Mondays Sneak Peek Fairyopolis
Well as promised here is another sneak peak at the new range of Flower Fairies from Crafters Companion Fairyopolis. I am sure that you have been following the other design team members for their sneak peeks and there are some amazing ones. This is a double easel card, it is a lovely idea that I got from Leann Chivers who makes some amazing cards. For this card I used both the stamps and papers from the CD and also some Perfect Pretty Petals also from Crafters Companion. For the toppers I used spellbinders dies edged with some fine gliiter and a Martha Stewart punch. Not long now only one more sleep to go before the launch at 9pm tomorrow on Ideal World.

On the way to Spring !!!
Well the last couple of days here have been nice and sunny although still cold, but at least the nights are getting lighter. I keep telling myself that at least we are going in the right direction for summer, lets hope we have a nice one this year. Thought I would post another card today for this card I used Flower Fairies of the Garden CD from Crafters Companion. This is a lovely CD and made me think of summer.

3 Birds Clearly Hand Stamped
I just love this stamps there are so many things that you can make with them. They are small enough to make a card with a scence or just on their own. So I thought that I would share another card with you.

Time to share
Hello well I thought today that I would share a card with you, the idea was given to me by my friend Jayne Davies. Jayne is a design team member for Debbi Moore Designs and we usually go to Debbi's craft day in Darlington once every month. The is a really unusual idea for a different style of Easel card and if you would like instructions how to make this then just e mail me on pamleng1@hotmail.com.

Just love these stamps
Afternoon everyone well its another grey day here in the North East but at least the snow has kept away. We went out yesterday and drove through Melsonby and the snow there was about 2 inches. Hate the white stuff hope it stays away. Thought I would post a card I have made using the 3 Birds Clearly Hand Stamped set from Crafters Companion. This is a lovely set of small stamps in their own cute little box which can be used for any occasion, I had such fun using them.
To make this card I used standard white card stock to make the easel card and for the matt and layering used gold Mirri card and some backing paper again from Crafters Companion.The flowers are yes yet again from Crafters Companion, Perfectly Pretty Petals and for the centre and easel sides I used the Candi dots from Craftwork Cards. I stamped onto white card and cut out the shape using a spellbinders die and for the grass and sky I used a Big and Juicy Vibrant Primary ink pad. I stamped the cloud separately and cut out and edged with glitter.

These stamps are beautiful
Hello everyone, thought I would share with you a card that I made using the new SWALK 3 stamps from Crafters Companion. These stamps are just adorable, but I said that about the other SWALK as well, there are so many occasions that you can use these for they are a must have. This one I made using the best teacher stamp would be nice to give as an Easter gift. I am sure any teacher would love to receive a card with this stamp on.

Just love Beatrix Potter
I just love this Beatrix Potter CD and stamp set Appleby Dappley from Crafters Companion. This is a really cute card that I made using the CD and I cut the oval frames using my Cricut. The card is also from Crafters Companion Centura Pearl and I just used clear plastic thread to hang the ovals in the middle of each aperture.

Romance is in the air
Afternoon all from a very Windy North East of England, just been told it is going to get worse tomorrow, so good excuse to stay in and craft. Thought I would post a card with a Romance theme with a difference. I used the lovely Love CD from Crafters Companion and made it into the shape of a handbag. The bead for the handle where put on with thin wire and I just used ones I have had in my stash for ages. To decorate the inside I again used papers from the Love CD and cut them out using an XCut butterfly punch, I just love this punch. The flower on the front is from the range Perfectly Pretty Petals and from Crafters Companion

Morning all, hope you have all seen the new Crafters Companion Beatrix Potter release for Appleby Dappley it is absolutely gorgeous. Just thought I would let you all know that Susan from Crafty Nook in the indoor market in Durham is holding some demo's for this on Saturday, so if you are in the area don't miss the great opportunity, Susan would love to see you all.
This is just a simple sample of some I have made using just the stamps, embossing powder and some black and white card and paper. I made a set of small card and envelopes to go into the centre.

Thought I would share
Hi I thought that I would share with you something that I made recently for Crafters Companion as a part of their design team. I used the Love stamps which they have had on Create and Craft today. I thought this set of champagne glasses was just right to make wedding stationery. I used Crafters Companion Ivory pearlesant card and used silver embossing powder. For the circle elements I used my spellbinders, for the greeting I just used word and changed the colour to a light grey to look like silver. These were really easy to make and I think they make lovely wedding stationery.
