A Bottle of Vine and Just the One stamp set by Honey Doo Crafts

Morning crafters
How are you all today?
I'm very excited as I'm off to the Sincerely Yours show at Maidstone today. .got my very long list lol

Anyways today I'd like to share a DT sample I made to showcase the beautiful
Bottle of Vine stamp set and the Just The One coordinating sentiment  stamp set
These are available to buy now from
Www.honeydoocrafts.co.uk

I first worked out how tall the bottle was on my card blank then drew two lines, top and bottom,  with a black fine line. This created two panels which I then stamped the bunch of grapes and the leaves in, in a random manner

I coloured them in with Kuretake clean colour pens 

I stamped the bottle and glasses, in black versafine ink,  in the centre of the card blank and coloured them in with the pens

The sentiment was stamped onto an oval die cut and mounted onto a black oval. This was attached to the card blank with a foam pad

Two bunches of grapes were stamped,  coloured in and cut out and then arranged around the sentiment to complete this sample.

I hope you like it

Extra Special stamp set by Altenew

Evening crafters.

Thought I'd share a couple of cards I made today using the
Extra Special stamp set by Altenew

It's amazing how different they can look just using different colours.

For the first one I made a watercolour background to stamp my image against, and I used Versafine black onyx ink to stamp the outline flower stamps.  I only coloured a couple of parts of the image, with my kuretake clean colour pens

The second one was stamped in a brown versafine ink and I used the layered stamps within the set to colour the flowers in with distress inks

The last one was stamped in a navy blue ink and distress inks, again using the layered stamps within the stamp set

Sentiments finished them off

Have to say I think my favourite is the first one with the watercolour background.  What's yours?

Honey Doo Crafts Butterfly Border, Cherry Blossom and Whatever you Want To Be stamp sets

Good morning crafters

A sunny morning here in Kent. Hope you have a lovely Saturday x

I'd like to share a DT sample I've made using the following stamp sets

Butterfly Border, and matching die
Cherry Blossom
Bee Whatever You Want To Bee

All these stamps are available from

To begin I cut some kraft card slightly smaller than the card blank, and inked around the edges with a white ink pad

I used some white texture paste,  randomly through a brickwork stencil then adhered this to card blank with wet glue

The Butterfly border was stamped twice, in black versafine ink,  coloured with Kuretake clean colour pens and cut out with a coordinating die

The Cherry Blossom flowers were also stamped in black versafine ink and coloured with the pens, before cutting them out and shaping them.

I adhered one of the Butterfly Borders to the card using pinflair glue gel

I cut a few of the butterflies out of the second border and attached them with the glue gel too

To complete I stamped the sentiment in black versafine ink

Campervan Adventure stamp set

Afternoon crafters
Hope everyone is having a lovely day

Thought I'd share a couple of cards I made using the fun Campervan Adventure stamp set by For The Love of Stamps by www.hunkydorycrafts.co.uk 

For this one I inked/smooshed a frame from Julie Loves set with distress inks.

Using the same colours I masked off the campervan then stamped the flowers, so they stamped within the image

I also stamped and coloured in some of the flowers and cut them out to create 3d flowers

After assembling the card I stamped the sentiment in black ink and drew a wonky line around it with a fine line pen

For my second card I used the same masking technique to stamp flowers onto the campervan, which had been stamped onto an oval die cut

The flower stamps were stamped randomly  onto some white card, slightly smaller than the card blank

A flower was stamped and cut out using a stamp from the Trio of flowers by Honey Doo Crafts 

I assembled the card adding a few decorative die cuts to embellish it

Morning crafters
Hope everyone is well and looking forward to a good weekend

I'd like to share another DT sample using the stunning
Floral Crest stamp and coordinating die
Little Lilies and Leaves stamp set
Dream Sentiments stamp set

I stamped the Floral Crest onto some white card,  coloured it in with Kuretake clean colour pens and cut it out using the coordinating die

I then stamped a few of the matching flowers from the Little Lilies and Leaves stamp set and coloured them in the same colours, before cutting out. 

A piece of vellum was laid on top of my stamped background, with the flowers laid in place, so I could work out where I wanted my sentiment to go. This was stamped and heat embossed with ink and clear embossing powder

I then adhered the Floral Crest, and cut out flowers, around the vellum panel, using pinflair glue to hold it all in place

Some dried flowers were tucked behind the flowers on the bottom left of the card

To complete I matted this onto some lilac card and then adhered to card blank.

Happy Easter Monday xx

Hope you've got a chocolaty crafty day ahead lol

I'd like to share a notelet box I created using the gorgeous 

Aray of Flowers stamp set available from

Www.honeydoocrafts.co.uk 

To make the box I created a card blank slightly bigger than my 5x5 card blank notelets.  Ensuring there was an extra 1cm in length to create a 1cm wide spine. Using a strip of card I made a simple folded box to slip the notelets in and attached this to the bottom of the card. Templates can be found on Pinterest and You Tube.

I took another strip of white card to create a belly band to hold the box closed

I measured a square of card, smaller than the front of the box, and another piece smaller than the front of the belly band, and stamped the Aray of Flower stamps randomly.  These were coloured in with Kuretake clean colour pens.  

I matted both pieces of card onto black card and adhered to the front of the box and on the belly band 

I took the 5x5 card blanks and stamped them all with the Aray of flowers before colouring them in with the kuretake pens. 

I hope you liked my make and thankyou for popping by
