A new online Craft Store !!!!!!

Hi all
A few of my friends have gotten together and started a new online craft store. called In2craft.... How Fab is that .. I have been asked to be a member of their DT and i was thrilled to accept . They have a Facebook page also for all things craft inspired so do pop over and have a look what they are up to and indeed upload any tips or things you have made yourself to inspire others. You will find a link to their online store In2craft. too . The prices are amazing and they are super speedy in sending out your orders mine arrived 24 hrs after ordering .I ordered 3 of the new Phil Martin collage stamps and this is the first project i have made using one of them ... There will be others i warn you because the stamps are stunning.
I have made an Eclipse card and matching candle set . I have made a very basic video for the eclipse technique and you will find it HERE on my youtube channel which is called Traceys creative place should you like to have a go yourselves ... Be kind the video was the first one i have ever done and i promise i will get better lol.
I have used the Phil Martin Romantica collage stamp which i stamped with 3 different inks [pink,and 2 different reds.]from an .Altenew ink set . I used the Xcut A4 letter dies for the word Love . I used Red linen card to back the stamped image . The flower was handmade from thin paper so i could shape the petals and i used a spellbinders rose die set to cut the petals and a ball tool to shape them .I stamped the whole thing again twice , joined it together so it was long enough to wrap around the candle .I backed it with a layer of Red linen card wrapped it with twine and added a rose so it matched the card ...I hope you like the projects and that you pop over to have a look at the new store... Happy shopping guys .
I have made a video tutorial on how to make an eclipse card if you would like to have a go for yourselves you can find it HERE on Traceys creative place on youtube

A very Girly Tag card

Hi
It is Tracey here with my mid month inspiration project .. I am always looking to make a cute shaped card so as I love Tags ... why not make a tag shaped card .I love the Julia Nutting large girly stamps which are perfectly sized for a large tag so I used one here on my Tag card .I used striped and spotty cardstock from Ann Marie Crafts on this tag and I paper pieced the same cardstock for the clothes...I think it gives a really co-ordinated look ..The gorgeous flowers are from Petaloo...

The swirl is made using a memory box die called Riviera.
The oval fancy frame is made using a crafters companion oval die. The word Love is a fuzzy lemon die and it has been cut out 4 times and layered up to give dimension .
I coloured the image with promarkers and the gorgeous bow was created using my fabulous Craft-DeeBowZ Bowmaker.

Happy Easter

Hi
It is the first of the month so it is time for a new challenge over at Craft-DeeBowZ where the theme for the challenge is as always "Anything goes with a handmade bow."
The sponsor this month is the fabulous Kinda Cute .Patricia will give the lucky winner 3 images of their choice as the prize .

For my oval easel card I used spellbinders oval dies to create the card base and matts and layers. The papers are from the Trimcraft spring drop 8x8 paper pad . it is so cute it has gitter easter eggs and chicks on it .The flowers are from wild orchid. The sentiment was computer generated. The gorgeous image is called Easter girl and you can find her HERE. I coloured her with promarkers.

I also used a banner die from memory box and a sizzix swirls die. The frames behind the sentiment are a die set from The Works...The gorgeous bow was created using ribbon from Meiflower crafts and my fabulous Craft-DeeBowZ bow making tool ,which makes amazing multilooped bows every time without fuss....
