A Simple Fishy Tag by Sue

Good afternoon and happy Sunday. I'm really happy to be sharing my Simplicity Sunday tag with you today. 

These Fish Diet stamps that Melina designed just make me laugh, I love them!
The tag was cut from a sheet of watercolour card that had been sprayed with inks. It wasn't what I wanted at the time, but it was perfect for this project as it had a 'filled in' piece that I used for the tag, and the less intense bits around the edges were used to stamp the fish on. It didn't matter if I couldn't get a full fish 'cos they were chopped up anyway. A little bit of cutting and sticking,  some beaded texture paste for the bubbles, a few googly eyes (sorry ;-)) and we're all done.

All of the stamps can be found over at the store,
Have a lovely Sunday, and thanks very much for looking x

Always Sparkle - Envelope Book Tutorial by Sue

Image
Good afternoon and happy Saturday, welcome to the weekend! It's Sue here with my envelope book. Making your own books and journals is very popular at the moment, and I wanted to have a go. I also wanted to use supplies that I had already as it's just after Christmas and I'm already in 2022's craft budget. So I have quite a few of these -  Colour Craft lustre paints. Loads of these - rather posh DL pearlised envelopes. I bought a box full in a closing down sale, so have a box full less 3! And these, my favourite bright StazOn inks. So to work (well play really, I'm making it all up as I go along) I started by painting my envelopes with the paints, then added some stencilling in a contrasting colour. I've used totally different colours so that I've got a choice of colours for my toppers. I've used metallics on this one and they are really nice! For the 'in between...

Tutorial Tuesday - A Mini Album by Sue

Image
Good morning and happy Tuesday, it's Sue here with my tutorial for my very easy to make mini album. Here's the front and here's the back.   I started by cutting the pages for my album. I've used the Eileen Hull passport die as I think this is a fab size. Plenty of room for your images but not so big as to be intimidating. I've used chipboard for my covers, and a mixture of black, white, and watercolour card for the pages.   I've used canvas for the binding as this is really tough and flexible. I've inked it up with Distress Inks just using the primary colours, that way where they meet they will make new colours and not mud. I know you probably know this but it took me years of mud before I really got it!   Just look at the size of this Music  stamp, it's a real whopper! I inked it up and laid my binding on top of it.   These were two practice pieces from a previous project. The stencilling was too intense for my card, but ...
