I have recently become a happy black cat owner and this little gift is meant for a wonderful lady who gave me the cat :) There are some cans of cat food plus a toy mouse inside. 

I have wrapped the box in a kraft paper (this is the kind of paper that I use for nearly all my gift wrapping!). Then I added some splatters, attached a red ribbon and a handmade tag on top.

Hello everyone - Lynn here with you today on the SHC blog.

I've made a fishy card with the Laserowe bubbly fish. I think it's perfect for sending a message. I've chosen to use Happy Birthday with the Gummiapan line art sentiment die and the little worn ringed star stamp fits in there too!

I wanted to make this a fun card and the Live Love Laugh die from Gummiapan is perfect, and with a little adjustment fits inside the circle too. I used the Maja Life By The Sea 6x6 paper pad for the die cuts and to back the fish. I also cut two strips from different papers for the background. The distressing is already on the papers - isn't it cool?

I used the "waste" heart from the Live Love Laugh die for the third circle. I also thinks it looks a little like a fish tail peeking out from the sea.

I absolutely love the way that the Magnolia stamps Country Girl Country Leaves die really lifts a little arrangement of flowers with its beautiful fronds and leaf. You only need to cut a few and you have the most gorgeous foliage ever.

Morning everyone, Becky here with today with my latest creation. I have been wanting to update the clock in my craft room for a while, and as soon as I saw these stamps I knew I had to use these. I actually butchered my old clock for the mechanism, lol.

I've masked the two images together, first off I stamped TILDA IN WONDERLAND using a TIM HOLTZ STAMPING PLATFORM and making sure that the paper is flush to the edge, with the magnets in place as you don't want the paper to move. I then stamped the same Tilda to a post it note, making sure that I stamped where it is sticky. The next step was to cut around Tilda pretty much on the outline, and then stick this over the stamped Tilda. This is where the platform comes into its all; lay the image that you want to appear to be behind on top of Tilda in the place that you want, in this case it is the TILDA IN WONDERLAND CLOCK, close the lid to pick up the stamp, ink it up and then stamp. The beauty of this is if you need to add more ink then you can as your paper is firmly in place, and the stamp will stamp in the exact same place again.


I have coloured Tilda in with distress reinkers, to match the papers from Maja Design, I have used several sheets from the DENIM & FRIENDS 6x6 PAPER PAD, I mean she had to be in blue, right?


I have also used distress reinkers on the CLOCK but mailny for shadow and to make it look old.


I have cut a BACKGROUND HEARTS DOOHICKEY in two, and had it overhang the image here...

... and here.


Because of the hands of the clock going round I was a bit restricted as to what I could put on the rest of the canvas, I can't put nothing on, CAS isn't my style, lol, so I used the dies that come with the CLOCK and popped a pearl on too. I have also kept the hearts from the DOOHICKEY and dotted them around the canvas too.



Thank you for stopping by,

Hugs,

Becky xx
