Check out the Bling!

We have lots of new products in this week at Crafts U Love and here is one of them, Shimmerz. These gorgeous pots of paints are so sparkly and very simple to use. They are already mixed so no faffing around, just use them like paint on non porous surfaces or metal for a ridiculously shimmery effect!

Kim Fee's Classes

Here are the cards from Kims Saturdays classes last week, a wee bit late I know. The classes were 1 sketch 2 cards. Kim is fabulous at colouring in and on these cards she has used the Copic Ciao Pens. She has also used the Penny Black & Inkadinkadoo stamps

Whipper Snapper Sofia

Sofia is soooo cute don't you think? The top card was this weeks Create & Take which everyone seemed to enjoy. I used the Whipper Snapper Sofia Stamp , Cosmo Cricket papers and kraft card then coloured in with watercolour pencils.

Create & Take

Here is Fridays Create & Take. As you can see I am lovin the All My Minds Eye papers so I have used them again with co-ordinating Bazzill. I have used Hero Art Stamp Set, Great Flourish Messages and the new Scallop Sentiment Punch from Fiskars

Here I have paper pieced the flower and used lots of swaroski crystals for sparkle!

I have used the new Apron Lace punch down the side with lovely orange tulle and my circle is cut from scallop nesties.

Mums Moving

My mum and dad are finally moving house today. They have been house hunting for about 5 years so mum is ver excited that the day is finally here! I made this a card for them using the new Forever Friends stickers which are available very soon at Crafts U Love. I have also used this new paper range we have in the shop called Grow which is absolutely gorgeous. These will also be available next week on line. We have matching Bazzill paper packs and this will be on the web very soon. I have made her a little mini clipboard to put in her craft room for notes and things. Well I am off to help mum unload all her stuff so must dash.
