I made this clock

With my friend we gave present to the kids not grown ups. I decided to make a clock for here doughter. This is my third clock but I never took picture of the first two. They were wedding presents last year and they turned out fab ( I think).

Ingredients:

Crafters Companion Flower Fairies CD

Crafters Companion Rose Fairy stamp

Rose stamp & rose head stamp

Tim Holtz distressed inks:Dusty Concord

Fired Brick

Tattered Rose

Warm Lipstick

Spiced Marmalade

Dried Marigold

Card board for base

Few gem from stash

Clock mechanism

Silver embossing powder

Red embossing powder

Bit of glitter for the wing and Rose

This is my Fairy from close up. I forgot to take a note what colours I used. I know I used Fore Rose Fairy Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmalade, Warm Lipstick,

Tattered Rose.

I have embossed four roses and cut it out. The background was printed off then I used the rose head to stamp it all over and embossed it. Once it was embossed I coloured the paper with Frayed Burlap then I scrambled it up and used Fired bricks over it and I ironed it with paper towel over it. Fixed it to my card board put my roses on it then my Rose Fairy. For little finishing touches I used little gem for every 5 min and put red embossing powder onto the edge.
The back is very simple only matching printed paper from the CD.

Here we go...

...we saying our goodbyes to 2009. I can not believe this year flew away soooooo fast.
Lets high light few things:

1. I started my blog this year so in January when I'll gonna be yr old might do blog candy.
2. Started stamping this year
3. My style has changed a lot
4. And lets not forget my daughter Emese (Mesi) done her 1st step at 10month & 2 weeks and can say Nooooo in Hungarian (neeeem) so sweet. Few moth down and now she runs.

The Stamp Man Award

The rule is: pick something you have made that you are particularly proud of and feel was your best work of 2009 and leave a comment on The Stamp Man blog so everyone can see your work.

It was hard to choose cos I was quite proud of my ribbon holder too (till I made it I never knew I got soooooo many ribbons lol) but wasn't sure if it's counts as craft item. So I decided I pick one of my favorite stamp, High Hopes the farmer. The full instruction how it was made you'll find it here. I used this stamp for Christmas cards too. Just cut away the fork and wheat replace it with Xmas things and there you go got a Xmas card without a Xmas stamp.

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas.

Happy Crafting

Hugs

Cards I made to my dearest and nearest

Few nights ago I managed to do my OH's Xmas card and the kids Xmas card. I did find it difficult to make my cards to my dearest and nearest this year. I made so many that I just had enough of it by now, so probably next year will do theirs first. I had no energy to do big cards but have to say Alfie loved his snow man. Adrian's (OH) and Alfie's card I used embossed image.

Ingredient's for the 1st card

Inkado stamp

Shiny material

Crochet flower

Left over backing paper

Charm and mini bell

Spillbinder die

Red Distress ink

Bred

I love this stamp. So much details on one stamp. If you look close got a bird on the angel's dress. I fell in love with this and the other stamp(snow men) too.
My mum crochet this flower for me and many more and just had to use it. To make it a bit unusual I hanged Merry Christmas confetti on it and used a nice bred with it.

I wanted to create a bit of texture so I used some of this material and I twisted it to give a bit of umph to the look. I used my spillbinder to cut out the embossed angel and edged it with my red distress ink pad.

This is just the side view to show you all the dimension on the card.

Inside I used the left over from the die cut and left over papers and material. On the top of the material I used the dear confetti.

Ingredients for 2ND card

Inkado stamp

Leftover material

Left over backing paper

Mini bells

Confetti

This is the close up of the image. All that detail just fab fab.

I made this card to Alfie and he loved it. Made my day.

Inside is simple. I decorated it with the confetti dears.

Mesi's card is very simple. Next year can't get away with it though lol I had left over papers and the toppers just free bees

Inside I used the left over ribbon, my rabbit chewed my paper so had to hide it :-) somehow so it's hiding behind the rain dear.

Wow

I just found out I won this digi stamp when I done the Tuesday Taggers blog hop. Wach the space cos I'm gonna use it :-) He is soooooooooo cute

TT vs Coloure Creat Challenge

This week at Tuesday Taggers the theme is: Christmas Carols and at Colour Create the colours are LILAC or PURPLE with AQUA, BLACK and WHITE.

