This is the third time of posting this. It keeps disappearing!! Sorry guys.
Hi everyone
I am a little bit late starting on this blog this year. I have been busy….. promise! 😉 Just not a lot to show for my efforts at the moment. A very kind Santa left two new machines for me at Christmas and we have been moving my workshop from outside to inside the house. I’m not sure it was a good idea. As some of you may know I am a little ocd with cleaning and all of the wood shavings are making me slightly nervous. Hopefully I will have some quick simple projects to share with you on the other blog soon.
In the meantime,
I am kicking off this years paper crafting with a little Valentines tag.
I cut out a little tag, painted it and added a bit of stenciling and paint splashes.
For the focal pieces I stamped all of the images, coloured them and cut them out.
I stamped the floral image 3 times to create the nest.
The tag was made up as seen using foam pads to attach the pieces.
Crafty Individuals Stamps used:
Sweet Robin Redbreast CI 456
Butterfly Mornings and Wild Flowers Afternoons CI 410 This stamp is new to me and I already love it. Check out the dragonflies and bumble bees!!
Floral Festival XL CI 443 (on the hearts)
That’s Crafty Dinky Stencils “Bubbly All Over”.
I will be back in a moment with another Valentines tag.
Thank you for looking.
Take care,
Flo x
P.S. Do check out Crafty Individuals blog here for some really exciting news.
This is a gorgeous one! As you may have noticed is pink not my go-to colour, but looking at this tag I might take that colour more! Enjoy your weekend and most inportant: Stay warm my friend!

Beautuful, and what a great idea to make a little nest with the flowers, so clever. I love the use of use of a delicate pink which makes for a really romantic little tag. Good luck getting your new workshop up and running. Crafty hugs, Sandra x

Thank you Gillian. I posted the one and for some reason it only posted the title. Luckily I had the edits that I could go back to. I think I was too quick in pressing the post button before it had processed it all!! lol!

Hi ugly bum, Lovely to hear from you. One of the machines was this one http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-trade-series-ex-30-scroll-saw-101773. Excellent customer service from these guys. My old one is a bit basic and hard to cut very fine work…impossible in some cases. Not sure if you saw it when you were here. The other one is a baby lathe. So cute.
