Stamp and Spin Time

Hi everyone, 

Thanks so much for popping in today. 

I do hope your Friday is going well, it is a beautiful morning here in Cheshire. 

I really need to get out in my garden, 

My Dahlias are finally opening…and wow, 

I just love them. 

I am really enjoying using the Stamp  & Spin tool from Sizzix…

I have had so many requests for a tutorial…

So here we go…

A quick card 

And yes it was quick…

Here is a close up 

I used an A4 sheet of card and started with the wild summer flower stamp…the smaller one, 

Next I looked at my sets of smaller stamps 

The flower collection 

The woodland ferns 

The Foliage set 

And The Vine set 

I love using all my different colours of Versafine Clair ink 

Some Gentle Elements ink in the background 

A few more stamps…2 at a time now 

Next some finishing touches…some gel pen 

And finally some Liquid pearls..

I do think Santa will find this on his list for many crafters this year 

remember you need the Stencil & Stamp tool to fit the 2 together 

So many possibilities though 

Well worth every penny 

I hope you have a nice weekend planned 

I have our 

Vintage Christmas online class tomorrow 

Plus a Charity event 

Crafting for Sky.

Always so good to give something back 

Take care all 

Much love and hugs

Bewitched

Hi everyone, 

Welcome to October 

and a cold, wet start to the month it is..

This is the puddle in our village car park 

We have a new Lavinia Challenge 

Our new theme is 

Bewitched 

Remember the winner is chosen at random and wins 

a £40 voucher to spend at Lavinia 

I thought I would create something a bit different today 

So we are going 

Halloween Candle 

I started off using some tissue paper 

Stamped the design 

I love to add colour too. Inks, gel pens etc 

Next tear around the edges 

This gives a better finish 

Then using brown paper wrapped tightly and a heat tool , 

I melted the tissue paper into the candle wax 

I added some sticklers glitter glue for extra sparkle 

I also like to burn the candle slightly for extra dripping wax….

Finally some embellishments and lights.

Look 

I would always recommend these as decorative candles…

Or burn them a little (supervised ) and then add a battery candle in to the hollow. 

I hope this month is a good one for us all 

Take care 

and big hugs
