Handmade album with a mini stencilling tutorial

Hi guys, I'm back today for 

Love to Craft and create

and I thought I'd show you a album I made using my Cinch machine,

I've fancied a Cinch for ages so hubby bought me one as an early xmas pressie, 

then of course I just had to try it out!!! lol

I used some of the gorgeous wood effect paper  from the Rose Garden collection on my base, then added a layer of My wedding paper both by Crafts and You design, this I distressed on the edges,

For the tag I first cut out a tag using a Tim Holtz die and some kraft cardstock,

I then laid my tag down, making sure it was straight, then I placed the stencil over the card stock making sure it was in the place I wanted the rose to be, then I taped the stencil down on the edges, I then  spread some modeling paste over the top, 

Remove the stencil, let the modelling paste dry and then decorate the rest of the tag as you wish,

Sorry for the blurry picture but as you can see, I added some gorgeous lace, then I cut out some of the roses and leaves from the cut out paper sheet, all links below, I also used a chipboard bird and added a pearl for it's eye,

At the top I added some more lace and some of the white twine, plus a couple more rose cut outs then some sequins here and there, a little glitter finishes off the center of the flower cut outs,

Inside I used the fabulous new Diary Notes pages Romantic by Studio 75,

Happy Crafting!!

Happy Birthday

Hi guys, over at

Craft Heaven shop inspiration

we have a theme this week Happy Everything,

well yesterday was Tegans 5th Birthday so I made her this card,

I used this adorable digital stamp from DI'S digi's called Lets light up a cake, when I saw it had five candles I just couldn't resist it, It's coloured with my distress re-inkers and I added a little glitter on the candles,

The gorgeous papers are by Pion Design my precious daughter 6" x 6" and the Paris Flea Market 12" x 12" for the letters which i added on top of some Noor Design balloons,

I added a five die cut to a Doo Hickey heart die, then finished off my card with some of the gorgeous flowers and Lace Tina sells in her online shop,

I couldn't resist this adorable digi called 3 little Christmas girls by All Dressed up and coloured it with my distress re-inkers, I've added hints of star Dust stickles for a snow effect and Glamour Dust for the fur trim.

I've also used a few Joy craft dies - point die, Winter Wishes circle die, Winter word die, plus a Magnolia Doo hickey tree die,

Papers are Maja design plus other and I used a sentiment by Crafters Companion Bebunni set,

Hi guys, I'm back from a little weekend away break, well I say break we had the family with us, lol

anyway I thought I'd show you a card I made before my break using the gorgeous Freesia stamp again by Altenew,

This time I've cut it out and layered it with 3D foam behind to raise the image, which I have coloured with my copics,

can you believe it!! another CAS card off me!!! 

I finished the card off with a few dots of distress ink and a little twine on my tag,

Best be off, as I've got Tegan today too, there is no rest for the wicked!!!

happy Crafting!!

Another thank you card

Hi guys, I'm back today with my card for Love to craft and create, this was the last and third card I made for Tegan's teachers/ helpers when she left her reception class,

I again used this gorgeous paper Lazy Evening from the Never Ending Summer collection by Lemoncraft, using both sides, they distress on the edges fantastically too which as you know is something I like to do,

I used the same wood effect side of the paper for the inside of the gorgeous Scrapiniec Royal rectangle frame, I then coloured the outside with some vintage photo distress ink too,

Underneath the floral display I used a Agateria inkspots stencil with some modeling paste,

I then used some of the fabulous twine Monika sells in her online store too, I really find twine so useful!!!lol
Edited to add, Monika now has the Scrapiniec thank you chipboard, now too,

My leaves and flowers are handmade as is the bird which I made using air dry clay and a mould,

Do check out Monikas fabulous range of products,

Summertime fun

Hi guys, I'm back today with my inspiration for 

Love to craft and create,

I love these beautiful papers with their delicate patterns and gorgeous colours by Craft and You Design - my wedding 12 x 12, they also distress beautifully,

I then added some of the beautiful lace in white and cut down some of the Wycinanka - Valentines Day background too, this I've kept in their natural colour,

The beautiful image is by All Dressed up called Fairy Swing, we went to a park the other day with Tegan and I had a little swing too, do you know how lovely it was to swing again for the first time in years!! talk about small things, lol

anyway back to the image she's coloured with my distress re-inkers and I added a few sequins here and there too,

The gorgeous flower is one of the new ranges of daises and I also used some of the new berries Monika has in her store too, do check these and all the gorgeous goodies out,

Lastly I cut out a tag, added some more lace and some of the fabulous light pink twine too,
