I just wanted to quickly post up my demo samples for any of you who missed the shows. Just a quick post from me today as I drink my lemsip and feel sorry for myself…I’ve come down with flu it would seem but I am just thankful this happened today and not yesterday so I could get through my shows.

Step 1: Take two strands of rope the same length…I cut mine approx 14 inches (35cm) This gives you plenty of rope to tuck underneath you layers.

Step 2: Take one piece of the rope and cross over.

Step 3: Take you second piece of rope and arrange like this.

Step 4: Keeping your first peice of rope in the original postion, bring down the second piece of rope like this.

Step 5: And then under and over like this.

Step 6: And over and under again like this. The Knot is now forming!

Step 7: Pull the four ends of rope evenly to create your perfect Knot!

I hope you have found this tutorial easy to follow!

I stamped the focal image on parchment paper and embossed in white embossing powder. I then used ‘Lacey Circles S4-29and threaded the cord in and out of the loop holes. I believe the paper was October Afternoon. When I saw this paper I knew I just had to have it for my ship cards because of the red and blue stripes. The rest of the images were stamped and embossed in gold embossing powder and then cut out.

I have had a few requests on pictures of Leah, so here is my gorgeous smiley girl at 7months

Hey Bloggers! Thank you all so much for your lovely comments on the previous post. Its a week tomorrow (friday 17th) until my show and I still have a few ideas for samples to make. I’ve just realised that I haven’t revealed the names of the two new stamp sets…drumroll please….’Nautical Journey’ and ‘Weigh Anchor’ . Today I thought I’d share another sample.

I dont usually make alot of stepper cards but I was quite pleased with how this one turned out. This entire card was created just using one colour ink pad ‘Denim‘ Adirondack Ink. I started with stamping and embossing my images in clear, followed by some cut’n'dry distressed edges.

As you all know I have a 7month old daughter who takes up alot of my time so I was delighted when Sue offered to help make samples for my show. This is a card which Sue has put on her blog today, so click HERE for all the details on how she made it. Thanks Sue!

As we are now into February I thought I would start showing some of my sample cards before my TV show on the 17th.

I must admit I am really looking forward to demonstrating these stamps. I have come up with so many different ideas I just didnt know which ones to pick to demonstrate live.

So can anyone spot the new A6 Background Stamp? the new ribbons/rope? lol So many cool new thing that will be arriving in a few weeks! More will be revealed at a later date but for now what do you think? These new stamps work perfectly with Kraft Cardstock huh?!

Hey Bloggers! Sorry I’ve not been posting much. Leah is on the move and keeping me busy. She’s no longer happy sitting in her chair and likes rolling around on the floor..considering she can’t crawl she can certainly cover some ground quickly! So my crafting time has been limited to evening time. I received the rubber for the rest of my new designs this week…always a good parcel to open. As I said previously I can’t reveal much until they have been launched in February…but I may have accidently *cough cough* put some snippets below….

These are samples for the two new stamp sets that I will be demonstrating on Create and Craft on the 17th February (as long as this doesn’t get changed)

I’m sure I don’t have to spell it out to you what these are all about….netting….a message in a bottle…blue and white……hehehe!

Have a great weekend!
