Magic Picture Changer - First Attempt

When I bought this stamp set about two years ago this was the idea I had to use it, of course these dies didn't exist then and I tried to use the magic slider die but it didn't work, so when the dies were released I knew what card I needed to make first.

I am sure that next time I will line up the image a little better, I stamped him a little low and lost most of his legs lol. I do think this might be something I use again if not often as it was more fun than I care to admit lol.

Driving Test Card

This is one type of card that is lovely to make and personalise. I am sure that now she has passed her driving test there will be no stopping her and I am sure we will see less of her too.

Still I am pleased for her as this is something she has talked endlessly about for some time and I now will be a source of great pride and pleasure for her, so well done Ellie

Seaside Seagulls

About two years ago on a Florida trip I had a bit of a spending spree and bought so much stuff that now two years later I am just getting around to using it all. This has only happened because I have decided to shop my stash rather than buying more. I am about to change from my little craft room to a larger one as I have outgrown it and I thought I wonder how many stamps I have never used and this one caught my eye.

I would like to say that I will continue on this no buying regime but as this posts I will be returning from another trip to florida and I can't imagine I haven’t  bought anything lol.

Ingredients
Image and Sentiment: "seaside seagulls" from MFT
Dies:Blueprints 1 from MFT, scalloped dies from Clearly Besotted and semi circle from a friend
Distress Inks: salty ocean, blueprint sketch, squeezed lemonade and fossilised amber
Stencil: "radiating rays" from MFT

Beaks - YR07, Y35
Wings - C4, 2, blender

Cupcake Hamster

This wasn't the card I was making for my friend, I had already bought a different image and was going a completely different way when she said casually " I love your cards with hamsters" so I thought a hamster card it is then.

I went very simple and clean as I wanted the image to really stand out and I coloured it to look like their hamster "Roo" or "roudini" as we like to call him lol. He is like a mini escape artist but as he is so tame he comes back easily too.

Ingredients
Image and Sentiment: "cupcake hamster" from Mo's Digital Pencil

Clearly Besotted We Go Together

This card required surgery to accomplish, the stamp set from Clearly Besotted has a dog and cat image for the gin and tonic but as the lovely couple have two dogs that seemed more fitting. So I used the other dog face from the cheese image also in the set.

I lost count of the number of times I tried to make this card, I cut a mask for the cat face and forgot to remove it - attempt 1, I tried to stamp a second time and it moved - attempt 2, I wiped away the excess ink from the cat face and forgot to dry the stamp - attempt 3....you get the picture lol.

Ingredients
Image: "we go together" Clearly Besotted
Sentiment: as above and also "big birthday sentiments" from MFT (retired)
Stencil: "radiating rays" from MFT with hickory smoke, squeezed lemonade and fossilised amber distress inks
