Tracey hey - Friendship

Tracey hey - Friendship

 If you look up cute in the dictionary you are likely to find Alpaca pals by Tracey Hey. I absolutely adore her stamps.

This card uses the "be fierce" set and sentiment from "hey cutie" 

I coloured the image with my copics and then took ages deciding on how to put it together but quite pleased with the outcome!

The honey combs were from a competition prize I won ages ago but hadn't used (think I will now!!) Then added the sentiment and some gems. The flowers were from wild orchid crafts

Used:

Stamp and sentiment - alpaca pals

Flowers: wild orchid

Colours: copic

Honey comb: from stash

Papers: from stash

Gems: hobbycraft

Birthday Card - Circles 

I had a card request for a 65th birthday card for someone who loves to see the birds come to his garden. I made one card but my husband said it was quite child like so I had to make another and this was the result:

I used stamps from Simply Cards and paper craft and coloured them with Copics. I used some paper from my stash that i think was Hobby craft. Then I used a circle die (which I sorted out on the weekend yay!) to cute the stamped images out and printed a sentiment through my IPad. I want to do more of this so if anyone knows of any apps I can use on the IPad and be able to print please let me know.

Summer Challenge part 2

Summer Challenge part 2

I hope you've seen my previous post about my summer challenge to use up some of my stash and use some things I hadn't used before!

Well part two was from Papercraft essentials magazine and was a cut and emboss folder with stamps and papers.

I only managed to make three cards with this but theres loads of paper left for future projects. I'm not the biggest fan of embossing sothats why I didnt do a lot of them.

I made three....two from examples in magazine and one made up as I went along! I never seem to get a nice card when I'm following a magazine example I don't know why!

So these are the final three....wonder what is next! 

Tracey Hey - little more love

Tracey Hey - little more love

I am a massive fan of Tracey Hey - alpaca pals stamps and she recently brought out a new range......I had to phone the bank manager to apologise in advance!!

When I saw this sentiment I knew I had to have it! Luckily my lovely dad said he would buy me some crafty things as a well done for my show entries so I got two sets of stamps which I love!

I also bought this week my first Tim holtz distress ink spray. One little spray is all it took for this background....definitely going on the wish list for more haha!!

I wanted to keep the card simple because of that sentiment! So here is the result:

Items used:

Background: distress ink spray peacock feathers 
Stamp: Tracey Hey - Alpaca Pals - be fierce
