Simply Betty Stamps Valentine Swap Blog Hop

Simply Betty Stamps have had a Valentine Swap! We were paired up and the deal was to buy $25 of Valentine themed crafty goodies for your partner. I was teamed up with the lovely Sharon Lewis and I really hope that she enjoyed her goodies! Here are the photos of the bits that she sent me! There was a 'Turkish Delight' in there... but I ate it! 

Here is the card Sharon made with the fabulous Valentine Betty Mermaid image.

This is the best part of the parcel... a set of ACEOs by Megan Suarez of Dilly Beans!

And a couple of photos of the rest of my new stash!

Simply Betty Stamps - Lisa's Birthday!

Hi!! So I have had the flu and starting to feel kinda human again. I've been doing wee bits of crafting for a few days and trying to catch up. This post is just for fun! It's Lisa H's birthday over on the Simply Betty Stamps design team and Betty has created a Digi Stamp with matching sentiment for us to use to celebrate her big day!

I have coloured Lisa with Promarkers and fussy cut her. My DP are from Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells paper pad and I've used lots of black card for matting. The gear border is a Joy Crafts die and I've finished with some funky candi from Craftwork Cards.

Simply Betty Stamps Teen Scene Eras 2 New Release

Simply Betty Stamps are releasing a selection of new Teen Scene images today! Eras 2 has some really funky images of teens reminiscing about the past and they are fabulous!! I have had the pleasure of playing with 4 of the new images and hope you like them!

As always my images are coloured with Promarkers and I've added black pencil in areas to add details. The sentiments on each card match the image and come as part of the digi that you would purchase on the SBS Shop.

The papers on this card are from Craftwork Cards Velvet Plum - my current favourite! The flowers are from the matching stamp set and I've used matching Velvet Plum candi with Glossy Accents. The banner is an abstract flourish cut on my Cameo.

 The DP on here is from Bo Bunny and I've matched up some candi from Craftwork Cards to embellish this. The corner was also cut on my Cameo.

Like I said, Velvet Plum is my current favourite and this is another of the papers from the pad with pearlescent purple candi. The flowers and corner have been cut on my Cameo. There's some Glossy Accents and Star Dust Stickles to finish the card.

This card also uses papers from Craftwork Cards from the Chocolate Orange Goody Bag available at Christmas. The die cut flowers matched the papers and I've used gold pearl candi too.

Why not check out the Simply Betty Stamps Blog for more fabulous inspiration from the Design Team and a look at more of the images from this release!

Love with Crafting By Designs

Love is the theme this week at Crafting By Designs and we are joined by sponsors The Stamping Boutique. I have used the Heart Scoop image for my project and decided against a card this time.

I have coloured my image with promarkers and mounted on a Fleur De Lis square die cut from Spellbinders. I have made this a 'Save the Date' card by using stamps from Craftwork Cards. The details for the 'wedding date' would be on the reverse of this.
