I'll Try Again

That was my shortest post I've ever done (Computers arhhhhhhhh....).
Oh well I'll try again.
Tomorrow will be Tatty's first ever retail show,I hope people will love her.I know her designer is very excited,in fact she is busy designing more stamps etc.This will be your chance to buy Tatty first before she visits C&C.
I also have our new Cosmic Shimmer drawing inks,they have a very fine brush,which will give you some fun techniques to try.Just give me a chance to perfect a few.



Here is Tatty with one of her animal friends,there are already a few in stamp form,with more to follow.
I used Cosmic watercolors to paint with and the pink background was embossed with a Creative Expressions embossing folder called floral.




Pip the mouse one of my favourite characters,I made Pip female here using the flowers from one of the accessory plates,that was before I found out Pip is in fact male and has a girlfriend Whoops...........

Looking forward to tomorrow, Oh I forgot to say a certain TV personality is on the stand with me,clue...... look at the photo in a previous post.
Can't work it out, I'll post another photo tomorrow.
Goodnight.

Tatty's First Retail Show

More Tatty Cards

I've been asked to show more of my Tatty Button cards on my blog and I'm always willing to help where I can.



This card was fun to make,I used one of the new nesties to make the toadstool pyramage and then decided to find my sewing equipment to add an extra effect.The holes were first made using pricking tool, then using black cotton thread carefully stitched through.Then of course I had to add buttons,at last I have a use for all those buttons I brought in my early crafting years.



Just love those Distress Inks and this card proves you can use them with the Tatty stamps.Colour used was walnut stain and the raindrops were made with Crystal Lacquer.

More samples to follow in the next few days,at the moment I'm busy getting ready for the Glasgow show and yes Tatty will be travelling up north with me.

Just a quick post before I leave for Stitches.Another good day yesterday,had fun meeting more of our customers and catching up with many of my crafting friends. The very creative Ange Lee,designer of our Tatty Button took this photo of Jo and I,Thanks Ange.



Time to get ready,last day,but I looking forward to getting back to my workroom and playing with all our new products.

Tatty Button Launch

Day 1 of the trade show is now over,chance to relax but need to go bed soon as I will have to get up early for another day there.
Today we launched our Tatty Button range of stamps and CD,it's great to show what I've been working on for the past few weeks.She is character with a story behind her,which gives a plenty of scope for more stamps and CDs.But first here are some cards made using the stamps;



Tatty on the swing was the first one I ever made with this range,she was stamped and embossed then painted with Cosmic Shimmer watercolours.The shape I stamped on was cut out using one of the new Spellbinder dies.Just love their new range of dies launched at the Winter CHA.I was very lucky to get to play with these before they were launched here.Look out for more designs on here as I show you other Tatty samples.
Hopefully there will be another post tomorrow as I think I better go bed now.

Today's Show

Hope everyone enjoyed today's shows,Jo did a great job of showing different techniques with the stamps,film and fibre.I loved using the embossing folders and it seems everyone else will from how popular they were.We will hopefully show more designs very soon.
Here are some samples I made for the show.





I didn't have a lot of time to play with these images as I'm working on something top secret,which will be released at the trade show in February.Can't wait to show everyone what I have been working with.Maybe there will be some sneak peeks next month,a little closer to the show.

Purple Dream

Can't believe I'm posting for the third day running,it's probably because I have some cards to show that I've actually taken photos of. It's usually a rush to get the cards to the demonstrator before the television shows.I will have to make a mental note to take photos before I post them.
This card is definitely for those who love purple!!!



Yet another card with the bicycle,I think this is my favourite image off the plate,the wording background coming in second.

I wonder if I can keep this run of posting going,will have to make some more cards tomorrow and take its photo.Here's hoping!
