A VERY COLOURFUL ASSORTMENT......

Hello All

I have a very bright and colourful assortment of good stuff to show you this evening.  Some are makes with our latest issue of stamps, and others have older stamps within.  I have several makes by lovely Coco here to show you, starting with this gorgeously sweet card incorporating the kiddies from CI-327 and our new Yacht stamp CI-457..

Followed by some more pretties from Coco...

Journal pages...

...with stamps CI-456 - the Robin,  and Sandy Toes & Salty Kisses CI-459.

I also have a gathering of little adorable Inchies from Coco too.....

I now have a rather lovely card by Joanna featuring our new Home Sweet Home stamp CI-458..

... sooo beautiful in pinks and blues!

Other cards by Joanna follow....

..... and these combine stamp CI-445 Flower Heads 2 with some of Joanna's gorgeous hand made flowers - just delightful!

Here are two cool tags by Sylvie, again showing us lovely things created with new stamps as well as older combinations, such as CI-336....

 
.... and CI-353.

To finish the display I am linking up to two fine cards made by Sandra at http://sandmacards.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/lucky-lucky-me.html 
who certainly was a lucky lady with her win of new issue CI stamps....

.... loving these and their pretty additions of ribbon, rope and shells.  Thanks for sharing Sandra, they are delicious!

Malcolm and I had a few days in Northumberland again last weekend, and the weather was much kinder to us this time.  Monty and I were enjoying the beach at Bamburgh in this piccie - it is all so beautiful there....

Thanks for tuning in.

Back soon, and a new Challenge is a coming!

I also have a few card makes by Sylvie, plus a step by step in photographs, for creating a great background....

Stamps used above include CI-283, CI-440, and CI-441.

The steps are here:

Gorgeous and great use of a single Distress Ink Pad, and the Dinky Stencils by That's Crafty.

Many thanks for your company,

JULY 'MINIS' IMAGES AS CHOSEN BY FLO....

We have 5 stunning makes to share with you tonight, as chosen by the lovely Florence (also with comments by Flo), from link ins to the Mini Masterpiece July Challenge.  Choosing is always incredibly difficult!! However here they are, in no particular order:

No 24 Irmgard ..

'Loved how Irmgard used part of the stamped image to cover and decorate the matchbox and her clever colouring with Gellatos brought out the beauty of the Friends In Paris CI 063 stamp.'

No 21 Raewyn ..

'Loved Raewyn's fabulous idea of stamping the ticket images over the printed Life's Journey 2 images creating the effect of depth.  CI 239 and CI 307 would be great to use for a similar project. So many possibilities for this idea.'

No 19 Carole ..

'Carole made 3 projects - A brooch, a card, and a fridge magnet.  Loved how Carole cleverly stamped onto wooden shapes, using the Alice Palace stamps British Bulldog CI 370 and Jolly Duck CI 430, to create wonderful cards and gifts.  The ducks feet on the brooch are fabulous!!!'

No 11 Jannet ..

'Loved how Jannet cleverly used just the head of the Two Teds rubber stamp CI 440 to create and decorate the beautiful notebook.'

No 8 Dortesjs ..

'Loved how Dortesjs created the background for her project which works perfectly with the Favourite Ducks CI 373 or indeed would work with any of the Alice Palace stamps.'

Many, many thanks to all who linked in - you are fabulous folk!  Could those listed above please send your choice of stamp, and address, to us at info@craftyindividuals.co.uk

Finally please look out for a CI Newsletter email delivery very soon - oh yes indeed!!

Bye for now,

Back soon,
