#11 Felix The Crafty Cat

Thank you so much to everyone who played along with my challenge. There were some fabulous entries, and I'm thrilled that some of you tried this technique for the first time. Here are my top 3.

  No 17 Margaret - such a dreamy Christmas card and I love that you made your own stencil (mine's homemade too)

No 6 Jo - Beautiful colours and such a romantic piece for your wedding anniversary.

No 12 Carol - These silhouette stamps look perfect against the bokeh background.

And my Design Team Special Mention goes to No15 Aimeslee. I love that you went along with your happy accident, it looks wonderful, and your cards are always as pretty on the inside and back as they are on the front.

Thanks again to everyone who took part,

Hello there! Rachel here today with some more inspiration for our current 'handstamped' challenge - I took the excuse to play with some mostly new stamps....I seem to buy these and often don't get time to ink them up - so today you have three makes using aallandcreate and Lavinia stamps.

You can check out my blog here for more details about how I put them together!

Have a great day!

Hugs

Fabulous 50's

Good morning and happy Sunday. It's Sue here with my second 'hand stamped' card, and I've gone back to my old favourites.

Whenever I need a fun card I always seem to turn to my crazies, and this time is no exception.

There are a lot more photo's  here on my blog, so I hope to see you over there. 

Have a great weekend, and thanks so much for looking x

Autumn Fairy

Hello!! Teresa here, and I hope that you are enjoying all the hand stamped inspiration from the team this month. Today I have a colourful card featuring a gorgeous Lavinia Stamps fairy.

Please pop over to my blog for a closer look. Have fun with the challenge!

Traditional Christmas stamping

Hello it's Jane here today with my 2nd post to hopefully inspire you to join our current hand stamped challenge for November. As Christmas is fast approaching I made a traditional Christmas card using images from my childhood; Father Christmas and a snowman...of course!

I also love the sentiment...and yes I still look to the skies on Christmas Eve...I even hear sleigh bells..do you? If you would like to see how this all came together grab a ride on Santa's sleigh and join me over on my blog here where all will be revealed.

Bye for now,

Jane x
