Craft Weekend

Myself, Andrea, Linda and Hels went to a craft weekend last weekend. We had the best time! We stayed in a hotel (you never know who might check in lol!) We made about 16 cards over the course of the two days. Here are some of them.

A canvas for Dan

Here is a canvas I made for Dan's birthday in September! Yes I know I am only just blogging it. I have lots to put on my blog so I will try to do a bit each week. Anyway I hope you like the canvas.

Little book for a friend

This was made in the same way as the previous little book, using different images. What would we do without Tim Holtz!

The little book of Wings

I loved making this book. I have used moon glows for the back grounds, then stamped in Stazon. I have over stamped on domino and stampboard, and added some embleshments.

I hope the person I send it to will like it xx ;-)

My ideas Book

Here is a book a made to keep my crafty ideas in. I loved decorating it and find it very inspirational......................................... all I need now is some ideas!!

Sunday Stamper - Hearts and Eyes (with a secret)

Here are the two pieces I made for Sunday Stamper. Both are canvas, for the hearts I stamped on fantasy fibres and inked the canvas. For the Eye I stamped the images, inked the back grounds and put the secret part on the back of the easel. It is a piece of stampboard with some Eyes stamped on.

Canvas Crazy- Wings

This is the latest one in my Canvas creations! I have used TH inks and crackle paint for the black ground and randomly stamped the TH Tree stamp on the background just to give some depth. I have used the same ink on the 2" by 2" stampboard and stamped different images in black Stazon. They have then been triple embossed and attached to the canvas.

In My Pocket

One of my good friends Hels is doing a weekly challenge called "In My Pocket" You have a little pocket which you decorate and then Hels lets you know what should go inside. The first week was buttons and the second week was coins. Here are my 2 pockets.

Sunday stamper - Friend

Yet another canvas!! Used inks and ink pads and stamped in stazon. Used some Grunge board mini letters. The image is quite dark but I actually like this effect.

Sunday Stamper - France/Paris

Two weeks ago the theme for Sunday stamper was France/Paris. I have made another small canvas for this challenge. I have used paints on the canvas and for the backgrounds on the stampboard. I have then used stazon for the images. The corner image was stamped on the canvas and I then stamped the ladies faces on to tiny domino and placed them over the top. I have triple embossed the main image and used diamond glaze on the domino.

Sunday Stamper - Black and White

This weeks Sunday stamper was black and white. I came across some mini canvas easels on my travels and thought I'd use one for this weeks challenge. I am altering a book at the moment and I had some parts of some pages left over so I have used them to cover the canvas. I then blacked the edges using Stazon Ink Pad. I painted the easel in black paint.

I used a piece of ATC size stampboard and made a very light background using silver ink. I then over stamped using black Stazon and a beautiful Paris stamp (hey this could double up as the Sunday stamper France/Paris challenge I haven't completed yet! :-) ) I then triple embossed the image and attached it to the canvas.

I added some black felted ribbon down the side of the canvas next to the image and added one of my favourite embellishments. I then finished off with some gems.

I am very please with the result, hope you like it too. Tina xx

Birthday Card for Hels

Here is the birthday card I made for Hels. Again using my stampscapes stamps! They work beautifully on gloss card. I mounted the picture on to some paper and then on to the card. I stamped a corner stamp in versamark ink and embossed with silver embossing powder. I then stamped a "Friends" quote using the same inks as the main image and mounted this to the card.

Canvas Crazy - Another Stampscape!

I am still going strong with my stampscapes stamps! I just love using them. I have made a canvas for a friends birthday, I covered the canvas with Gesso first to give it a good base and left to dry. I then use an ink pad with 5 inks in it to give the tones. I then finished by stamping some words around the edge of the canvas.
