Oddball Art Co., - Digi Stamp Panties In A Bunch Creepy Cute Set of 4

Good evening friends and visitors


               Oddball Art Co,

This evening I am sharing sharing my post for Through the Craft Room Door design team. Today we are showcasing designs from Oddball Art Company where they specialise in 'Creepy cute STAMPS for your ghoulish crafting needs all year round!' You can win a $10 voucher for their store. We are an 'Anything Goes' challenge and we would love if you could join in with us. I have chosen to use Digi Stamp Panties In A Bunch Creepy Cute Set of 4 Image. I have really gone out of my comfort zone for this challenge and have made three items and here it is...



For this I have made a card using papers from my scrap box the image is coloured with Promarker's and I have put the sentiment on to sticky pads to raise it.




For the pillow box I created it using the We R Memory Keepers Pillow Box Punch Board, I created my own background paper using the images and sentiment and used a single image of the pants. I thought I could put a pair of panties in the box as a gift!




I then made a keyring using Shrink Art Frosted Shrinkles. I printed the image onto the Shrink Art, I wasn't sure if it would work, I then coloured the image with children's small pencils and used my heat gun to shrink it and then added a keyring attachment.


I hope you like what I have made and any comments are always lovely to read.

LOTV - James with Heart Bouquet

Hello friends and visitors

I hope everyone is ready for the weekend, let's hope that the weather is a good one! I've a busy one, a birthday party for a 3 year old tomorrow, secret cinema tomorrow night and Sunday a family afternoon. So no crafting for me, even though my mojo is not back I still have a lot of crafting to fit in and luckily it involves using my Cricut Maker.

Anyway, here is a card I made a few weeks ago and it's another cutie from Lili of the Valley and here it is...


 To make this I used the following:
6x6 card base
Lili of the Valley Digi image - James with Heart Bouquet which can be found HERE
coloured with Promarker's onto Neenah Classic card
Papers are First Edition from Let's Celebrate and Retro Blooms pads
Sentiment die is Make and Create
Ribbon and faux Pearls from stash.

Have a great weekend everyone and see you all soon!

Lee Holland - Christmas Dragon

Hello friends

I hope everyone is well? It would seem my mojo has gone for a walk, I hope it's not a long walk! I have so much to do before Christmas! Yikes.. I said the C word again. Fortunately, I have some cards I can blog that I've already completed. Here is one I have completed and another Christmas card, I'm loving these dragons from Lee Holland....


The photo is really disappointing as the image is a lot lighter in real time! Anyway, I used the following to make this:

6x6 Card base
Lee Holland Digi stamp - Christmas Dragon on Holly leaf - from his Etsy store
coloured with Promarker's on to normal card
Crafter's Companion embossing folder
Spellbinders square die
Sentiment is from another Lee Holland stamp set
Bling from stash

I hope you like it and thank you for taking the time to visit. Have a good week and see you all soon.

Pinksy Doodles for TTCRD Design Team

Good evening friends



This evening I am sharing my project that I have made for Through the Craft Room Door design team and today we are showcasing designs from Pinksy Doodles where you can win 5 Images/SVG's from their store. We are an 'Anything Goes Challenge' and you can showcase any craft, we would love if you can join in with us. I have chosen to use 'Butterfly Pop-Up Card'. I decided to use the SVG version and had to take the dust of my Cricut Maker to make this and here it is...


I decided to make a shaker card, the design is already sized, but I adjusted it slightly to fit an envelope I had, I used paper from Craft Sensations 12x12 pad 'Unique Stories', the peach backing card is from a Lidl card pack, the sentiment is from Lili of the Valley and bling and small sequins from my stash.

Thank you for taking the time to visit and I look forward to seeing all your beautiful creations.

Elisabeth Bell - Daisy Stamp

Hello friends

I hope every one had a good weekend, I spent yesterday crafting and binge watching TV! It was lovely and relaxing. I'm very lucky that my desk is in front of the window and I have a great view of the estuary or affectionately known as the river Thames, why the Victorians decided to call it Southend-on-Sea! 

Anyway, I'm sharing a white on white card with you today, there's not much to it, but this is one of my favourite stamps by Elisabeth Bell and I thought I would dig it out and give it a colour. So here is Daisy...


She is such a cutie and I used a 6x6 card base, the stamp was just stamped onto smooth card, nothing special, I wanted to keep the whites all the same. I used Promarker's to colour her. The sentiment is from an old Kaisercraft set.

Enjoy your week everyone and I'll see you all soon.

I would like to say a big thank you to Meg for commenting on Jaxon's card, he was over the moon with it!

So it's still lovely here in 'sunny Southend,' fingers crossed it stays this way at least until the end of week. So while it's sunny I'm sharing a card using Autumn/Fall colours. I've used a stamp that I've not inked up, but had for at least 10 years... (Note to self  must use my unused stamps!) Anyway, I have coloured the stamp using colours fit for an Autumn day and here it is...

To make this card I used the following:

6x6 card base
Sugar Nellie - Raven stamp, sadly Sugar Nellie are no longer trading!
coloured with Promarker's onto Windsor and Newton Promarker paper
Papers are from First Edition - Perfect Allusion
Everything else from stash.

That's it from me today, see you all soon and have a great weekend.

Guest Designer Today - Jaxon

Hello friends

Today my blog is being taking over by my friends son. Meet Jaxon who is 6 years old and loves to craft! I must say I am biased and he is very good at crafting! Over the school holidays I gave him some crafty bits to keep him a bit busy and he has made a beautiful card for his cousin, who he will be seeing over the coming weekend - it's party time at Primrose's! So meet Jaxon...


He has made a card using an image from a Lili of the Valley Art Pad which he placed onto Polka dot paper, red star embellishment's, a wooden tag which he has coloured and written his cousins name and an A6 Kraft card base. He had to get his mum to tie the ribbon for him, but he did say 'it wasn't as good as his Nana's'  lol. So the boy has talent and it's great to see the youngsters crafting and not spending time watching TV and playing computer games. I think I have some serious competition!


It would be lovely for Jaxon to see some lovely comments from my blog friends - so if you can please leave a comment. Thank you!
