Lolly pop Bookmarks

 Made these book marks from large lolly pop sticks.

After a coat of gesso I stamped my first bookmark with image by Stampotique and added a sentiment to the back. The second bookmark was stamped using kitchen images by AAll and Create…this bookmark is to go inside by favourite cookbook.

The bookmarks were painted using Inktense blocks and a touch of watercolour pencil.

I decorated with some twine and made a matched wooden embellishment to add to the ends.

Christmas Postage Stamps

 It’s a day late for Rudolph Day (aka 26th of the month) but made these tiny Christmas stamps and used them to make some cards. Stamp a really old one by High Hopes. 

Created inky backgrounds using mini stencils by That’s Crafty. 

Images were coloured using Promarkers.

The postage images were in a large set by Crafters Companion.

Ladybird Pegs

Made these altered wooden pegs to clip on the side of some of my house plant basket pots.

After a layer of gesso, I stamped this leaf design by Stampotique and then painted using Inktense blocks.

The finishing touch was the little wooden ladybird embellishment.

Merry Beary!

Made a couple of Christmas decorations which I plan on sending to people rather than a card.

I used three stencils to create the background.

Two by Crafters Workshop and One by My Favourite Things.

The cute beat image is part of a set by Funky Fossil and this was coloured using Promarkers.

The two card circles ai used with were stitched together using a sewing machine.

Cosy Crafting

 

While having a craft tidy up I found this little mini canvas and decided it would be great for a little Christmas hanging decoration. The Zinski PaperArtsy image was stamped onto the canvas and then I used watercolour paint to colour it. To add more dimension I stamped the image onto watercolour paper and again water-coloured the image a few times to create decoupage effect.
