Stamping Inspiration - Fabric Bags

I've been taking some more product pics today; I've been approached by one of the top cardmaking magazines in the UK who would like a picture of my Caravan of Love stamp in a little feature so I've redone that picture.  I'm thrilled to bits to have been approached for this :-D

At the same time, I started to take a few more shoots to inspire people on how to use their Skull and Cross Buns stamps.  I made a custom stamp for my Mum to give as a gift and she made a sweet little cotton gift bag for it to go in and what better way to customise it than stamping on it, of course!

I used a Versa Craft ink pad on this one (sometimes they're known as Fabrico).  It's a great multi-purpose ink pad which you can use on paper and wood as well as fabric, you simply heat set it with a non-steam iron and then it's permanent and can be washed.

The birdie in the stamp is my new Sleepy Birdie, coming to my shops soon in a pair like my mini and midi ones.

Right, I'm off to enjoy the rest of my Bank Holiday weekend, I hope you're having a great one, too!

Folksy Friday - Foxy Finds

Hey all! It's been a busy few days in Skull and Cross Buns Towers, school was closed two days last week which has delayed my creativity a bit but I was almost back on track after having a lovely influx of orders until my trusty laptop came to a grinding halt last night :-O

Anyway I've now taken over Mr Cross Buns' computer instead (sorry hubby!) so business as normal as soon as I can get my printer plugged in.

It's Folksy Friday time and as usual I racked my brain for ideas and thought about a Fox theme :-) It's our surname and the kids have got loads of toy Foxes around the house; they might well have a few more looking at the lovely selection on Folksy!







A foxy selection, I'm sure you'll agree ;-)

Have a great weekend!

Etsy Picks - Feeling Fruity!

I'm trying to have a bit of a healthy eating kick at the moment (last night's takeaway excluded!) so my currently overflowing fruit bowl gave me some inspiration for some Etsy picks!







Enjoy :-D
