Up in The Air - Creative Stamping Magazine

There are some great stamps in the latest edition of Creative Stamping Magazine. Called Up in the Air, they feature planes, balloons, rockets and kites!

These are a few ATC's that I have made to swap using some of the stamps.

One Embossing Folder - Three cards

This square  leafy border embossing folder is free with issue 153 of Simply Cards & Papercraft Magazine. For the sunflower card, I inked inside the folder before putting it through my trusty Cuttlebug.

The plain kraft paper sets off the lovely Craftwork Cards orchids and hummingbird toppers and, although it is not very clear on the photo, the lilac background on the other card has a soft sheen to it.

I think I shall be using this embossing folder quite a bit in the future!

Birthday Thanks!

Thanks to all my crafty friends for their lovely birthday cards, ATC's and gifts. These were from Wendy, Mary, Laura, Tina, Evaline and Lyn and came from all around the world!

I've been sitting in the garden, enjoying the sunshine and am looking forward to a meal at a local Chinese restaurant with my family this evening!

Craft Stamper September 2016

This months Craft Stamper magazine includes a free quirky tower stamp. 

I added it to this blue background paper that I have had for years for an ATC - and I'm now waiting for a bit of inspiration to complete the rest of it! 
PS - the pineapple die and stamp set turned up when I was looking for something else!
