Kym's Weekly Post - Sunday 29/12/13

Sunday is here and Christmas is over with for yet another year.  

I hope you all had a good time celebrating with your friends and family.  

It is time for me to show you some Sweet Pea Stamps creations.

Here is another ornament.  I have made it for a friend to put on their tree.  I have used Valerie Wade's digital stamp but she is also available as a single rubber stamp and is called "Christmas Angel".  Isn't she a beauty??  I have coloured the image in with my Graph'it pens and highlighted her wings with my clear Wink of Stella pen.

I have covered an MDF tree with gesso and then a green acrylic paint.  I have then used an Aged Beautifully stamp by Sheena Douglass to add some dimension to the tree.  I have then added decorative bells, gems, pearls, glitter scrolls and twine to the tree.  This is an ornament that can come out year after year.

I am also showing you a birthday card I have made using an image from one of the newer designers to join Sweet Pea Stamps, Helena Reis.  I fell in love with this image and also the shape of the image.  It is called "I put a spell on you" and it is available as a digital stamp and single rubber stamp.

I have coloured the image in with my Graph'it pens.  I have fallen in love with the reds I got.  They seem to have so much more colour than my Promarkers.  The backing papers I have used are from Bearly Mine Designs.  I have used Christmas Traditions, Damask Delight and Just Plaids.  I have finished the card off with some raffia ribbon, gems, Craftwork Cards die-cut sentiments and tissue paper flowers with brad centres.

Now this card I planned to add to my post for next week but then I thought it would be too late as we celebrate the arrival of the New Year in a couple of days so here it is for you now.

Here is the first card I have made since my operation.  The image I have used is from Sweet Pea Stamps and is by the artist Karen Middleton.  It is called "New Year Mouse" and is available as a digital stamp.  I think this image could be used for other occasions than just for New Year ie birthdays, anniversaries etc.  I have coloured the image in with my Graph'it pens.

The backing papers are from my stash.  On the bottom paper I have embossed it using a clock mask and then inked with Tim Holtz's Rusty Hinge distress ink.  I have used a Visible Image clock stamp around the image.  The card has been finished off with some fibres, peel-off sentiment and some flowers punched out of the left-over backing papers.

I would like to wish everyone that visits this blog all the very best for 2014.

Angel of Love

 Aren't you just loving the new stamps over at Sweet Pea Stamps?  This image comes from one of the newest artists, Helena Reis and is called Angel of Love.  Her images are simply adorable!  I fell in love with so many of them including this one.  I am using some fun buttons, a die cut from Spellbinders and some link chain from Michaels.  I added a wonderful sentiment from Adorn it "Moments Like This Fill My Heart with Joy." 

Here's a closeup of the image itself. It's currently available as a digi-stamp.  This artist has images at the Sweet Pea Store in both digi as well as rubber stamps.

 

Here's another fun card I made using one of Helena Reis's images, this great stamp is called I put a Spell on you.  I just LOVE this stamp, both it's shape and it's design.  I made this card with some stunning papers from Paper Temptress.   I am just adoring her stamps!

Be sure and check out all her images at the Sweet Pea store!

Cheers, Holley

On the Mark

I wanted to share a project I made with some of the newer releases. Bookmarks are a quick and simple item to make for little gifts. They fit perfectly inside a card and any avid reader will enjoy finding them in the mail.

The first bookmark was created using the image Free Love by Karen Middleton, it is currently available as a digi stamp.

This image is Helena Reis's Dia de los Muertos, isn't it adorable? It is available in both rubber and digi.

 

The final bookmark today features Helena Reis's I Put a Spell On You, it is also available in digi and rubber forms.

 Thanks for stopping by!
