Anything Goes.....with Splodgeaway!!

Woohoo Mornin' - I'm back again!!!

Gettin a tad regular with this bloggin' malarky eh???

Dont Panic I am sure it will all revert to normal soon lolol :-)

Today I am showcasing these little projects over on the Splodge blog HERE

These are 3 little gift bags are made from left over envelopes. 

They can be made to any size of envelope. Great, quick and easy as well as uniquely personal if needed. 

The masks I used were an original Splodge mask of winged horses and mermaids ( had it for ages and only just getting to use it :-) ) that I just love, smashed glass, swirly lattice and cupcake creator.

 I tied the colour scheme in with the lovely delicate washi tape being envelopes they don't like a lot of "wet" product so I stuck to inks and tapes. 

Here is the "HOW TO"

1. Take any sized envelope and seal it.

2. Trim off  1 end and decorate to your taste

3. Take your Hougie and score about an inch in on all for sides (this measurement can be varied depending on the size of the required giftbag) and then fold both ways making clean sharp lines

4. Insert your hand into the bag and spread the sides and base until a corner is formed at the bottom fold in and glue

5. Create fastening with either ties or a flap :-)

Easy Peasy as I said!! I hope you like this fun project .

Have a good "HUMP" day ;-) lol !!!

I am off to have coffee with a friend and then prep the cards for Friday's Splodge and  Dylusion's class

See you back here very soon

Crafty cheers for now

Art Flowers.....

 

Good Morning Peeps! How are we all??

 

I've been playing with the fab new Art Flower stamps from Sam Poole again over the Easter weekend

 

 

I really do sooooooooooooooo lurve this stamp set. it is so completely versatile. Today I have kept it all modern and funky basing these two cards on the same background.

 

 

I seem to be having a "clean" phase with design and I love the monochrome trend and but fancied a wee splash of colour with this one!

 

 

 This second one takes a card template from the new Hougie Book and this time its Copics and multi layering that add interest....plus it folds flat!!!!

 

Right only a quick pitstop today and probably for the next couple of weeks as I am busy with DT work and am a guest on the NHS merry go round on and off.!!! Grrrrr

 

Anyway - enjoy the rest of your week!!

 

Crafty cheers for now

Clarity challenge #2

Well Happy bank Holiday!!!

 

Rabbits, rabbits, rabbits. its that time of the month again!

The second clarity challenge is here!

 

We had such an amazing response to our first challenge - a great range of fantastic artwork. Congratulations to you all, I am so pleased you have all enjoyed it so much!

 

So here we go with this months challenge!!

 

IN THE GARDEN.

 

 

 

This time we'd like to see what you can create with any of Clarity's flowers/trees/gardening stamps - the world is your oyster, or should that be the garden is your canvas!!

 

This Card uses the Poppies in Bloom, Grasses 1, Grasses 2 and the Letter box kit.

 

 

 

I fancied a softer take on the monochrome look.....more mindful of Spring and light nights. (ha ha one out of two isn't bad as the snow photo shows!!)  I went with my favourite colour purple and using an oval aperture made from copy paper (had to be freehand as unfortunately my dies were either too small or too large - typical!!!) I stamped a wee frame before stamping and colouring with Copics.

 

 

The sentiment is a quote by Henri Matisse, its one that regularly appears in my art journals. The book end card is an enlarged version from the new Hougie Book 3  

 

 

I hope this gives you just a little inspiration (Go on - leave a comment if so - or just say Hi lol!) but please do check out all the other fantastic ideas over at the Challenge Blog

 

(Just a reminder though please check THE RULES - there aren't millions but this challenge is ONLY for CLARITY STAMPS use of any other will render your entry ineligible)

 

We are really looking forward to seeing yet more of your great work this month.

 

Let your Garden Grow.....happy challenging' !!!

 

Crafty cheers for now

 

Love
