New Stamps Coming Soon!

 

Yay! It's almost time for the new Autumn release at Carabelle Studio :-)

Is it too early to mention the 'C' word?? Nooooo, this timing is perfect. The nights are drawing in and at the time of writing this post it is just 95 days till Christmas. So, now you know.

I am NOT one of those people who starts making their Christmas crafts in July, absolutely not, although I know some of you do! But it is feeling distinctly autumnal around here, it's getting colder, the nights are drawing in, and I even lit my stove one night! So, that means you can start thinking about Christmas now.

With that in mind I designed a few Christmassy things including lots of trees, a snowman and some particularly goofy reindeer. Personally the silly reindeer is my favourite.

But to balance things out a bit, I also designed some hearts ... so maybe you can get ready for Valentine's Day too ;-)

Lots of fab new designs coming from the other designers too so watch this space or keep your eyes peeled on social media.

Lots more samples coming from me soon!

Art journaling with Carabelle Studio

'Tweeters' by me! for Carabelle Studio 

I love a bit of art journaling, but I really REALLY love it in my junk journal.  

I often have a few bits lying around leftover from other projects and in this case this is exactly what happened. I had this crazy cross little bird from Tweeters already coloured, a bit of old ledger paper which I had added some inky marks to, and a scrap of Grafix Matte Duralar with alcohol ink on. (Haven't tried alcohol ink on Matter DuraLAr? Oh, you must! Its fab!)

 

There was a lot of dense colour on the Duralar so I left a lot of the ledger paper untouched - I like the contrast. I added a few scribbles with some Distress Crayon to tie it all together, and a couple of toadstools (washi tape stickers) and then a few of my usual splats and scribbles. A bit of stitching and Ta-Da!

Oh, and the quote is my own. Makes me LOL! And it's true ;-)

P.S. New Carabelle coming tomorrow! Woop! Watch this space!

New Classes!
