Pulling on the Glitz with Kuretake pens

What a fabby weekend we had at Pulling on the Glitz in Southend!

They had MacMillan Cancer Coffee Morning/Day and raised well over £200!

I went as a demonstrator for Kuretake.... showing of their

fabulous range of Calligraphy and Brushable Pens....

Great Time had by all..... Karen and all her team made me SO

welcome! Lovely shop.... great staff, and smashing customers!

I've gone 'Quackers'!

Oh fellow bloggers....... I went to the Ally Pally Show last month... aagh... It's now October!!

I'm totally in love with the new stamps from Jayne at Stamposaurus!! I already have the complete collection of the Dragon, Castle, Magician etc. etc...... and now.......... these new stamps are sooooooooo cute - The Ducks and Elephants........... I created a few - just couldn't help myself!!

And then of course there was 'Ellie'............

The Elephant.....................................................

You just gotta use Fun Flock
with this gorgeous little 'Ellie

Told you... this was serious.....

These are TOTALLY addictive!

Tag Book & Bind It All.....

A friend gave me a hint about my Bind it All....she said it needed using................ so I just had to have a play.............

I have this wonderful OH... who converted a room - just for me..... to play in.... or to be more exact... to create in.............

So I have the FANTASTIC work room............ and ever so occasionally I get the chance to go have some 'me' time and create...............................

Tag books.......... These OH so loverly papers from Crafty Individuals... supplied by The Stamp Connection............. [they will have them at Ally Pally!] are just DEEEEVine! and BEG to be used.... teamed up with gorgeous fibres and chipboard tags[from The Artistic Stamper - stamped with butterfly stamps, from The Stamp Connection..... you've just gotta have a go!

The chipboard flower on the front.... is also from The Stamp Connection........ painted with lilac... from their pearlescent powder paint collection - and then stamped with the fabby little double butterfly stamp.... covered with clear UTEE and sprinkled with Silver UTEE.... all from The Stamp Connection.............

To say that this UTEE is fabulous, would be an understatement......... the metallics [gold, silver & copper] blend amazingly with the black, white and particularly the clear - they seem to float! something to do with the viscosity apparently..... but they are WONDERFUL ! I say it again...........you've just gotta have a go...................

Altered Challenge!

OMG! was this a challenge!! a kitchen article.......altered.......using Artistic Stamper stamps............ so I played - God help anyone who wants to use this fork!!! When DOH finds out, I shall be for the high jump!!

I used Alcohol inks & Blender from Kuretake and Ranger...

Wrapped the fork around with copper wire and silver lined beads... I then added a couple of chipboard tags from The Stamp Connection... which I had covered in 3 layers of Gorgeous White UTEE [also from The Stamp Connection], which I stamped into whilst it was still warm - using an ART wordstamp from The Artistic Stamper...

Using Key stamps from The Artistic Stamper... I stamped onto shrink plastic using Stazon... and cut holes into the centre of the stamped keys [so that once shrunk, I could insert 'jump rings'.....







This is what you would call 'Off the Wall'Art......
Think I'll give it to my son!

Have fun playing.......................

Capture the Magic, Soham, Cambridge

What a fabulous store! Have just finished demonstrating there for Kuretake... we had a very busy day, loads of customers..... great crowd of people...... really lovely.

Can't thank Vikki and her team enough for making me so welcome! Can honestly recommend this store - out in the wilds a bit it may be..... but OMG what a selection of Craft Stash she has! Def. worth a visit!!

MORE Stitchels Stamps....

Combine these gorgeous little stamp sets from the Artistic Stamper with Disney Jolees stickers from Kuretake! Don't they just make adorable cards!!!

Stitchels Stamps from Artistic Stamper

These new stamps from The Artistic Stamper are just so fantastic..... had a play with them, they go wonderfully with Kuretake calligraphy pens...

Slimming!

Slimming.....

A sentiment I wholeheartedly agree with!

ARTISTIC STAMPER

Don't you just love these stamps from Artistic Stamper?! #

This gorgeous flower was stamped onto one of Stamp Connections chipboard tags, the flower was decoupaged and 'embossed' to make it 3d... the centre was filled with the tiniest seed beads imaginable using Aleenes super tacky glue! The background was made using a set from the Artistic Stamper - these are really great, 'cos you mount them onto 'kling-on' and zap them onto an acrylic block... so's you can see what you're doing-where you're positioning the stamp..... The flower was painted with Stamp Connections pearlescent paint powders which are easy peasy to use and so very very pretty........ great range of colours all in a neat little case! Brilliant!!
