Wahoo! I can't wait to show you my card today! It is a combined Creative Expressions and Cute Card Thursday DT make. This week we have a fabulous sketch over at CCT to work from and I've swapped it around just a tiny bit to make this semi-circle stand card. I've used the two folks driving stamps from the Creative Expressions Wrinkles Don't Hurt Stamp kit. For the sentiment…
Hello Friday Fluffs, how are you all? How do you fancy a bit of cosmetic beauty to get in to that Friday Party Feeling? I've got a couple of samples for you using Sam Poole's You Look 'Scent' Sational stamps available from Creative Expressions. These are samples I did for a Create and Craft show way back in August. I thought the lipstick…
Will this be my last Summer make for this year? Sneaked in at the last minute as the wind blows and the leaves fall from the trees, in desperate hope of a last blast of Summer. Hey ho! So I've gone for some sunny, holiday papers for my DT make with the Creative Expressions Umount Wrinkle Don't Hurt image and sentiment. But don't look…
I'm not usually one for double parking my makes, posting two or more makes in a post, and I try to avoid posting more than once a day, but I'm getting to the point where I have more samples than days to post them! I have to admit that I am starting to lose the plot a little on which I've posted…
Hope you all had a good long weekend, did lots of fun relaxing and art making. I have my Make The Day Special project for this week and I went with a grungy, shabby chic tag using the Unity Itty Bitty and Authentique Co-branded stamp Go With Your Heart. Such a pretty stamp. I've used the ZIG Black Sparkle Embossing Powder to emboss the…
A little mixed media project with stamps from Creative Expressions for today's post. I fancied getting my fingers all painty but I also wanted to have a go with the fabulous 'No Lines' colouring technique that Zoe from Make It Crafty has come up with. Love the look of this technique (as I might have mentioned before!) it gives images such an…
Hey up folks, second post for today but don't worry it is just another quickie! As some of you know already (and thank you so much for the congrats messages) I've got a new Design Team role with Creative Expressions and I've been busy working up some samples for an up coming Create and Craft show. Got some very sneaky peeks, so…

Creative Expressions is a UK craft manufacturer and distributor supplying many of your favourite crafty retail shops and they also have their own lines of rubber stamps designed by various designers. If you haven't seen the recent steampunk themed stamps from Sam Poole then you should…
You guys all know that I'm a bit of a 'fingers in different styles pie' sort of person and like everything from fluffy and cute to industrial grunge and this week the makes have been more on the cute card side. So to shake it up a bit I've got my second tutorial for Gingersnap Creations today. Those of you who follow the…
Hi Guys, I've got a make for you today - Hurray! It is a recycled make for The Altered Element. I have a number of these cute little tags I got free from magazines, I've been meaning to alter them for a while. Turning them from cute to grungy :) I started by covering the tags with a layer of gesso then painted it with…
I drink a lot of tea, love the stuff so I usually have one or two of these around the flat: What to do with all that lovely cardboard? What to do? What to do? Oh I know! Make jewellery! Of course and it fits so perfectly with The Altered Element's theme this month which is: Recycle I've made a little bezel…
