The Stamp Spot :: Ribbon, ribbon, ribbon

This is the card I made for my post over at The Stamp Spot this week!

I struggled quite a bit with this card and eventually was kinda happy with it... just not as much as I'd hoped! anyway... I used up my ribbon and in a couple of different ways! I love that thin gingham ribbon... think I'll have to get myself some more when the store is open again! :D

Anyway thanks for stopping by! will try and have something posted up again tomorrow ...

AND I just wanted to thank everyone who has left me the sweetest comments recently! :D
You are all darlings!

Rainy Day Hanna

Thursday is here again which means it is my STAMP SPOT day!!

So here I am to show you the card I have just posted up on the Stamp Spot blog.

Here's the explanation of what I have used for this card...
When I saw this Gorgeous Basic Grey - Indian Summer sheet (cut to 6") in my DT pack I could not bear to cut it up....I thought it made a perfect little backdrop for someone to walk through - so I trimmed it and used the whole piece .... I also cut to size the red Felt ribbon to put down the side. I used a rainy day Hanna image (coloured with copics and 'rainproofed' with glossy accents) and then finished off the card with some rhinestones and a rub-on swirl.

WHOO - Marcia has just received some brand new THE GREETING FARM stamps instore - check them out here. Remember also to check out her marvellous paper sale + new embellishments + lots of other great new stamps!!!



Seems I'm posting a weather report with my cards this week... today is rather overcast - looks a bit miserable outside! Will see just how so later when I go into the city to see my optician...really is time for a new prescription! lol

Hanna does some gardening

Hi there! long time..no blog! I have not been very well these last few days and in a bit of a black hole too....but am feeling a bit better today so here I am!
Well on Thursday I managed to post my weekly entry on the Stamp Spot but did not get it on here as well...so in case you did not see it there Here it is!

I used Garden Hanna from Hanna stamps!

The thing I love about the Hanna sheets from Hanna Stamps is the little accessories that come along with it*! I have used three of these at the bottom of the card!
The paper I used is October Afternoon - Cherry Hill --> It's a lovely double sided sheet that co-ordinates perfectly!I had to add some rhinestone bling too!
ALL AVAILABLE at the Stamp Spot store

*The smaller stamps work well to decorate the inside of a card or the corner of an envelope (as below)!


Pop on by the Stamp Spot and see what wonderful creations the other DT ladies have been making! There are some REAL stunners there!!

Thanks for looking and I do hope to pop by all your blogs in the next days!! xxx

Happy Birthday

It is my friend Amelia's birthday today!!! This is what I made for her..



I used my new and FIRST ever Hanna Stamps! I coloured in with the Copics.. I was having a few troubles with colours bleeding... I worked out that I have to use the waterbased ink..tick and the cardstock seems to make a HUGE difference! (They are fun though)!




I made covers for the chocolate we bought!! :)




As you can see I had to use the cuttlebug also!! I am in love with it!! :)

thanks for looking and sorry I have not been around all your blogs.... this week!! :)
Life has been pretty hectic! :)

I received an Intuos Graphics tablet for my birthday ... yippee.... So I am hoping to do a lot of drawing/ designs in the near future!
