What a glorious morning it is! I have pegged the washing out and it's actually steaming in the sunshine. But there's a real 'end of summer' feel to the weather now; everyone (in this house at least) is back at school today and you can tell we're heading for autumn.
Autumn naturally gets us crafters thinking about Christmas projects and I have a handful made that I can show you... all using brand new products from the Autumn/Winter catalogue.
Have you had a look yet? I’d love to hear what you think!
But most of my Christmas projects will be top
secret until after my Christmas is Coming Stamp-a-Stack. Talking of which, this
event is now completely full! Sorry if you’ve missed the boat; my Christmas
events are always really popular but I just don’t have room in the hall for any
more people.
The next Christmas event will focus on
packaging, décor and gifts and will take place on the afternoon of Saturday, 14th
December – registration is not yet open. But you CAN register for my Epic Day
of Crafting, on Saturday, 19th October. This will be an all-day
event with three fab workshops. You can secure your place now with a £5
deposit. Click here for
details.
Meanwhile, here’s another stamp set that I
love from the new Autumn/Winter catalogue. It’s called Calm Christmas and
features this beautiful dove, along with two greetings stamps.
Here I’ve used that same direct-to-paper
technique that I used on this Wetlands card. I simply swiped the Soft Sky ink
pad across the paper to create a sky, then stamped the dove on top in Midnight
Muse.
An image from Mosaic Madness in Smoky Slate
completes the effect and keeps things quite serene, I think.
