Bank Holiday Stamping Fun!

Despite the last Bank Holiday of the Summer falling on a cold, very wet, and very windy weekend, I have been busy at home indulging in one of my favourite crafting activities... stamping! Here are some of my bank holiday weekend makes, including some early Christmas Cards! All the stamps are either Hunkydory's For the Love of Stamps, Penny Black or Wild Rose Studio. Enjoy!




This is actually a Barkley Stamp by Crafters Companion!






I am really proud how this came out. Used Hunkydory's new Prism Inks for the Lips /Kisses







Love the singing cat and dog! (For the Love of Stamps).

Stamps!!!

Wow! It's been a long time since I have updated this blog! So much has happened!! One of the many things that have happened is that I have seriously got into stamping. I still love decoupage, but I have also discovered a love for stamps and colouring in using alcohol markers and watercolours! I am finally using my Spectrum Noirs and Chameleon Pens!!
Here are some photos of cards I have made using stamps from my three favourite stamp brands; For the Love of Stamps by Hunkydory, Penny Black and Wild Rose Studios. Most of them are in cellophane as I forgot to photograph them before I put them in bags, so apologies for the glare on some of them.
Enjoy xx

I made this card for my Dad when he got a new shed on his allotment!
