Jessie B's Crafts!

Hey There!  Thought I'd pop in quickly to show you a swap I did recently. When Demonstrators get together at events, we swap with each sharing inspiration and techniques.  I saw the colours for the Friday Mashup  & wanted to take part, I also paired it with the  Fab Friday  challenge:              Here is what I came up with: I stamped my Secret Garden flowers in Wisteria Wonder & Calypso Coral I then coloured them in using a aqua painter I coloured the petals in. I used Wisteria Wonder & Daffodil Delight on the one I stamped in Calypso Coral. I then coloured the other flower in Calypso Coral I love the light & dark just by using the ink from the lid.   I used Wild Wasabi card stock to cut out the leaves with the Secret Garden framelits & I used the On Film framelits in Pool Party to cut what looks like a Polaroid - I'm loving this framelits set. I then cut some Quatrefanc...

Recently a colleague at work left to have a baby, I created a lovely baby grow card which I had seen on Pinterest. I then saw  Curtain Call Challenge  and thought I would show you want I had made. The inspiration from Curtain Call is as follows: Here is what I came up with: I used pistachio pudding designer paper stack and used some pool party card stock to accent the arms, legs and neck area. I then had a mental block as I was unsure what sort of sentiment to put on. I asked another colleague and they said just put Good Luck & Best Wishes. So I was like I don't have a stamp big enough...Ding (light bulb moment)!! I can use MDS (My Digital Studio) so that is what I did and created this fantastic looking bib. I printed it onto Naturals White, I was really impressed with the colours. Here is a picture of the card stood up:  Thanks for stopping by, hopefully see you soon! I'm sorry I've been quiet recently. x Jessie B x Recipe: Pa...

I saw the great colour combination at Colour Q   and wanted to take part, I wanted to combine it with a sketch, but it took me a while to locate one so i popped over to  Mojo Monday Here is the Colour inspiration: And the sketch: Here is what I came up with: I stamped the background piece with the petal parade stamp set that is available during Sale-a-Bration when you spend £45. I have seen loads of people do the one sheet wonder technique and have been enjoying doing it recently, this stamp set really works for this. I wanted to use the Simple Stem set that is available in the occasions catty, but wasn't sure where to start. I original stamped the flower that co-ordinates with the Secret Garden Framelits, I didn't know how to then incorporate it on my project. I then thought I can use white embossing powder on real red card stock and used the delicate doilies stamp set, punched with the 2 1/2" circle. I then got some pacific point card stock a...

I have just had my stamping class and thought I would pop and share one of the cards we made. I came across the  The Paper Players  colour challenge for last week: I missed the cut off to put in for the challenge, but thought it was a great colour combination to use so this is what I came up with: Here is a close up of the sentiment and a close up of the pearls:  Here is a snap shot of the arrows and stamped mosaic background: The class I ran was using the stamp set 'Hello Lovely' which I got at Convention in November, I haven't really played with it but I did some searching on Pinterest and found a few ideas. This one came from Wendy Weixler's  blog I just adapted it slightly: Here are the supplies used: Stamps: Hello Lovely Inks: Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, Pear Pizzazz, Primrose Petals Paper: Afternoon Picnic DSP, Pear Pizzazz C/S, Primrose Petals C/S, Very Vanilla C/S Accessories: Pearl Rhinestones Tools: Envel...

Hi all! Today, I have been at my Stampin' Up! training day with other demonstrators, learning new techniques and getting inspiration from others. I then signed up to do an inspiration at our next quarterly meeting. I then had to leave early due to having Messy Church at the Church I attend, so a very busy day. But I had to pop in and show you the swap I did for the other demonstrators. I used the sketch from  Freshly Made Sketches I combined it with this weeks Colour Q  challenge: Here is what I created: I changed the colours slightly to current Stampin' Up! Colours, so I used Rapberry Ripple for Bravo Burgundy and Real Red for Poppy Parade. I cut my Summer Starfruit base and added Whisper White card stock, I then cut some Raspberry Ripple card stock and used an  up and coming Sale-a-Bration item (available from the end of the month in the UK), the decorative dots Embossing Folder. I then cut some Whisper White card stock and stamped basic grey...

Happy Christmas to you all! Hope you are all having a lovely Christmas and that you have a fantastic New Year! Sorry I haven't been around for a while, life has got in the way! This is one of the cards I made, I love this stamp! I wish I used it more, but I don't make that many Christmas cards. Maybe I can use it more next year. I plan to blog more in the New Year.

I've been wanting to take part in the Friday Mashup for a while, but have been so busy I've missed it. So this time I was going to take part straight away. As Amy my Gemstones Team Leader is the host for the DT and it is her last one I thought it was right to take part. So the  Friday Mashup 's challenge this week had the following inspiration:  So every week the Friday Mashup blog will give the inspiration as per above to create a project, but there is a twist you can mash it up with another inspiration. If the inspiration above isn't your cup of tea then you can use the other inspiration as per the outline below: Create a project with the colours "Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate & Basic Grey." Create a project with a "Cake." Or Mash it Up and create a project "with a Cake using the colours above." So I decide to mash it up and use the colours as well as the cake on the following card:    I nee...
