Deep Edge Daisy Fan Tutorial

I have been patiently waiting for a few people who said they would do a tutorial on how to make the Martha Stewart TSV Deep Edge Daisy Boarder Punch into a chain of flowers, nothing as yet has actually appeared so i decided to work it out for myself and it is amazingly simple. The edges are a bit ragged on my example but i was working it out on cheap copy paper that didn't cut so well.

Cut the length what ever you want it at, the depth of the paper is the key, so simple you will kick yourselves, cut it 2 1/2 inch deep. Happy punching!!

Valentine

For the Valentine's card i made for my other half i used the sketch from Sunday Sketch and Stamp and it also fits the theme over at Tuesday Taggers!! How luck was that!! Words are Tim Holtz new stamp set mini words, velvet paper is from Doodlebug and valentine ribbon is from local haberdashery shop. Just love this sketch i am sure i will use it over and over.

All Tim Holtz new CHA items are in stock over at Art From the Heart.

Whiff of Joy Guest DT Call

Every 2 months Whiff of Joy's Katharina is making a guest design team member call. Heres my entry for this month. My favorite stamp Willow with lantern, my favorite paper from Graphicus and some matching paper and card i found in the bottom of a box. Yep i spent ages trying to get this card matching without clashing nor taking away from the image. Coloured with prisma pencils and blended with sansodor.

Whiff of Joy Challenge 63

This weeks Whiff of Joy Challenge is a recipe rather than a sketch. I choose 3 patterned papers, 2 bling and 1 flower. I choose the mother and baby image as one of my good friends is due a baby this week but we dont know if its a boy or a girl so I was abit stuck on colour, after abit of looking around the internet I found suitable colours for ''sex unknown'' are yellow or green. So here it is, hope she likes it.

Image: Whiff of Joy coloured with Prisma Pencils and blended with Sansodor.
Paper: Papermania
Flower: Crafty Feeling

Tuesday Taggers Challenge

The challenge this week at Tuesday Taggers really perked my interest, a couple of weeks ago they said ''save your bits of rubbish from christmas'' So i did and then my mother threw most of it away, all i had left was this tag with a cute bell on it that really jingles too!! So presto changeo....



And here we have it, Embossed front and back with red glitter embossing powder, green inside.... now heres the fun bit, it wouldn't stick together so i had to get out the pinflair and squash it for an hour, took a fast pic and its still being squashed as i type. I made it so it will be a hanging tree decoration next christmas.
