Rest In Peace - Or Pieces?

The latest challenge over on Tag Tuesday is Spooky Vibes. I thought this tag might fit the bill.

Cover a #8 manila tag with a gel print created with pink dye based ink on a gel plate with splashes of orange and red liquid Brushos. Trim the excess.

Stamp the solid jigsaw piece from Sam’s Shapes 1 in Carved Pumpkin Oxide in several places.

Stamp the outline over each solid jigsaw shape in Onyx Black Versafine ink and heat emboss with clear powder.

To finish, add two of the Halloween quote chips by Tim Holtz.

SHAC Baubles: Ideas and Inspiration

 I thought I'd share some inspiration using the SHAC baubles stamps and the build a bauble stamp sets from Clarity Crafts in time for Christmas card making.  As always, links to the projects are below each photo.

Using coloured paper and fussy cut (see HERE).

BOW-WOB Print Shepherd window

I thought I would have a play with a gel plate and BOW-WOB papers with the Shepherd window stencil from Clarity Crafts.

Christmas Windows Stencils and Stamps: Ideas and Inspiration

 I love the Christmas Window designs from Clarity Crafts.  They are available in stamps, stencils, Groovi and dies.  Here I am sharing some ideas and inspiration not only for Christmas.

A row of windows (see HERE).

Dove Christmas Window

I thought one of my Yupo print backgrounds would work well with the Dove Window stencil from Clarity Crafts. 

October #dailycollage2024 Pages - Part One

I think that my October #dailycollage2024 pages are probably my favourites of the year to now.  I love autumn colours and the images of fallen leaves.  As usual my pages start with Clarity Infusions Collage papers - this time Darjeeling - and are finished with a Clarity Words sticker from one of their five collections.

WOYWW 802/22: Voice Back!

 Welcome to the weekly desk share that is What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday - for 15 years Julia's baby and now entrusted to me for safekeeping.  Please feel free to link up your desk and/or visit those whose desks are far more interesting than mine.

I have been adding to my paper storage folder collection and have two more on their way.  Will still need another 5 or 6 at least to house all my Clarity 8x8 papers but they will be much better organised.

I cheated a little with my #dailycollage2024 pages this week as the Friday and Saturday pages were both created on 12th.  I had a sore throat Thursday morning last week and woke up Friday with no voice and feeling hot and cold.  Spent the day in bed under the covers wearing my Oodie to keep snug.  It meant also cancelling the recorder play day I was supposed to attend on Saturday.  Was back at work on Monday and my voice held up OK.  We are in school again on Saturday morning as it is the open morning for prospective parents.  Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

It's A Girl

This card was made using one of the Just Flowers Silhouette Frame stamps from Clarity Crafts.  I was inspired by a card made by Deborah Wheeler using one of the Just Gents Silhouette Framer stamps.

Panda Bamboo Birthday

 My son requested that I made a card for a friend's birthday.  As she likes pandas I teamed this stamp with the Clarity 2-way overlay bamboo stamps to create this card.

Sympathy Lilies

 A former neighbour and friend of the family passed away after a short illness recently.  I used the Lily stamp and mask set from the Linda Williams second floral collection to make a sympathy card.

Whimsy, Flower and Christmas Poppets

 As the new Pixie and Sprite Poppet stamps have just been released, I thought I would do a round up of projects using the previous stamp sets.  As usual the links to step by steps appear below each photo.

Coloured with added fluff (see HERE).

Tina's Christmas Element: Ideas and Inspiration

 These are worth triple points on Clarity Crafts until Monday at midnight so I thought I'd do a round up of my projects using some of the stamps. As always, links to projects are below each photo.

Lovely embossed (see HERE).

Sprite Poppet Kraft Notelets

I used four of the mini Sprite Poppet stamps from Clarity Crafts to create this quick and easy set of notelets.

WOYWW 801/21: What Fabulous Memories

 What a fabulous celebration of friendship and memories last week for WOYWW.  It was brilliant that so many of you joined in, including the originator of the idea, Julia who got things started and entrusted me to carry on after 15 years.  So if you would like to show what is on your desk and link in you will be heartily welcome to What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

I have been thinking ahead to next year and my next daily project.  Thought I'd give watercolour a go as I certainly have plenty of supplies.  I will definitely keep things small though - maybe a splodge one day and then doodle over with a micron pen the next day.

I think this month's #dailycollage2024 pages are my favourite colour combination so far.

I have a parents' evening after school today so will have to finish visits tomorrow morning.  The plumber should be coming to fit a new thermostat to the boiler tomorrow so then I will have heating again as well as hot water.  Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

Mia Pixie Poppet

I went with a stencil background for this Pixie Poppet.

Turning Sprite and Pixie Poppet postcards into Cards

The postcards of the Sprites and Pixie Poppets can easily be used as a toppers for cards. Here I used two of them to create two cards.

Mabel Sprite on Kraft

For this card using the larger Mabel Sprite stamp I went with a more muted colour palette on kraft card.
