MMCSDT - Fantastic Mr Fox

Hello Everyone! It's my day for posting on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog today and  I am sharing the card I have made for our Animals themed week this week on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog. I have used one of the new Creative Expressions Animal Stamps on my card. This one is 'Mr Fox' and he is available here. 

I coloured him in using Graph'it Markers and Promarkers and cut him out before adding him to my card. The papers I have used are from the My Mind's Eye 'Record it Pretty Things' pad. They are gorgeous! I also added some flowers, a hessian ribbon and a lovely little heart button from The Ribbon Girl.

Here is a close up of Mr Fox, I think he is really fantastic and I will be treating myself to more stamps from this range soon as he was so lovely to colour. I hope you have a lovely Sunday!

My Mum's Craft Shop DT - Something new

Good Morning Everyone! I hope you are having a good weekend so far. I am here today with a tag I have made for our 'Something New' themed week which is starting today on the My Mum's Craft shop blog. I cut the tag using a Dienamics die and Gorjuss Girl papers and added a fishtail cut from striped paper using another die. The beautiful house stamp is from the Art houses set from Creative Expressions and I stamped it on to kraft and added it to the tag over some jute mesh.

I used a Dienamics heart die to cut a small tag which I stamped with a Lili of the Valley stamp before setting it with an eyelet and tying it on with some Docrafts string.

I then added some flowers a wooden butterfly, some key charms and buttons to finish off. I hope you have a lovely Sunday.

My Mum's Craft Shop DT - Inky fun with Creative Expressions stamps

Good Morning Everyone! It's my day for sharing a project on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog today and I am showing an altered frame I made using some of the gorgeous new Creative Expressions stamps available from My Mum's Craft Shop. The stamp set I have used is called Steampunk Flowers and is available here. I started with a light coloured wood box frame and removed the glass and took it all apart before staining it with Vintage Photo Distress ink. I kept going until I had the depth of colour I wanted sanding it down in between coats to achieve a distressed look. When I had finished staining I stamped the flower with cogs over the frame using Archival ink.

I created the picture inside the frame by blending Vintage photo distress ink onto white card and stamping around the edges with Vintage photo and Tumbled Glass inks. I stamped the sentiment with Archival ink and then put the frame back together before adding the flowers. I made these by stamping onto grunge paper and colouring them with distress inks and heating them with my heat gun to shape the petals. I added a Tim Holtz ticket on a pin holder and some Steampunk charms from my stash, some paper flowers and some Butterflies and little stick on pearls to finish.
I hope you have a lovely Thursday!

My Mum's Craft Shop DT - Steampunk pink!

Hello Everyone! I hope you are well and having a good week. I had a pretty rubbish evening yesterday, water has been slowly leaking from my water inlet pipe to my washing machine, probably since it was fitted and has ruined some of my kitchen floor. My kitchen is a complete mess with the floor all pulled up and the washing machine pulled out so my planned evening of crafting did not happen :-( Hopefully we will get it sorted today but I could do without all the drama!

The card I have to share with you today was the one you may have spotted on my desk yesterday...it was made using some gorgeous stamps from the Creative Expressions 'Steampunk Dreams' set which is available here from My Mum's Craft Shop. I created a background using Spun Sugar and Victorian Velvet distress inks and Dreamweaver brushes then stamped some of the cogs and butterflies using more distress inks.

The dressform and little butterflies were stamped onto kraft and cut out and I stamped the dress form again onto a bookpage and cut out the wings and placed it behind the dress form. I stamped the sentiment and then sewed around the edges before adding to black card and the card base and then added the dressform, metal cog and butterflies. I finished with a button, a paper rose and some gems. I hope you have a lovely Thursday.
