Hey, how’s it going? If you follow me on social media you may have heard me waffle/moan about having a bit of a creative block recently. Sorry about that.
To clear my ‘channels’ I decided to go back to doing daily mini creative thingys. You know, random stuff.
I have been having a go at making gifts bags this week. Something I’ve not really tried before but with the big ‘C’ coming up I thought that I’d like to have a go this year.
This project started out with the Poinsettia Gift Tag Stamp from Designs by Georgina. I stamped this out onto Kraft card using an Archival Inkpad; this was then cut out around the outer edge.
In October I ran a couple of scene stamping workshops using the wonderful clear stamp range from Hobby Art Ltd.
I thought that it might be a nice idea to put together a quick video showing you how I went about creating one of the three scenes that were prepared for these workshops in cased you missed the chance to attend in person.

Hey, just realised – it’s a one hundred million pound jackpot on the Euromillions tonight!
Just before I dash off to buy me a ticket I’d best show you my next Artist Trading Card daily post.
Are we really free? It’s a philosophical question that world events really do bring out minds around to again and again.
I’m of the opinion that we are to a good degree – there’s policy and guidelines of course but, as this ATC365 attests, all good things are wild and free!

Dreams are a common thing among humans – but do electronic sheep dream?
I’m pretty sure that this is a quote from a book that was made into a film at some point, but I can’t guarantee it – in either case, it’s possibly got nothing to do with this Artist Trading Card Daily creation.
Ooo, I do like a bit of fancy every now and then. Don’t you?Read More »
Hallo me hearties!
Ever have that thing that where what you set out to make doesn’t end up anything like you initially imagined? Well, I can tell you that it can happen to even the smallest of projects.
Well, those Colorburst offcuts just keep on giving. This time I thought that the splatters looked a little like pollen or scent wafting in the warm winds and how sweetly scented they would be.
Probably not a good thing to remind me of today as I have been sniffling my way through a good run of hayfever recently and really wish it would do one.
I couldn’t resist the Color Burst/Creative stamping combo – so here is another!
Hello again! Today’s Artist Trading Card again features a stamp from Creative Stamping magazine combined with some Colorburst however this time I decided to work with hot pinks!
A big hello to you all. The artist trading card daily challenge continues today with number 104.
This mini make features a wonderful stamp design from issue 25 of Creative Stamping magazine.
This artist trading card daily challenge is genuinely one of the most fun things that I have ever embarked on.
Every time I sit down I have to look for new ways of doing things. This is really keeping my mojo going (and my craft room in a mess).
Anyway, here is ATC number 102 for your viewing pleasure.
One of my favourite artistic styles is Art Deco. The ladies and gents (depicted in the movies) all dressed up and had a whale of a time.
This Artist Trading card is therefore dedicated to my love of the era.
First of all, let me just explain the title – it has nothing to do with THOSE BOOKS or THAT THING, but now that I have your attention, you might like to read about some rubber stamping that I have been doing this week?
After you’ve cooled down.
