My wish for you is every good thing



Hello, how are you? Today I am playing with a new stamp which I received as a birthday gift from a friend - MFT Fairy Best Friend Stamp. It is a lovely set with little fairies and flowers, and the most lovely sentiment. As they are small I immediately thought of using them on artist trading coins, as I make a lot of coins to swap. 


If anyone is new to the coins, I thought I would write the details on how to make them, or at least how I make them!


Artist trading coins are always a 2.5 inch circle. You can choose what to cut it from, a lot of people recycle  food packaging which is a wonderful idea. I usually like to watercolour mine so I cut them from watercolour  paper. I am hopeless at keeping the backs clean so I use regular card to cut another circle to go on the back. 


On the back of the stamps you write your name, date, the title of your coin and the number of how many you have made. If you made 3 you would write 1 of 3, 2 of 3 etc. There are several stamps available which are made especially to stamp on the back of coins, but you can easily write all the information  yourself.



I began by water colouring a background, but of course you could use any medium. I love the sentiment “My Wish For You Is Every Good Thing” I stamped and then embossed it. 


I then stamped some of the flowers from the set around the edges of the coin, and used glitter gelly pens to colour them. 


After stamping and water colouring, I fussy cut the cute fairies, not forgetting to add magical glitter their wings. I adhered them to the coins using  3D sticky pads.You can use any theme to create your coins, the possibilities are endless. 

They are now all ready for me to swap, I have made some inchies using this stamp set too.




I hope these little details have been helpful to anyone new to making coins. 
Thank you so much for visiitng. Take care and stay safe xx

Fairy Christmas Tree


Well our Christmas tree is finally up, and so far this year it has stayed up! We have a much stronger and easier base for it now, so fingers crossed !There are a lot of mischevious  fairies on our tree....


A quick and easy Christmas card, this time using Lavinia Stamps. I created the background with Dye inks, and used Texture Paste mixed with ultra fine glitter for my snow. I heat embossed the snowy white snowflakes, then coloured and glittered the die cuts.  

Thank you for visiting, I hope your Christmas plans are all going smoothly xx

Dandelion Fairies


These two lovely Fairies are overlooking their field of dandelions. At midnight thousands of fairies emerge from the dandelions and twinkle and sparkle as they flitter  around. Some of them fly away and grant wishes for special,people, while others stay in the field and play and create magic. 


A sideways view of the card, the wings fold inwards so it fits in the envelope!

I watercoloured the background and stamped and heat embossed the dandelions and the lovely sentiment.

Thank you Fairy much for visiting us today.

I would like to share this with the following challenges.


Country View Challenges Things with Wings  - oh dear I hadn't better call the fairies things!
