys' together (and smiling!).

Instructions and items used are all on the WOW Blog so pop over and get inspired by all the other lovely DT makes!

More Flakes!

Hi Bloggers

Well here I am again, back from Newcastle (what a long day) and all ready to play. I had a great time showing the Indigo Blu stamps, Flitter Glu and Mega Flakes. I now have a favourite - Yorkshire Dales; green tones - quite subtle. Hopefully I'll be demoing these again at some more shows. I've quite a lot on at the moment, my DT project for WOW Powders needs creating, some more samples for the shop's gallery need to be made and a load of new stock needs adding to the Stampeezee site, (I'd moan if I wasn't busy!).

Without further ado here is the card I made with the Ella Bella image I stamped and guilded last week:

 I used Distress Inks for the backgrounds (stenciled through some sequin waste for the dots).

What a shine!

 A pretty, girly card - not the grungy style I usually end up with.

Well, must be off.

Flitter Glu & Mega Flakes

Hi Folks

Just wanted to say what a great time I had demo-ing for WOW Powders at the NEC last weekend. The stand looked great and the team really got on well. Marion Emberson was an absolute delight; so talented! She was my lunch buddy so we spent quite a bit of time together. She has been so supportive and given me some great advice - a new friendship I'll treasure!
Tania was brill as always, and with all the help we got from some of the DT members (Sue, Neil, Christine, Nikki and Sarah) the demo table was never short of new ideas being tried out. Can't wait for the next one (I hope they ask me!).

Anyhow, this Saturday I'm going up to Newcastle upon Tyne to demo for Samuel Taylors at the Pins & Needles show - a long way I know, but a friend in need and all that! I'll be demo-ing the Flitter Glu and Mega Flakes from Indigo Blu. As I've just had them into the shop I've been playing with them and they are lovely. Here is a card I made for the Stampeezee Gallery - I'm sure there will be many more to follow:

These were using the Love Is stamp by Indigo Blu and the Winter Dawn Flakes.

I also stamped and guilded 'Ella Bella' but haven't used her on a card yet - isn't she lovely?

I am thinking that although Saturday will be a long day I am going to have FUN!!!

Well that's all for now.

Mothers Day Cards

Hi Bloggers

Just a quicky to show you a couple of cards I made for the Mum's for Mother's Day. I used the new Cameo set of stamps for both cards along with the Damask and Music background from WOW and of course WOW EP.

Classy mono-chrome

Subtle pink and grey

I'll be at the NEC Thursday to Sunday on the WOW Embossing Powders stand at the Hobby Crafts show. If any of you are passing please stop by and say hi - it's always good to see friendly faces.

That's all for now

Thanks for stopping by
