VW Beetle and Mini Minor Car Stamps




This week was my first venture into printmaking with car shapes. I love the older car designs so chose to carve a VW Beetle (or bug) and a Mini Minor. 



I then also played with some ideas as to how you can use the stamps for a boys party. You can find further details on this over at the Creative Collective Blog as part of their September theme " For the boys".

Composing photos from Grandmother's sewing tin

 I do have two boy themed stamps to show you later in the week but in the meantime I thought I'd share with you some pics I've been creating from my Grandmother's sewing tin contents. 


Delicate Embroidery Transfer by Fautleys




Pretty coloured spools of thread
(boil proof for when you need to wash items in your copper!)




Tube of pins. I love this Cross Fox trademark.
So much to be said for simple strong graphics on packaging.

My favourite app to use is Photo Studio but there are lots of others to choose from. There are more photos here on Webstagram.


If you have your Grandmother's sewing kit too I'd love to see some pics! Please feel free to share any relevant links to posts or pictures in the comments below : )
