Its been ages....

.....since I managed to post something I've made but I have been getting crafty making stuff to sell in the charity shop where I volunteer a couple of days a week. Anyway - I thought I should post something so here is the birthday pressie I sent my brother in law this week. He's a very keen cyclist and this digi-stamp (coloured with Copics) from Pink Cat Studio is just right! I'm not too keen on cutesy but the designs at Pink Cat have the right combination of cute and simple for me when I want to make something for a child or, as here, where the subject is perfect for an adult I know!

The altered "Pringles" tub (filled with some home baking) has been decorated with my new Teeny Trees stamp set from Waltzing Mouse Stamps. I've been looking for the perfect tree stamp set for ages - and this is it! Love it! I've used the teeny leaves on the card too. The tag on top is from Papertrey's 2009 Autumn Tags - another favourite of mine.

  1. Lovely stamps I looked on the site. But how do you use them? You need colored ink? Maybe a stupid question but I only used stamps when I was a child, long ago.....

  5. This is so good Ann, I hate throwing things away so I will be giving this a try. I agree that the tree stamp is lovely - I love those apples and the birds sitting in the tree.

  9. wow - that WAS a pringle tube ??? That's amazing !

    We don't eat Pringles - I just burn them. They make the most awesome firelighters.... Each one contains approx 1 teaspoon of fat. Scary isn't it...

  11. What an adorably cute card and gift container. Your BIL will love this. Not too cute to be childish. Just right for a guy. Love the image and your coloring of everything.
