More Mugs

Ok more mugs but I need to get them out of my system. They are so addictive once you get the hang of it.

It is unfortunate that some of the Pink Ink stamps are so large that I can't use them on mugs but there is nothing to say I can't use them on plates lol

I have decorated many more items which will soon be appearing in my NuMonday shop. x

Stamping on mugs

When we can all go out again I will be teaching a painting your mug class at Crafty Friends in Rainham, Kent. I want to make a selection of examples and these are the two I have finished so far.

The other side of the Ostrich mug is a pink version.

They are so much fun to make and can be hand washed after use.

I know that a lot of you have asked how I have made the mugs but I promise once all of the classes have finished I will do a video along with a kit to get you started. Obviously you will need to purchase your own Pink Ink stamps. Watch out for more xx

Vintage Photo Frame

Now this is definitely one I wanted to keep. The beautiful MDF Fob watches are just the right size to put photos in or you could use Tim Holtz images if you haven't any suitable/

I heat embossed the front of the watch frames and then after sticking paper to the back piece, stuck the two pieces together creating the watch.

The MDF tree was also in this release by SamanthaK and the little ladybirds were Sam's stamped images coloured and then 3d using Glossy Accents.

Don't forget you can see all my class samples at www.ladiesthatcraft.blogspot.co.uk

You can buy all of SamanthaK's MDF HERE.

Tick Tock

Was really delighted when I saw this kit from SamanthaK a few months ago. I am a big fan of steam punk and with the clock base in the kit as well there was no choice lol

I didn't put a clock mechanism on this one but it could easily be done.

I made the clock base and stuck on the cogs then painted the whole piece in black gesso.

When dry I rubbed white/gold wax into the whole piece. One of my favourites this year.

Embrace

I keep forgetting to post pages from my new hardback book journal mainly because I cant stop playing which is the point really I suppose.

So how did this come about? Well i got hooked on a trip to see my friend Mags Woodcock about a month ago. One evening she showed me the book she had been creating in and I loved it so much I decided to start my own.

The book was £1 from a charity shop and was a bit brown and well thumbed. I only use my stash  and no specially bought products so its just a bit more "mine"

This double page started because we were all talking in class about the poppies for Remembrance Sunday and I had a few small circle punches in my craft bag.

 Initially I started with just a few circle flowers

but then I sort of got carried away.

 

This has become my go to book when I want to clear my mind and just play. Hope you like it xx
