Monster celebration

By    February 13, 2022 // 5 comments

 Hi crafting friends

Welcome back for another make from the desk of the glittery pink craft room, today its a nice clean and simple one using a Tracey Hey stamp set called 'out of this world'



I stamped the cute alien (there's also the sweetest robot in this set) and coloured him using copic markers, then I fussy cut him out and edged around the cut image with black marker pen.

On the card front I used twisted citron distress oxide ink through a i-craft brick stencil.  I stamped the black squiggles and hearts.  These are also part of the stamp set, all finished with a sentiment from the same set.

I hope you like him - he's so adorable! 

I'd like to enter this into:

However you have made it here - I would really appreciate you clicking on the links at the top right of this page and following me on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest, and also click on the follow button for this blog.

Please leave me some love - I read everything, and it makes my day to get happy mail (rather than groupon vouchers, or notifications or tax refunds when the tax man doesn't even have my email ha ha)!

See you soon

Scrap O'clock album

By    January 22, 2022 // 8 comments

 Hello crafting friends

I'm not sharing a card today, but an album I made using a template from i-craft called scrap o'clock.

This can be purchased here  I was lucky enough to be sent it by Oakwood direct to decorate up ready for showcasing on the Craft store on Sunday 23rd January. 

It came as chip board covers and thick paper pages, and can be decorated in a variety of ways.


The clock face and backing card are separate when delivered, so I used a shabby black background paper to layer under the clock face itself.

To decorate the clock face I used some green texture paint from craft treat (its like moss and has a gritty texture)  I painted this all over before using some white gesso and a dried brush to knock back some of the green.  To add a further aged look I used craft treat grey cement texture paint through an i-craft crackle stencil to add more interest.

I then painted the inner ring and hands black, then used silver gilding wax all over.

I added a combination of natural fibres, cheesecloth and dried flowers as a base before adding paper flowers from my stash at the side.  I added glue and glass glitter onto the flowers, as well as some stickles for shine

The bees were cut out from the same pad the backing paper came from.

It was then put together and I used ribbon and lace to tie around the jump rings.

This is a very different project for me, but I hope you like it! - I got very inky and messy and my craft room looked like my paint had exploded!

I'd like to enter this into:

See you soon

Crafting hugs!
