Jessie B's Crafts!

Hey there, So I have definitely been in an autmunal mood with my crafting recently. I will try & post some more of what I've created in due course.  It has indeed become more autumn here in England, with the crisp mornings & warm afternoons. We have a bit of last minute summer going on over this weekend too. Right back to what I have created. I saw this fab challenge on Jen Mitchell's blog such a fab page for inspiration. The theme was leaves over at Addicted to CAS  and here is what I made: I love how the leaves pop against the green background, I inked the woodlands embossing folder before putting it through the big shot.  Thanks for popping by, X Jessie B X  Built for Free Using: My Stampin Blog

Hi all, So the autumn/winter catty came out at the beginning of September & all though I got the chance to pre order in August I have only just managed to ink this lovely stamp set. I really like the All Ye Faithful stamp set as it really shows the true meaning of Chrismas to me. So I saw this great sketch over at   TGIF Challenges : Here is what I created: Thanks for popping by & see you hear again soon,  X Jessie B X Built for Free Using: My Stampin Blog

Hi there, Its a glorious morning here in Bristol & have just been taking pictures of the balloons that are flying towards my home, here is one:  Anyway, back to some crafting inspiration - I came across this challenge site Stamp Ink Paper  when the first challenge came out due to seeing it on Justin Krieger's blog . But this is the first time that I have actually got round to taking part!!  So this is the challenge:  I've been using the great stamp set Garden in Bloom from the Su! Annual catty and just cant seem to get enough of it! I went to another training evening last night which was really nice! So my swap is what I'm going to share with you:  Here is a couple of close ups:  Hope you are inspired to create & take part is this challenge. Jessie x B x Built for Free Using: My Stampin Blog

So I haven't blogged in a while, life seems to get in the way sometime. June was a busy month for me went to a couple of concert, one in my home town Bristol to see the Kasier Cheifs & the other was in Edinburgh to see the Piano Guys it was well worth going there. Anyway, I'm taking part in this weeks challenge over at TGIF Challenges  who have this fantastic sketch: So I haven't really had time to play with some of the new stamps I purchased when the new catty came out so I thought it was time I inked them. This is what I created: Here is a close up with the layers: I have made another 14 of them for a training event I'm attending to inspire others as well as you!  Thanks for popping by X Jessie B X Built for Free Using: My Stampin Blog

So this week's challenge over at  TGIF Challenges  was the monthly remix, which was combine 2 of the previous weeks sketches/challenges into one! So what I did was combined the two challenges I originally took part in you can see them here  #1  &  #2 . I love the pic for the remix challenge it definitely put a smile on my face:  So hopefully you saw the challenges I took part in. So I combined challenge week 1 which was the colour one & week 2 the sketch challenge. I decide to make a birthday card which I really need to make more of as I seem to have more male ones...rather then feminine/children ones! So this is what I came up with:  Here is a close up of that lovely cake:  And then another angle to show some of the layering:  I really wanted the cake to be the focal point which is why I went with a very clean & simple look. I hope you like it & see you soon for my crafting inspiration....

So over the weekend loads of UK demonstators got together! We crafted, shared & were also inspired! At these events we take part in swapping - this means you make some card fronts or other inspiration & pass it on, in return you receive something too :) I used some products that are retiring: regarding dahlias still maybe able to grab this stamp set & the 13 - 15 in colours which are no longer available 😒 Here is the swap I created: Here is more of them together, i created 60 altogether: I made these in about 12 hours when i took part in a 24 hour craft-a-thon the other weekend. It was really therapeutic. I was colourling them in like so: So you can probably see why it took so long. We have raised over £1,800 for cancer research uk! Thank you if you supported & thanks for popping by, I will be back again in a couple of days time. X Jessie B X

Well I thought I would take part in the  TGIF Challenges  they had a really simple sketch & I thought it was ideal for a colleague who has recently moved. Here is the sketch:  so this is what I came up with: My colleague has become a homeowner so I thought to add first really fitted.  I used a recent SAB stamp that had houses on & co-ordinated nicely with the What's Up punch. I raised one of them up to make a focal point & used a nice bright yellow dap from the Birthday Bash & to add some texture I embossed a piece of Old Olive. I got some of my work colleagues to sign it & had a quite a few comments saying they liked the card.  Thanks for stopping by to see what I have created.
