Wild Rose Studio - Football Lad

I hope you have enjoyed this spotlight, it is nearly coming to an end. As promised the next stamp is Mia in Kimono Stamp from the Wild Rose Studio stamps, and I have really enjoyed this stamp. I really enjoy the oriental range of products, unique and a kind of cards you do not often see in the shops.

On this card is some layering, some machine stitching and I really enjoyed making this card. I have a new sewing machine and will enjoy playing with it.

Wild Rose Studio - Mia With Cracker

Finally, this is a very quick post again from me. Sorry, I hope to catch up on your blogs over the next couple of days. Been behind schedule in preparing for demos. I do set myself up for quiet a high challenge! So many products and so many cards. Next time, maybe I should set my targets lower! lol.

I have been booked in for another demonstration, will let you have the details soon.

Last day of the Wild Rose Studio Festive Frolics Blog Hop card, if you have not already entered, you got til 9am! Hurry...

I wanted to show you with this card, that if you dont have the stamp, but the papers, you can follow the project from the Wild Rose Studio site and just replace it with an appropriate image that you do have! But equally like me, if the card inspires you I more than likely end up buying the stamp! To see my other cards from Mia with Cracker, see my Saturdays post. Will be back to announce the winner soon of my prize giveaway from the Blog Hop

Happy Sunday Morning to you.

I have delayed posting the Forever Friends Sunday card until next week, I hope that I have not yet bored you with all the cards from Wild Rose Studio.

To see my other cards I have made over the last year or so with these products, you can always click on the labels at the end of the post. Alternatively click here, you will see all the cards from the past week, then carry on scrolling and you will see all the others I have made.

Many times when I have been demonstrating, a lot of people do not follow a project because they feel they need to go and buy the little extras that have been used on the project and do not feel they can justify that expense or afford it for every little project. However, what i try to teach them to be inventive and use what you have in touch. Todays card, follows a project on the site, but here i dont have those luxurious hat style pins, or organza ribbons. So i have used a punch i have to accent the sentiment on the front of the card, and followed it with a trail of silver glitter dots. I think it is equally as effective. I hope you like.

Also, what I like about the Wild Rose Studio Jolly Greetings Stamp and Christmas Circles Stamp, you can use them on any Christmas card, not just Wild Rose Studio. And are two stamps that are definitely value for money

Lots of things to do and so much little time, what is a girl to do!

Oh well, better to be busy that quiet! Just catched up on watching tv today and the launch of SWALK christmas stamps! About time! How long have people been asking for them, they got the Humphrey christmas range out sooner. But I think this time, I will buy the stamps individually than the whole set! There are some I am not really keen on this time. They say on tv, that they wanted to create cards for the whole winter season and to cater for birthdays etc. Which is nice, but it is not really listening to all the people out there! Christmas SWALK - baubles, trees. Only a couple really fit that description for me. But at least they are here and with the change of the sentiment they can be used for both christmas and wintry birthdays.

Don't forget the Wild Rose Studio Blog Hop, you can use any paper or product as long as it is christmas themed. You have til Monday to enter. And there is a lovely grand prize, do come and join us here

The inspiration for the above card came from the site, which were these cards below I made with my slight variation on it. I hope you enjoy it. Tomorrow there will be a Pickle card day. Check out my Tuesdays card by clicking on the label below this post.

I tell you I wish I could skate and dance on ice, I have never stepped on ice and don't plan to do so any time soon. Funny how a broken bone changes you on not to be so daring!

Whoops, Pickles returns again this week for a little more spotlight this week! It has been popular with the DT and me. My new stamps of Pickles with an Igloo and a tipple, arrived from the glitterpot on Wednesday, hopefully I will be able to show you something by the end of this week. I can not wait to start using them. I have already inked them up, now they are waiting to be coloured in and get put on a card with some papers.

Today is a short post, sorry :(. Getting used to these early starts at work again is sure hard work.  I have Occupational Health tomorrow.

Wild Rose Studio - Football Lad Stamp

Good news, after this week I only have another two cards using this stamp to show you. Sorry if you are bored. But do remember you can replace the image I have used with another stamp from the range or with one that you own if you can not afford the stamp. I hope that I have provided you with lots of inspiration though!