Ingredients

Crafters Companion Cute Christmas Collection

Crafters Companion Cute Companion stamp

Glamour dust

Some fancy papers for the dress

I have printed off a decoupage sheet and cut it out. I stamped 3 mice than coloured the face, feet and tail. I stamped on each paper and cut the dress out then glued it on my mice. Now the paper stamp was too big so had to draw them by hand and cut it out and fit it into their hands. I made this to a friend of mine on the Crafters Companion Forum so I put her name above the shop. I used glamour dust to make it sparkle&christmasy. For inside I just printed off an insert with a verse.

Few Xmas cards I made

I made few cards. The step leader and easel card is made after a template. The template is from Penny whom I know through Crafty Card Scrappers, she is sooooooooo talented got so many things in her photobucket. My step leader is an A6 and my easel cards are 4"x4"

Ingredients

My main toppers are material from Hobby Craft

The papers are DCWV Christmas Wishes
Little toppers are magazine freebees

Some ribbon&other little bits

Whenever I sit down to craft my OH always annoys me grrrrrrrrrrr.

Now this card/house is made after the Crafters Companion 3D CD. I have to say very easy to fallow. It looks scary but it's not. Alfie loves is soooooo much, might have to make one more if I have time lol

I have used: Crafters Companion's Cute Companions Winter Tales stamps

White cards from my stock

Tim Holtz distress inks to colour my papers

White Flower soft for the roof

Ribbon for the baby
Hey

Ingredients

High Hopes Stamp:Goliath Xmas

Paper Doyle

Big circle punch

Crafters Companion hat stamp

Tim Holtz Distress inks

Glitter paper

DCWV paper

Liquid Applique

Gold embossing powder

Glitter pens

Glitter glue

This is just a close up. I have used the liquids applique on the hat an beard than after drying I heat set it. It's a fab stuff I love using it. Liquid applique can be used as a snow. On the background I used my distress inks, but used brush and stapled onto the card to give a bit of umph. I used my ink on the Doyle paper too.

The big background paper I made it. Again used my distress inks then I embossed the hat on it after that I simply stamped the hat with black ink.

For inside I stamped&embossed the hat out and inked my Doyle paper which is my insert.. To finish it I'm gonna stamp a sentiment onto my Doyle paper

My friend's doughters BD card

I had to come up with a good keepsake, so I designed a new type of wordbook. Loads of work went into it but it was worth every minute of it.

Ingredients

Crafters Companion: Cute Companion CD

Crafters Companion Stamps

My craft Studio CD

Other little bit's and bobs

For the front I used tags what I opened up in My Craft Studio (MCS) and re sized it then wrote the wording in it.

Below is the top view of my card. The letters were re sized in MCS so all the same size.
On the 1st page I used an envelop what I made smaller with MCS and I wrote Happy Birthday Lilly what I copied several times and dragged it onto the envelope than cut it out.

Here just used some of my cute stamps and the balloon is from popcorn set.

The small pillow box was again re sized in MCS

For the back I used the banner and inside I wrote "Lilly's 1 today" with MCS and used few more little embellishment from my stash.

I'm just getting the hang of MCS CD and I really really enjoy it.

For this card I haven't used really any measurements just done the folding as needed.

Challenge 2: Colour Create green/red/white-Christmas

Ingredients

Cute Companion Stamps

Some left over backing paper not sure which CD

Glitter

Ribbon

Doyley paper

When I seen the sketch I just had to start it strait away. Love this one sooooooooooo much, the only problem is that I forgot the given colours by Rachel so girls(at Crafters Companion) if my card is not good enough please let me know and I make an other one. I had loads of leftover bits and bobs and I just had to used them. The ribbon bit was crying out for glitter so I had to put a bit in there.

This skim suited the Colour Create Challenge so I thought I do 2nd entry.
Inside again I used left over and a sentiment stamp

Ingredients:

The dog topper which is material is from Hobby Craft

Mini belles

Merry Christmas confetti

Left overs

Peel off

The picture above is the Colour Create's inspirational picture. As I'm posting late makes me bit hungry :-)
The card came from a free bee the topper left from last year, so the whole thing was quick, few little extras and that's it. I wonder who's gonna get this card. Got few friends on my list who loves dogs.

I used left over paper as an insert and used a small peel off to brighten it up.
