Meet Ruth

Hello Peeps, today I am here to introduce you to another member of our DT members - Ruth, you know that little fly on the wall reveal where they tell us a bit more about their favourite crafting techniques and products.

Our theme this month is Summer Blooms and is proving very popular and no surprises really considering the fab prize on offer from Heartfelt Creations.

When did your love of stamping begin?

As soon as I started to make cards. I started off just using punches but quickly moved onto stamping.

What do you enjoy most about it?   

Being able to use different colours or types of ink etc to achieve lots of effects from one stamp.

What is your favourite make of stamp ?  

Honestly....Tonic Studios!! Just look at my blog!

What is your most used stamp/product and why?  

 I think I would have to say flower stamps. I just love them.

What colours to you most enjoy working with ?    

My favourite colour is turquoise but I think I am drawn more to pinks and reds when stamping.

What inspires your designs?   

 Most definitely nature.

June challenge

A very good morning to you all and welcome to our June challenge here at Stamping Sensation. This month we have another wonderful sponsor Heartfelt Creations whose products most of you will be familiar with from your local craft store or Create and Craft TV where their stamps and dies are regularly featured. 

As always we welcome any form of hand crafted project providing it follows the theme which this month is...........

********Summer Blooms********

I was lucky enough to be introduced to our sponsors innovative matching stamp and dies sets at CHA a couple of years ago and can recommend the quality of their products, since that time their range has widened and offers something for every occasion in your crafting calendar. 

Heartfelt Creations provides a unique line of artistic stamps, detailed dies and designer papers. Many of our stamps coordinate with our exclusive Spellbinders™ dies. The innovation of our stamps paired with matching dies offers a whole new dimension of possibilities and quickly adds eye-popping 3D depth to any project. Our designer papers are designed to coordinate with our product collections adding the perfect complement to any Heartfelt Creations stamp or die. And here is the fabulous prize on offer which is so complimentary to this months theme.

We are thrilled to welcome Eret as our Guest Designer this month and she has created another stunning card to share with us all..................
