I used the leaf section of the fair door stamp and some gems to create this wreath. I came up with the idea whilst cleaning the stamp on some scrap paper!!

What a good idea!!

This is t+my first project using brayering and Lavinia stamps … I succombed to them having watched your demos at the NEC back in March, and last weekend.

Thank you for sending this in Cathy

This was inspired by Sarah Andersons card with the embossed Faerie houses.
I brayered a piece of card with Adirondack Lemonade, Sunshine yellow & Citrus, then stamped the Faerie houses in Black versafine and embossed them. I made a mask with post-its, and covered up the houses, then overstamped with the Faerie Words plate in Plum archival ink.I stamped Leaf Trail in Olympia Green Versafine using first & second impressions, and a mix of small foliage stamps at the bottom. Incidentally, I didn’t have a black sparkle embossing powder, so mixed my own using black detail powder & Stamp-n-Stuff Stardust. Also, when I use a stamp for the first time, I use the second impression you can always get, onto a pad of post-it notes. I then peel about 6 post-its off the pad, cut around the image, and I have a batch of masks for later projects. I pop them onto OHP film and store in a ring binder.

Lovely card

Thank you for sending it in.

 stamped Lavinia Vine and Bluebell stamps directly onto my card base using Versafine ink and added sparkle using Liquid Pearls covered with plasma glitter. The raised panel was brayered using Distress Inks and stamped with Lavinia pixies and stars which were then ‘sparkled’ as before.

Lovely Corry…

This was my first attempt at both brayering and also using Lavinia stamps. I made this card by printing the verse directly onto Lavinia satin card and brayering over the top using Distress inks. I then stamped around the edges with Lavinia Vine and Bluebell stamps before distressing the edges using Cut n Dry. Finally I added some sparkle with gold Liquid Pearls covered with gold glitter.

Thanks Corry…lovely words

Peel-offs are a great way forward to help people who cannot stamp, or  just don’t want to stamp, kids will love these to, no mess just peel and stick, how easy is that. we hope you like them and they prove to be as popular as our stamp range.

I love the colours in this Melissa. Thank you

.	I brayered the background and used the wild flower stamp and a little liquid pearls – I’ll admit I got the idea from my good friend Eileen

Thank you Melissa this is lovely

This is the fairies topping up the wishes in the well. I brayered around the edge of the card in salmon and then used the wishing well, fairies and stars

this is my first time of using these stamps and technics. I have only been crafting for a year, but I love stamping the best

This is great, thank you for sharing this picture with us

I haven`t yet got the hang of the brayer, so I did it with the cut n dry

People use all sorts of mediums chalks, paints ,sponge techniques.

There is no wrong or right, this looks lovely just as it is.

Thank you for sending it in Karen
