Recently I picked up Issue 05 of ‘Get Stamping’ magazine at my local newsagents because I loved the look of the free set of clear stamps that came with it.
When a friend came down from Glasgow for a visit last week I realised that I hadn’t done my Christmas cards yet and wanted to give her the card while she was here.
I therefore put together a quick card to wish her a Merry Christmas.
I often get visits to my blog from countries other than the United Kingdom so in honour of my blog buddies worldwide I wanted to create a card as a bit of a thank you and to say hi to all of you lovely folk.Read More »
Apologies that this post isn’t specifically craft related (although I will be making something later on this month to celebrate) but I just thought that I would let you all know that I will be participating in Movember.

Halloween is just once a year and therefore I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to break out the craft stash and make a little something.
I recently got my hands on a set of montage stamps from the Stamps Away Collection and thought that I would have a play.
What started out as one thing, once again ended up as something totally different.
I haven’t really experimented much with embossing folders but have always liked the way that they can add interest to the background of a project so I thought that I would have a go at coming up with something myself.
This “Bird On A Branch” card was what I ended up creating – here is a quick overview of how I put it together.
We all know the feeling, the nights are drawing in and getting colder so we go out less and look for things to keep us busy in the long winter months.
So, at the risk of creating yet more UFOs I’ve been looking at starting some winter projects.
I’ve been having another play with the Inkadinkado Stamping Gear and came to the conclusion that quite a few of the designs that I was making looked like doilys, so I thought that I would explore this route and see what I could create.
A couple of weeks back I picked up several clear stamps at my local Hobbycraft store and, having a day to play, I thought that I would use them with the Inkadinkado Stamping Gear and see what I could create.
You may have recently seen in my post about UFOs that I had made a start with an idea that I had a while back about using the Inkadinkado Stamping Gear together with Parchment Craft.
This post will hopefully give you Inkadinkadoodlers another idea for using the system, and also help me clear another UFO.
I’m seeing single layer stamping in a number of places right now, so I thought that I’d give it a go and see what I could come up with.
Here is an overview of what I did and how I did it.
A question that I get a lot is how to go about using clear or unmounted rubber stamps with the Inkadinkado Stamping Gear.
Indeed it was a question that I asked myself when I first got the system and now I’m pleased to say that I have found a couple of solutions.
Here is a quick talk through a couple of them.
Ever get the feeling that you’re not quite fulfilling what you set out to do creatively speaking? Well, UFOs (Unfinished Objects) could be the culprit – so I recently discovered.
Here is a quick photographic tour of what I have unfinished, on-the-go, or just not even started yet.
A couple of weeks ago I decided to have a go at making dimensional flowers using the Inkadinkado Stamping Gear from EK Success Brands.
I was pleasantly surprised when I realised just how easy it was so I though that I’d write a little blog post on how I did it in case you would like to give it a go too.
So far I have been creating some quite sizable projects with the Inkadinkado Stamping Gear from EK Success however a lovely lady called Suzanne, from Australia, recently contacted me via my Facebook page and asked how she would go about creating smaller projects with the Inkadinkado Stamping Gear.
Through some experimentation I have discovered that size doesn’t matter and that you can work on projects all the way down to an Artist Trading Card (about 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches) so I thought I’d share some ideas with you all.
