Furry Friend

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I did a little stamping after being to the hairdresser.

Needed a long overdue cut after the hospital and all.

I even had it colored, feels so much better.

Ok, back to stamping.

I used the clear stampset More Furry Friends designed by

Donna Grey and available at Funky Fossil Designs. 

I also used the stencil Party Balloons and

Small Print2 for the sentiment.

Yhe dog and bones are colored with Stampin´Blends.

If you like some inspiration, Funky Fossil Designs has some

videos on The Craft Store channel.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe and keep crafting!

 

Crochet

Hekko Crafty Friends,

In my previous post I told you I have been

doing some crochet. I have been making some

baby blankets for two of the girls who are working

in the home of my mom. Both are pregnant with boys.

I actually bought a package with a pattern, but then when 

I started to make it, I did not like it at all. It was only the 

off white and the yellow. So I bought some more cotton

and just made up my own pattern.

You see the stitches are the same as in a granny square.

Then when i noticed the combination of color, it looked

like the beach, so i found these appliqe patterns for

the boat and the fishes on pinterest.

II wrapped it all together and gave it 

to the first one who is due soon.

So I had lots of cotton left and started to make some

granny squares for a new blanket. i just love the combo 

of colors.

Of course I had to add a rattle to this blanket too.

I found the pattern of this cute penguin:

It is the pattern of a teether, but I did not like the

wooden ring, so I only made the penguin to play with.

And this is the start of a new project. It is going to be a 

large blanket of 64 squares in these colors. It will be one for

my own couch!. I have already 9 squares, So the beginning

is there.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe and keep crafting!

 

Back again!

 Hello my Crafty Friends,

You must have noticed I haven´t been blogging 

much these past few weeks.

Well, I had an operation and I am healing now, 

stamping was just to much.

Instead I have done some crochet 

and did some watercoloring.

I love my Funky Fossil Design stamps and

 one of the designers also gives

online classes: Ann Corbiere Scott. 

So by watching and playing along, I opened a new art journal and

this is my first page:

The background circles are painted with watercolor

and inspired by Wasilly Kandinsky.

The sentiment is printed with the computer,

but the brush and the paint tubes are clear stamps

designed by Ann Corbiere Scott: Artsy stamp set.

And here is a birthday card I did with 

a printable flower sheet by Ann.

It was supposed to be a tag, but I used

it for a 5 x 7 inch card.

Here the inside of the card with a

strip left over from the background paper 

of the front of the card.

Here a close up of the flowers and the sentiment.

All is colored with watercolor paint.

I will try blogging a little more,

but I am still recovering, so it won't be every day.

Thank you for looking today,

stay safe and keep crafting.

Egg Hunt

Hello Crafty Friends!

Have you had a lovely Easter Sunday?

Hunting for eggs? Or for bargains??

I share with you another card made with

Funky Fossil Designs stencils

which are on sale for 20% until

midnight of April 5th.

For this card I used:

stencil mason jar and scenic borders

stamp set: Let's Party.

To make the eggs in the jar, I made my own stencil with this egg

paper punch trough a post it note and used the cutouts to cover

eggs if needed.

For the grass border I used the scenic border stencil.

With the inside of the mason jar I covered the pot

as not to get any grass on it.

The bunny from the Let's Party stamp set is stamped

and embossed with black embossing powder and colored

with stamping blend's markers. The punched out eggs

are from some left over Spring Geometric design paper.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe, keep crafting

and enjoy the eggs!

Thank you for looking,

stay safe, keep crafting

and enjoy your eggs!
