April Showers?????

Well April has arrived and as per usual the beginning of the month is a busy time for me in the shop.

Last Tuesday's card club was the first of the month and that means Stamp of the Month. I love this one, well I love them all, that's why I pick them, but I really couldn't wait to have a play with them this time.

It's a sheet of un-mounted clear stamps this month and as you can see the farm critters are really cute. I could have made card after card using them.

As usual there is a 15% reduction on the marked price for the rest of the month whilst stocks last.

The stamps lend themselves to decoupage really well and without even realising it, most of my cards are some bit raised.

This one uses ancient page ink and plain old colouring pencils, but you could make so many different cards in this theme.

Can't see this one very clearly in the photo, but it's just been stamped with the baby powder Kaliedacolor ink pad and then distressed and mounted. The cow in the bottom right hand corner is mounted on 3d foam.


Same technique as the first card for my little Gee-Gee and then stamped card blank with the 'neigh' stamp.

This little piggy is stamped in burgundy pigment ink and then embossed in clear over it. A little 3d-ing going on here too. Bacgroung papers are K&Co. distressed with same ink and wrapped with a co-ordinating ribbon. Obligatory gem flowers.

This one hasn't come out too well either, stamped and embossed in white and then brayered with the Kaleidacolor again. Decoupaged and then matted on plain cardstock. Lettering is cut with Sizzix - Girls are Weird font from brayered glossy card.




More to tell of course.
This months yarn of the month is Sirdar Juniper which is €4 per ball for April. I've been busy knitting up a easy jumper to show the yarn off, but still have a bit of sewing up to do. I'll post a picture up when it's complete.

Think that's it for now off to sew.
