Here are my samples for Todays Show on Create & Craft Tv.... but live at 3pm til 4pm.
It is the launch of Messy Rabbit and Friends Stamps which will be also available on Joanna Sheens Online shop tomorrow These baby vests are made using the little stamps for the backs of your cards to say ' hand made by and especially for you. I used light fabric heat transfer paper from Crafty Computor paper for the transfer, which when ironed onto the vest it then becomes washable.

This is the Boring Badger set of stamps, I used the backing paper from the Messy Rabbit cd to compliment the stamps.



This is a large a4 card using Well Behaved weasel set of stamps and backing papers are again from the messy Rabbit cd

Retirement Card

This card is a large 8x8 square card.
I used the images from the Almond Blossom Fairie from Crafters Companion Flower Fairies Cd.
The image has been pyramaged,thinly layered to keep the effect.

I printed the 8x8 backings papers straight from the cd and cut the card accordingly, leaving a small edge. The flowers are from my Hot off the press stash and I added the sentiment on the interactive part on the cd.

This is a close up of the pyramage.

Prom shoe...




I have just been asked to make a shoe for a young lady going to her school prom, this template is so adaptable to any papers and you can over dress or under dress it up! This is the Cut & Craft Shoe Template
I used prima flowers,Basic grey brads and the card for the main shoe is lovely mother of pearl type effect pink, I used a brother p-touch label printer for 'with Love' in the shoe. I used a jump ring to give the effect of the pin on the strap.
In the base I made a false floor using acetate and sprinkled stamped stars in the bottom.

Last Design Team Card for Dotties World

I have after much deliberation decided, to step down as a Design TeamMember on Dotties World, I have been on the Team since the beginning,but now alas it is getting more difficult to get my cards in on time and I think the others are so much more talented than me,with all the fancy papers and brads etc.
This card is using the Chilled out Mikey image and I deliberately left the background plain using denium & grey coloured card to make it look a bit like a jacket or jeans,I used Copcs to colour him and a cropadile for the eyelets.
I wish Louise all the luck she deserves for the future, as she is an amazing talent!!

Dolls House Parchment

I have been refreshing my love of parchment, I havent done any in AGES!!
I just find it soo relaxing.
I treated myself yesterday to the May 2009 Parchment Craft Magazine and this pattern caught my eye.
The unusal part for parchment is the black pen,but it out lines the images perfectly.
This card has a very so lilac glow and would be wonderful for a new Baby card etc.x

Sunday Challenge on Dotties World

Its my turn to set the challenge over on Dotties World and I apparently put everyone out of their 'comfort zone' well not everyone lol.
Got checkout the amazing cards, coz if thats out of their 'comfort zone' you'd never know to look at the cards they are amazing!!
My challenge is Hand Made-
I want it all hand made, if you use coloured backing paper i want you to make it, by stamps or ink pads and if you use embellishments I want you to make them.....
For my card, I again used my brayer and Adriondack ink pads, which are available at Charmed cards and crafts, I used some un-mounted stamps for the bamboo and script, all the backing papers and landscape are made using inks and torn strips of card i used as templates, with a cirlcle cut out of a piece of paper for the sun template.
The image is the gorgeous oriental one from 'Holly & Madison on tour' which I colour with copics.xx

Oriental Sun

I have finally managed to find my brayer, it has been buried in a bag under my stash!
Anyway, I've finally managed to have a play with my Adirondack pads I bought from Farnborough Make 5 This is what i used to make my card.
I used the brayer and ripped some random strips of card and used them as a template to use different layers of colours, also I cut a circle out of a whole piece of paper and placed over the card using the yellow/Red end of my Big Juicy pad I rolled the brayer over the template to make the Oriental Sun

I used my Copic liner to add the birds in the distance and a the black stazon and an un-mounted stamp for the script.
I haven't put a greeting on, as this could just me a 'Hi how are you' card or Thankyou.xx

Rich....

This card is made following along with Louises Challenge over on Dottie world,of making a shaped card.
I used the idea from the Making Cards amgazine and the backing paper. Then used the image from the downloads of Holly & Madison & Girls about town sentiment,all available from charmed Cards and Crafts.

This is made simply from a strip of card, scored,cut and folded into shape.which then allows the card to fit into a c6 envelope.
I used Whispers Duo markers ( watercolour pens) to colour her and layered with glitter card.
