Clear Christmas Tags

Sarah

Hi everyone,

Today I have finally cracked open my fuse tool and made something with it…..Hurray! and  I got myself back into my shed again, I have not been up there for ages..

I made some clear Tags, shaker stylie~ish 🙂

I challenged Clare (Gotpaintinmyhair) to make 3 Christmas tags earlier today, and to record a video for Youtube and do a blogpost, and she challenged me to break out the fuse tool and make something with it.. so I made tags too

I used the Sizzix Scalloped Tag #2 Die for the tags and then used the We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool to seal them together..

I also used the Clearly Besotted Stamps Merry window die and just chopped out the merry sentiment once it was diecut out of silver mirror cardstock.

I love how they turned out, I also have a youtube video available so you can see how they were made.

Hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday, see you soon (I hope) 🙂

Clean & Simple… Merry & Bright

Sarah

Hi everyone,

Happy Sunday to you all!

The weather here today is absolutely miserable, it is a right old Winnie the Pooh day… blustery & wet

I have another Christmas card to share today, it is clean and simple and easy to mass produce, it’s mainly die cutting and assembling.

merry & bright

I used the following materials and tools to complete this card :-

  • Thick White cardstock card size is 5″x 5″
  • cuttlebug
  • Dienamics Star Stax Dies
  • Lil inker Designs Stitched Square Frames Die Set
  • Glitter Cardstock
  • and the Merry & Bright sentiment stamp from the Clearly Besotted Set the Scene stamp set
  • Versafine Onyx Black Ink
  • Double sided Dimensional adhesive tape plus a little bit of matte medium to help the tape stick to the glittered cardstock.

The pretty sequins are Pretty Little Things from Lucy’s Cards and the mix is called Lily White, and I also used up a leftover leaf from the card i made in my last blog post.

I will be back up in my shed later today to make some more 🙂

Until the next time,thanks for popping round

Lymphoma

Sarah

Hello everyone,

I have been absent again, and I must apologise…

chunks

For those of you who join me on my Ustream live shows or catch a Youtube video, will all be familiar with Chunky, my big springer spaniel boy, who likes to bark… he barks every time i’m in my shed and I think he has barked in just about everything I have recorded.

Well my big boy was diagnosed with Lymphoma and he is currently going through chemotherapy treatment, it sucks, and I am trying to remain positive and upbeat in the hope that he will be as tough as old boots and fight it like a trooper.  I will provide updates on his progress, as I know a lot of you are fond of wee puppy chunks 🙂

It is my plan to go up to my shed this weekend and record some video tutorials for clean and simple christmas cards, so keep an eye out for them this weekend…

Thanks for popping in

Sarah
