Bit of a two-for for this ATC creation, mostly because the first one didn’t quite turn out as expected.
To be fair, neither did the second but then this creative journey is about trying different things and experimenting :)

I have been reflecting on life a lot recently and have come to the conclusion that I should be grateful for a lot of things. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not been an easy ride; I’ve had my fair share of rubbish bits but just recently I am trying to make the choice to look at the positives and be appreciative of what I have so I wanted to sum this up in one of these ATC makes.
After a little rummage through my stash I think that I found the perfect set of sentiments. It was the “Friendly Advice” clear stamp set from Inkadinkado.
Today’s ATC celebrates Spring. Back when I made this it was a distant vision of the future, but as I write this post it has been a beautiful day and it really feels like Spring is finally popping it’s head around the door! :)
For a while now I have had a list of design ideas that I’ve been wanting to try. With a rare day off the other day I thought that I would give one of them a try.
It was a simple concept – make a teabag folding design using rubber stamps.
Little did I realise that it would become a labour of love and take up most of that day off.
It was definitely fun to do though and I was so proud of it that I thought that I would like to share it with you all.
Ever have those mojo lows? I know I’ve had a couple over the last few weeks, and having talked to some of you on Facebook and Twitter, it appears that you often have the same problem. I therefore thought that I would start a little mini-series of mojo busting techniques that I sometimes use in the hope that it will help you too :)
Now, I don’t know whether it is my age, or just the need for something tangible in my hand however I have been reaching more for magazines lately than I have the internet. Are you the same? (Seems a bit weird asking that as you are reading this on the internet…)
Anyway, I recently wanted to do a bit of stamping but really didn’t know where to start (that mojo was M.I.A) so I started flipping through my stash of magazines when I came across some great designs from Stephanie De Geus (cool name huh?) in Issue 14 of Creative Stamping magazine…
Remember back when I was demonstrating the Inkadinkado Stamping Gear on Create and Craft TV? Well, it’s back – and so am I :)
There will be new Stamping Gear, new stamps and some other great little craft room helpers to boot – so what’s coming up? Read on my friends, read on.
Do we ever need a reason to celebrate? Can we celebrate just for the sake of celebrating?
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 »
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’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.
