Feeling Crafty

Mr B and Youngest Boy have gone away for the weekend, I knew as soon as I'd waved them off what I was going to do today....CRAFT!
It seems so long since I've had a decent session due to the seemingly never ending decorating!
Recently, I bought some new stamps and was itching to try them, so the first thing I decided to make was cards - all the same design but finished in different colours.
The stamps I used are from
Crafty Individuals (tea pot), Dovecraft (bunting) and Clearly Besotted for the sentiment.
I was lucky enough to find this next stamp set by chance, I have been looking for a nice doily stamp for some time and now I have a whole set!
I used it to make a card to attach a magnet to, the idea is you get a card and a little gift in one.
The next project isn't quite finished but I thought I'd show you anyway and do a big reveal when I have finished (if I remember).
These are wooden tags to attach to little containers of buttons to sell at the next fair, I plan to add a little button and of course some twine or ribbon.
How are you spending your day?

  8. Hi Suzanne,
    Great stamp sets and your cards are lovely. Those are adorable tags too. Having a good morning here in Southern California. We are expecting to be in the 90's. Church this morning, swap meet to see what treasures we can find and later cooking up one of Hubby's favorite dishes.
    Have a lovely day.
    Blessings,
    Bobbie Lynn
