It's me again..

Hey all!
It's me again. I've not been very motivated this week, felt very down in the dumps. However I was able to make a few things. I've been reading Docrafts Creativity for a while now as you know and yesterday I decided to have a go at a card layout which inspired me. I dug into my dads paper box and nicked a few bits of trasing paper to emboss. The effect was amazing and inked it looks great! Bare in mind when you dry emboss tracing paper, it cracks. Doesn't make the design any less awesome though. Here's my tracing paper card:
Doesn't the flower and embossed oval look amazing! Not to toot my own horn or anything!
EDIT: This card is now on etsy! Take a Peak: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/179572332/dry-embossed-vintage-themed-blank-card?ref=shop_home_active_2

I've also made these this week:

Thank you for all being on my journey of creativity! See you all soon.

New cards... Valentines!

Hey all!
I've made a really gorgeous card that I really need to show you all. Of course I'm on the valentines band wagon now, but I really wanted to give this one a post of my own. So here it is! 
"I love moo" really would like a home this valentines day. Do you love someone who would love to giggle to this card? I made this using a new embossing board (it came today and I had to try it out) and some new cardstock. Cows came to my mind straight away.
EDIT: This card is now on Etsy! Take a Peak: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/179571682/dry-embossed-cow-themed-valentinesi-love?ref=listing-shop-header-2

I've also made another cute card which I want to give a little mention...

I hope you've enjoyed my post today! See you soon.

Taggies..

Hey all! 
Today I tried something a little different for me, I tried making tags. Well art tags anyways. I've been looking at a few on Pinterest and was inspired. Here are a few I made. 
This is a beautiful design, I'm very proud of this. Of corse my bigshot took most of the action here, but I love the colours my ink made too. I hope my sister will like this one!
I'm in love with Graphic 45 papers! I got this little kit with a magazine recently and I've decided to buy a few more soon! The vintage theme is defiantly me ATM.
Again my bigshot and embossing folders took place here. I then rubbed ink over the embossed areas. I think it shows the design well.
Another cutely vintage tag here. I have no idea what I will use this for but it needs a beautiful present I think! 
Another bigshot taggie, I'm really liking making bold tags. They seem to jump at me.

I'm glad you want to read today,

It's been a while....

Hey all! 
Don't worry I haven't forgotten about you! I've been a bit unwell and not sleeping so I've took some time to get better and relax. But now I'm back and ready to make! 
Just a quick post from me today showing you the little amount of items made this week.
These little beauties are ready to send to my two penpals (one English, one German) and after seeing their reaction to them, I think I will make more. These are simply made using my off cuts of card stock and embelishments. Created using an envelope stamp. 
This is my random makes using polymer clay. I got a few items for Christmas and decided to try a few Pinterest tutorials out. I must admit I didn't think any of these would work so I'm so happy they did. I just need to sand down and glaze over. Watch out for finished makes soon.

Thank for reading today!

Hey everyone! 
I finished my book! I love how it turned out and it's got pride of place on my window sill (needs to be on a shelf really but all my shelves are full!). Here are the pages, all created from the Docrafts Creativity magazine and tutorial. 
I hope you all loved this book as much as I do! You may see more 3D projects!
