The begining of the month

It seems to have taken me an age to get these photographs loaded up this time. My poor computer was having a bit of trouble doing what it as told.

Anyway it's Stamp of the month time again and this month I've gone for the 'Gone Fishin' Truck' from Great Impressions. It's a good stamp for Dads Day cards, but also looks really cool for all sorts of occasions. As is the norm here the stamp is available at 15% off of the marked price for the month whilst stocks last.



I did manage to find some time to make some cards despite all the fun and games with the move, but there are only 4 as my fifth was infected by a bug that decided to rest on my 3d glaze and will forever remain. If I get a chance I will have another go.

I've stamped over the acetate with Olive Green Stayz-on, the DAD has been stamped with Adirondack Dabbers.


This one has been stamped using the Brilliance Ink pads and then one of the images has been embossed using copper powder.



I've gone over the image with glass paint outliner and then filed it in with glass paint, cutting around the impression means no fishing rods this time and by sticking it down with 3d foam adds a bit of height.


I distressed some cardstock with a Distress Ink Pad first, stamped the image with Ancient Page and then cut the Cardstock to explode the image. Finished off with a 3d mounted impression.



It's also yarn of the month time, this month I wanted to say a little thank you for supporting us here so I've put three of the Araucania yarns on special.

Pheuen, Quellon and Patagonia are €7.95 per 100g for the month whilst stocks last. I think all of the Araucania yarns work really well knitted up into accessories - bags, gloves and wraps and home furnishings, cushion covers in some of these yarns have total wow factor.





That's everything for now as I need to continue with trying to build the website, I think it's safe to say I've set myself and incredibly time consuming task, particularly when combined with the move.

ARGHHHHH!!!!!!
