Smash Your Stash-Metal

Morning and wow last Saturday of the month so soon ---so time for the Smash Your Stash Journal page challenge with my talented blogging friend Vicki who makes amazing journal pages.The prompt this month was "Metal" ans I certainly raided my stash for this one lol.I found another pre-made background in my journal,I always use the pages for left over ink and cleaning stencils.

I embossed some matt mirri card with a TH embossing folder and swiped over with black acrylic,die-cut some cogs, and found a metal themed tag I made for a tag swap which got cancelled a couple of years ago.Agged some can tags,metal scre brads and a screwdriver brad I found,the two cornewr pices and shape the screwdriver is on were die-cut waste and then I found a large flower die-cut from metal I have had for years -think that was a TH die too.Hope you will pop over and check out Vickis blog too.

Triangle Accordian Pocket Card

Morning and I have made a 5"x7" Triangle Accordian Pocket Card

The patterned papers are from The Works and the happy birthday is a Tonic Die.I added a couple of tags in the pocket and have to admit the one with the extra piece on -I put first paper on upside down and it was meant to be the pink side too lol.Not much more to say really except it was really easy.

You Having a Giraffe

Morning and my second post today is for a card made having a play with some a(to me ) Pink Ink stamps set-bought from someone on a FB selling page and had to have a play-made two but this is the first happy accident lol.

I had the brilliant idea of die-cutting the front to show the image inside-pity I didn't make sure the die-cut was the right was -so the image went in upside down -thought it was perfect with the sentiment so went with it.The image and sentiment are on 3-D foam pads,p.paper from The Works and promarkers on the image.

Baby Card and Vintage Pram

Morning and we have a new ATG challenge at The Crafty Addicts-I was asked for a Baby card and found an old image printed out from a couple of years ago(as still no printer) Vintage Pram from Just Inklined, don't think they are still in production!Coloured the image with promarkers and a silver gel pen on the metal parts(not that it shows!!!) A scrap of P.paper/ribbon and dewdrops from stash to match box, with some Angel hair on background,die-cut frame I think is Memory Box packaging long gone!I remember having a pram similar to this for my eldest two but not with the big wheels and had a tray underneath for your shopping-or son used to lay on it with a blanket.I had a pram seat that went on the top for my son to sit on too with daughter in the pram much better than the prams today.

Travel postcard

Morning and I have two DT posts today-the first one is for the Anything Stamped/Around The World challenge at Stamping Sensations.

I struggled with this theme until I found a really old stamping set behind a box of card-World Travel Set from Rubber Stampede.

I used a piece of a background already made with inks and stamps and made a postcard.I stamped onto the background then stamped the suitcase/postcards and camera and the half stamp in the corner and stuck them onto the card, glossy accents was added to the camera lens.

There are two prizes on offer this month---
