My first project for WoW Embossing Powders is on their blog now....

This is my first project for WOW Embossing Powders. http://www.wowembossingpowder.blogspot.com/

I'm on their Design/Demonstrator Team and my first project is live on their blog for all to see. It's a heart hanger, made with a magnetic background so that you could use it as a fridge magnet if you wanted.
Embossed Heart with metal arrow and
 embossed Key
It's embossed with WoW powders and cut out using a Heart Die with the Big Shot. 

The close up shows the Embossing and Iv'e added a metal key and lock embossed with gold pearl powder plus a wire arrow made with jewellery findings.

I'm so excited.....My new Stamps have arrived.....


..

At last, my new stamps have arrived. There are 4 Sets - 
Seaside Landscape Features, Trees and Fences, Flowers and Ferns and Boy on a Rock Landscape Scene Set. You can Build a Landscape with them or use them on their own. The designs are all mix and match with the first set that I produced too.   I can't wait to get crafting with them.   Here's a sneaky peek at just one of the many new stamps from Seaside Landcape Features in the new range. 

Watch this space for new designs and projects made with both sets - The stamps will be on my website next week but in the meantime, I will make up some projects for you all to see next week ..... Off to play now............

My Creativity Magazine Cards -Jan/Feb issue


I created these cards for the Jan/Feb issue of the DoCrafts Creativity Magazine.


The cards were all made using the Jan/Feb Goody Bag. Check out the magazine for the full Step by Step instructions and product  details. 

The Goody Bag includes Capsule Collection papers, dimension outline stickers, ribbons, flowers, decoupage (die cut and decoupage that you cut out yourself)  and more....
The Papermania Capsule Collections allow you to mix and match as all the colours go together. There are ribbons, bows, buttons, sparkly flowers, papers and more in each Capsule Collection Set and the colours all go together so there's no hunting around your craft stash trying to find matching papers anymore.  I particularly like the new Burleigh Blue range in stores now. 



FREE DIGI-STAMP for January

Here is your free Digi-Stamp for January - such a cute little dog...

Come on - I'm still waiting...
My new stamps should be here next week - they are all made and ready to go. I'll be making lots of cards and putting them on my blog for all to see. This month's free Digi-Stamp can be used alongside my new stamps so I'll be playing with my craft stash big time. Watch this space.

Please become a "Follower" on my blog and you can receive a Free Digi-Stamp every month or so. You will need to right click on him then copy and paste into your graphics programme. He will need to be cut out so that you can use him on cards etc.,
Hope you like him. More to come in future.

It's all Kicking off at WOW Embossing Powders

I'm so thrilled to be part of the new WOW team. Keep a look out for the new WOW Blog coming soon at http://www.wowembossingpowder.blogspot.com/  for news of all the new Designers and Demonstrators plus lots of inspiring projects for you. Exciting things coming your way with new products, powders, stamps and more.....

I can't wait to get crafting and creating. As I like to experiment with all sorts of crafts and materials, using these powders will give me a new boost to my crafting. I'm feeling a bit bored with the "same old" cute and cuddly projects (which is why I designed my own range of stamps) so need a boost for the new year and these powders certainly inspire ideas. I can't wait to use them with my new stamp range. I'll be posting projects onto my blog in the weeks to come so keep visiting...
