Postcard & Atc's for swapping

 Another postcard which I made for a swap at ukstampers.
I've used dylusions spray inks & the character is a dylusions one. The letters & numbers were cut using a sixxiz die.

Here are two atc's which I've made for a swap at my local craft group. ready for swapping in July.
The theme for this swap was stars & stripes.
The flay was cut using a sizzix die and then painted red, white & blue .
For my back ground I've used acrylic paint & cut some more letters & a number using a sizzix die again.

Cards for school fete again

The last batch of cards made ready to give to my Grandsons school for the fete tomorrow.

I've made some robot cards using up oddments of scrap paper & card.

The robots cogs & gears have been stamped using different inks so that there is some variety.

My next card I used this card example I found on pintrest   by http://paperpleasing.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/01/bermuda-stars.html

 

 
This is my card using the same card for my inspiration . The stamped image is a whiff of joy stamp that I brought a few years ago & had only used it once . The paper is again oddments of scrap booking paper . The star were cut using a sizzix die.

 My last card is once again oddments of paper to make a simple card. I've amazed myself at how creative with my scraps.

What's On Your Work Desk Wednesday 315

Time to show what's on your desk .

Why would I be doing this ? find out more here http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/

Today I'll be finishing off cards I'm making for my Grandson school Fete.

The robot stamps I've had for a couple of years now & don't really get to use them much so I thought making cards for the school would be a good why of using up old stash & putting the stamps to good use.

Cards for School Fete

My grandson school fete is on Friday & thought about making some cards to donate .

I've had these High Hope stamped images hidden in my stash for a while now,.

I  thought  its was high time  that I should get on &  make cards with them.

I've used Distress inks , Broken china, & Squeezed Lemonade.

Tim Holtzs Stamps & Film strip.

Prima Flowers coloured with Squeezed Lemonade & then some oddments of scrapbook paper.

Seem binding & some gold colour tassel droplets.

 

Family layout

I made a 8x8 using this sketch I found on Pintrest . The sketch is from  page maps.

I like this sketch because I thought it looks simple & not to over the top.

He is the 8x8 scrapbook page I made using the sketch.

The paper I've used if from three different company's.

My Minds Eye ,We 'R' Memory Keepers, & American Crafts.

The word family is also from We 'R' Memory Keepers.

The scallped edge I made using a Martha Stewart punch & I've used the spellbinders label dies.

June Postcard Swap

I've taken over the running of the Postcard swap from Sam who had been organizing the monthly swap over at http://www.ukstampers.co.uk for quite a while .

I've enjoyed taken part in the monthly swap & when a request for a new host  was put up I volunteered to take over as I didn't want to see the swap close.

The theme I have set for this month was to include numbers somewhere on the postcard.

Here is what I made for this months challenge.
