Crafty Individuals design pieces

I've had great fun with the lovely stamps Jean and Malcolm of Crafty Individuals sent me. Firstly I made a card to whet my appetite. The lady image below, (CI-238) is one of a set of four. There are loads of these sets available, including butterflies, flowers, and Christmas and they are so versatile. The card base is a couple of envelopes, altered to create a card with an inside pocket, I taught the technique in my class on Wednesday and I'm hoping to do a tutorial on it soon.


This is the finished project based on 'birds'. The stamps used were all Crafty Individuals numbers, 116, 156, 183, 197, 201, 234, 235, and 237.


It was difficult to take the full thing well, so here it is a bit closer.

CI-234



CI-234




CI-197 and 234. The tiny words are cut from CI 237, a collaged plate with loads of elements, perfect ro stamping onto tissue and adding to projects.



CI-235, floral swirls for the background. The little mini book cover uses CI-234 for the two birds which were stamped onto tissue, stuck onto white card, punched out and added with 3d foam pads to add depth.


This is the inside, CI-201
and that's it for today!
