The Glittered Poppleberry

  Hello Papercrafters,   How are we already half way into another week, this year is disappearing before I have chance to blink! I have been working on this cute little card, using products from my recent haul. If you would like to watch my crafty hauls, head over to my youtube channel.  This card is giving me retro 70's vibes, anyone else think so?   Products I used:  Simon Says Stamp Hello Die Concord & 9th Mod Turnabout Stamp Distress Oxide inks - Spiced Marmalade, Antique Linen, Peeled Paint and Faded Jeans Sentimentally Yours Charming Squares Die Set Zig Wink Of Stella Brush Pen       Method: The first step in making this card, was using the turnabout stamp, these are great fun and easy to use. I used my Tim Holtz Stamping Platform when using this stamp. First I stamped with Spice Marmalade, then wiped the stamp, rotated it 90 degrees and reinked with antique linen. After stamping that, I repeated the process with the other colours. Top Tip: Keep turning the stamp in the s

  Good Afternoon crafty friends! I cannot believe how fast this year has flown by, its crazy and I am starting to panic. Christmas is going to be here in the blink of an eye. So I've been doing lots of crafting along with all these fab deskers, head over to The stamping ground to check out some other messy desks! In this picture, my empty coffee ...I need to make another :) So front and centre are some MDF baubles that I decorated and sealed, finally adding a ribbon loop to each. (Yes I did burn myself with the glue gun again!) Above the keyboard is my Ipad and apple pencil I use for designing stickers for my etsy shop. Next to those is some finished ATC coins and Inchies, they are being swapped next month.  This is the view of the right side of my desk, on the right are my coaster, then notepad stack. (Im obsessed with stationery)  Inkpad stack, nintendo switch, my washi drawers because I have too many. Also there is another replacement blade for my silhouette cutting machine. Lef

 Evening crafty friends!  I wanted to head over to the blog to share some ATCs that I have completed ready for a few swaps.  Overall I'm pleased with the results and look forward to making some more ! The themes were Gothic, Galaxy and Under the sea. I think the Gothic completed cards are my favourite. Which are yours?  Thank you for spending some of your time with me. Crafty hugs, Ellie

 Good morning lovely, crafty friends! It's week 600 of WOYWW! Absolutely fantastic collection of crafters and desks, seriously head over to the Stamping ground HERE to get involved. We are a friendly bunch, honest! Unfortunately I wont be able to take part in the zoom meet up today, because of therapy. I trust you will all have a good giggle. Really thrilled to be part of this crazy group and so pleased to see the 600 milestone get smashed!  So on the topic of desks, here is mine ... You know all those Christmas elements I stamped, coloured and fussy cut. I didn't use a single one on my cards. What a plonker! Decided to pop one inside each card instead as an extra detail. So my cards are finally finished and now to write them all out. Then onto making some little boxes for bath bombs I am gifting to a few friends. So the hounds, they both got bought a coat the other day, as its getting chilly. They look awfully posh now and seem to enjoy having them on too!  Since its Lyrax'
