A little KanBan card

Hi there crafty people, sorry I haven't been around, not feeling very crafty lately! I hope all is good with you my lovelies?
I have made a card

Just a very clean and simple offering for the Craft Barn this week, gorgeous KanBan clear Christmas stamps and a sentiment from Indigo Blu. Stamped and coloured with copics then a big gem in the centre, a little Sakura clear gel spread with a water brush around the middle! Could be good for mass production if you're running out of time!

Welcome here and the theme today for my Craft Barn make is Christmas, I love it! Today is a pure and simple card. I used a Tim Holtz Texture Fade and a TH die.


The Vintage Noel was cut out using white felt and another layer in plain paper for a shadow, glittered and slightly offset. The festive garland I embossed onto the red card and then I embossed a piece of white card, coloured and cut out the holly and some pine cones. The holly is lifted with Pinflair Glue Gel and then covered in Diamond glaze. Around the garland I used Copics to deepen and give more dimension.

The team at the Craft Barn Blog have made some really great Advent creations this week, well worth a look if you can spare the time
 I hope you like my card:0) I really enjoyed making it, see you soon, hugs Gay x

Hello there!

Hello my lovely bloggy buddies, yes I'm back from hols and we had a good time:0)
Thank you so much for all your great comments, whilst I've been away, I really appreciate your support. Unfortunately I'm a bit under the weather just now and having some tests to determine why. I will be back soon, I hope, to share some great photos of Arizona and visit all my lovely friends.
So stay crafty and see you soon, big hugs, Gay x

Design tape today

I know the title is dreadful but you know what it's like trying to come up with catchy titles LOL Please forgive me?
Hi and welcome, today I am sharing my design tape makes for the Craft Barn
A little different these tapes, larger and shiny mmm I enjoyed playing with these and got it stuck everywhere, quite a tangle but you won't have that problem LOL It was just fumble fingered me!!

I made a card and a bookmark


The card uses Lynne Perrella stamps from PaperArtsy that I painted with Dylusions ink, lovely bright colour. The shiny tape will work well for the bookmark as it will wipe clean after sticky fingers have played with it! Here it is in one of my art journals







This pic shows the bookmark open and the magnetic sheet inside. I could remember from school something about the polarity of magnets but not enough to be sure that if I cut the sheet up how to make it stick to itself. I remembered something about stroking it in one direction but couldn't remember which direction. Worry not, once cut up it was attracted to itself very nicely with no encouragment at all  from me LOL
Thanks for joining me today, I'm still on my journey so this is scheduled again but I will visit when I get back, hugs Gay x
