What's in Sarn's Satchel this Sunday?

Hi Playmates!

In my satchel this week, I have my big skipping rope so we can skip in and out of it while singing rhymes! It also contains my homework.

I have really enjoyed playing with this AALL & Create 'Om Dee' stamp set with the witty accompanying sentiments.

This time, I stamped Dee twice . . . once straight onto the white square snippet, and again on an even smaller white snippet, so that I could cut her out and add her over the top of the diamond flooring I gave her to exercise on!

I stamped the sentiment top left and added the scissor-cut Dee over the top using foam pads for dimension. Before gluing the image panel to its pink mount, I roughed up the edges - just because I could!

Materials:

1. Snippets: White pieces of card for central panel, plus extra to stamp Dee on again; pink panel (recycled from a shop-bought birthday card);
2. Stamps: AALL & Create's 'Om Dee' stamp set #764 for figure and words; very old grungy diamonds stamp for flooring (details long forgotten!);
   
3. Tools: Edges roughened with a Tim Holtz distressing tool.

I'm hosting a new challenge over at the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND for the next fortnight. So why not take a look at your pile of snippets (I KNOW you have some), make something with them, then come and play!

For another card example I made using the 'Om Dee' stamp set, see HERE.

Songbird for Allsorts!

Here's a card I made for the current ALLSORTS CHALLENGE (Week 772) where Ellie has chosen the theme of Feathers and/or Fur (or there is always the anything goes option).

 4.5" x 5.5" Custom made card to fit the
main panel and matting.

As you can see . . . I went for the feathers theme and chose two new stamps to play with. The grungy flower is part of a set by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous "Botanic Collage CMS447". 

The Song Bird words and the bird image were heat embossed (see photo below) and are both from the PaperArtsy Hot Pick stamp set HP1005 which I bought from my local craft shop after admiring the set for YEARS! I grounded the bird with a very useful little stamp from an IndigoBlu set, but I forget which set!

I am NOT affiliated to the the links given - I just wanted to show you all the stamps in these two lovely sets.

Attempting to show you the
glossy heat embossing!

Thank you for visiting. I wish you a wonderful day.

Sunday Snippets!

Hi Playmates

It's Sunday morning and time for a new challenge over at the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND with yours truly in charge for the next fortnight.

Here's my homework:

A shaped card made for someone special. I cut and stamped all the panels to make a grungy background, then added a large silhouette flower stamp by Bee Crafty. I die-cut the circles, leaves and sentiment from SNIPPETS and added them to the card via a little hinge made from die-cut circles. This shaped card stands up easily but folds flat for posting.

Details on how to make this card shape are in my TUTORIAL page at the top of this blog HERE.

I'm running amok in the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND for the next fortnight - so grab your satchel and skip on over to find out what lovely prize is on offer, as well as all the details on how to enter.