I have done a bit of paper pricking on the papers, and used ribbon. In retrospect now, perhaps I should have used mini buttons instead of Gems. Will make a note for the future.

I have used another layout again, that I like and often rotate and flip. I have used this previously on a Forever Friends card and I like the combination so I used it again. These layouts really do come in handy when you lose your mojo to guide you and find that naughty missing mojo.

Wild Rose Studio - Football Lad

Back to business today. Here is another card I have made using Wild Rose Studio Football Lad stamp. Links to stamps and products are in the product section of this post. Just a quick post from me today.

I love my cuttlebug and it is getting more use of it now, then when I first bought it! It needs to - considering the amount I have spent on embossing folders, plates and nestabilities. They are stunning. However, if you do not have a cuttlebug, there is still stencils, or you can decorate a plain cardstock with stamps like i used to - well still do.

Good News

I am bursting with excitement to tell you that I have been selected to be the guest designer for an upcoming blog hop for Wild Rose Studio. Woohoo!!!

I was so excited that I could not wait until a free day in my posts to tell you, which would have been 27th September! I decided to postpone Me To You Saturday post for today until next week. So do come back next week, and there will be the usual Me To You cards. There will be a blog hop, a challenge and some prizes to be won! Keep your eyes peeled for this upcoming event.

You all know I love the Wild Rose Studio products, their designs are fab and so unique. They have some set of stamps and some individual ones. They are made of high quality material and not flimsy, and built to last.  I have no idea how I became hooked, but I am glad I did become hooked.

So stay tuned into this space....

I purchase all my Wild Rose Studio craft products from The Glitterpot, as they always have the new stamps and papers in stock.

Man of the Match

This is Forever Friends Week 25, a quarter of a century folks! haha... Another milestone. I have created this card using the Forever Friends Retro Collection. I have really enjoyed this stamp, maybe a bit too much. I have combined this with the Wild Rose Studio papers.

Another card using this Football Lad Stamp, I hope that you are not bored!  I have more to come...

Just a quick post today from me, to show the card. Things are really manic here and I am really busy. It is so much work when I first started to maintain a blog, comments, galleries, shops, photos. Don't you think? Photos take a lot more time, edit, take, retake, tags.

I always encourage people to use up their scraps in my demos, and this uses up scraps for the background. A great use. And has been inspiredd by the talented Elizabeth Allan.

Wild Rose Studio Football Lad Stamp Spotlight

I recently emailed Dulcie all my cards, and she really liked them. For those who do not know, Dulcie Jackson, is the creator of all the Wild Rose Studio designs and responsible for bringing you these gorgeous stamps made from high quality material. That was a big compliment. Fingers crossed, I may get picked to be a Guest Designer for her one day!

.

On the official site for Wild Rose Studio there are an array of project ideas, do not forget to check them out. Although they may use a stamp you do not have, that does not mean you can not use the stamp that you do have. Although I have used the Football lad stamp on this project from their site, any of the cards I have shown or will show - the image can easily be replaced with the rugby lad stamp, the fisher stamp, the beer guy one.

Wild Rose Studio Football Lad Stamp Spotlight

I have created a few cards using this gorgeous Football Lad stamp from Wild Rose Studio. In comparison to Docrafts / Trimcrafts yes Wild Rose Studio stamps are more expensive on an individual basis. However, you are getting high quality designs made from high quality, designed to last. And they are definitely worth their money. Wild Rose Studio also have set of stamps. There are also other brands such as Hero Arts and Penny Black, which are more expensive, but again their designs are stunning and have endless possibilities.

Wild Rose Studio has an official site with projects to inspire you with their range of stamps. Here is a card I made using this stamp. For a while, I am going to show you cards I have made using this stamp and then the next stamp I will spotlight is Mia in Kimono which has been very popular and constantly selling out in the shops. And i love it! I have so many ideas.

Also, I will link up to the stamps and papers to the site where I often purchase my Wild Rose Studio goodies from. There are also available at Kims Craft. If you want to see other projects I have made, do not forget to click on the labels at the end of the post, this will show you all the projects made using that particular product.

Some more of my hand stitching on the cards. Well I should confess, the hand stitching is from my mum, gives her something to do whilst she is sitting down and stops her from going into the kitchen
