Sunday Stampers Week 262 - Monday 17th June

Good Morning Friends!

I hope you all had a super weekend, I didn't get much crafting time, but I did make my Sunday Stampers card nice and early this week! I have a big card-making week ahead, lots of family and friends birthdays and still some commissions before I can start 'enjoying' my sabbatical from them..plus our next craft class. Fortunately it's the bathing belle card we made last time, but with a different group of crafters -however making up all the packs still takes quite a lot of time!

First of all though, I would like to say a big welcome to my new follower Sharon...thank you for joining me in my little corner of blogland Sharon! Do you know, after I got to 50 followers and had the Candi draw, I got up to 55 and have been static there for a while, so it's especially good to see the numbers increase!

This week,  Hels set us the theme of creating a project with 'guys' in the theme, so I went straight for my Sam Poole Sherlock Holmes stamps. I have posted projects here before with them, but hadn't used them in a while.



This is a 6x6 card, starting with a base layer of black. I used a newsprint stamp, also by Sam Poole to create the background on white card and then tied ribbon to one side and added a button.

I stamped the magnifying glass, 'confidential' and Holmes character in black archival and heat embossed with clear powder. After I'd made it, I suddenly had the thought that I'd made a similar one already, but I checked back and if I have, I didn't post it! That's it..simples!

Now..normally I would try and look at your blogs for updates before work, but this morning my links have all disappeared..Yikes! I will try and look after lunch, otherwise lets hope it's resolved itself when I get home tonight!

Happy Monday all,
Love,
Carole X

  7. Hi Carole,
    anther really great card. I know I have said it before, but I would just love to see your stamps they are all so amazing. You have made some fabulous creations with them. Now the green eyed monster in me would like the lot, as well. lol. But sadly I must not be greedy as I was just bought my lovely E Bosser so no more spends for a while. lol.
    I love that finger print in the magnifying glass, a really good touch.
    Have a wonderful crafty day.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
