Creative Stamping 60 - Autumnal Treasures

Hi Everybody,

It's time for the Creative Stamping Magazine and this months issue 60 has some lovely stamps in it for you to create cards with an Autumn feel

It is a full A4 size and the featured designer this month is Hot Off The Press

I had some fun playing with it and I am sure that you will too.

It will be in the shops tomorrow the 2nd August so keep a look out if it one that you would like to have

The video will give you some ideas and there are lots more inside the pages for you to browse through as you have a cuppa and a biscuit or three !

 So I hope you enjoy the video, the magazine, the stamps and your brew.

More tomorrow ...

Card Making Magic Christmas Collection.

Hi Everybody,

Today I have been playing with the Layered Christmas Poinsettia that is part of my new collection which is available at

Craft Stash

I have shown you a variety of ways in which these sets can be used either separately or together and there are lots of ways to vary the flowers.

They can be used all year round if you use pastel colours for the summer. And I have used felt for some of them too.

I added some of the pearl stamens to mine and they looked so pretty.

I have added the links at the bottom to the products I have used but the card is 300 gsm and from Papermill Direct and it is such good quality

Shaving Foam Background

Hi Everybody,

I have been messing about with some really cheap shaving foam again and the backgrounds I have made will turn into some really pretty cards.

This Birthday card has the addition of Gilding Flakes to it and I really like the look of this.

The Gilding Flakes come in several different colours from Craft Stash

I then split the panel in two and added it to an embossed panel with foam tape.

The New Home one has been shaped at the top with a die that was free with a magazine and again added to an embossed panel 

I am really pleased with both and will show you the others as I make them.

I used Alcohol re-inkers for mine but  you would get a result just as good using any other re-inker that you have and there is a vast range of colours at 

Craft Stash

But would you like me to video the making of some more and how to add the gilding flakes or glitter to them??

More tomorrow ...
